“In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else.”

Yeah, the charges of falsifying business documents are so rare in New York. NY has only brought charges 9,800 times since 2015.

Figures, point 1 was originally about the Judge’s daughter making a political contribution but it’s interesting how it got changed in this retelling.

It wasn’t prostitution though, that would have been standard. This guy tells Stormy that it’s a job interview like he’s Harvey Weinstein

Could spoof GPS anyways.

Probably just agreeing, but Why does art need a definitive way to experience, or for that matter, a “purpose”?

I do think that how we talk about art is also part of how we experience it.

I’m providing explicit examples of compilers doing “the stuff we want it to do”. LLMs do what the want 50% of the time and it still needs modifications afterwards. Imagine having to correct a compiler output and calling that compiler “useful”.

That use to be the case for programming jobs, but ever since the layoffs, those with a degree are at an advantage. I was laid off, but it only took me 6 weeks to land a new job thanks to my CS degree. My cohorts without a degree have been looking for 6 months…

That’s a distinction without a difference. The code is useful because we can reason how it was made and we can then make deterministic changes. Try using a compiler that gives you a qualitatively different result each time it runs even though the inputs are the same.

I think it’s cute when siblings dress to match.

technology develops exponentially, while humans are … static

I have yet to see a self-improving technology that does not require adaptive human intelligence as an input.

Compilers are deterministic and you can reason about how they came to their results, and because of that they are useful.

Are you familiar with Project 2025?

Parent was pointing to what you wrote because Nazis literally say “everyone one I don’t like is a Nazi” when people call them such. Seems like you’re trying to disarm people who are crying wolf. That doesn’t make you a wolf, just a tool.

Smart politics would say GOP bashing Biden is a good thing in this context. Adopting GOP talking points is what gave us our current immigration policy, and that is another liability in his campaign, though much smaller than giving arms to an active genocide.

The majority of Democrats recognize it as a genocide: https://www.commondreams.org/news/democratic-voters-israel-genocide

He is literally staking the least popular position with his voters.

Jokes on you, I’m not voting for the sense of smug superiority. No lives matter, etc. /S

I am both amazed this exists and that this didn’t happen sooner.

Big brain PDF tells the judge it is okay because the person in the picture is now an adult.

First day of job training is to keep the one machine running that keeps the place from exploding.

I was going to talk about how this could have been avoided with some popular reforms but you convinced me this little shit had it coming. In fact, we should speed up the process by hiring people with guns and send them into areas where people like these are likely to be. We can give these hired guns a license to kill anyone who makes them “afraid of their safety” and we’ll give them a uniform so you know you should respect their authority.
