  • I never said it did. I said the article and it's hard metrics all exclude working class people to paint a picture of a conservative working class. The point is we don't know, from this article, that Democrats have lost ground with the working class, because whenever numbers are involved they choose measures that don't actually measure the working class and specifically intertwine them with aspects that are more conservative.

    Even your final line implicitly associates education with class, when it couldn't be further from the truth for a lot of people today. Do you think college educated baristas don't think they're working class? And that's even by the income-based measure intended to put a "middle-class" buffer to protect from any sort of worker vs. capital framing.

  • In a class sense, those who must work to support their continued safety and health. If you'll spend most of your life at the whiims of a boss because you have to, you're working class.

    In the perverted income-based American form, it's usually used as a euphemism for "lower-middle" that at least has some inklings of class involved. Even there it's very much not "non-college educated". Jim Bob who owns 4 car dealerships is not college educated.

  • Working class is not "doesn't have a bachelor's degree". Using that measure with two decades between is biasing it toward older people. Twenty years ago, the number of 30 year olds without a college degree was much higher than it is today. And many of those young college graduates are working paycheck to paycheck at the mercy of their employer.

    The conflation of education with class and use of measures that amplify non-class related correlations with conservativism feels kind of sloppy when trying to highlight women being forgotten in the idea space of "working class". The same thing continues when the measure of choice is later "white working class women".

    I'm not saying we shouldn't be trying to win those voters, but starting out with "working class" and then relying on statistics that have major non-class correlations seems like it's playing into the exact same issues as pretending "working class" means men does.

  • Man, I guess that "Israel comes to be in my dreams" speech wasn't just an audience pleasing mistake by a politician who thought over the top support would never be politically harmful. She's a true psycho believer. MI really dodged a bullet there.

  • But think of how much better your life will be when the modest costs of primary care are taken away. Sure, you'll still go bankrupt when that primary care finds something and refers you to specialized treatment, but before that you'll be saving upwards of $150 a year. Or probably more like $25 if you have insurance, because they're sure not going to reduce premiums to make up the difference.

  • Seriously. You don't need to outline your whole journey to finding the bug, commentary on the tools you used, and how it all made you feel, just what the problem was and how it was fixed. Put the rest in a blog post.

  • ML is my career and I've been doing it for decades. You're wrong. LLMs hallucinate with full context.

  • Open weight LLMs are not trained any differently than all the others. They just publish the weights. It's still massive theft run through a data center.

    There is no (good) coding LLM trained ethically because securing rights to the amount of code and text required has not been attempted and is likely not possible. The best you can do is a company who hid a "by using this service you give us rights to use your code/writing to train our LLM" into a six page EULA no one reads and that's just a different kind of unethical.

  • What was that random desktop image in the middle of the article for? It's that the author's? What kind of impression did he expect his elf babe wallpaper to convey?

  • No, they should tear it down immediately. Don't pretend like an authoritarian monument needs proper review before its destruction. They can take their time and submit plans for the rebuild, but the ballroom needs to come down without pussy footing around giving the Court time to decide that now it's not ok.

    The only better result would be letting them say no before giving them the finger and doing it anyway because their whole lot is corrupt and illegitimate.

  • He wasn't a long-term military officer. He served in the military for 3.5 years and then became a MAGA politician. This isn't a good guy standing up for truth, it's some internal MAGA power struggle.

  • They're told he took the stupidest possible stance by a lobbyist and just took it as fact to keep some donors happy. Most of the people commenting on him are empty suits who would have no positions at all if they could avoid it. It just happens to be that that sort of person is incredibly easy to corrupt by wealthy interests.

  • Fix the title.

  • Trump judge. News needs to start publishing these things rather than pretending all federal judges are interchangeable agents of law.

  • What the fuck do you think you're trying to show here? That's another poll from even closer to the election about approval for an already selected candidate. Do you read the things you post?

  • That's a poll between a Harris and Trump in California after she'd already been selected as the nominee you disingenuous twat.

  • Destroying the postal service is a conservative goal. UPS, FedEx, and Amazon don't want there to be a semi-public alternative that anyone can use.

  • Whether something is too close to an election to change or not is entirely based on whether conservatives want it to happen.

  • Maybe you're falling for conservative propaganda then? We don't need to make the basic operations of democracy hard.
