  • Trump Spirals After Being Asked if His Name Is in Epstein Files

  • It's doublethink. You have to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. You'll never make it in today's Republican Party unless you master it.

  • Trump Spirals After Being Asked if His Name Is in Epstein Files

    Jump

  • No, none at all, but he absolutely hates people not adoring him absolutely, and he has enough social awareness to know that pedophiles are unpopular.

    He knew no MAGA would care if he shot someone.

    He also knows that they don't care that he's an unfaithful womanizer and rapist.

    I think (and I think he thought) that MAGA and Congress will let him get away with being just under the age limit into sexual abuse of minors one or twice, because they'll happily swallow whatever lie he tells them about not realizing it, and I suspect that's all he thought was there and pretty easy to redact, because in his mind, he always minimizes and excuses his crimes, and he absolutely expects others to do likewise, or they're fired.

    But him being in the Epstein files 20 times as often than Clinton, that, he knows, will upset MAGA and cause the QAnons to realise that he was part of the epicentre of a conspiracy of rich and powerful pedophile "elites", enough to make them reconsider everything he ever said.

  • If you have an inner voice, does it sound like you or someone else?

  • Me, absolutely me. Full on audio, my voice. Not all the time, but a lot of the time.

  • Your straw men just with me so far, just in the last hour:

    • One vote would have changed the presidency
    • One state would have changed the presidency
    • Trump and/or Biden caused the flood
    • Climate change stops and starts with the changes in the Whitehouse
    • Individual weather disasters are the same as long term climate change
    • This woman's voting record is so heinous that she deserves her children to die

    I said nothing like any of those things. You invented them all.

    I did say that she is responsible for her heinous voting record and that you shouldn't excuse it. I did say that she is responsible for not just voting against the rapist in chief and the chum of Epstein that she's so shocked isn't releasing the Epstein files, but voting for him.

    How about engaging with something that I actually said for once?

  • I couldn't make any sense of your comment at all for a while, but now I understand.

    And no, not really, not ever, just having silly internet fun.

  • Her kid didn't die and I wouldn't wish that on her, but it's another straw man and another attempt by you to excuse bad voters from the bad consequences of their bad actions.

  • You're suggesting verifying your kids' sexuality on a regular basis?!?!

  • Wolves an' Leopards Are Trying To Kill The Sheep an' The Shepherd

    Jump

  • Dude, I put it in brackets for a reason.

    Also, your logic of "one vote wouldn't change the outcome" doesn't excuse her for voting for the shitpants nastiest, stupidest, most deceitful, blazen rapist daughter-lusting racist fraudster you could possibly imagine.

    He's a complete piece of shit who shits all over the constitution and shits all over the American people, and there aren't any good excuses for her allowing him in the Whitehouse again. She is part of the decision to enable this demolition of everything helpful or useful in the USA. Stop excusing it.

  • Their Republican governor and their Republican president gutted their flood warning staff, recently. If they'd received a flood warning they might have left the flat land next to the river and they might not be dead.

    So no, Harris wouldn't have stopped the flood, but she wouldn't have stopped the flood warning either.

    (Also extreme weather events are significantly more frequent due to climate change, and resisting efforts to reduce climate change has been Republican policy for decades.)

  • I think there are free editors for LaTeX that show you the code and the end result next to each other, and let you edit either.

    You need to learn the ability to resist the urge to tweak layout. You're using a professional document preparation tool that well make your document look professional. Playing with trendy fonts and margins and placement is how regular people make documents in a word processor that look less professional than LaTeX.

    LaTeX gives you the respectability of the corporate style of the professional science researcher, but if you want free-form do-it-how-you-like, you really really really don't want LaTeX.

  • AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slower

    Jump

  • No, which is why I avoid regexes for most production code and also why I would never use one written by a pathological liar and always guessing coder like an LLM.

    LLM is great when you're coding in a pure fictional programming language like elm and are using loss of custom types to make impossible states unrepresentable, and the function you're writing could have been derived by the Haskell compiler, so mathematically the only possible way you could write it wrong is to use the wrong constructor, then it's usually right and when it's wrong either it doesn't compile or you can see it's chosen the wrong path.

    The rest of the time it will make shit up and when you challenge it, out will happily rewrite it for you, but there's no particular reason why it wouldn't make up more nonsense.

    Regexes are far easier to write than to debug, which is exactly why they're poison for a maintainable code base and a really bad use case for an LLM.

    I also wouldn't use an LLM for languages in which there are lots and lots of ways to go wrong. That's exactly when you need an experienced developer, not someone who guesses based on what they read online and no understanding, never learning anything, because, my young padawan, that's exactly what an LLM is, every day.

    Watch your LLM like a hawk.

  • The experienced developers in the study believed they were 20% faster. There's a chance you also measured your efficiency more subjectively than you think you did.

    I suspect that unless you were considerably more rigorous in testing your efficiency than they were, you might just be in a time flies when you're having fun kind of situation.

  • I was trying to think of some other meaning than 'drinks dispensary' for 'bar' and I couldn't think of a sensible reason for putting a bar in your shower for quite a while until I realised metal bar.

  • On top of that, it's an annoyingly disproportionate graphic. The cow is much wider than the human so its area is much more than 60% of the area of the graphic.

    The owl might be 3cm high and the hen 6cm high, but 9cm² and 36cm² would be the rough areas, even if it weren't for the fact that again, the hen picture is much, much wider than the owl.

    With 30% and 70%, the owl should just be a little under half as big as the hen, but it looks like about 1/4 or 1/5 of the size of the hen.
