Last week Trump called a female reporter a “piggy” on Air Force One.

Today he’s attacking Katie Rogers of the New York Times

He called her “ugly both inside and out”

His misogyny knows no bounds

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Trump’s immigration detention camps exist to drive profits for the prison companies giving him money.

The more profit they make, the more money they’ll give him, and the more people he’ll find to fill up those prisons — it’s not about crime and it won’t stop with immigrants.

For advanced questions, I think you've got to go with the paid models. They're so much better.

Granted, the search-user-facing one leaves a lot to be desired. Gemini is amazing at probabilistic programming, tough. GPT5.1, too.

What is legacy (=I can buy it for less than $100 on eBay) GPU with good performance of integer operations ?

This point is often missed: a high dimensional embedding makes for a good information retrieval system at scale and this would be a perfectly legit and uncontroversial use of the infrastructure of the LLMs

Yes, but treatment effect heterogeneity determines how well we can learn an average effect (so it seems worthy of thinking of and perhaps modeling).

What models are you using? Gemini is extremely good at advanced statistics (let alone simpler things).

So depraved that China supports the Russian genocide of Ukraine.

Six American Heroes! Who agrees? 👋🏾

Holy shit.

I know there is lot going on but Witkoff got rolled by the Russians again. A bunch of R Senators said hold up today (including Graham) and Rubio just threw the clown car in reverse. Total shit show.

Two billion kids would REALLY appreciate it if we did more about this than just make a few non-binding promises every year & then instantly forget about them.

Donald Rubin 'really enjoyed' meeting Jeffrey Epstein in 2017.

Evergreen.

to keep functioning, a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

The United States can unperson anyone, anywhere, at any time. Even a French ICC judge, for doing his job - identifying and prosecuting war crimes. And European governments won’t lift a finger to protect their own.

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

AARRGH. CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT MEDICINE, IT’S DANGEROUS BULLSHIT CREATED BY A FUCKING GROCER WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HEAL WITH MAGNETS. WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA

The President has put tariffs on the whole economy in an effort to revive manufacturing.

It's not working.

Here's what worries the Fed (and me!): The unemployment rate is slowly drifting up. This is a clear sign of an unhealthy economy. And it's happening slowly enough that it hasn't attracted many headlines. But it really matters.

Ah, it's cool you'll be able to answer so many more nuanced questions.

Grok is brilliant everybody! 😂

What AI bubble? Practically everyone depends on it.

For those rooting for 600%, we made it!

As of November 18, Santa Barbara has seen 622% of normal rainfall to date. This is the most November rain in Santa Barbara in over 127 years.

Speech by Governor Waller on the economic outlook Thank you to the Society for the honor of addressing your annual meeting. 1 In doing a little research on the SPE's history, I noted that one goal cited b

Waller’s right.
Inflation (ex-tariffs) is near target; expectations anchored. Job creation has stalled, revisions show the weakness. Vacancies, quits, hiring—down. Most households are stressed. Staying restrictive now would hit workers least able to absorb it. A December cut is the responsible move.

MEISELAS: “If the Epstein files had all this evidence that showed Trump was completely innocent guy, but that it actually incriminated all of these Democrats, Donald Trump would be the first person to say, "Let's release those Epstein files."

It’s really this simple.

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).
