You're gonna say that and then just not link the beaver video?

EU4's ledger has given a lot of people a very wrong impression of how much we know about the world

Yeah, "a non-programmer suspects a manual task could be automated by a script, can verify output fairly easily, low stakes if it doesn't work" is the best-case scenario for AI, tbh

Even if we grant that that's true for sake of argument, surely you can recognize that there's a difference between "doing this thing is dumb" and "you're an idiot if you do this thing", right?

Same reason why jet lag is better if you can spring for business class seats, tbh

The only other possible answer is trains, but if you're crossing multiple timezones, you're probably gonna spring for a sleeper car, which lets you adjust more naturally

The timing couldn't be worse, too, what with the Strait of Hormuz

Deal to Restart TSA Funding Heads to House After Clearing Senate The US Senate passed legislation early Friday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, forging a path to end a lengthy partial government shutdown that snarled airport security and threate...

What It Would Take to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz An end to hostilities won’t necessarily bring ships pouring back through the strategic waterway. Here’s what a return to normal traffic is likely to entail

Election results reporting has made (D+22)-style nomenclature much more confusing than it used to be

Couldn't help but notice you forgot to address the "or inclination" part as well

I don't think cutting off all aid to Israel would be enough to end the occupation. We should do it anyways, but I don't think it'll be sufficient. I'd be pretty surprised if just cutting them off from purchasing American weapons would do it, though it would hurt more

Who do you think has the inclination and means to coerce Israel into giving up the occupation, then?

The Roman Empire, Norse Mythology, WWII... Sucks how much I have to add "but not in a weird way" when I talk about things I like

Rory Johnston on How Oil Could Surge to Over $200 a Barrel

🎙️ I was thrilled to rejoin @weisenthal.bsky.social & @tracyalloway.bsky.social on the Odd Lots podcast to discuss the historic and ongoing disruption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, through which ~20% of the world's oil flows

This is it. This is the big one

Please don’t spread misinformation. Tomahawks fly at low altitude. It’s climbing like a THAAD interceptor (we are out of interceptors).

It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

"Conservatism is not merely dead, fascism has paraded the body around, peeled off its face, and is wearing it as a mask for its own amusement as it does a demented little dance." www.liberalcurrents.com/it-wasnt-fas...

There's a good amount of discussion about this in @zachweinersmith.bsky.social's "A City On Mars"

Does kinda seem like "the company is liable for anything the chatbot says" would be a good policy

That works a lot better with a well-functioning, affordable, and responsive legal system, which... isn't a trivial objection

Also, I dunno how you can call rice and beef, two of the most calorie dense foods out there, "low calorie"

YouTube needs this too, tbh

"Type in UPPER and LOWER case" is really throwing me off, tbh. Do you type it twice?

Nach Vance kommen wir

I don't see anything on Bloomberg, and this seems like something they'd do a push alert for if it was real. I don't believe it tbh, but we'll find out for sure with tomorrow's jobs report

TBH, this sounds like something you could vibe-code into existence, if you wanted to give it a shot

People really will say anything on this app, huh

They shouldn't do it anywhere, but doing it in the most pivotal swing state would be especially dumb

This is the best I've seen. I'm not clear on how much more evidence they'd need outside of the publicly-available video, but I'm not a lawyer

I've never understood why SS contributions can be maxed out for the year. Wonder if that was the original implementation, or if that was a Reagan era knee-capping
