If both those premises hold

You’re just doing Pascal’s Wager For Computers.

Obviously it went down because of the holiday.

AIs need days off too

Francisco “Cisco” Aguilar, a Harry Reid protégé, runs the Secretary of State’s office.

…

If a Republican secretary of state removed 315,000 registrations, then another 50,000 two months before a midterm, and the Democratic registration advantage collapsed with it, national media would call it a purge. Under Aguilar, the same work is described as routine maintenance.

What could have happened in Nevada that would make a Democrat with strong ties to the national party want to purge other Democrat voters en mass?

Sanders supporters took over the Nevada Democratic Party. It’s not going well.

So long as the checks clear

A lot of it simply isn’t worth debating in a media that’s suffocated with fascist rhetoric.

When you know the only coverage you’re going to get is “Politician defends Baby Eating Terrorist, flees confrontation with half-eaten baby when confronted” there’s no yield in engaging a Steven Crowder tier interviewer on the subject.

Staying on message on local issues plays better in the long run. And deflecting from “How do you feel about all the Dead Venezuelan Babies that socialism created?” to “I’m busy filling potholes on 47th and Main, where we’re also throwing a pizza party and handing out baby blankets to new moms and college scholarships to telegenic high schoolers. Why won’t you let me talk about that?” is just the standard - highly effective - retail politics that make someone like Zohran or AOC have sky high local approval numbers.

It sucks that we can’t have any kind of serious conversation about foreign policy. But I’m not going to blame that on the heart-of-gold socialist currently getting heckled by a news anchor with a swastika tattoo on his forehead.

Idk, man. As political prisoners go, he’s looking reasonably well taken care of.

Glad he’s in a Brooklynn jail than one in Texas or Florida. Dude would probably have been Epstein’d by now if he was kept in a Red State.

But even beyond that, it’s a Federal Prison. What do they think the city’s mayor is going to do? Ask Jessica Tisch to order the NYPD to bust in and release him?

So was “Gay Bowl Syndrome”.

That’s okay because I’m being told they’re all going to get replaced with AI agents anyway.

This article is just a recap of one Congressman’s life. It has virtually nothing to do with the headline.

Republicans had to explicitly grant an exemption to the industry back in 2005, in response to a wave of lawsuits successfully pinning manufacturers with responsibility for proliferation and criminal misuse.

Even despite this liability protection, Remington Arms’ four insurance companies paid a $73 million settlement with Sandy Hook plaintiffs in 2021 regarding its alleged violations of state law (specifically Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act). Although PLCAA protections had been raised by the manufacturer in Sandy Hook negotiations prior to the settlement, a similar but entirely separate case had been declined by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2019 (Remington Arms Co. v. Soto).

So there’s ample precedent.

You have to wonder if NVIDIA should suffer any kind of liability for its hardware being used in these strikes.

Trust But Verify is a good policy regardless of where your code comes from.

“AI” code is still human code in some capacity. Human code is what it was trained on. What would you do with a module you grabbed off GitHub or a script you found on Discord? Hopefully the same thing.

Second, there are more personal costs. You’ll come to rely more and more on these tools, and your skills will rust.

I mean, if you’re curious and you’re diligent, you can learn from what the AI chugs out. Skills only stagnate when you trust the AI blindly.

I’d say the bigger problem is that when you’re outsourcing junior coder work (even the tedious stuff) to a machine, you’re not investing in new junior coders.

The third party sites will just start getting the max rate, which would effectively eliminate them.

I mean, if they haven’t figured out how to game the system, presumably. Even then, if I’m also getting the max rate, it’s a push.

Idk. These systems always love to overpromise on both ends - big profits for investors, big savings for customers. It reads like a fairy tale coming and going.

Fine if you’ve got more time than money, I guess.

Plenty of people are impotent or agnostic.

The “you’re either with us or you’re with the Terrorists” line is some spicy (fascist) rhetoric, but hollow in practice.

Who doesn’t work with ICE, at this point?

Thanks for the tip. We’ll see if it bares out.

Do get the sense that these third-party sites are going to become an increased necessity, as data-scrappers and trackers try to peg the price of a flight to the credit card limit of the buyer.

But… idk, I’m not seeing anything on this site that I can’t find by directly querying individual airlines. (Like so many other budget airline calculators) there’s no inclusion of Southwest on the list. And if the odd deal is inevitably just going to be through JetBlue anyway? Why not shop direct?
