Yeah man all that stuff was built in the 80s to counter the Soviet threat. We have better stuff now.

So Bill says “We’re not taking over Hangouts, we’ll just fund enough FTEs to take care of it.” Think Sundar says yes?

States can’t just take over Federal land. That’s like saying Microsoft is going to step in and keep Google Hangouts running.

Title made me think of the WC Williams “This Is Just To Say”/icebox plums poem that took over Twitter for a while because it was formulaic in an exploitable meme way. It would be fun to take this author’s formula and have a worst-viral

I wouldn’t feel too bad. Part of the criticism is the poems are effective at pushing our emotional buttons (which is uncool to the sophistos.) But I’d also encourage you to think about the deeper meaning. Is “if you don’t enjoy writing pape

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or how many levels of irony you’re on here. I don’t think you’re using “orthogonal” correctly. And the continual use of the ad populum fallacy doesn’t help your argument.

Of course he got axed. The new nominee is notable for being antivax on Fox News and killing her dad in a accident with an unsecured gun.

Yeah it’s basically true. Concealing it is worse than admitting to past use. Current use is still disqualifying, though.

What do you think it does to child, to know that there was violence at their school, but they lucked out by not being around when it happens? Do you think that’s conducive to their education? To their mental well-being?

What’s the threshold for number of dead children to be considered a Columbine?

I used to get back from band trips (competitions, away games) in the middle of the night. The buses would drop us off at school where our parents would be waiting to pick us up (the upperclassmen could drive themselves.) It would have been

Floor time isn’t all that important. The important work is done in committee anyway (or in back rooms with lobbyists, but with 10x the representatives to lobby the value proposition there shifts a bit.)

That is also not a “spend more money on a department of prolife”type of idea. The question was will they build back, remember? A ban isn’t rebuilding anything.

Foreign investment in US stocks is certainly a factor. It’s been on the rise since the 90s and it could be interpreted as making the US markets overheated, if foreign investment suddenly pulled out…

Yes but these aren’t “spend more money on the department of X” laws or ideas. Other than military and law enforcement, which I already mentioned. Bush consolidating power under DHS and expanding wiretaps is of course Republican party values

> why shouldn't they appreciate having fewer of their tax dollars being spent on things they don't even agree with? Democracy doesn’t mean we all agree.

They’ve moved quickly, but this has all been in planning for decades. Their beliefs and motivations are all out there for everyone to see. There’s nothing to suggest they want to rebuild.

Always was.

Their stated goals are lower taxes, less regulation, less government presence. What they want bigger is private riches through industry and church. They all believe this, voter and representative. What part do you think gets built back? May

This is a sobering account. Thank you for sharing. I’m curious, is the ADHD child receiving treatment? On medication? I wish more people understood how this goes, when their answer to every social ill is “people need to do better” and there

The people are there expensing energy even if you don’t hire them, but we can choose not to expend the energy to make an LLM. I don’t know how to explain it any more simply than that.

by relaxing 2y ago
No, we don’t have to create an LLM to do a task. That’s a choice with costs we can evaluate. If you really don’t understand how corporate travel arrangements work, I’ll clue you in: Your employer reimburses your hotel even though you’d b

The humans already exist. We’re neither creating nor destroying them for the purpose of doing an LLM equivalent task, nor am I bathing or clothing myself to think up an answer to something, and evaluating the problem as though we are is a s
