I grew up in the cold war. I’ve done the drills. I know both what the fear of an all-out nuclear holocaust is, and I know that the reality will be something entirely different.

Did you not see what happened to Russia’s latest Satan II ICBM? Thankfully that one wasn’t armed.

That’s a good line to use on Putin.

Realistically, if Putin uses the nuclear codes, this is what happens:

A few warheads in Russia explode in their silos and the government blames the West. A bunch of other warheads are harmlessly shot down. A few actually find their targets and a few million people are wiped out. The west retaliates and suddenly the war is over.

BICS then becomes ascendant in global power, China claims Taiwan and the Philippines and possibly Japan, and Israel is wiped off the face of the earth as all sides turn it into a nuclear slag pile, killing Israelis, Palestinians and a large number of Lebanese and Syrians in the bargain.

Then things adjust to the new normal and economies rebuild, with the noted absence of Russia and Belarus.

It’s the same type of people who were against seatbelt regulations in the 1970s and helmet laws for motorcycles and bicycles later on.

People who only want to live in a society when the benefit to them is immediately obvious.

Balanced for inflation?

Obvious solution: build water splitters driven by natural gas.

The good news is that a lot of banks now offer free credit monitoring, alerts and controls because they know your data has already been breached. This allows you to, via your bank’s interface, take control of your credit monitoring instead of handing it off to an agency that profits from gobbling up whatever it can know about you.

Check with your bank to see what tools they have available for you.

Spot-on.

I spend a lot of time training people how to properly review code, and the only real way to get good at it is by writing and reviewing a lot of code.

With an LLM, it trains on a lot of code, but it does no review per-se… unlike other ML systems, there’s no negative and positive feedback systems in place to improve quality.

Unfortunately, AI is now equated with LLM and diffusion models instead of machine learning in general.

So… the winning strategy is to overestimate them?

So essentially, the conclusion is that he acted on bad advice in what he thought were the best interests of Georgians, and was not part of the conspiracy to overthrow the government?

But he DID sign the falsified paper saying he was an elector and that he was selecting the candidate with fewer votes?

You can be legally deaf and still able to hear sound that’s really loud. Just like you can be legally blind but able to make out really vivid and bright images.

It’s a well documented issue tied directly to gambling…

Personally, I’d just limit it to feeding them data that a large undecided segment believes a few provably false outlandish things, so that they publicly endorse said things when they could be spending time doing something socially destructive.
