To completely write off LLMs as having no practical uses is myopic at best, asinine at worst.

However, the capitalistic notion of selling it as some sort of panacea is absolutely wrong too.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Read the Resignation Letter From Hagan Scotten Hagan Scotten, an assistant U.S. attorney, wrote to Emil Bove, acting deputy attorney general, refusing to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams.

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”

Embarrassing.

The car brain unwillingness by the federal executive to tell off the toxic disrespect of anyone and everyone outside cars. It's an emergency, it's not a VisionZero PowerPoint presentation.

The crisis that stems from drivers gunning around people within crosswalks (zebra crossings etc).

Murdering people in cold blood is not a solution to anything. The fact that this happened at all and people are actively cheering means our society is failing, because of the conditions that makes someone do this while a large portion of the public thinks it was justified.

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.

Trump isn't even in office yet & we're already talking about letting him bypass the Constitution as though that's a normal conversation to be having.

now, blanket tariffs (as Trump campaigned) should absolutely not be used as negotiating leverage nor nurture a non-existent industry (at least at the scale necessary), such as low-cost, low-skill MFG

we need to focus on high-skill MFG, the rest can be fanned to developing countries and whatnot

of course Biden sustained tariffs for the BEV industry, Tesla et al have been far surpassed by Chinese manufacturers and would otherwise be eaten alive. ideally, tariffs should be primarily used as a tool to nurture domestic industry.

for sake of argument, w/in the context of tariffs on China, how do you expect we can match the low cost of their labor force, particularly concerning low-skill MFG, and in tandem with mass deportation?

that’s ridiculous, tariffs as a bargaining tool would be an undue risk on the American people.

it creates unnecessary economic uncertainty, at worst, and positions the US as diplomatically weak, at best (if merely threatened)

who took this? <3
