I live in a port city crawling with rats and mice. They are so many that it's common to see freshly dead rodents on the bike trail after they were hit by e bikes.

What's crazy is how quickly they get scavenged by crows and squirrels. They dissappear almost immediately.

These people argue that all sacrifices are worth the goal of spreading global freedom even when they turn democracies into dictatorships. These people can never admit they were wrong about anything. Even now when the communist nations are beginning to overtake the west, these fools argue that China is a capitalist nation. They live in a fantasy world.

Their plan was to reduce us casualties to generate an illusion that the us was winning the war. So they cut a deal with the Taliban: the us would no longer support Afgani government soldiers with air support and in exchange the taliban would not attack us bases. This led to Afghanistan government soldiers quitting and the government collapsing.

It's strange how Rubin glosses over the CIA's training and arming of the very extremist groups which conducted 911. I don't see how anyone can try to argue that arming and training such groups was worth it.

I don't know if he's serious about regime change in iran. He seems to negotiate from a raft of threats and lies. Hopefully it's all for show but if the war does go down my guess for approval ratings is over 60%. Not quite Bush I or ii numbers due to decline in news consumption.

It was perceived that he was losing the war and lying to the public about the successes that they claimed to have achieved.

But winning wars, even unjust ones, always gets the president brownie points in the eyes of the public and corporations

This might sound insane but every single wartime president has gotten a huge boost to their approval ratings due to media networks circulating pure propaganda nonstop. Even NPR will start doing positive coverage.

I know what you mean. All the code generated with ai was loaded with problems. Specifically it kept forcing my api keys into the code without using environmental variables. But for basic coding concepts it has so far been perfect. even a 3b model seemingly generates great definitions

Snippets are a great use.

I use StableCode on my phone as a programming tutor for learning Python. It is outstanding in both speed and in accuracy for this task. I have it generate definitions which I copy and paste into Anki the flashcard app. Whenever I'm on a bus or airplane I just start studying. Wish that it could also quiz me interactively.

It's pretty dumb as a deterrent because a single miscalculation and it would set off a chain reaction that ends human civilization.

Think of it this way: because nuclear missiles are not immediately traceable to their country of origin, each nuclear-armed country will immediately launch at their perceived enemies without validating who attacked them. All it takes is one launch. This might deter a sane person but we are led by narcissists and these are not rational people.

It's a huge disaster in the making. There's probably a game theory model that explains what's happening but damned if i know it. AI is a trap.

At the beginning of LLMs as a consumer tech phase, the big tech companies believed that they would soon generate synthetic data without human labor costs. But synthetic data caused model collapse when used as training data. So they still need humans.

But now their competitors are using scrapers and summarizers and those are expensive so they have to extract more value from search traffic and that means fewer referrals to sites. Fewer referrals to sites reduces original content and leadabto less traffic and training data for their models.

The only two ways out are to create an international regulatory body ornto break up facebook, microspft, and google.

You can see the cop aims low. His intent was to harass and drive away. A real chud.

There have been cases of reporters getting hit with plastic or less-lethal rounds in the head... With a helmet on... And being brain damaged for life.

The reporter must be made of steel because she laughs it off but those rounds can blind or break bones.
