If you're in Georgia, vote.

If you're in Texas, vote.

They are blocking new ones, not old ones.

Why are you on a discussion forum for insults? Just go on 4chan or the comment section of YouTube. Or play a RTS with voice chat on. You will hear all the insults you want.

Are they new posts or old ones? They are blocking new ones, not old ones.

That's another reason why he shouldn't be president. He's too old. Kamala Harris was a child in the 70s.

It's not just a predictive text program. That's been around for decades. That's a common misconception.

As I understand it, it uses statistics from the whole text to create new text. It would be very rare to output "cats have feathers" because that phrase doesn't ever appear in the training data. Both words "have feathers" never follow "cats".

Then these models are stupid. Humans don't start as a blank slate. They have an inherent aptitude for language and communication. These models should start out with basics of language, so they don't have to learn it from the ground up. That's the next step. Right now they're just well read idiots.

We aren't giving them weapons, like in Ukraine, they are paying for them. Obviously the IDF is using them irresponsibly, but it is a military deterrent to Iran and Russia in the region. Saudi Arabia and Israel can't directly cooperate (for domestic reasons), so they do so through the US.

If Iran stopped their nuclear program (as they did under Obama), stopped arming dissidents, and stopped supporting authoritarian Syria, it would be a lot more peaceful in the region. They can't because the leaders of Iran are authoritarian themselves and would be ousted if there were free elections.

They need Russian support and their proxies (Hezbollah, Iraqi groups, Hamas) to keep their domestic audience happy. Let me summarize: it is complicated.

provenance requires some way to filter the internet into human-generated and AI-generated content, which hasn’t been cracked yet

It doesn't need to be filtered into human / AI content. It needs to be filtered into good (true) / bad (false) content. Or a "truth score" for each.

We don't teach children to read by just handing them random tweets. We give them books that are made specifically for children. Our filtering mechanism for good / bad content is very robust for humans. Why can't AI just read every piece of "classic literature", famous speeches, popular books, good TV and movie scripts, textbooks, etc?

It's not an "ism" issue. This has happened in countries that were completely anti-capitalist. It's just a biological imperative: you have to rotate crops, regardless of who runs your country.

The Soviet Union and the PRC demanded quantities of cash crops for export too. If your choice is rotating crops or staying out of the gulag, you're not going to rotate.

Biden's administration has been the most progressive presidential administration in US history. He limited drug costs using the federal government's buying power.

If you don't know that, you don't have expensive health issues. Also, the idea that there's a switch on the Resolute Desk that says "Middle East Genocide", currently set to "on", displays fundamental misunderstanding of the roots of problems in the area.

The Old Testament commands the children of Abraham to conquer other Canaanites in the area and "make no treaties with them". Clearly there's been war there for at least 2500 years. No president is going to "end the genocide", not even if they were the reincarnation of Abraham himself.

Wasn't farming invented in Africa? Or at least the nearby Middle East. This has been a known issue for years.

I bet it's an issue with farmers needing money now, because of low crop prices. Crop prices are cyclical, so hopefully it works itself out without too much economic damage.

This is more effective than prep and easier, because you only need a shot every 6 months. The testing for this new shit involved using prep for the control group.

The new medicine worked so well they stopped the trial and gave the control group the shot. No one with the shot got sick at all. If they had continued with the control group, a few of them would have gotten AIDS.

Yellow fever, cholera, mumps, polio, measles, and malaria were endemic in the US prior to their eradication. By "endemic" I mean children got them as often as chicken pox. They were almost unavoidable and killed millions.

Measles and mumps are making a comeback due to anti-vax losers, but the others are still gone.

That's correct. Very few people under 50 answer the phone if they don't recognize the number. Biden didn't underperform, and definitely not by 8%. Doesn't anyone remember Georgia?

Black women (and others) handed him an upset victory. Here's the polls: Biden was supposed to win by a percent.

He won by half a percent:

Why? What happens if she dismisses the case? They impeach again? Hmmm...

Who?

rising from humble working-class roots in Ohio to become a self-made millionaire

I believe he was given several jobs by Peter Thiel, a closeted billionaire at the time. So actually the opposite of "self-made".

Nah. No one thinks the economy is in the toilet. They just want their income to go up too. They want what billionaires are getting.
