if you actually think China would even entertain the idea of funding some of the scientific research conducted in the US over the past few decades, you have a fantasy view of what is going on outside the US. That political controversy wouldn't even arise because it's such a nonstarter that it could never even become a controversy.
Past being the key point. Because, right now it's all Dumpty all the time, until we boot his weak tools and fools November. I'm confident we are stronger than that two bit corrupt fraud, and will get back to where science funding is a priority. Hopefully our state of affairs is much more temporary than what China is subjected to. But there's absolutely no question whether the dunce parade in the US is anti science.
Of course the second amendment isn't allowed in his courtroom. It's literally not allowed in any courtroom in the country. It's a courtroom. The only people permitted to have guns in a courtroom in the US are the bailiffs and the judge. Was that a reading comprehension issue, or are you just trying to rile people up?
Sports Arenas and Jails are two other places you might be surprised to learn don't allow the second amendment.
Weird. I have seen a bunch of people repeating that quote, but not a single source for the full court transcript. Court transcript are public record, available for request by anyone. So it's real strange no one seems to have a source reference, no? Did you read the transcript? Happen to have a reference?
IMO, it depends on the events in court; if there was extensive argumentation about that and the judge is finally saying that it's been discussed to death and there's no point bringing it up, that seems fine. (I don't want to read the actual court transcripts to figure out what the attorney is referring to, so this comment is intentionally inconclusive.)
No, what the judge is saying is that just arguing that you're allowed to do whatever "gun things" you want because of the 2nd amendment in a state district court is specious. You can argue the merits of the specific case based on the precedent in that and other courts that have jurisdiction but simply standing up and arguing baldly that the 2nd amendment lets you make guns and sell them without a serial number doesn't carry water. To make that argument you'd first have to take the F out of ATF and roll back a lot of case law that exists at the federal level that does give states the right to enact some controls.
It's a gross oversimplification of what the judge was trying to say to imply that they don't care about the 2nd amendment or the constitution.
This has nothing to do with the federal laws that are enforced by ATF ... what he did was totally legally federally.
And he didn't sell them, you pulled that out of your ass.
It doesn't appear you have any familiarity with the case yet you purport to understand what the judge was saying by completely mischaracterizing the case with outright falsehoods. But I suppose if you just tell straight up lies confidently enough, someone will believe you!
> The only thing where I don’t trust it yet is when code must be copy pasted. I can’t trace if it actually cuts and pastes code, or if the LLM brain is in between. In the latter case there may be tiny errors that I’d never find, so I’m not doing that. But maybe I’m paranoid.
imo, this isn't paranoid at all, and it very likely filters through the LLM, unless you provide a tool/skill and explicit instructions. Even then you're rolling the dice, and the diff will have to be checked.
He didn't win a majority of the vote, just a plurality. And less than 2 of 3 eligible voters actually voted. So he got about 30% of the eligible population to vote for "yay grievance hate politics!" Which is way more than it should be, but a relatively small minority compared to the voter response after all ambiguity about the hate disappeared. This is why there's been a 20+ point swing in special election outcomes since Trump started implementing all the incompetent corrupt racist asshatery.
A 2025 study... Asking people if they "would have" voted for the winner of the election, a corrupt vindictive racist asshat already in power? Well, I guess that's one way to conduct a study. Fortunately the shift in sentiment is clear, growing, and reflected in special elections.
Your theory is that people who didn't care enough to vote are concerned that Donald Trump is going to come after them if they don't say they would have voted for him, when surveyed anonymously?
And then NPR was duped into credulously reporting on this polling?
I'm saying it doesn't take much for someone to say, "yeah, I would have voted for the guy already in power". I'm surprised it wasn't much higher than that.
So no, you definitely misrepresented my theory. It doesn't take a specific threat of violence for someone to say "sure, I would have cast a vote with the winner." And yet it was only ~1.5% higher than before the election. Are you saying you don't even recognize the bias of saying "yeah, I'm good with the winner"? Or the bias of a honeymoon period? I mean, June 2025 was before 90% of his craziest shit. But you go on.
Oh sorry, you made it sound like "corrupt" and "vindictive" were somehow relevant to the polling results.
The media seemed pretty surprised by the results, which indicates that your hypothesis is perhaps not accurate. But hey, keep doubling down, moving the goalposts, etc. I'll leave you to it.
Nah, just an observation. Or my hypothesis is accurate and they were just taking it at face value like you apparently did (assuming you are posting in good faith). The click bait appeal couldn't have hurt (although I agree with your expectation that they don't usually go for that). But dippy did pull their funding after all.
My goalposts never moved. Sorry you misinterpreted a few accurate adjectives.
I understand not restarting from a stop unprompted. There are simply too many situations on the road where automatically moving from a stop may be undesirable in case the driver isn't paying attention. Stop signs, four way stops, yield situations, probably more. Safer overall to make it an intentioned action by the driver.
I kind of get it but it reality sucks in bumper to bumper. But why cut off at 25mph? Like I can’t use it in a camera zone to maintain snail speed below the camera threshold
1000% agree recommendation algorithms should not be allowed. Sorting and user criteria, great. But nothing should be pushed without clear acknowledgement of the user. Anything software recommends should be specified by the user.
Humans are (as of now) still pretty darn clever. This is a pretty cheeky way to test your defenses and surface issues before you're 2 years in and find a critical security vulnerability in your agent.
It looks like the point is Home Assistant integration. I seriously doubt they need an led to be blinked on and off based on a mock sensor. That's either "for the integration test" or "as a placeholder for something more". Either way, the is failing.
The failure mode is getting lumped into AI because AI is a lot more likely to fail.
We've done this with Neural Networks v1, Expert Systems, Neural Networks v2, SVM, etc, etc. only a matter of time before we figured it out with deep neural networks. Clearly getting closer with every cycle, but no telling how many cycles we have left because there is no sound theoretical framework.
At the same time, we have spent a large part of the existence of civilisation figuring out organisational structures and methods to create resilient processes using unreliable humans, and it turns out a lot of those methods also work on agents. People just often seem miffed that they have to apply them on computers too.
