I’m currently in a swing state, and I really enjoy getting the postcards. It makes me feel a little less alone in the sea of red.

Yeah, because the market went from having the opinion of “I’m 80% sure that Tesla is going to do this robo taxi, automaton thing” to " I’m 65% sure that Tesla is going to do this robotaxi, automaton thing". Things are rarely all or nothing with the market.

He’s openly talked of rounding up illegal immigrants, and changing the laws about what makes immigrants legal. If he acts on even half the threats he has made, a lot of people are in danger.

Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

It is a good sign, I was just saying that Georgia is definitely not for sure blue without interference from Republicans though (they do absolutely interfere though).

Nah dog. Georgia has some super red areas. The recent swing of the Atlanta suburbs to blue is a very recent phenomenon. Outside of Atlanta, it’s all trump country.

Slang meaning cool, admirable

My favorite internet video on the subject: https://youtu.be/WlP9aJnzyZw

Some would even say that ingesting dissolved iron is required for your health.

This and he relayed a story about peeping on women shower without their knowledge, and talked about how he liked trans porn even though he has pushed for extreme anti trans legislation.

As far as I can tell from reading your telling, he has a history of committing violence against women and lying about past events. I hope you recognize this as dangerous.

This doesn’t mean you can’t try to help him, but understand that there are risks.

I completely agree with you. An interesting aspect to this is that when it was still Twitter, Apple was one of the biggest marketers on the site. This was because all of the other online ad venders were direct competitors (google with phones, and Facebook with virtual reality). So having a place that isn’t google/meta to pump ad dollars makes sense to some businesses, or at least it did before the percentage of Nazi content rose so much.

Or the code is the operating system that the application is running on, or the code is the firmware that is operating the GPU that is crunching the numbers to make the neural net, or the code is the friends we made along the way.

In this case, no. This is just interpreting what the next frame should be by the previous one. Like how the sora videos work, but with input.

Sounds like you are wanting a system that punishes an ethnic group of children for being given worse opportunities.

But if the pool of candidates between the races were equal, why did fewer black candidates make it in? Is the new system racist against against black candidates, are black people less deserving of slots, or is there something that happens pre-applying for college that makes black candidates less appealing?

So the question then becomes, why are there less black candidates that can get in when race blind? Are black people just dumber? Or has the system they grew up in acted on them in a way that disadvantaged them? Because if we agree with the former, we are racists, and if we agree on the latter, well then it’s unfair to them because the system actively worked against them.

I agree that income matters more than race. Obviously. But they cut out considering race, and then less black people made it through the admission process. You can’t say that you are a big fan of the process AND you wish there were different outcomes.

Black people experience racism that has disadvantaged them, and it seems silly to think that we shouldn’t acknowledge that in processes that could give them a leg up.
