Hey, your mum here, sorry you had to find out like this, but you’re adopted

It’s still not profitable to refine oil in those refineries at the current oil price.

I see, I guess it makes sense for the primaries. Thanks!

Is it required to register as a voter for a party? Why would anyone do that? Aren’t the elections supposed to be anonymous?

Great summary, shame most people are so easily convinced by the billionaire class that taxing them would somehow affect themselves, that it’s all the immigrants’ fault, or that all the rich people would move away and then who’s going to create all those jobs?

There are several countries that basically did this and no, the stats don’t change. In fact, de-criminalizing those drugs has lead to a decrease in usage and associated deaths in all cases I’m aware of.

Amazing, this capitalism thing :)

First, the US gives billions to Israel in aid, then they spend it on US military equipment. Why not just buy the jets directly and hand them over?

The electoral system we currently have is not democratic. Sortition/aleatoric is the only real form of democracy.

JS and Python code is equally garbage.

What else can they do? I think what’s despicable is that no other dems are backing this. At least all dems should back it, so that it’s 100% visible for everyone who is responsible for children dying from preventable diseases.

Does that seem likely to you? I guess it depends on the outcome of the probes by both congress and senate, but it doesn’t seem likely to me that anything will come out of them. If even it did, he would still have to be found guilty by a military court I think. Unless all the strikes are declared illegal due to the US not being at war in which case it could go to a civil court, as far as I understand. That would mean the administration admits that the whole campaign had no legal ground though, which I don’t see happening. Plus the supreme court seemingly being completely corrupted as well…

Obviously what I wrote above is completely impossible, there’s no way to invade the US. And by free world I certainly don’t mean Russia or China either, so no chance. This can only be resolved from within the US. I hope it will, but at the moment it looks grim.

I agree with you, though proponents will tell you that’s by design. Supposedly, it’s like with high-level languages. You don’t need to know the actual instructions in assembly anymore to write a program with them. I think the difference is that high-level language instructions are still (mostly) deterministic, while an LLM prompt certaily isn’t.

It’s still useful to have an actual “study” (I’d rather call it a POC) with hard data you can point to, rather than just “trust me bro”.

It’s quite obvious by now that the US military will not decline following illegal orders. That’s what led to most atrocities committed by German troops in WW2. The free world must get ready to ally and invade the US to prevent further escalation.

Is that what’s called a constitutional crisis?

Thanks for the additional context, but that’s a dumb argument. There is no constitutional ground for these strikes, with or without his bullshit product, because there is no war. They’re committing straight up murder which is (still) illegal.

I’m aware, usually investments are not financed (primarily) with debt though.

Yea, except Nvidia didn’t.

Nvidia’s outstanding shares have declined continuously since 2017.
