“Get out to vote” is a direct instruction. It means you personally should go and vote.

“Get out the vote” means you should get everyone else out to vote. “Vote” is being used as a mass noun that you want to make as large as possible -by getting it out and making sure people turn up.

That’s just what they want you to think.

He fucked up dropping out as well as everything else. People can still vote 🪱 in a bunch of states.

The original case was just bullshit made up by a bored journalist.

In 2007, an article in the American Psychologist found “no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive”.

I remember playing Max Payne. There was some battle in a bar against a guy with a shotgun. If you timed it right between reloads you could run up to the guy, stand on the bar so your guns were exactly level with his face and empty two Uzi clips point blank into his face before he could reload.

Then you would run out of ammo and he would one shot kill you.

It really comes down to what you’re used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don’t know the tools that haven’t been ported there.

For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.

The big obvious thing that you can’t get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.

In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there’s workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t need to care about, but I’d rather not bother.

I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn’t choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.

I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.

If I wanted more effort I’d still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there’s value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.

Although it’s federated nature is kinda dying.

If you’re not on one of the major providers good luck getting people to see your email.

I’m still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.

Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

You can’t do that because he’s a billionaire.

For billionaires you have to charge them at least a few hundred thousand to be sunk to the bottom of the ocean in a small but very exclusive carbon fiber chamber.

It just says can be activated. Not “automatically activates”.

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it’s just theatre.

You err’d fucked-up twice.

Once when you flat out failed to find anything using Google, when other people clearly had no trouble at all. If you’re telling the truth, this just means you suck at Google. There’s no reason to be googling chatgpt’s hallucinations instead of searching for the stuff an actual human told you about.

The second time was when you took chatgpt seriously. Just don’t. It’s a very expensive toy that occasionally does something cool. We’re still trying to figure out if it’s actually useful for anything, or if it’s just really good at appearing useful.

Google returns sources that you can evaluate for accuracy.

Chatgpt just says things.

Every output of chatgpt should end with “source: just trust me bro”.

Yeah you’re right. Too many negatives and I flipped one of them when thinking about this.

Terrible headline.

Warren absolutely does buy that Trump would veto a ban. She just thinks that the justification (states rights) is complete bullshit.

Edit: I should not post at 5 in the morning. I got this completely backward.

You might want to look at Wittgenstein.

In his early work he went hard on this approach, and insisted that “hey philosophy is dumb”, just agree on the definitions and then chase through the implications.

In his later work he realised that this is impossible. Words have contextual meaning that is revealed by their usage and you can’t nail down full and complete definitions in advance.

What you’re talking about absolutely can and will never work. We have tried it and seen it fail.

If Musk doesn’t pay the loans the banks can take Twitter off him, but then they’re stuck with Twitter.

It’s always lost money, but now Musk has driven off the advertisers and many of the high prestige users; got stuck in a bunch of pointless lawsuits he’s going to lose; and run up a lot of debt by refusing to pay people.

And Musk knows this. The banks are fucked.

As someone working and publishing in the field this is more a cyber jerk about American exceptionalism than actually true.

Chinese universities and companies publish a shit tonne at pure machine learning conferences. They absolutely do a large amount of research into the fundamentals of machine learning as well as the applied stuff. They’re probably the closest to the US in terms of having large firms that are prepared to bank roll the training of the very large language models.

Alibaba in particular has been constantly doing cutting edge stuff in terms of multimodal language models that are worth paying attention to.

The actual truth is that China does both kinds of work. Broad foundational and applied work lead by independent research groups in companies and universities, and focused application driven stuff for direct application by the state.

Google still stands out in terms of the amount of research it does, but this is because Google is different to everyone -other US research institutes don’t compare to it either.

Can he drop out?

Kamala had to be nominated before the convention to make registration deadlines in Ohio.

Shouldn’t RFK be stuck on the ballet? - at least in Ohio?
