With Claude Code I often have multi-second freezes and it’s process blows up to gigabytes of memory.

I am in a mood where I find it excessively funny that, all that talk about AI, agents, billions of dollars, tera-watts/-hours spent, and people still manage to publish posts with the "its/it's" mistake.

(I am not a native English speaker, so I notice it at a higher rate than people who learned English "by ear".)

Maybe you don't care or you find it annoying to have it pointed out, but it says something about fundamentals. You know, "The way you do one thing is the way you do all things".

Oh yeah, and that's why the Democrats were able to win full control of Congress, the Senate and the presidency...

Wait

Which is it? The MAGA people tried many lawsuits and many appeals to voting authorities for investigations. The unanimous response “safest election ever”.

What you handwave as "the unanimous response" has in reality been dozen of trials, where the people pretending there has been election fraud weren't able to offer any proof, and some were even held in contempt for refusing to substantiate their baseless claims in front of a judge.

This is a reporting of the facts, not an opinion piece.

A better society for who?

You are no better, my friend.

I resent them for their choices and their dishonesty. Things they chose to be and could change if they were open to discussion in good faith - which they refuse.

They resent me and millions of others for my skin color or my sexual orientation or where I was born. Things I never chose and can't change.

And the gerrymandering, and changing the census, etc., etc.

It won't be cancelling national elections. It will be "suspending" a few local ones, enough to tilt the balance, and then using any excuse - e.g. "antifa", but any protest is enough - to escalate, to justify, progressively, a military clampdown.

I wouldn't be so sure about a lack of military pushback

Again, Ashley Babbitt received full military honors for trying to overrun security at the Capitol to attack congressmen and women to overturn the election. That's what happened. Nobody has said anywhere in the military "it's wrong".

The "status quo" is that the president, immune from any prosecution, is saying openly he is ready to use soldiers to shoot at American citizens when he gives the order, and anyone who disobeys will be fired.

Assuming the voting and election situation doesn't change, they won't be in office forever, possibly even the next term.

Trump pardoned all of the Jan 6th putchists.

Trump ordered full military honor for Ashley Babbitt.

Trump put openly said after meeting Putin that more than ever, he believes the 2020 elections were rigged.

Trump appointed an election denier as the secretary for "Election Integrity".

Trump appointed pure servile hacks as heads of FBI, CIA and Justice (I mean, Kash write a book with Trump as a king).

Trump ordered 800 military brass to come to Quantico to be lectured about the "Enemy from within", turn American cities into military training grounds and that anyone that disappoints him will lose everything.

I mean, how many more clues do you need, to admit the next election will be cancelled as soon as they lose? He literally said what he was going to do. And there has been no pushback, neither from the military nor parliamentarians.

Yes, I know, I can read the very link I shared.

Do you seriously think Kirk is only accusing the "four people" - four successful black women - of "steal[ing] a white person's slot" and just these four? Only these four? That this is the message he is sending?

He accused four successful black women of "steal[ing] a white person's slot", and guys here are desperately trying to pretend it only applies to these four persons.

Pathetic.

"If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 13 July 2023

And a black writer (the last black colomnist at WaPo) has been purged for literally quoting Kirk.

But again, my point isn't to dish anecdotes. If we want to set a standard, norms, we have to get more than one data point.

Those lists are pointless if we can't see exactly for what words those people have been fired.

If my employee makes a slur against "n*ggers" while he has black coworkers, it is not the same thing as simply copy-pasting Kirk's own words on gun violence being an acceptable consequence of the 2nd amendment.

Europe has laws against hate speech that Americans think reach too far, but the positive side effect is that employers are not the one doing the calls - which they do instantly, under pressure, without any chance for the employees to defend themselves. A European firm has no basis to fire an employee until a court has reached a conclusion - the best they can do is suspend the employee.

""Really, this is as much the fault of the SPD as of the NSDAP, both are to blame for this", I think, while the Obersturmführer's dogs tear down the prisoner next to me."

Alas, this is the same argument that can be used against the 1st amendment and the political opposition: "Rejoicing in Kirk's death is immoral, therefore the 1st amendment doesn't apply, and let's abusively prosecute anyone we can tie to him in any way".

The Reichtag fire was caused by a Communist militant- at the time where "Communist" meant litterally "Stalinist".

Even if the Charlie Kirk murderer was a crimson red trans gay pedophilic crypto scammer and card-carrying Democrat personally instructed and paid by Obama, the point here is "using him as a pretext to destroy all opposition under false pretense".

Randomized controlled trials are not a silver bullet. There is a reason why meta-analyses spend a good amount of ink sorting out and excluding RCTs for lack of power or other design mistakes.

Just read Look to Windward to see how wrong you are. Banks knows very well that hell is paved with good intentions.

Elections happen in Turkey, Russia and even North Korea.

Elections will happen in the USA, but only if they give the right answer. Didn't you get the memo that there is massive fraud, that voter rolls have to be purged (and are already purged in some states), that gerrymandering is normal, and that this is war?

Do you think Kash Patel, Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard are just there to do their job honestly and independently? That they are just firing people left and right (mostly left, and not enough right) just because of incompetence? Do you think the Jan 6th coupists were pardoned only by magnanimity, and the military honours ordered for Ashli Babbitt are just there because Trump has a bleeding heart?

the practical limitation

That... Wouldn't be tolerated if this was a 2nd amendment right. Imagine the same limitations applied to firearms.

He can you find him not racist, when he is clearly so, and antisemitic, and generally xenophobic all around?

Kirk controlled most of his communication but the mask falls when he is around people on his "side" (podcasts or events).

We sorely lack Creationist AI.

What "next election cycle"?

You still don't understand what is happening?

Yeah, nitrogen chemistry, high-concentration hydrogen peroxyde is already fairly restricted, as well as poisons.

Including in the US. The "right to bear arms" doens't cover high-energy explosives.

nobody had any explanation for why flu "disappeared"

The flu didn't disappear, and we know very well why it almost disappeared: it is far less contagious than SARS-CoV-2, and masking and the huge dip in international travel stopped it.

It's a hypothesis

Here in Switzerland (and in France), it hasn't been presented by pediatrics societies as an hypothesis at all, but as a fact and the main argument to reopen immediately. It has also been used again and again to explain the huge waves of infections of many illnesses that surged after the end of lockdowns, and absolutely none of them ever quoted that "immune debt is just an hypothesis", and none of them have suggested any other alternative hypothesis such as "SARS-CoV-2 has a detrimental effect on the immune system or health in general".

Because to admit so would be to admit the mass infection of children had been a massive mistake on their part.

I don't like to resort to appeal to authority, but the article quotes Ashish Jha (hardly a Covid minimizer) as dismissing the "immune damage" narrative

And Jha has no explanation for the increased, sustained (and now synchronised) waves of infections and illnesses that are plain to see. He has nothing. This is the fiasco of "masks aren't proven to work" again.

something that was never a serious claim

And yet was claimed again and again by e.g. pediatrics societies in Switzerland and France to justify ending every restrictions (thereby mass contaminating children before they could be vaccinated, and contributing to more spread and more mutations of the virus)
