those are rookie numbers, we can do better!

So we gave up 1 mad king 250 years ago only to pick up 2 now?

everything ought to be transferred to Ukraine, but only the European stuff is likely to be in the near term.

that’s one thing Biden really should have done after the election.

yes

with “hire more” you do run up against the “9 women can have a baby in 1 month” limit, but in this case it’s likely to help.

if this is machine learning and neural networks, I can believe it’s a good thing, maybe even meaningful for the potential of so called artificial intelligence.

if this is an LLM that’s alleged to have popped this “virus tail” theory out of… what exactly…? I’m not buying it.

this is a rift between MAGA and Ukraine.

or they could say between the US government and Ukraine.

I still support Ukraine and most Harris voters and many traditional Republicans (Eisenhower type) do, too.

I hope that the Biden admin did a good job of building them up and building Europe up to last through 2-4 years of a potential MAGA administration. Even if they were confident it wouldn’t happen. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst and all that.

the… remarkable… thing about this is the Trump administration probably thinks they’re winning this.

I just don’t even know how I’d react if he successfully cut the defense budget in half. Would i have to join MAGA at that point?

Because… yeah, I hate everything he’s done or let others do so far. His Cabinet is/ will be a nightmare. I assume this defense cut would come with more egregious tax cuts for the billionaire class.

But cutting that much from our stupid war budget … man that’s such a nice thing to get…

“unnamed source” “unnamed Democrat”

Why don’t these people grow a pair of tits and put their name to their quotes? They’re complaining that the Dem leadership isn’t being brave and fighting, yet they can’t be brave and put their name to critiquing the leaders…? Figure it out.

I would argue there’s a Constitutional duty for all sworn officers to be willing to impose a judge’s order if it’s lawful/constitutional (if ordered). That’s how warrants and seizure orders work, for example.

The question I’m afraid to see tested is what if any judge tells an officer to do one thing and the president tells her to do something else?

I believe there can’t be state charges in this because that would imply a state court ordering a federal agency to do something which i believe is more or less impossible due to the Supremacy Clause.

But the capricious nature of Deputy Assistant President Trump is a real danger to these people, especially if whatever illegal thing they’re doing for him gets big bad publicity and could make him unpopular.

Any official that is disobeying a lawful order from a judge is in contempt, should be charged as such, and put in jail if they don’t obey the lawful order.

If that doesn’t happen, then the people tasked with implementing the judge’s lawful orders (including contempt findings and sentences) are themselves in contempt.

This cycle should repeat until the right people start going to jail for contempt, or they start following those lawful orders.

If judges’ orders can be ignored with no consequence, we’re done as a country.

Not sure if there’s an app yet, I found one on the Android store by Arakassia…

if I were a spy in any authoritarian country I’d probably take it immediately before Trump just starts outing them again and getting them killed.

for clarity he built Facebook to rate how hot women at his college were…

Of course the real President should have offices in the White House!

I hope we’re at least refueling them, and maybe buying them beers

Well back when computers were being developed/ improved there was a pretty strong commitment throughout the Western nations to advancing and expanding education for everyone.

In that paradigm, people would become more educated and better at critical thinking at a steady pace, probably on par with the rate at which computer programs advanced in their capacity to mimic human behavior.

So, “can it fool more people into believing it’s a human” would’ve been a great test of whether the program was super advanced.

Instead we’ve had 50 years of attacks on public education by Republicans that has been tolerated - or at least not fought hard enough - by Democrats. So not particularly advanced programs can fool a great many people. That does make the Turing Test moot, I think.
