I know we're largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.

But how do we save these guys?

$150m?

That doesn't make any sense. That would have been like $0.19/share.

He bought Twitter, priced at ~$41 in 10/2022. He's the last fucker I want to defend, and the SEC is effectively useless, but 19¢ per share?

It's 10pm so I'm probably not matching right, but this doesn't make any fucking sense.

Oh that's neat. That makes me feel a lot better. I mean I get that the systems were probably embedded and that everything was defined, but it's relieving to hear that a segmentation fault or dangling pointer would generally be avoided.

I didn't work on the FCC software, I wrote software to test the assembled FCC box, but the feeling was... Similar. I think it was a Moog product that went in an Embraer or the Chinese C919.

I had 150+ connectors, and they had to provide me values to send to every one of them, and then what to measure on every single output to make sure that there were no shorts, no opens, and no damage to a single component inside of it.

I had an interview to work on the platform of a weapon system, obviously would require clearance. I got the job. I went down to check out living possibilities, and while I was there, Saudis had bombed a bus full of kids. I figured out that I'd be working on and air to air missile, but the mere thought that I'd be attached to something delivering death sent me into a panick attack that forced me to decline the job. I now work on healthcare systems. It's a fuckload nicer knowing I'm making people's lives easier and and saving lives rather than risking them.

Any AI model is technically a black box. There isn't a "human readable" interpretation of the function.

The data going in, the training algorithm, the encode/decode, that's all available.

But the model is nonsensical.

No way can this be real.

They would have taken it offline incredibly fast given his ego

If y'all need more software/computer engineers with Quality German Humor, and whatever my ex qualifies as, (she don't got no skills or education IDK if that's a problem) I'll gladly come on over.

(We're a package deal because of my kid 😔)

Oh. Ok, Florida, see you guys are really taking the dystopia thing pretty damn seriously

I only have surface level knowledge, but only ~150 people were convicted. Out of probably like 100k arrests.

I'm fairly certain those willing to testify and identify the war criminals giving them orders were given some leniency, otherwise there was just simply too many.

He hasn't named names, just told the abuses, and hasn't himself called for prosecution of his superiors. We already knew these crimes were being committed. We now have a first had witness. But it's not enough. As far as I'm concerned, he admitted guilt, and until they start identifying exactly who made them commit war crimes ("his commander" needs a name) they are complicit.

I mean you don't have to go very far to prove that. As I look outside my window I see one.

Ok, I'm just an armchair conspiracy theorist, but it just dawned on me that is all possibly still part of Russia's take over the world plan.

If Russia wants to take Europe, he needs the US.

How would you get at least the dumbest citizens to turn against Europe? By making European goods prohibitively expensive, tanking the economy, and blaming it on Europe. Then, he'll continue to double down, and force us into a full wartime economy by re-activating the draft, and pulling Gen-zers and younger millennials into it. Saying the whole time "Canada and Europe left us no choice."

Would that work? It worked for Germany. Our economy isn't nearly shitty enough yet, but through this process he might be able to do it. If y'all think it's getting bad, it's gonna get even worse very quickly.
