You have to ask yourself: Is fulfilling that desire for retribution worth the lives of the millions of vulnerable people who would be killed due to lack of medical treatment, potable water, food, etc?

And yet the comments and downvotes shows how contentious it is which I knew it would be when I wrote it.

Probably extra contentious because it’s trans discrimination on Pride weekend. And there’s the fact that some research (backed by the International Olympic Committee) suggests that trans-women may perform worse than cis-women.

Even if more research comes out that shows otherwise (entirely possible considering that it’s hard to get a decent sample population of elite trans athletes as there are so few), discrimination is not a solution. The simplest solution would be to get rid of gendered leagues and group athletes by measureable athletic abilities. Probably would make most people with an actual vested interest happy, with exception of those who want to keep paying women less.

Assumed it was either there or Palo Alto.

Indeed! Would be necessary to ensure that it walks a line that is not ableist, while still preventing obstructionists from having undemocratic power to kill legislation with a “nuh-uh”.

Honestly, with the significance of the space shuttle program to Houston and vice-versa, having one on display in Houston does seem important. Feels really weird to agree with something that Ted Cruz says (even if the actual intent may be a bit different).

EDIT (before even posting): I looked into it a bit and came across this article on arstechnica. It looks like it’s indeed a political stunt. All of the necessary transport vehicles have been disassembled and the staff involved in their operation retired.

The cost would be significantly higher than $85M. It’s also questioned whether the orbiter would survive the trip. Would have been ideal for an orbiter to be in Houston but may not be reasonably possible at this point.

Ah! That’s unfortunate. If adventurous, maybe hunt down a used battery that partially charges and swap cells?

Have you continued luthiery yourself?

Also, I also have tremors when doing fine detail work. Depending on the cause (and your health), it may be possible for your Dr. to prescribe something to help. Mine suggested that β-blockers could help if it gets too intense.

Yup. A massive portion entry and mid level positions in the scientific field that I did my undergrad in were offshored in my graduation year. This led to competing with PhD and MSc candidates, sometimes with 10+ years of experience, for basic lab tech positions… in a recession. Glad to have developed other skills.

So…Border Patrol is operating more than 100 miles from a land border. Yeah, they’re using the loophole of counting international airports as “borders” afterall. Yay.

Subject: Fire

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road.

Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Maurice Moss.

What sort of batteries does it use? If it’s just Li-Ion cells like 18650s, it should be fairly easy to DIY. If it’s a proprietary Li-Poly, probably going to be more problematic.

In your statement, you provided much more self-awareness and abstract thought than an LLM, by its nature, is capable of. They are not intelligent.

I don’t disagree that what’s going on in our meat computers (simplification) isn’t terribly special, in the grand scheme of things. And, there’s little reason that similar processes and results can’t be realized in other media. But, LLMs, by themselves, will never be capable of it because of their innate characteristics. Brains have numerous specialized structures that are networked together, so, probably the best bet would be building systems that can fullfill similar functions, and connect them.

Did Elon Musk shoot her while on a K binge?

And the filibuster wouldn’t be as big of a deal if they were required to actually filibuster. For a while now, they’ve only needed to send an email stating that they were filibustering. This would also probably force some senators who have no business making laws that they won’t be alive to see the consequences of to retire. For example, there’s no way that McConnell has been physically capable of a filibuster for the last decade at least - he should be enjoying retirement (as much as one can wish him well), not enjoying causing harm to current and future generations.

Also I see your point but I think massive exit taxes should be charged regardless

They established them nationally under W. No reason not to reflect that locally.

For one classic feudalism was dezentral, one lord per land, while technofeudalism is very much global and centralized.

The Pope was literally the ultimate, central authority in European feudalism. At the time, it also encompassed most of the known world, making this a non-difference.

Today data replaces the land ownership, rent for data or access to service instead of land.

That really doesn’t seem like a difference at all. Land was (and still is) used for its resources and power over others. Same thing with digital data. However, to say that data is replacing land, I think, would be extremely incorrect. Datacenters require land and there’s been a significant effort to centralize land ownership, forcing people to pay rent to live anywhere.

TIL: Accelerating global climate change, increasing depletion of available reserved of potable water through use of open-loop cooling, intentionally eroding the ability of people to support themselves by using their own works to compete with them without license or consent to do so, and passing all economic gains upwards, with no financial benefit realized by people doing the actual work is “spurious”.

Your claim is that “everything” that I previously stated was factually incorrect and have provided exactly nothing but ad hominem attacks to “prove” your point. So, are you going to backup your claims at all, or are you just approaching this in bad faith to troll or reinforce your pseudo-religious faith in LLMs (which will never be sentient nor save us from the problems that they are contributing to).

What’s a little heavy metal poisoning between friends?

True. Though, not for lack of trying.

Prove it. I’m sure you can find some reputable sources to bank your claims.

Maybe you ought to also better understand that comparing one to people who stood up against exploitation isn’t really an insult. Just like the Rednecks were those fighting for the working class when they were gunned down by rent-a-cops with machine guns at Blair Mountain.
