Given the timing that nearly all the primaries are done, his replacement would necessarily be someone no one even has the chance to vote on. This is a tremendous risk.

However, if he announced someone like “announcing my new chief of staff: Obama”…

I suppose that would make sense. Trump doubled down on tax cuts for the wealthy and burning the hell out of fossil fuels. So even if someone were oblivious to his lying, and Trump was able to “perform” more confidently, the end result were policies with grave implications. Also, on the one weak point with progressives, falling to protect Palestinians, Trump’s criticism was that Biden wasn’t pro Israel hard enough…

I was thinking the debate rules actually saved Trump from his worst impulses. Biden was allowed to speak at full length and Trump gets to appear like he can participate in a civilized conversation while Biden would sometimes go off the rails while trying to fill his time. A lot of his embarrassments started in a decent place, but pivoted badly in the middle.

Trump confidently lied repeatedly without consequences, and so long as someone is unaware that it’s lies, I could imagine them finding Trump’s rhetoric credible that night.

I’ll agree, but he was at the same time more bold, like saying everyone wanted to overturn Roe v Wade. Confident and competent lying can get you far, but if you lie about how the people watching would feel, you undermine all your other lying.

There are few things more maddening than claiming you know how someone feels more than they themselves do. A very credible liar can be undone if they lie that well on a matter the audience personally knows better. Suddenly all the benefit of the doubt purchased by the confidence is erased.

And at least in some distributions, they do exactly that, a number of aliases for the same interface. And you can add your own.

Finally, my life-sized hotwheels car can have a suitable route.

I’m guessing they have a job like mine, where a driving trip is a relatively rare occurrence and micromanaging the travel isn’t worth it to mitigate the risk of paying out a little more.

Nice… Wait a minute…

Yeah, that’s a grandmother, so what?

Just have a bookshelf behind you during the interview, you’ll be golden.

Or maybe have the oval office as a backdrop, that might really make you qualified.

It’s a matter of scale, that physical activity moves energy usage maybe 10 to 15 % during the exercise compared to sitting still. However, there’s a lot of reasons to exercise for the sake of your pancreas and heart.

Besides, 84% of weight lost is by breathing it out, so not technically the bathroom.

While true, exercise is very important. For example if you are sedentary then that visceral fat screwing up your pancreas is extra risky because you also build up insulin resistance.

Even if they don’t lose that much weight, it at least mitigates some of the risks increased by being overweight.

the stuff you’re asking for doesn’t work that well, but this does

I didn’t think that this works. The examples where people claim “is just like this” I don’t see as being like this.

The ones that work are ones that have some relation to their cause. Forcing everyone to really think about an issue Inherent to the act. For example, going about and doing this to parked private jets, which they did.

Just doing anything to get attention isn’t useful if there’s no Inherent message in the act itself. Especially with climate where everyone already has awareness, just not action.

Being merely loud is not going to sway hearts and minds in your favor.

Also there’s no way it would toss “origin: ru” in there and only that. It’s way too convenient to have those three pieces of data and only those.

I think it was a joke and a lot of people ate the onion.

That’s been my experience so far, that it’s largely useless for knowledge based stuff.

In programming, you can have it take “pseducode” and have it output actionable code for more tedious languages, but you have to audit it. Ultimately I find traditional autocompletion just as useful.

I definitely see how it helps cheat on homework, and extends “stock photography” to the point of really limiting the market for me photography or artists for bland business assets though.

I see how people find it useful for their “professional” communications, but I hate it because people that used to be nice and to the point are staying to explode their communication into a big LLM mess.

It’s interesting, when you ask a LLM something that it doesn’t know, it will tend to just spew out words that sound like they make sense, but are wrong.

So it’s much more useful to have a human that will admit that they don’t have a response for it. Or the human acts like the LLM spewing stupid stuff that sounds right and gets promoted instead.

So much the better, as far as those executives are concerned.

Let’s say you want to cut costs and you know you have momentum and a long lag where your total incompetence won’t make a difference to business results in the short term, so cut costs by getting rid of the top talent.

Now if they outright just fire every good person, well that looks obviously stupid, but if those good people just… up and quit… well they are hardly to blame, and don’t have to pay out those massive severances. You get your annual bonus which is big, and your big restricted stock payday might be delayed two years, but they know, realistically, they can probably coast a good 3 or 4 years before the game is up. Or if you have a supremely strong ‘business brand’, you might be able to coast indefinitely as the big shots will never believe that brand isn’t good anymore.

We have a young person here on student visa and he’s struggling to get a more persistent arrangement and thinks he may have to move back next year when his visa is done. He’s hoping for an h1b, but that’s a lottery… If there’s something he’s missing, it’d be good to know.

Agreed, WW2 scale became crazy because Japan and Germany were just allowed to conquer so much so fast before a meaningful response. Russia is being held to a much tighter theater from the onset.
