Most people’s LLM use cases don’t involve autonomous weapons

I don't think Trump himself is making the call based on making $500k, but if some dipshit 22-year-old sociopath is weighing in on which attack plan to go with, I think it's entirely possible that he might lobby for the one that most effectively lines his own pockets.

Has anyone analyzed the odds on particular days to see if there’s a chance that the timing was influenced by the amount to be made on the betting market and not the other way around?

They’re calling it Operation Epstein Fury

How? The URL is literally going to `/age-verify`.

also the link does not actually go anywhere, it goes to the age-verify page directly and then once you click "Yes"... nothing happens

Why would there need to be bribery or blackmail involved? He's ideologically aligned with the goals of the republican party.

His patrons lavish him with gifts because they don't want him to retire, not because they want a specific ruling.

How many high-ranking Department of Justice officials got canned for made-up reasons and maybe are looking for revenge

what happens when that diode fails?

This is great, is there any way to just have it fly around autonomously?

maybe consider a smoke hood rather than something that needs to fit snugly on their face

the joke is porn

a specific type of porn

I just meant rent a box truck from U-Haul, not specifically a pickup

The tool is a lump of metal apart from ethics, but making the cliterectomy-knife was a choice someone made. We can judge that decision.

> Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

> That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

SUVs are the most popular body type in America, not pickups.

Pickups always top the "best selling model" list, but there are only a couple models of pickup and dozens of models of SUV. If you total up all the SUVs, they sell much better than pickups.

you can just rent a u-haul for $35 or whatever the four times a year you need it

The difference is people wanted to listen to Eminem or whatever because it's enjoyable, trendy music that's played on the radio and all their friends were listening to.

Plato is not exactly burning up the airwaves right now. Most likely the only exposure most people will have to this work (or any of the libraries of work that's been banned in this manner) would be at college, assigned to them for a class.

Unless Emperor Trump just does it anyway.

But we can aim for zero, right?

What's your acceptable number of murder/suicides?

Pulled what off? Russia was trying to occupy Ukraine, not just kill Zelensky (though they’d obviously like to do that).

Trump announced that the plan is to “run Venezuela” but there are no troops on the ground, the US controls no territory. This isn’t The Wizard of Oz where you kill the wicked witch and the flying monkeys leave. This is only just starting.

High probability that trump gets distracted by something else and forgets, but if not welcome to the next three years of your life.

Easy: he’s the Emperor of America. The Republican-controlled Supreme Court said that laws don’t apply to him and the Republican-controlled Congress disbanded itself. Are you honestly surprised that he’s just doing whatever he wants?

Based on the speech he just staggered through he genuinely believes he’s emperor of the west. “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”

Wonder who we will we bomb tonight. Mexico? El Salvador? New York?

I thought this was an eInk screen- all of the screenshots show a grainy black-and-white UI. I had to dig around to learn that it actually has a full-color OLED apparently.

you could get one made for a few bucks.

My assumption is always, a bright high school student has an impressive science fair project, but science reporting is terrible and misinterprets it as something more than it is.

(Also: "Kid outsmarts stuffy professionals" is an evergreen journalistic subject, and don't dismiss the political angle of sowing distrust in "establishment" scientists in favor of a younger person using AI)

Not that young people can't do big things but it's probably got less rigor than a graduate-level project.

Don't get me wrong, this is a really cool idea and it sounds like he did a great job. I don't want to be unjustly dismissive. These stories come up all the time and they usually don't amount to a whole lot- like most research.

These little wooden shaker eggs went over quite well with my 18mo nephew:

He's also enjoying the Mega Bloks someone got him though he's mostly just sticking them together and throwing them.

That's why I don't know what to say.
