I'll bet you know your way around a pile of coke, eh?

So what you're saying is that the deep state is real afterall.

Yeah the deep state is real. Real deep down your throat. Idiot.

I wouldn't worry so much about the Chinese. They train their models on US models, and it's no surprise they're "approaching" US frontier model performance on the cheap. As usual, they're ripping us off.

If you're worried about large language models destroying humanity, do yourself a thought experiment about the power of language vs. the limitations of language.

For example, a LLM can't be inspired to quantify gravity because an apple fell on its head.

"Slowdown" translates to "we need to fix some bugs".

The US and Iran (and proxies) have proved that the US cannot keep oil production in the Middle East "secure".

As a civilian and fan of history, it seems to me our military leadership is stuck in the 2000s (which also didn't pan out).

I'd be interested in seeing the Turkish military in a proper conflict. And then all the UN stuff that goes with that.

Not what I like to see, but it'd still be interesting...

Watched a few videos of the Houthis and they're mostly in sandals, or bare foot, saggy clothes, and Soviet era AKs and they're kicking the --- the US-Saudi backed Yemeni army.

They could have said the videos were from Afghanistan after we left and I wouldn't know the difference. I even watched them inspecting recovered US hardware left behind from the fleeing Yemeni army.

If we can't enough allies to fight for their own country in any meaningful way, we should leave the region.

As far as the Saudis go, I understand asking the US for help since we're the ones that kicked the shia wasp nest. But the Saudis have, at least on paper, a respectable military with around 400 fighter jets. Let them Saudis at least give it the old college try. After all, blowing stuff up with planes comes naturally to them.

Sounds like Trump wants to get along with the Houthis, which honestly, I can get behind. We should get along with the Iranians too, or at least just leave them alone.

I'd say a new front has opened up in our special military operation.

The Saudi and US backed Yemeni military said they'd destroy the Houthis, now they're in retreat with Houthis expected to follow them east.

WWII ended in 45.

After 400k dead American soldiers.

We're still over there because we got tired of losing hundreds of thousands of Americans to stop Europeans from killing each other.

Now is not the time to leave, thanks to Putin.

Let me simplify it for you.

Right means making a profit from producing machines that are more desirable for a given task than traditional combustion engines.

Capitalist stuff.

Which, as you point out, hasn't caught on outside of existing use cases.

But tech will improve. They certainly weren't doing long-haul trucking with the Model A.

It's a lot of moving parts to get the energy from the traditional combustion engine, through the transmission, through the differential, and to the wheels.

It takes a lot less moving parts to use a combustion engine to generate electricity that goes to a battery that goes to motors that turn the wheels directly.

Diesel-electric is how most train engines run (they need the torque).

I can guarantee most truckers would appreciate going through cities with a diesel-electric setup.

Hybrids would be great, if they could make them right.

Going from Miami detention, to English prison, to Romanian prison is going to be really funny to hear about.

They're loudmouths, so the hilarity is guaranteed.

"not enough snacks"

LOL!

Literally the only story about the convention I've seen in the news was about the giant picture of Hassan Piker in his underwear.

Very strange stuff going on with the GOP.

despite being called a ... ..

You forgot ------, eb!

How much were these players coached in the NFL?

Kids taking a shot at the NFL shouldn't bar them from college football.

But coaches should definitely not be poaching rookies from the NFL. Eighty-six 'em for a season and see how they like that.

(86 as in the traditional sense; i.e., kick them out, ban them. Not whatever nefarious definition the magatards are using.)

Admittedly, the UN et al. should do a better job of communicating uncertainty. I doubt it would make a difference to folks like balldinger, but it would increase credibility and accountability over all.

For example; ocean heat capacity, circulation patterns and atmospheric teleconnections (e.g., El Nino/La Nina) should be better understood. Arctic warming feedbacks, micro-climates, and even regional climates (particularly seasonal) are other examples. These are complex systems with a lot of unknowns.

Which is why these are all active areas of research. And our understanding is getting better.

Those things could pretty easily be included in articles like this in a couple of sentences.

Again, not that it would matter to balldinger.

I'm not going to go out and look at different articles of the same story.

Unless you have a source that credibly contradicts the UN report, I might read that.

Well, I'm not going to go out and look at different articles of the same story. The article linked in the headline was properly cited and quotations are correct.

copying and pasting word for word UN talking points and not even using quotation marks.

The headline source cites the UN report many times and the article is full of quotations. Are you talking about the opinion piece in the Gaurdian? The Gaurdian is british and it's an opinion piece, so not really "ours" or even "news".

Virtue signaling.

And they don't trust MAGA. It's up to blue dot farmers to change that

That was poorly stated. I meant building trust in our food producers.

I'm glad to see libs ralley around blue dot farmers all around the country.

Folks are voting with their dollars, and holding other folks accountable for how they vote.

The American consumer doesn't trust our food supply or food producers. And they don't trust MAGA. It's up to blue dot farmers to change that.

And let the red dots have the day they voted for.

I'm straight as they come

Clown's ------- lives rent free in your head. You bring it up every day.

Not very straight!

Why are you championing that POS?

Mostly because it bothers you guys so much. I thought eb was gonna start crying!
