Reflexively want to correct him on how to use adverbs, but in this case the way he used “badly” might be accurate.

Isn’t the first step just having some further left candidates run in the primaries?

It might matter from the perspective of who Trump pays attention to. There are a lot of celebrities that he feels like he needs to respond to, whether it’s Rosie O’Donnell, Taylor Swift, etc. He pays attention to them much more than he pays attention to international authoritative voices, and I expect that Han Solo recognizes this too.

I think both things can be true in this case. People can admit that accidental Nazi tattoos should be disquailifying in a sane world, but also recognize that we are not currently in a sane world and that a person that got accidental Nazi tattoos is making a lot of sense in the current circumstances.

It’s a weird feeling to be surprised by someone holding to a set of principles (surrounded by a party where any position can be compromised for cash/dear-leader/whatever’s happening with Fetterman) even when those principles are disgustingly abhorrent.

Maybe next year

Okay, devil’s advocate for a moment in assuming that this invoice is valid, how the fuck does giving EVs access to HOV lanes cost a damn thing?

Like they’re Americans in the same way that residents on Washington DC are Americans.

Many people don’t know this, but I also settled the horrific conflict between Zootopia and Californistan that left trillions dead, just in case there are peace prize nominations being thrown around.

Could start by at least listing Professorozone in the canceled subscriptions.

I also don’t subscribe, but have paid to watch the occasional Marvel movie. I’m happy to pass on whatever they’ve got lined up next if it gets them to take their role in fostering free speech more seriously.

If we got to rank choice vote, I would absolutely put Newsom in above every current potential republican candidate, but the list above his name would also be quite long.

But the US is being invaded by Venezuela…

This regime does the dumbest shit, but doesn’t seem to lack imagination to create fictional justification to throw whatever violent tantrums they think will hurt people they don’t like.

This is like that time when the supreme court had to hold deliberations on whether the local police in an active shooter situation could take the gun away from the shooter, and potentially violate the shooter’s second amendment rights. They didn’t rule on it right away, but issued a ruling that lower courts could not rule on the constitutionality of disarming the active shooter, and had to allow the shooter to continue shooting until the second amendment implications could be considered by the supreme court. Then they went into recess.

Edit: None of this happened

Risk Management. I have some very limited experience with using R, but not really any Python experience. There was a good set of tools (Excel add-ons) from ProbabilityManagement.org that gave a lot of flexibility in the models that you could build (e.g. not restricting a user to building financial risk models or schedule risk models like a lot of other risk management apps). I’m not really trying to complain about not being able to find this on Linux, and run an air-gapped Windows machine to hang on to this capability.

I also run silly things like modeling expected dollars needed to complete a Funko collection.

I recognize it may be a pretty niche issue, but i still haven’t found a Linux app that i can build Monte Carlo simulation models with, though I think some of the developers of these types of apps have made MacOS ports. The ones that I’ve historically used are Excel add-ons, but i haven’t found anything similar yet for Libre Office, or stand alone app.

Trump: And so then, four years later, I banned him from my resort.

And if i did, it was in my official capacity as president, so I’m allowed to do it.

I work in risk management, but don’t really have a strong understanding of LLM mechanics. “Confidence” is something that i quantify in my work, but it has different terms that are associated with it. In modeling outcomes, I may say that we have 60% confidence in achieving our budget objectives, while others would express the same result by saying our chances of achieving our budget objective are 60%. Again, I’m not sure if this is what the LLM is doing, but if it is producing a modeled prediction with a CDF of possible outcomes, then representing its result with 100% confindence means that the LLM didn’t model any other possible outcomes other than the answer it is providing, which does seem troubling.
