At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm just having a conversation with ChatGPT...

The humor of this exchange aside, all of this is probably wreaking havoc on grad admissions. I wonder what the Kalshi odds are for "Graduate schools bring back GREs before 2028?"
Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out
Recall that Binance co-founder CZ was pardoned by President Trump last October.
The problem with this βsacrifice for our freedomβ language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didnβt bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.
That's not what this article says, notably not even in the headline. It says an anonymous source said that the AI use was *likely*. The source has no personal knowledge and is noting that it is the "immediate theory". Let's keep this clear.
An application has been filed with the #CRTC to add WPBS-TV Watertown, NY, to the list of TV services eligible for distribution in Canada. The station is already carried on central/eastern Ontario cable systems through specific conditions of licence, but it wants to be able to add others.
WPBS says it's the only PBS station where a majority of members are Canadian. There's no specific demand to add it to other TV distributors, but they want to be on more cable systems in eastern Ontario and across Canada.
LMFAO SOMEONE MADE IT A REAL THING

This is a must-watch.
I can lean on my actual experience to yell at everyone that this won't work! You can't identify emerging customer needs by aggregating data from the past! We tried this already with personas and again with big data! This is like the stupid business version of the problem of induction.
Ah, the middle-aged transition experience
While there are a bunch of transphobic liberals I think a lot of them are less "we must exterminate the trannies" and more "if we allow/help the conservatives to exterminate these weirdos they will lose them as a weapon against us and we can get back to normal politics" and they're just as dangerous
NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made βlethalityβ a top priority.

Amin Nasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco, says continued disruption to global oil supply could be βcatastrophic.β
trump says everything is fine and the war will end soon.
One runs the largest oil company on Earth.
The other runs his mouth.
Who do you believe?
i am far less interested in why trump voters like rogan feel betrayed and far more interested in why they believed trump in the first place, given his previous presidency
U.S. military operations in the Caribbean have led to a reconfiguration of cocaine routes from Venezuela. Trafficking networks are now seeking new exits through Guyana and the Venezuelan Amazon. Discover more here: bit.ly/3PrwDc9
What are the challenges in securing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz? reut.rs/4ugTuHr
wait we haven't been going after their mine layers super hard???
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
Fun fact: at CENTCOM, the Iran-focused Jim Mattis developed a plan to open the Hormuz strait. It revolved around rapidly speeding a multinational force to the strait to *prevent* mine laying; and then minesweeping what Iran already laid.
Problem is: then the ships are in range of Iranian missiles.
I didn't think the end of the world as we knew it was gonna be this stupid.
Well, I dunno. The gun camera clips of strikes on small boats off the coast of Venezuela sure got a lot of air time.
mine clearance will get you a channel through the SOH, that needs to be reswept every day with a slow pass, constantly, including with aviation assets
mine hunting to discover and detonate as many mines as possible in the area is focused on a much smaller area and takes a much longer time
