In Florida, would this be just one doctor’s signature, with time extensions until a conservatorship can
be obtained? Might require Secret Service cooperation — or maybe they could arrange their own coup with this as a side effect.
obligatory cat/trump video to add:
oil prices are about to make polyester a noble fiber
That is so heroic (but as an ex-NASA knowledge worker, I'm biased)! I've cited this graph to many on ye olde eX-Twitter, now an anti-social website. Extending the Michael Mann hockey stick curve even further back via ice cores is incredible. Internet Archive hopefully will preserve no matter what.
Agreed -- even though the odds are inherently great for this I will always leave it to Chance!
Despite initial enthusiasm from a failed mathlete, I must take back the "notoriously difficult" part vis-a-vis the IMO. I've since learned that altho Putnam is college-level vs HS, it tests the knowledge base in a shallower way vs. IMO's multi-hour problem-solving. Hence 120/120 scores now from AI.
Although Nobel economist Paul Krugman doesn't mention state power to investigate trades (Illinois for Chicago-based CME futures market, and NY state for NYMEX trades), his article on how the insider trades were treason resonates: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/treason-in...
Yes, since futures contracts are traded on the Chicago-based CME, the Illinois AG can investigate, per: www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Item...
Thx for feedback; indeed I don't know you and am also an apt. dweller. Interested in the ideas whose time has come amid senseless oil wars. The real lecturers would be folks like Prof. M. Z. Jacobsen for "Still No Miracles Needed". I can shift my enthusiasm elsewhere--congrats for a low-C footprint.
(2/2) So, ride/drive EVs when you don't walk, bike or take public transport, use heat pumps, install solar when possible, and wash your clothes with cold water. Little of that is hard, so no need to "sacrifice" by wearing the Jimmy Carter sweater in winter, or driving at 55mph. Read Bill McKibben.
(1/2) It's a good thing that renewable solar/wind/water/battery energy has already won against fossil fuel--95%+ of new utility-scale power installations around the world use renewable energy, because it's economically cheaper. Some peeps don't want you to know this, but it's the way of the world...
It can also be ended by just a few votes in the U.S. House of Reps to impeach & 20 Senators to convict. Until this simple thing happens, the less than two dozen people are enablers of war crimes (and complicit in many other senseless deaths, e.g. from ICE + USAID/vaccine/climate change denial).
Thanx. I'm sympathetic; I live in a major city where Tourette syndrome occurs in public enough to evoke reactions, whether or not it is properly understood. Here the irony is that although the syndrome is "uncontrollable", it takes much self-control to make a TikTok vid to present it unvarnished.
Ah, the year when both "The FBI" (starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) and Jack Webb's "Dragnet" were playing on TV. Alas, this was before his time.
Serendipitously, I was just reading about Climategate (p. 69-70) in your great collaboration with Prof. Hotez "Science Under Siege". Sad about her, not just wrongheaded about hockey-stick verification, but so opportunistic about other areas you've highlighted. Did she know in advance about JE?
The excess COVID deaths caused by DJT-encouraged vaccine hesitancy were estimated at 200,000-300,000. Agree that USAID stoppage estimates result in more annually per simulations, only to be attenuated by gap filling by other governments or intl. actors. Climate change death is another horrorshow.
Impeachment of any cabinet-level official still requires 2/3 of the Senate for removal. Sad — only takes a simple majority to confirm, as Cassidy did for Kennedy but now regrets.
Further amplifying the statistical snark (the rest of the political junkie site (long-running for over 20 years) is often this way, too): www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Item...
Some folks at Sun pronounced HP UX "Hockey pucks", especially the hockey-enthused CEO Scott McNealy.
Ah, ye olde Unix wars, with every vendor (Sun, HP, DEC, IBM, SGI, etc.) having their own version. Now it's settled -- Unix clone Linux wins for most commercial server hardware, while Apple runs with BSD Unix for consumer goods.
Hopefully, the FERC estimates for the next several years won't be too impacted by the active sabotage of renewable energy by DJT, outlined here (NYT gift article): www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/c...
Cyber Ninjas redux.
Here's a rundown on why DJT's polling numbers remain stubbornly near 39%, and are not closer to his low of 34%.
Executive summary -- it's the framing provided by the "news desert" vacuum filled by the Sinclair group: cmarmitage.substack.com/p/how-do-39-...
If DJT were the only force, anything could happen. But it only takes 4 House Democrats and 20 Senate GOP to remove DJT completely from the equation. About financial repercussions, it's better to quote a real economist like Paul Krugman paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow...
Further, here's a very approachable laudatory note about Conway from an unusual source (a politics-junkie website run by two academic professors, one a noted computer scientist and another who is a historian): www.electoral-vote.com/evp2024/Item...
Another computing propellerhead who broke the gender barrier (but in a slightly different way) was Lynn Conway. Included in her recognitions was the IBM Lifetime Achievement Award, given after a rare public apology by them for once firing her. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Co...
Yup, oil wars are so 20th century, since both China & the U.S. have reached peak oil consumption due to electrification, where 90%+ of new power plants use renewable energy. See also www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Item...
This is reserves, not production. Fortunately, as the world electrifies, peak *consumption* of oil is being reached in both China and the U.S. as 95%+ of new energy sources actually put online are solar+wind+water. Solar has already won, but many folks don't know it. Oil wars are so 20th century.
… by that I mean you don’t just take the empirical “FSD” programming and flip a switch (i.e. somehow “mirror image” the neural nets) exhibiting a general truth. Like Ginger Rogers did with Fred Astaire, only “backwards and in high heels”, ha!
Quite thoughtful! The bit about "confusing local wins with general truths" reminds me of tooling around SF in a driver-assisted Tesla. The careful NN training "as is" would instantly fail in a reversed-lane country like the UK. Solution is to retrain there, but w/o extracting "general truth" 1st ...
