You're not the only one.

I feel like the big experiment in this election is Platner in Maine. If Platner can win in Maine, it shows that progressive candidates can work in rural parts of the country.

How is he doing that with his mouth?

Yeah. It is the same reason why Russia sold Alaska. It was better to sell to Americans than have it get conquered by the British.

Right now, the state of the art appears to be that LLM's are far more expensive to run than humans for many tasks. So, yeah, it is a lie.

There are uses for specialty AI that seem to work well, but they are usually bespoke for a certain task.

I expect that, if AI is used in 2027, it is going to be used with a lot more intent in targeted uses. I also expect some companies are going to realize it is better to fully control their own AI on their own hardware than to use a more state of the art AI which will use all their data as training data.

There are even ones that were popular back then which fell into a memory hole, like the 90's Brady Bunch reimagining.

It sucked more for the American Indians. The Louisiana Territory was sparsely populated by Europeans and African slaves when it was sold. Most slaves in the area during emancipation were brought by Americans.

It is interesting how Mamdani has much longer coattails than AOC and that he is participating in primaries almost immediately.

It is a great strategy and I hope it pays off, but it feels like Mamdani is moving the needle a lot more.

I've listened to Sarah Taber talk about running for a North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture and said she was able to get more Republican votes from rural areas than the suburbs.

See Microsoft and Adobe.

Except Microsoft and Adobe never bankrupted a company by getting adopted. It was a tax that companies could afford since they were still rounding errors compared to labor.

If the adoption of a tech can be measured as being roughly equal to higher than the labor expense of a company, that decision isn't going to be dictated by what Susan in HR knows.

It is hard to not have a laugh track in front of a live studio audience.

The only problem that I have is that a lot of the less crowded places typically close on Monday. You have to plan to hit those during the weekend.

I feel like, to add on it, letter combinations also yield wildly different sounds in different languages. For instance, "ll" in English sounds like an "l" while in Spanish it sounds like a "y".

They are probably only sending the bare minimum to make Trump happy. They don't want to sell American made cars and trucks in Japan, so they are doing it badly.

I prefer Saturday-Tuesday because I like to travel and it helps to have a short working week after the trip.

They were always stupid. They are just more able to write out their stupidity.

I like this video from a London historian who goes through what common people knew before compulsory education.

I'm not surprised. Even if Platner is a risk and ends up like Fetterman, he isn't going to be worse than Collins.

Yeah, the wenis is a dance!

It isn't considered to be in the public interest to make medical confidentiality the equivalent of legal confidentiality.

Actually, it depends on the state/city. There is no federal sales tax; all sales taxes are determined at the state and municipal level and are only charged at the final point of sale. Some states or cities allow for limited versions of what you're talking about; Washington State rebates sales taxes for Oregon residents.

However, why isn't this typical across all states? It turns out that taxes tourists is generally more popular than taxing residents. This is especially true if the tax is enacted by referendum. For instance, a lot of stadiums are publicly funded via hotel room and rental car taxes.
