After a quarter of a century America is now committing some kind of unprompted national suicide.

It's very odd to observe from the outside.

It's bad enough that companies are legally classified as people.

That's how the US ended up with an absurd Supreme Court ruling that declared that money spend by companies on political races qualifies as "speech".

Only humans should be able to get copyright on their work. I am 100% with Cory Doctorow in how we should handle and regulate the current crop of AI.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it!

Analog computers are much closer to the new neuromorphic computing paradigm then the digital one. And they were the first ones used to solve differential equations.

Anyone who thinks that Elon's BS won't still be promoted in the recommended feed, I'll have a nice bride to sell you.

He can show whatever code he wants. Doesn't mean that internally that's actually the one they run.

This project makes for a perfect fit. As nothing about the Effective Altruism movement is effective or altruistic.

... social media.

Rubio just banned several Europeans from entering the US because he considers the EU social media regulations to interfere with the free speech rights of Americans. The hypocrisy is staggering.

My point is that he will be able to pay for a pardon, just like the Biance guy did:

Utterly corrupt pay-to-play pardon scheme by this most corrupt administration. Mindboggling how many pardons he already granted.

The Dems should make a lot of noise about this pardon corruption.

It's easy to explain and easy to understand that pay-to-play pardons make a mockery of justice. I think this could cut through similar to the Epstein Files.

And while I am all in for Ukraine, I don't think that this administration's betrayal and, frankly treason, will resonate as much. Fog of war, and a country far, far away, will make this less front and center than these domestic affairs.

I think Epstein, affordability cost and pardon corruption will be the winning issues.

Only 9% of refugees aged between 25 and 54 are unemployed.

But thank you for illustrating what MapleMAGA looks like, and for demonstrating that we are fighting the same kind of willful stupidity and hate mongering up here.

We are just lucky that our system doesn't allow for gerrymandering.

If he still has enough to grease Donnie's palm a pardon won't be a problem.

Most corrupt administration in my lifetime.

They had a very good reporting engine when OLAP was a new thing back in the early 2000s. A business model licensing software that actually delivered value to their customers. What a concept!

Now they are a Ponzi scheme dressed up as a company. Another indication how far the US has fallen that the SEC tolerates this kind of BS.

No amount of AI can make up for the number of interceptors. The entire dome metaphor is stupid and misleading. Layered air defense systems have been around since forever. Slapping the AI and dome label on it doesn't change this one bit. It's just marketing.

The only new quality in air defense are laser based systems such as the British Dragon Fire. But those aren't a dome either.

OK. So just petty.

And BTW I am based in the "51st state" and advocate that we need a nuclear break out capability because of such nice neighbors as you.

During the Biden admin the US passed several support packages. None during the current administration. The support now falls squarely on Europe alone.

There also has been a bipartisan sanction bill ready in the senate for months now but it won't move unless he gives the go ahead.

The current DimWit "peace plan" obviously originated in the Kremlin and Witkoff couldn't act more like a Russian agent if he tried.
