there is some crazy poetic beauty going on here

after a week of some of the most transformative and agile political activity in modern history the detractors have managed to find a sign maker and using only the most uninspired of fonts proceeds to put out the most ChatGPT looking list of talking points.

"Alexa we just lost ground in all 50 states, the house, senate, and presidency by over a 2.3 million person plurality can you please give me a good idea to make our few renaming supports feel we are just as passionate and active as our opponents?"

"Searching searching, Online results suggest a a nice card without to many hard to read words in short choppy bullet points that dont really say anything but really let someone with alot of anger feel like they have an authoritative talking point at the water cooler and twitter is the best way to communicate to a brain rotted political base."

Why not just get really honest and come out with a big sign that just says HE TOOK ERRR JERBSS!

Crazy to think that income tax came about as a prohibition-era solution to "how do we make money when we got so much tax off the booze we just banned?".

Actually it was the other way around: female incels who hated men and their bets orbiters pitched and forced down our throats the income tax as part of their plan to ban liquor by offering it up as the replacement for the tax money we normally got taxing booze.

Minnesota in shambles, apparently

Article | Archive
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon presided over the House session Monday, days after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that 68 members must be present for a quorum. House Republicans, who have 67 in their caucus, have been meeting since the opening day of the session on Jan. 14, when they elected a speaker and assigned committee chairs. The Supreme Court’s ruling effectively invalidated House Republicans’ work for the past two weeks.

All 66 House Democrats are beginning their third week of boycotting the Capitol in an effort to deny Republicans a quorum and control of the chamber.

A key sticking point is whether Republicans will agree to seat Rep. Brad Tabke, a Shakopee Democrat who won his reelection by 14 votes in a contest marred by 20 missing ballots. A judge ruled in an advisory opinion that Tabke would have won anyway, and a do-over is not needed.

Democratic House leader Melissa Hortman on Monday said that Democrats are unlikely to boycott the Capitol until a March special election that’s expected to deliver another Democratic member and bring the House to a 67-67 tie.

Gov. Tim Walz has yet to call a special election for DFL-leaning House District 40B, though Hortman said she anticipates it will be around March. The district became vacant when Curtis Johnson resigned his seat after a judge ruled he didn’t live in the district.

I'm starting to think Kamala really did bankrupt the DNC. This is their first response to hundreds of EO's and it's pathetic. If they were flush with cash there would've already been a hundred lawsuits filed. Instead it's just totally ineffectual disarray.

That doesn't seem quite right. What exactly are you referring to?
Click to expand...
I believe that I'm referring to a form of the halting problem. I'd need to fish the exact form of it out of lecture slides from the better part of a decade ago, if I still have them.


Computers don't work like we do. They can't look at a problem from the outside and "make the connection" that it's going to be an infinite regress before working it out unto eternity.

That's a property of intuition, not something that you can represent in logic gates (or neurons, for the same reason).

Computers don't have epiphanies—"Eureka" moments.

Those 20 people have no legal standing even though they’re voting constituents who are affected by the results of those votes. They have a stake in the results but we won’t consider them because they might not give us the results we want. Fucking Democrats.

The term "underfucked liberal woman" needs to get much much more play.

These aren't loans. He's put a hold on $3 Trillion in Federal GRANTS pending a full review. Academia and the professional outrage pimps on suicide watch.

It’s grants and loans as far as I’m aware. Trump has decided to shut down effectively all government spending. While I know some people are giddy at the concept of no more government spending, it’s also an immediate halt on a chunk of the economy. This is going to be a hit to not just economic spending, but unemployment levels, as Trump learns that the vast majority of government spending is not spent on the WOKE.

Has Musk actually bought into the AGI bandwagon? I'm not sure if even he thinks he's creating the singularity aka techno god. That's the court of AI cultists like Altman who also don't understand their own industry. Elon invested in AI, cause it means more research on how to make his self driving cars not bowl straight over jaywalkers.

Just wanted to give you a headsup, I believe you used negative reinforcement here to mean punishment. Let me explain.

Positive reinforcement: which means the giving of a prefered stimulus or acitivity (Being given 20 bucks for an A on a report card)

Negative reinforcement: the removal of an unpreffered stimulus or activity(example not having to do dishes because you got an A on your report card)

Punishment: the giving of an unpreffered stimulus or activity (being beaten for a B on your report card by your asian father)

Being yelled at for landing a plane would fall under punishment. Just wanted to help you out for future discussion so you seem more knowledgeable.

fucking THANK YOU.
I have said this for YEARS to friends, family, and colleagues.

None of them fucking believed me. EVER.
"Negative reinforcement is like, spanking."
NO IT IS FUCKING NOT.

If those drones were authorized and known to the government, then why did we waste money investigating them and trying to figure out who they belong to for weeks? Why have private meetings with government officials trying to figure out who they belonged to? Are we supposed to accept that the FAA and military are so inept that they couldn't communicate and quickly figure out that they were our own approved research drones?
