It won't be a coup if they abide by the results of the 2026 election. Last time an election didn't go their way, they did not abide by the results.

Agreed. This is very clearly laid out in Project 2025, which is guiding this administration's policies.

Well it certainly did falter (but not cease) due to incompetent leadership and guidance. We are seeing it throughout the government because the primary goal of this administration is to dismantle so that it can be reformed for their benefi

Turns out, sometimes you want the string "polly-want-a-cracker"* in your codebase. * where "polly-want-a-cracker" is some form of existing, common fizz-buzz-ish code.

Not necessarily. "Strawman" can also mean taking the most absurd example of something and propping it up as representative because it's easier to tear down.

Except you gave a completely unrelated example and just repeated your first one. Maybe if you were in a cherry tree you wouldn't need the worst examples for propaganda purposes.

Okay, then whatever the fallacy is of picking the absolute goddamn worst example possible and saying it is somehow representative.

This example (Uvalde) is probably the worst handled mass shooting in the history of police work. GP is being downvoted because it's a hyperbolic strawman.

Because it was already an excellent chance, and now the most successful biomedical research program in the world is being decimated? Seems like the bare minimum fear to me.

*Up to $4,275 in the United States depending on who eats the tariff -- you or the US company who imports the monitor. For bulk imports, the wholesale price is lower, so you may only have to pay up to 2.25x wholesale.

Yup. That is how the incompetent fool in the Whitehouse pulled it off. Scam of the century.

The most obvious way to change the speed of thought is to change the speed of the electromagnetic signals (light) that produce them. Ignoring the current known laws of physics, of course.

I think you missed the point GP was making. I believe they meant the vector might come from that kind of SDK. Not that someone who had a zero day to allow surreptitiously recording phone screens would use it for that purpose.

Sure why not. I wasn't implying that a zero day that allows surreptitiously recording the phone screen is the only shitty thing that can be done with your phone with a zero day. Also, it is possible for a zero day to break specific pri

That's the size of the largest, most capable, open source models. Specifically Llama 3.1 has 405B parameters. Deepseek's largest model is 671B parameters.

What I got out of that essay is that you should discredit most responses of LLMs unless you want to do just as much or more work yourself confirming the accuracy of an unreliable and deeply flawed partner. Whereas if a human "hallucina
