In what way? Only a lefty would compare borrowing someone else's phone to borrowing someone else's voter ID.

In high-frequency trading, milliseconds is a long time. How many milliseconds? 500? 20? 1?
You have a split decision - perform certain trades if Trump says Iran good, certain other trades if Trump says Iran bad.
There's definitely an edge for traders who can beat the competition to a trade by a few milliseconds. If humans are in the loop trying to infer good or bad from the post, that won't work really. The fully-automated, algorithmic trading systems will need to pull data directly from the source. Getting this information over the public internet will not be good enough, they'll want a direct physical link to whatever system sends notifications.
There's no guarantee that the competition hasn't got some other kind of edge either, ie a few milliseconds ahead of you for a secret payment under the rug.
But that would be unethical!

I feel that my success is close at hand. Please give me money so I can privately work on making my dream robot girlfriend without having to report progress daily to a business emperor.

In this case the door is made of solid gold, and engraved in bold script upon its gleaming surface is the message "Do not disturb until AGI arrives".
The deckchairs are the white plastic kind, and those go to everyone that isn't working on AI stuff.

"Trump carried Kansas by 16 percentage points in 2024"
Fool me twice..

I ordered my last phone, moving the number to a new carrier, on my . . . desktop computer. If your phone is your only internet access, you have problems that aren't T-Mobile's fault.

As for cloning, I literally could not boot up the phone without being offered a fully automated process to bring everything over from the old phone. It just worked.

Brick & mortar store fronts aren't really needed for 99% of their business. The other 1%, of course, you need some poor drone standing in front of you to glare at so they will call someone you're not allowed to talk to who can actually do stuff. But apparently, T-Mobile doesn't care about that 1%.

And there are very, very few people who cannot get access to another phone.

Of course, then you're calling from a different number than the one registered to the account, which, at the least, will make it more cumbersome to prove who you are.

In some states, the Public Utilities Commission will nail them to a cross for that. Not because they care about consumers, but because they get off on screwing over telecoms.

Had a cell phone waaay back with AT&T Wireless (which was a completely different company than the one that uses the name now). They moved their payment processing center from Los Angeles to Arizona, and didn't update the computer than printed the statements to have the new mailing address on the payment stub (yeah, that long ago). Six months later, the forwarding address expired, and I got a payment back as undeliverable, and they suspended the account for non-payment.

When the California PUC got done with them, I got three months of free service, which was just enough time to get off my ass and move the phone number to another carrier.

I'm not your guy and I only have fun.

There's no nuance here. The only nuance is if you want to say one is worth than the other, but you don't need nuance for that (Trump is clearly worse).

When it comes to insider trading sort of things, both of them are shit, along with a whole lot of other politicians, and I say that as a San Francisco voter. If insider trading were the worse that Trump had ever done, I would have a much higher opinion of him.

No, you are confused. "You are an asshole." <- that is a misrepresentation of you.

Saying "expert mathematicians are working the prompt" isn't a misrepresentation, it is how things are.

You are so hypersensitive to criticism against LLMs, that you see criticism where it is not. Why is that?

Or they'd make private cloud devices and not be in the position of handling the data or the encryption. Maybe they could offer an offsite backup service of encrypted data, but it would be just that: encrypted files that only the user has access to.

I still don't understand why we are relying on datacenters and services for storage, it just invites government overreach.

Yes it's very interesting how quickly we have learned that the Constitution is simply a piece a paper with no inherent power, except as people honor it. Once that honor is gone, the constitution is gone. Congress and the courts also have no real power, except that which is granted voluntarily. Courts can rule until they are blue in the face but when a president just says, "so what" everything is lost. We all got extremely complacent, thinking that all people, especially presidents, ultimately uphold the constitution as we do individually. Despite generations of talking about freedom, it's astounding how quickly so many just don't care about it actually, and are happy to have a king.

I agree with John V. Last: It's worth fighting for, even if I'm not hopeful about winning. At least you can tell you kids you stood up for the constitution and freedom, even though you lost. The next 10 years will be very interesting.

That just encourages everyone to conspire together to use more, and anybody not on board is in trouble for not using enough.

Is the person who ignored Pelosi in the room with you right now?
