I mean, the whole interview is a master class, but the subhead really foreshadows what's to come.

The fabulous podcast Search Engine had a journalist on who suggested that to take this "LLMs are useless" position is basically abdicating the skeptic's role of challenging and questioning LLMs, their use, and their impact. Worth a listen. open.spotify.com/episode/1mc6...

Photo of a powder-blue electric typewriter that I owned in the 1980's. To correct a typo, you popped out the cartridge containing the ink ribbon, put in a cartridge containing white correction tape, backspaced, typed over the error, popped out the correction cartridge, returned the ink cartridge, and typed over the whited-over letters.

Correction ribbon.

Agree -- I don't think a new ad campaign will fix this, and I doubt they're willing to do what would.

I'd say this is unbelievable, but obviously it's not considering our current situation. But I can't think of another word for it. Fucking unbelievable?

It's the worst month for discipline issues at my kids' schools. No breaks, too far into the year for anything to feel exciting, not close enough to the the end of the year to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow, you'd think if another country was making decisions to attack that put our troops and citizens at risk and forced us into a war, we'd stop selling them so many fucking weapons.

What a terrible, terrible idea. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in some competitive stupidity event.

Photo of the "scif" at mar-a-lago. The curtains surrounding the space don't go to the ceiling. I've circled what looks like a speaker attached to the ceiling, overlooking the "scif."

I keep looking at this thing hanging from the ceiling and wondering if in a few years we'll find out that it was bugged and the opsec geniuses there never even checked bc they didn't have a ladder or something.

The United States puts schools on military bases, so there's one answer for you

Excerpt from the original poster's article with an edit. The original text reads, "however, the two stopped being friends long before Epstein was investigated and convicted in Florida of prostitution." The edited text reads, "Trump claims the two stopped being friends long before Epstein was investigated and convicted in Florida of prostitution with a minor."

It goes against all reason that that combination of foods would work out but it's some higher-level synergy or something.

He didn't call the FBI until he knew Epstein was being investigated, right? So he *knew*, but waited until the wheels were already in motion to pretend he was concerned. That's hardly a defense.

This looks like a "before" shot for a "how a suit should fit" article.

Screenshot from NY Times article in which the text "The agent who was hit by Mr. Martinez’s vehicle was released from the hospital after he was treated for a knee injury, according to the ICE report," is edited to read, "The agent who was ALLEGEDLY hit by Mr. Martinez’s vehicle was released from the hospital after he was treated for a knee injury, according to the ICE report."

There's no reason to report the cops' version as fact. We know it frequently isn't.

That guy handing them stuffed animals was risking his life.

I would not want to be the man handing stuffed animals to the Canadian hockey team during this medal ceremony. I've seen a lot of disappointed silver medalists over the years but these guys are next-level.

This doesn't have party preference, but I found these stats interesting! Percent holding passport by state, etc.

Pop quiz! They said that part of the issue is people not really understanding what the percentage chance of rain/snow means, and also the bias we have to remember bad things over good (wrong predictions over correct).
