this video is so funny, imagine being grilled by a US Senator who is oddly convinced that you went to an Atlanta Hawks game when you have never been to an Atlanta Hawks game

sir do you deny that you witnessed Trae Young's 10-assist, 8-turnover performance? is it your testimony that you have never witnessed Clint Capela going 1-for-4 from the foul line? might i remind you that you are UNDER OATH

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

He has little-to-no support from his own party, the military, the legal system, or even his own administration to attempt anything this insane. He has no power over how states run their elections - even this SCOTUS said so. There is no red "cancel the election" button for him to press.

The concept of being a state A.G. and writing a brief that tosses aside a U.S. Supreme Court order that had no dissents like this in favor of talking about how a three-judge Eighth Circuit panel acted "unanimously" — a court below the U.S. Supreme Court — in a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Here’s the thing, pretty much everything in the news feels so far past fever dream that if you read this and go, “is she suggesting aliens came to disarm the nuke?” The answer is yes! If you go, “is she suggesting it’s a correlation warning?” Yes! If you ask does she believe none of this?” Also yes!

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

The king himself rode a horse and shot arrows at a deer. However, the horse stumbled, causing him to fall off, but he was not injured. Looking around, he said, "Do not let the historians know about this."

Here’s the fundamental problem: 1. The rules of professional conduct (legal ethics rules) require an attorney to check and verify all legal research results output from AI 2. It takes longer to verify AI research than human research 3. Like, a LOT longer 4. And it’s getting worse not better

It can't alter the practice of any of the other example fields for much the same reasons too. And if it does significantly augment a capability, it's never a rate-limiting or blocking step where removal of the step would significantly change the nature of the work.
