All this meta-discourse is a huge embarrassment. What is y
our plan to win Ohio? How do we get Trump voters to vote for a Democrat for senate? No meta discourse allowed unless it's a direct result of arguing about those questions. No skipping.

No? They didn't write "we don't know why", they wrote that the Supreme Court isn't saying why. Which is true and important. Certainly doesn't make the Supreme Court look good, doesn't excuse Trump, and doesn't make anything into a riddle. No idea what you all are upset about here.

My personal opinion not to be repeated in front of non-locals is that there is a good reason half the line leaves when they announce they're out of chicken. But my impression is that Stephenson's also uses commercial charcoal, and they are my favorite bbq in this post allen-and-son era, so . . .

Traditional NC bbq is cooked over fresh charcoal, not the original wood itself. Using premade charcoal is not as cool but not invalid.

I am strongly in favor of this, but whenever I bring it up in person or online, it unites the left and the right and the informed and the ignorant in extreme opposition.

And this is a very hard question that no scholar has really answered. It's a test of deep research's ability to find the right evidence and not make stuff up.

Not trying to do a "AI is bad" gotcha btw, just not convinced by any deep research yet.

My test prompt is "How did Anton Reicha's compositional style change over time? Answer using the latest research and by referring to specific pieces." Gemini was wrong before even starting to research, though! Hallucinated facts and jumped to wrong answer about early Romanticism in its research plan

I sincerely don't understand why they would use such an absurd phrase. Has anyone ever called Hegseth a "star", even when he was only a tv guy?

Hmm, I swear I read this explanation many years ago? Or maybe this is just a much more rigorous/convincing demonstration, especially with the "nth"?

This headline in particular is better than most NYT headlines, does not have all the stultifying "headline words".

Had no idea, thanks

Interesting. I would have taken "God loves everyone" as an obvious pro-lgbtq message without this context.

What? How in the world do you get that? Is he a known anti-lgbtq guy?

So, Kershaw is good? What is going on on in this thread? I am not smart enough to keep up with who we are mad at.

Why is it ironic?

It makes perfect sense now, and it is very hard to summarize in one line in a graphic. Maybe "thrown the last 771 of her teams' pitches in world series games" woulda helped me.

What does that mean? Or is it a bungled graphic?

The other thing I like, classical music, is oddly (or coincidentally) the same: a performance by a top young string quartet is genuinely athletic. It's difficult to believe how energetically, virtuosically, even violently they play.

Tennis is exactly the same! There have been moments--Djokovic/Medvedev US Open final a couple years ago for example--where it reached a point of absurdity. Single games more physically demanding than whole matches 20 years ago.

"Blowing through limits" is awful writing. Why do they write like this?

I think 1 has been happening, intentionally, for the latest generation of models. That's my understanding anyway, not like they are telling us.

I often find that the sources do not say what the AI says they say, or even worse, the AI will subtly but confidently misinterpret them.

* Consider the stakes of the specific elections being contested

* Consider the characteristics of those who can vote in the specific elections being contested

Popularism should stop there!

Is that not a small sign that this is an effective line of attack? The only thing people like about Trump is his immigration stance, and Dems have attacked it so well that even when the news is dominated by immigration, his approval rating is stuck in the negative.

But isn't Dem strategy on immigration to raise the the salience of the least popular aspects of Trump's immigration policy? Rogan wouldn't be talking about this if not for that strategy. Or what are you referring to when you say "Dem strategy"?

It's the "run unchecked" that is so awkward in this context and so typical of NYT. It's hard to express exactly why it's inappropriate, grating, and unclear, but it is definitely those things.

My favorite subject! Eberl, Mehul, Reicha are the most interesting to me. I have a list of roughly 50 composers fitting loose definition of contemporary for whom there is at least 1 recording. But the symphony was in decline until after the Napoleonic wars, so list is not nearly as rich as the Haydn

A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price. The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

North Carolina Republicans interfered with the funding of organizations that support human trafficking victims. How do we get this scandal in front of low-information voters?

That the Confederate armies pretty much always had ammunition and food was a miraculous result of brilliant administration, was in no way guaranteed. McPherson pushes back very hard on the idea that the outcome of the war was determined by logistics and administration for this reason.
