I’m hoping Hegseth is next, but I think it will be Patel.

At the very least, as others have suggested, toll the complaint until after they’re no longer in office.

“And in doing so followed all of the guidance the Supreme Court saw fit to provide…”

Would love a docket link.

Having read the pre-suit letter from his lolyer, at least half of the claims are clearly protected opinion (e.g. “Patel is a threat to national security.”)

I worked at a company that tapped in to “re-skilling” money post Hurricane Katrina, focusing largely on food service and customer service training for entry-level work.

It was a benefit to the company, but I don’t have enough data to say whether it was useful to the workers. My gut says no.

Even if I believed the prediction (I don't) - it is not incumbent upon any CEO to make this happen. Y'all could just keep hiring humans. Stop making this our problem when it's a YOU problem.

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.

The only things standing in my way of becoming a federal prosecutor under this administration are a bar number and the barest shreds of a moral compass.

This administration may be willing to compromise on the first one.

Were I the judge, I would very much consider telling SCOTUS where to put their lack of opinion by re-issuing a new ruling with the same finding and a note that if they can’t be assed to explain themselves then one cannot align with their reasoning.

There is no opinion, therefore there can be no precedent.

Add in BlueSky’s (and humanity’s) inability to differentiate between describing a thing and approving a thing, and it’s not going to go well for him.

Is an algorithm implementing the formula for plotting a point on a normal curve (statistical sense) intelligence?

(No)

What about any other statistical formulas, like clustering, component analysis, Markov chains, or analysis of variation?

(Also, no)

That’s what an LLM is: statistics.

Consistent with your post, the book “First Break Al the Rules” has as its central thesis that managers, especially first-line supervisors, will make or break an organization.

Declining fertility used to be strongly offset by new immigration.

That part is no longer going so well.

Self-evident: If AI could accurately verify, its designers would build that in the output chain, and it would consequently not output wrong answers.

Looking rather like a children’s book in the style of Doctor Seuss, on a saturated Columbia blue background we see a green cuddly (?) monster. H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers) by R.J. Ivankovic

Let’s just say I briefly worked with a contractor on a particular aspect of that program, and very few things about the major contractor’s organizational culture were “fine”.

They could get out of their own way; would not listen to their own experts.

I am so tired of the tyranny and judgement of very early risers. Being a night owl is not a moral failing or laziness. I have just as much need and right to a good night's sleep as everyone else.

And lest we pick solely on the navy, sentinel (USAF) is not doing terribly well, although some combination of congressional and Lockheed dysfunction may play a large part in that.
