From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary.

Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly
On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Does that include the numbers from XitterAI? Presumably for the IPO, it should… which would mean either Xitter is about 30% of their revenue or it’s been shrinking.

So sorry you had to deal with this, Jessica. Crazy stuff no one should have to deal with. You’re awesome, so you extra shouldn’t have to!
I’m sure the dementia is contributing, it does do that.

Cops understand that the process *is* punishment. So beating the rap is nice, but it fucks you up, though theoretically you’re not being punished unless and until you’re convicted.

Judge Quraishi says that if ICE keeps arresting people and detaining them without bond under the legal theory that has been rejected by hundreds of judges, and any of those cases come across his bench, he'll immediately order DHS and DOJ personnel hauled into court to explain themselves.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Does “maximally negatively activates” mean that the model then tells the user how to make sarin? So swish trained models more easily render toxic recipes?

More specifically this is their 3rd CEO.
It was their 1st CEO who told their 2nd CEO, “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

You think Bluesky got bought by friend of Israel and anti-genocide talk here got shutdown?
That’s interesting.

No, not everyone talking about genocide gets called antisemitic. Lots of people on Bluesky talk about genocide without being antisemitic or being called antisemitic.
I’ve already twice explained why your replies are antisemitic. I think I was pretty clear, so you’re not understanding is a choice.

I already read your 3 replies to Emily here.
I thought I was pretty clear, but again: opposing genocide doesn’t make anyone antisemitic. Responding to a discussion about Jews and antisemitism in America is antisemitic – you’re just randomly associating American Jews with Israeli government actions

Being against genocide isn’t antisemitic.
But responding to a post about Jews and antisemitism (in America) with questions about genocide is antisemitic.
Hope this helps.

How could there be such a consensus? Some chunk of the population is certain it’s durian.

Costco had them during the pandemic.
(They may have had them since, but I bought a bunch and no one else eats them so I’m not allowed to buy them anymore.)

Yeah, but if they just clip a pulse oximeter on the finger of someone with Raynaud’s Syndrome, they could easily get a disturbingly low number (though I wouldn’t think zero).
Similarly for someone with severe frostbite or hypothermia.
(I didn’t say anything about diagnosing Raynaud’s.)

It doesn’t sound bad… I think I’d prefer some dairy with more body than milk like ice cream, whipped cream, whipped ricotta, or cottage cheese.

I don’t know about this case, but Raynaud’s Syndrome can result in really low oxygen saturation in finger readings.

Once had an employee give retention bonuses to certain employees and then fail to tell several of the people receiving them about them. So the company set up bonuses to incentivize some employees to stay but didn’t tell them about it so they did not know they were being incentivized!
