Ugh, I have to say again: budget negotiations can start with the Executive and Judicial budgets zeroed out. And Congress can say that negotiations will only start once the administration "stops doing illegal and unconstitutional shit." And, budgets only fund for 90 days at a time for compliance.

Given the frequency that the NY Times has fallen for this, at some point you have to conclude that it is intentional on their part. It becomes an inescapable conclusion.

Hastert's problem was that he was too far ahead of the curve in the Republican party.

Credulous-suckerism is a choice. Being fed misinformation isn't their responsibility but uncritically and lazily accepting that information is their responsibility. They should own it.

It would be nice for this to be astonishing but, instead, it's entirely predictable. These people are always broadcasting exactly who they are. Even from the first time I visited, it was clear that the Arts Education and Access Tax made Portland awesome.

I'm getting a tsunami of texts from Angie Nixon's campaign and I've been blowing them off and getting kind of annoyed by them But, you know what? I'm going to give her some money now. You should do the same. Great job, J.D.

But...they also know that and are planning on using the process to intentionally skim passports off for nefarious purposes with the argument that they were stolen. And then will scream for investigations. We've done this enough times in the last two years that we know this is true, right?

Any behavior an LLM manifests is in the training material. It's that simple. There's no "pivot" into some higher level state. If you don't want a behavior, don't feed it content that presents that behavior as the most common one in a context.

I'm apparently the only guy who remembers that during his first campaign, Trump closed by saying "Vote for me and all your dreams will come true."

Anyone who knows the history of technology knows that most - if not all - frontier businesses with an emerging technology (textiles, railroads, etc.) go bust. Everyone is trying to ride the wave / secure a monopoly and they over-invest. Apple seems to be the smart one in regards to AI.

People ask what Democrats can do if they take Congress. Zeroing the Executive and Judicial budgets to begin negotiations would be a start In the House. No budget unless Trump stops doing “illegal and unconstitutional shit.” And at a mid-50s Senate, removal is possible.

They can start budget negotiations with zeroed-out Executive and Judicial allocations. They can use illegal and unconstitutional spending as liabilities on the budget ledger. But they won't even use the power they have. Dem Senators are still - STILL - periodically voting for Trump nominees.

I always assumed it was a private equity-like play: crush the business, cut the costs. News has always been a loss leader for broadcasters. The propaganda aspect was just a very, very convenient by-product that they were happy to have for ideological reasons.

A compiler but less deterministic. It unfortunately inserts a level of uncertainty that traditional compilers don't. And that uncertainty comes from both the imprecision of language and the variability of the training data.

Additionally, it's politically stupid. Have Democrats learned nothing from the Republican feints of the past that have lost more voters than gained? Reaching out to questionable constituencies raises the question of whether you can be trusted as a representative.

So weird that I keep getting Senate fundraising spam "from" Gillibrand and someone thinks that it's a strong pitch. If you want to guarantee that I'm not going to donate, make the pitch from Gillibrand!

Can we please stop this? Fetterman has agency. He can recall the commitments he made to his supporters and honor those commitments or he can resign. Those are decent-person options. Letting him off the hook for his stroke is the same as letting Trump off the hook because "he's just that way."

I mean, another option is to always hold the green for the full pedestrian duration. The button is in deference to vehicle traffic so that traffic isn't delayed when there's no pedestrian. Morons never know how good they have it.

I gotta say, as someone who remembers REAGAN administration officials saying this, it's Deja Voodoo all over again. Also old enough to remember when Clinton balanced the budget in 1999. I wonder what happened to that....
