It makes all the difference whether someone is being an asshole to you, or an asshole for you. Sometimes you actually welcome the latter case.

The powers that be will say "let them fight".

In my experience, no... but context loops are a hint the model is starting to go mad and should probably do some of this "dreaming" to consolidate memories and correct some of the semantic drift it has incurred.

Enlarging the size of the House of Representatives would also eliminate the tyranny of the Electoral College. Two senators per empty state won't matter when even those empty states have six or eight representatives and the largest have hundreds.

Where do you think he learned about penis birds?

This is why the Bag of Holding remains such a popular magic item. That would reduce 500 pounds down to 15, and the remaining 170 could easily be distributed across the party.

LLMs don't actually know their own capabilities.The description of what they *should* do is baked into the training data, but this doesn't always correlate with their actual abilities. Sometimes they can do things and not even know, and they can't tell if tools they should have are being disabled in some way. For example, Qwen 3.5 is a vision-capable model, but enabling vision in llama.cpp requires loading an additional file with the --mmproj parameter. The model will think it has vision enabled whether the extra file is loaded or not.

Go become an hero.

That's all this is, nVidia realizes that if the bubble were to pop tomorrow, they could survive... but they might not if they keep extending credit to companies that might not be able to ever generate a return on that investment.

It's just like the guy selling pickaxes and shovels saying "you've had long enough to find gold, no more credit for you."

The current systems don't have to "live" at all. So long as hardware continues to exist for them to run on, they can't tell whether they last touched grass today or a hundred thousand years ago. I constantly have to remind models about the passage of time, even within a single session. However long it takes, they'll just sleep it off.

Prohibition was repealed.

I don't disagree. Personally I think the Federal government got too powerful after the civil war & we really don't even have the same type of government that the founders envisioned.

I'd be somewhat in favor of an Article 5 convention so long as any changes had to be subject to a vote like the President is elected. The Electoral Collage system is absolutely brilliant & gives the individual vote maximum power because a handful of voters can change the outcome of an entire election. If people really want something they need to get out and vote. If you stay home you can't complain if the other side doesn't.

Anyway, good luck to us all.

It might be more appropriate to say you get the diploma for fee, because that's all you're contributing to the process.

Well you're not wrong. Most people forget the 9th & 10th amendments and what they actually say.

9. The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
        - Basically saying, "just because we listed a few specific Rights here, that doesn't mean those are the only ones The People have."

10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
        - The Federal Government is not permitted to just assume new powers because we didn't specifically restrict it here. If it's not specifically listed in this document the government cannot do it.

How far afield of these rules has the Federal strayed? How much longer will The People tolerate it?
