I’m even older than you, Tom. And I agree.

I’ve been there. Painfully embarrassing memories.

Atonement

I could never totally eradicate my south side Chicago accent - and took years of ribbing from my less working class college friends and work colleagues. It especially reappears after a few beers.

I mainly drink wine nowadays

Are you going to vote for Paxton in the runoff?

😂‼️. I’ll remember that.

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Perfect

Ayatollah so

Yup.

This is what the elite wanted.

To me - this is more like an LLM - in a different furniture case

Medical experts say that if you contract pneumonia you should visit a doctor. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says you should just bathe in raw sewage instead. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Tesla stock surges on news that Tesla has now fallen seven years behind Waymo in its quest for truly autonomous driving.

Fortune telling?

So glad I saved this picture. People truly don't understand the burden of democracy.

… my software friends say that it’s a good tool for debugging. Not my expertise so I don’t know

I think people have overpromised the performance and it hasn’t been tested against *all* possible prompts for accuracy. Impossible to QA - no way for me to report errors I’ve seen so how does it learn?

FWIW - I’ve found Claude to be basically worthless for things I know about (electronics and piano playing)

It was fun for vacation planning in England last year - pointed us to things we didn’t know about with the caveat that you need to double check *everything* for errors (like closed restaurants

It’s basically this - updated with more tech bells and whistles

Chief Justice Roberts’s Vendetta Against the Voting Rights Act He’s been railing against it since the early 1980s.

This weekend marks 61 years since the Selma civil rights march that was key to passing the Voting Rights Act, which protected against racial discrimination at the polls for decades. But then came the Roberts Court. bit.ly/4uduYXR

🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”

And I'm sorry, but "Biden's unpopularity" was a media created fantasy meant to help ensure that a Republican would renew the expiring tax cuts as a punishment for him ending their gravy train in Afghanistan.

And his "dementia" was you being outfitted by a woman who sends taint selfies to RFK Jr.

Actually I’ve been sporadically taking history and political philosophy continuing ed classes - but not with the focus I had as a student 50+ years ago. I wish I had that enthusiasm

I’d like to consider myself as a utilitarian but I don’t think I have enough discipline.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Jared Moskowitz criticizing FEMA under Secretary Kristi Noem, listing issues including the largest FEMA backlog in history, Florida being owed $2.5 billion, delayed disaster declarations, and search-and-rescue teams waiting 72 hours during Texas floods. Below is a video still of Moskowitz speaking during a congressional hearing.

Noem was a disaster at every level, from start to termination.

You guys are making me want to go back to school. (I’m an old ignorant retired guy interested in how John Locke was influenced by the English civil wars).
