Boeing is going all in on AI tools. The entire software org is being pushed to put together plans for how they will using "Boeing AI' to decrease costs and increase output. I've been listening to people talk about how it made writing tests so much easier.. tests that are run on aircraft software for formal qualification... and these people are being richly rewarded by management, who have staked their career on AI....

AI just replaces the formal grammar of 3rd generation languages with an informal english-like grammar of a 4th generation language. Which means unlike compilers or assemblers, it will always be unpredictable and non deterministic, which makes it differnt from those other two examples in a very important way.

Yeah. These coding assistants are just 4th generation programming languages with no documented spec. Prompts are just another programming language, but using an informal grammar that can change without warning... which also means there is a rather low ceiling of how good you can get at it.

Hey dipshit, by your own numbers W. earned $20M and Biden earned less than $9M (after 16 years of inflation).

Hey dipshit, the point was that Biden was making money for his family, just as the OP was accusing Trump of doing. As I also posted, Trump himself actually lost money during his first term. Something that no other president has done in modern times.

So, Biden earned the least. But you're a raving shilling dipshit, so you had to try to spin it to fit your fantasy narrative.

No, Trump earned the least. He actually lost money.

1. Norway isn't a big producer (2.2% of world);

Just 5.5 million people are benefiting from selling 2.2% of the global oil. So .07% of the population is responsible for sending out 2.2% of the worlds oil. It's also 3% of the worlds natural gas supply. It's still going to be converted into CO2, so what's it matter.

None of this should be normal, but the GOP won't hold him accountable so here we are.

While I agree with you, what Trump is doing is no different than what others have done prior. Hell, Trump actually lost money after his first term. He went from a net worth of $3 billion to $2.3 billion after he got out in 2020.

Obama had a net worth of $1.3 million in 2008 and was worth $70 million when he left office. His "foundation" is worth almost $1 billion. Most of that will go toward paying his family and friends as most of those types of foundations do.

Bush Jr. went from $20 million to $40 million. Which is the most modest gain since Reagan.

Clinton was worth $1.3 million when he got in office and was worth over $240 million when he left in 2000. But they claimed they were broke.

Bush Sr. was worth $4 million when he became president and $23 million when he left office. Granted, he only had 4 years.

Reagan was worth $10.6 million in 1980 and $15.4 when he left. Considering the inflation we had in the early 1980's, that's not as great as it sounds.

Biden is an interesting one. His net worth in 2009 was $30K. Just $30 thousand. By the time he left office as vice president he was worth $270K. By 2019 he manged to get that up to $9 million. But his son raked in almost $7 million between 2013 and 2016 alone. If you look at where his income came from it makes no sense as he wasn't qualified for any of the roles he had. And then there's the "art". I'm pretty sure everyone with an IQ above 50 understands that art is one of the biggest money laundering schemes there is.

That's the Science process. People make mistakes, and their results can't be reproduced. New papers are written to point out the errors. A study finds out why the results could not be repeated, and new knowledge has been gained.

Instead of improving the process of error correction, your idea seems to be to not do Science at all, because if no peer-reviewed papers are produced, there are no peer-reviewed papers which can't be reproduced, right?

He still can't prove his claims. No need to debunk him. And just because he was able to point out errors in some of the papers that tried to correct him, he wasn't proven right in any way. Errare humanum est, and you can be wrong in so many ways that most of them contradict each other. This does not make any of them more right than the others.

You have a very naive way of looking at the world. First, Russia does not place its intercontinental rockets around Moscow. They are mainly around the Kola peninsula close to the Finish border, in the Ural mountains, on the peninsula Kamtchatka close to the Alaskian Shore and on the Kurilian Islands North of Japan. Second, the Stable Genius did not have any Strategic ideas. He just looked at a map, and in his imperial reflex, he saw places in North America, which werenât U.S. territory, which greatly bothered him. As annexing Mexico would mean 100 Million Mexicans suddenly becoming U.S. citizens, he dropped the idea of demanding Mexico, but Canada and Greenland? Oh yes!
