Holy population pyramid Batman!! 87% of the overall population, yet only 13% of the child. That’s a stark difference. But the comment reminds me of an observation in SE Asia - go to Singapore and very few kids and tons of senior citizens.

Yup, it’s funny seeing people say how bad the past was without realizing people 100 years from now will say the exact same thing about today. Not to mention the opinions and beliefs that people hold “as the right side of history” without re

Your best bet is to plan a year or so ahead and get sponsorship in the queue so the spouse can enter with a green card. Timelines are about 8-14 months. But as PRoberts said, a non-citizen spouse can't enter on a tourist visa with th

You'd be surprised at the number of people who willingly give up their social media accounts, only for immigration officials to find comments in support of terror attacks in the Middle East. It's pretty easy to think it's har

The irony is you accuse the administration of applying the label too broadly, but not the people who cry “hate speech” and “DEI”. Why is that? We have examples of the latter like claiming Covid originated in China is “hate speech”.

Time to bone up on your civics! The President nominates but the Senate approves Supreme Court appointees. And just because you disagree with rulings doesn’t mean they are “violations of the law”. The President is also head of the executiv

As far as I can tell from the Reuter’s article, the memo reads “anyone involved in censorship of free speech”. To me that seems like a good thing? But the very carefully placed quotes around censorship in the article makes it seem like it w

Don’t mistake what you see online or in the news as evidence of broad agreement. Plenty of people might disagree but choose to keep their mouth shut.

Mike Benz does a nice job of covering the US State department using this for political purposes in other countries. Instead of directly addressing dissenting opinion, you accuse people of “disinformation” and “misinformation” (my favorite -

The President doesn't have that much power in the US. Head of the executive, yes, but that's it. And what has he done? Enforced immigration laws according to written law? Reorganized the executive branch? He can't pass any

Whose profit motive? Insurance? Hospitals? Doctors? Pharmacists? Even public system that are fee for service have problems with profit motive - doctor “does more” and they make more.

> The amount of money the US Government pays just for that 40% should be enough to cover all 100% This is true as long as the following changes are made: 1) wages for healthcare workers are scalled back ~50%, 2) many drugs and medical pr

> Why does political center correspond to truth? Because it's not biased to the left or right wing? They were testing the models political opinions. Ideally, models would be biased to neither left or right wing views.

Assuming something is happening because of past actions is fine, it just isn’t proof. And I’m not sure what your criticisms of the test are. The models didn’t test themselves, they were tested based on their responses. And yes, it’s US bas

How so? Musk isn’t writing the articles, Grok is. And as far as I’ve seen, Grok doesn’t spit out information all that different from the other LLMs.

David Sacks' 5 page letter is pretty scathing response to the NYTimes. Seems like the NYT was throwing noodles at the wall and seeing what would stick. https://x.com/DavidSacks/status/1995225152674533557?s=20

It wild seeing people accuse the current administration of potentially doing all the things we know the last administration actually did. Cognitive dissonance I guess?

The problem is still unfolding. The debt overhang still exists from the housing bubble and is dragging on the economy. It’s a problem that hasn’t been solved yet.
