I'm not one of those people Pete Buttigieg makes insane, but the idea that boy can't smell blood in the water better than a great white is crazy

No one of consequence. Maybe listen if I'm talking about structural engineering but you can safely ignore anything else.

Every One Weird Trick I've seen floated seem more likely to ensure a Trump victory. The only way to win is to win, so stop trying to convince us to play a different game we're worse at!

Earlier this week he was saying he knew better than us because he worked at the nyt and his uncle works for Nintendo and they know things we don't. Really think he should pick just 1 of these arguments.

Or consistent materials! HSS sections have nominal thickness less than the section name because the manufacturers are so good at hitting the minimum thickness consistently. Impossible until like 50 years ago

It would be good for the country if everyone mocked Sulzberger so hard that it was the only response to everything his paper printed. Like that mommy milky tweet but about how this dweeb thinks he's a baron

People who love dressing up messy gossip as hard hitting political news would love it. I'd hardly say that makes it a good choice for the party or the country.

I don't know if the nyt can prevent a president from being reelected because he doesn't give them an interview. I do know what we need to do to it if it can.

'someone I know' is not 'friend' so I think there is a pretty good chance this is someone who is professionally obligated to talk to her.

In fairness, that third point is something I heard from dipshits in 2022. I bet one of them 10k Biden wouldn't leave office immediately after the midterms. He welched.

This is always such a silly point, republicans aren't the ones growing our food, they're the ones who own the land/capital. And even if they did cut us off, every other part of the world is happy to buy services from us and sell us food.

Once you believe the dnc can clear the way for any candidate they want, it follows quickly they have a responsibility to do a good job with this. I guess he thinks they should have done for Dean Phillips whatever they did for Biden in 2020

This is true and why I've always thought the best Jedi shouldn't even use lightsabers, having advanced beyond physical fighting to purely spiritual. Except even if you do something like that drumming scene in the wailing this is not good for a popcorn flick

Not individuals, I mean I don't think it will significantly change the nature of any jobs. So that those types of role will still exist, if in slightly different ratios from before due to (I think only modest) productivity gains. So not world changing except it the way anything is

True, maybe I hold world changing to a higher standard than you. I would call a productivity gain that leaves all the existing economic roles in place (maybe slight resizing) not world changing. But maybe I'll sound like the people who thought the Internet was a neat little toy

LLMs remind me of 3D printing in that there is something there, but almost everything you see online about it is by someone with no understanding of what it is. No it won't let terrorists make nuclear weapons, no it can't replace in house council, that's not what it's for.

You've shifted from 'worse than millennials' to 'imperfect'. So my main advice is if the job is in food prep, medicine, civil or mechanical engineering, or anything where someone will die if you mess it up, you should not take it

Masks might become a shorthand for a narrow bit of time, like when you go through flashbacks and the Apollo mission is on in the background. George Floyd protests are probably better for that though
