Pretty sure this is true, also I was in school in the 80s and this definitely wasn’t true then. The kids with autism were all in “special ed” classes.

I say it’s a nitpick because I share the scepticism that AI can actually do that thing.

This is a nitpick, as in general I agree with you, but the part about workers getting jobs in other fields is a fairly standard part of economic growth—the assumption is that the new jobs will be higher-value than the ones that are replaced, in the same way that 98% of people aren’t farmers.

The problem is it’s hard to make the case for Harris affirmatively while she is VP without looking like she is trying to push Biden out—especially right now.

Firstly, the implications of the President having a blank check to violate the law are far more serious than the implications of an ex-President being harassed. Secondly, this ruling makes it far more likely that Biden will be harassed because it loosens the restraints.

Not that much. The President doesn’t have any powers today that he didn’t last week. I mean don’t get me wrong, this is still bad and likely to have terrible outcomes! It removes any check on the abuse of those existing powers other than impeachment, and we have seen the limits there.

No, while the ruling is terrible it is not quite this terrible. “Official acts” need to concern the authority of the Presidency in some way. The Presidency has no new powers; the problem is that the President cannot be held accountable for abusing the ones he has.

Based on this letter the DA agrees. This is just agreeing to let Trump make his argument, and giving them the time to respond to it.

No, because it has to be something that arguably falls within the powers of the presidency. Drone strikes (as CinC) would be a different matter. Now, a military officer could and actually should refuse that order, but Biden couldn’t be prosecuted for it or for firing people until someone agrees.

OK, you aren’t concerned. That’s fine. My point is that it is not surprising that it has been raised as an issue, and it has definitely been raised as a concern with other world leaders younger than Biden. That’s all. US political leadership in general is really, really old.

The number is raw probability of death, not factoring in individual health care (which would reduce the risk, as the President obviously has access to the best). They both report on their health status although Trump’s reports are what you would expect from Trump.

In practice I agree it’s a net wash—Biden is older but in better health, and the age gap isn’t that significant.

The thing is there’s a legit question not only on how he is doing today but the risk of deterioration or death in the next four years—which is statistically significant! There is something like a 25% chance of either one dying in office in the next term.

I think it is relevant—but also telling that it rarely gets raised about Trump who is only slightly younger.

Exactly, the point of the maxim is to set aside “intent” and look at outcomes. Diagnose the system based on the results it produces.

I don’t think it was planned, but yes. At best it was an accidental balance of his not wanting to do lockdowns and eventual panic when it looked like disaster was about to strike.

Yes I am aware. But Ford always looked like he was forced into it as a last resort and obviously didn’t wanna. So he didn’t get the blame.

There are some significant differences in Canadian political culture; we don’t have the same deep-rooted hard core individualism for lack of a better term; but also have you noticed how much certain groups hate Trudeau? It’s that.

That’s exactly the point of POSIWID, though. The outcomes are what matters, not the intent.

Actually a better way of describing it is that the narcissist gets high on their own supply. The bullshit is as much or more for them than it is for others.

Yes. The bullshitter is making noises so as to confuse reality, but is aware that there is such a thing. For the narcissist their bullshit is the reality.

Yes, been there and it was one insane experience. I had a boss who tried to get me to agree to rewrite my employment contract, to allow him to restrict who I could work for and what I could say, AFTER I had handed in my notice.

Plus this is a state crime, so there’s not a lot of ways to get to the US Supreme Court—I think he would have to show a constitutional violation of his rights, no?

Yes (it’s business related in my case). They will need to understand the situation, develop a model, analyze the model and identify needed recommendations. I’ve found that LLMs can spit out the obvious stuff but struggle to address a specific situation.

LLMs aren’t good at drawing logical connections—so for the subjects I teach you can provide a case study, ask for analysis of that case, and plans of action based on the analysis. By the time you get to step 3 or 4 the LLM will slide into vagueness or hallucinations.

I realized this week that all the maturity models out there are not only ripping off CMMI, but they’re doing it incorrectly and CMMI actually is better thought out than the imitators.

This is where I ended up. Create the assignment in a way that requires actual thought and then grade accordingly. It’s very hard to prove the use of AI but AI-written text waffles and avoids specifics, and you can penalize that.

Yes, including communities like Africville in Nova Scotia. As a very side note here, a friend of mine taught Drake in high school, although he says that Drake didn’t really stand out either positively or negatively.
