Dems love nothing more than finding the most lawyerly position that minimizes Republicans' ability to use the position against them. Thus "we have a bipartisan resolution opposing war without deliberation" rather than "Republicans want to start an illegal war & we oppose it"

i'm just sick of AdamW or "i found a new way to strap yet another EMA to AdamW" outperforming putting googley eyes on the optimizer and having it elegantly pirouette in the direction of the downslope.

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.

wait you're on medium-risk interventions for Your Robot Boy, right? is that, like, reinforcement learning side or, like, optimizer side or what?

I thought the Reverend was being a bit hyperbolic until I read the latest reporting.

also note that it scrolls down like 10% more.

for those of you who don't understand: think about what my worst thread about machine learning did to you. this is what seeing this configuration panel did to me.

this manages to legitimately be way worse than all the leaks that were being fed to the papers last night

The thing to understand is that the people in charge of the party are snivelling cowards raised on horror stories of the 1972 and 1984 Republican landslides.

β€œWhat’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

There’s just no choice anymore. There should be zero Republican House reps from blue states. None.

it is very, very important that the kind of institutionalists who would stand in the way of this absolutely get their shit rocked in the next two primary cycles

pretty sure the reason the anti war movement is defined by campists is exactly because of the point being made by @utopia-defer.red and not an inherent semantic quality of the term anti-war.
