This is no longer a legitimate court. They twist the constitution however they want it. Precedence be damned. That they call this "originalism" is but a sick joke and icing on the cake of corruption.

Please explain to me why you think that Reuters, a news agency, is liberal.

Way back in the seventies in his book "The Futurological Congress" if I am not mistaken.

Kinda like a national socialist.

... to mimic communism in the most stupid way possible.

Really difficult for me to rationalize why else you would want to make yourself the puppet of an AI.

Honestly, it was the tone of the message, which is admittedly difficult to derive from a forum. IMHO, the proper response would have been one that questioned whether the 'upscale grocer' selling spareribs at $6.99/lb vs $1.49/lb were at different ends of the subjective or objective quality spectrum. In my case, they are literally the same brand: Smithfield. The only difference is that Aldi is $5+/lb less expensive.

That said, IMO, unless we're talking about a butcher that sources heritage-breed Berkshire (or the like) pork from a local farmer, I don't really give a flying fuck where the previously cheap cut of meat I'm going to put on my smoker for 6h is sourced from.

Why would I pay $6.99/lb at one of the 'upscale grocers' in town for spareribs when I can get them at Aldi for $1.49? I, too, drive a Mercedes, but it doesn't mean I'm a fucking moron w/my money.

These kind of predictions won't age well.

BTW mainframes are still around.

"... the apparent reasoning prowess of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) is largely a brittle mirage. The findings across task, length, and format generalization experiments converge on a conclusion: CoT is not a mechanism for genuine logical inference but rather a sophisticated form of structured pattern matching."

The latter should really not surprise anyone with a passing understanding of the LLM transformer model. They were never designed for reasoning tasks but for machine translation. But an entire industry has now sprung up trying to shoehorn them into arbitrary business cases, no matter what level of real reasoning, expertise, common sense and judgement is required. I am quite confident in predicting that Sam Altman's quote that "GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert," will live in infamy.

The average employee lasts well less than a year at a fast casual; this had little to do w/her background.

I am absolutely certain many of those kids are great at writing code; what I have found in the last ~3y of hiring candidates out of undergrad and/or masters programs is that they DO NOT interview well.

They can answer esoteric technical questions about software dev (I *assume* this is because they study for coding interview questions) but they cannot possibly answer more general questions about themselves, how they would operate in a real-world business setting, and/or how they might build something from soup to nuts.

I'm not asking them to give me real-world experience; but, I expect a college graduate to be able to think about questions asked critically and provide a coherent and thoughtful reply to that question. Even if it's technically 'wrong', the conversational nature is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT for any work I have done in my 25+ year career.

Anyone can have AI solve most esoteric technical coding problems now; interfacing ability w/others on the dev teams and the rest of the business is what is important in getting shit done.

Colleges need to start investing HEAVILY in leveling up their students in how to interview well.

"Ms. Mishra, the Purdue graduate, did not get the burrito-making gig at Chipotle."

I think this single sentence says more about it than anything else in the article.

For crying out loud, don't fall for Trump's BS.

Other countries don't pay the tariffs. Americans do. It's a surcharge that the importer i.e. Americans have to pay.

Foreign countries just don't like tariffs because they make their products less competitive. But in essence a tariff is nothing but a tax on foreign goods. And as with all taxes you have to pay them.

The founders incidentally were quite clear on this. Hence they reserved this power for Congress and did not vest it in the presidency.

Heat is Brownian motion. The news here is that this was accomplished with laser cooling rather than cryogenically.

To quote from the abstract:

Here we use coherent scattering into a Fabry-Perot cavity to cool the megahertz-frequency librational mode of an optically levitated silica nanoparticle from room temperature to its quantum ground state.

This kind of cooling is much less energy intensive and opens up these kind of systems for further experiments and compact technological integration (hence the reference to sensors).
