"the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

4 months ago I would have predicted this for us and certainly not Russia.

I think this reply guy thought this was a compliment

So a decent AI use case is that instead of blocking spam, replying to it with organic sounding responses at an industrial scale.

three children I know are alive and thriving because of our advances in premie care.

Seems suboptimal.

and another thing: im not scrolling the discover tab. please dont put in the newspaper that i scrolled the discover tab.

Some scientists once made a bunch of Greek marines run around in replicas of this www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/s...

stunning Paris was how this whole mess got started

“We have a weird machine which uses language exactly like a human, ‘thinks’ sorta like a human (maybe), and does not reason like a human at all, but which is easily capable of solving problems humans do think and reason about” is The Most Interesting Question Ever for a half-dozen different fields!

GW used ww2 Russians as a template but modern Russian are a good approximation of what it must feel like to be a guardsman.

You know, I bet Imperial Guard get some really terrible PTSD...

Look, again, there is an entire academic discipline, with literally decades of literature/evidence, from which he could learn. Folks have tried to engage. But instead he believes that our research should come with warning labels & keeps going with this bit. Plus ça change. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

"I was reading the Lord of the Rings in third grade!" I'm gonna need you to understand that you were on the far edge of the bell curve at that particular point in your life.

Just a simple question for this one - if Russia can poison people in Ukraine at will, why wouldn't they go after the Ukrainians killing and maiming millions of Russians? The drone scientists?

This is perfect.

oh wow - that's a goal

Look, I know this site doesn’t actually follow what’s going on with Iran, but Iran didn’t hit a U.S. vessel but a Cyprus-flagged vessel. It’s the maritime equivalent of you being mad at the U.S. and then shooting a random pedestrian outside your window. You don’t get to do that.

Of course Magnus Carlsen is there!

Love that they are all singing Bon Jovi

as called on TV2 Norway:

That was an incredible goal.

had an Algerian Uber driver yesterday, asked him who he liked in the match, he said "well, the French killed my grandfather, but I really don't like Moroccans."

people misuse the word tankie a lot but to me theres only ever been one unchanging definition, its original: blue lives matter guy for communist or nominally communist countries. Also the people who want to fuck Thomas the tank engine so I guess two definitions

I LIVED it.

Look - I really wish someone would turn this around, "we have hardliners in congress who want to go back to war, but a bunch of moderates around JD Vance want peace, just like you. Just like Rafsanjani and Iran Contra..."

A values system that views Pete Buttigieg’s time at McKinsey as disqualifying, but Graham Platner’s time at Blackwater as not, has beclowned itself regardless of the subsequent scandals.

A regime whose army crumbled when it actually had to fight paras and marines rather then murder nuns and rape people.

#CivMilSky #OnObedience #Profession I can tell you why. Habitation and career.

also, the idea that the the shop he went into didn't have a bunch of other even more obviously nazi flash pieces right up on the wall next to that one does not hold any water for anyone who has ever spent three minutes in a tattoo shop

Asking “are enlisted personnel working class” Is how you break this website

what a fucking asshole

I can't help but think of Steven Seagal singing about punani. Nobody wants to be reminded that exists.

Unrelated, but I'm muting everyone who uses the word "compute" as anything other than as a verb.

It’s always been hard measuring how much Russia’s economy has been hurt but the notion their economy is “thriving” has always seemed insane. If “huge grinding war + ~1m casualties + getting sanctioned by half the planet“ is actually a brilliant trick to make economy good why does nobody else do it.

Buying S-400s seems like the dumbest possible defense procurement move possible.

This guy lied about being a physics major (IIRC they gave him the degree a while after he left UPenn) and yet, does not understand the double slit experiment:

can't wait for the behind the scenes looks at how these advisors tried to shut people up.

The issue is that money works in politics when it is working for goals that lack political salience - Israel is becoming a mainstream issue, which makes money much, much less effective at swaying policy.

Chuck-E-Cheese feels exactly like you would expect had your childhood memory of Chuck-E-Cheese hired a McKinsey consultant…

“You shouldn’t get a second shot at picking losers,” says organization that picked an obvious loser.

haha, thats a great post. unfortunately you phrased it in a way that allowed me, a moron, to misunderstand it
