As European but not German or Czech I couldn't care less about where my car was made. The idea of a 'local' car doesn't really exist, when there is no car industry in your own country.
> Democrats: you won't win by claiming to be 0.1% less bad

It's been confusing since the first trump term how many dems held this position. How can you call trump obviously reprehensible and irredemable... and then lose?

I made the mistake of debating politics with a then-friend who called all 75 million trump voters "drooling fucktards". Word?

We don't talk anymore
It's dissatisfying that he could win, but it's not the first time, so I've already accepted a long time ago that the world is not what I wish it to be.

In that context, I am more curious what his policies will be because even though he rides different waves of general discontent in society, ultimately he doesn't care about anything except the economy and money. So I think he will double down on tariffs, but some things are irreversible - saving the e.g. coal mining industry is a lost cause and he'll throw those people down the drain because it doesn't make economic sense anymore. What I am most curious about is how he'll handle Biden's policies with regards to blocking acquisitions on monopoly prevention grounds.

Also the markets are not open in the US, but over here in Europe they're already skyrocketing. So "Wallstreet" is expecting massive growth in what is already quite an inflated market.
If readers of this thread aren't familiar with the Thiel connection, you need to hear the journalist Whitney Webb's work. She's brilliant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMYdu-vTuPI - "The REAL Reason Behind J.D. Vance’s VP Pick; Marty sits down with Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin to discuss the partnership of the private tech sector with the surveillance state."

It's a two hour interview. Discussion of JD Vance and Palantir connection is at 12:30ish. A lot of "tin-foil hat" things seem pretty real.
Did anyone else feel like the incessant texts from political spammers made you not want to vote the candidate spamming you? Having to block 5 new numbers every time I picked up my phone for the past month was really frustrating.
It's usually a good thing that the heart sits inside a boney cage. Not so much when you're trying to coax it into action.
> Democracy only works when voters are informed.

Since most people in the world aren't informed nor wants to be informed, are you saying democracy doesn't work in the real world?
It's an observation on what it takes to win for this particular "side", not a moral comparison of the two.
It's coming. Left vs right, rich vs poor, socialism vs capitalism, men vs women, LGBTQ* vs straight, immigrant vs native, religion vs religion (amongst those who still have faith, with the rest as collateral).

As an apolitical person, I've been pretty down and worried about the near future for the last 15-20 years in this post-truth society. The more science and data we have, the more we throw away the rational and retreat into our own emotional blind spots and dark psychological hang-ups. Across the board.

But this too shall pass.
In all fairness, as an EU citizen, if I was American I'd vote Trump. The Harris campaign was very weak and built on identity politics that as we saw is a double edged sword. And why should USA care about Europe? I mean, yes, unfortunate for Ukraine, but it's not necessarily their problem, no matter how much people make it out to be. We in Europe need to grow some balls and not be dependent on who is the next US president.
Trump seemed to have a head start early on, it really didn't feel like a close call somehow.
> But other one???

is not a sentence.
It's not insulting millions, it's absolutely factual. All the comment you replied to was describing is Trump himself, and millions still voted for the guy. As to WHY they voted for him, I'm sure journalists/analysts/pundits will overflow us with reasons.
Trump politics without a Trump personality doesn't work. The closest they'll get to emulating Trump is getting somebody like Jeb to awkwardly cuss a few times.
And apparently they cancelled their fab in Germany.
Last time Trump tried, it ended up costing farmers tens of billions. That time (2018) the tariffs were under 30%, this time around, he's promised 60%.
I think there's something to be said about the value of a calculated protest vote.

For young men, who doesn't feel that the Democrats are offering them a world view where they are valued at all, why should they vote Democrat? Maybe at some level they realize that Trumps policies are worse for them in some ways than Harris'. But when Harris loses despite Trump being such an awful candidate it sends a very powerful message to the Democrats: you can't just keep ignoring a huge portion of the population and make them feel like they're not valued in society.

People put self-worth above almost anything else except self-preservation.
Why not? I'd argue a racist or misogynist would make it worse for society than a pedophile (mainly because I think there is a very strong notion of protecting kids in society, but a less stronger notion when it comes to minority groups or women).

Do you think a president would make bad policy choices because they are secretly attracted to minors?
No it's not. "a [human] life" and "life" are completely different things. For example: a tree
Fiscally conservative countries (Germany, the Netherlands and others in the Frugal Four) in the EU have for a long time preached countries must "balance their budgets". Now Germany balanced too hard and didn't invest enough, their car companies are experiencing a decline while the Chinese companies are growing, and the rest of their industry got addicted to cheap gas which isn't available anymore. The UK left the EU. And the EU is incapable of creating large tech companies.
If at all possible, I am perfectly fine with a diminishing role of the US in world politics.
Ukraine has the motive, means and opportunity to rapidly develop nuclear weapons. From a military analyst I have reason to trust due to long term accuracy and lack of click bait, "months" rather than years.

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed by Belarus, Khazakstan, Ukraine, Russia, the US, and the UK, obliging respect for signatories' borders and sovereignty, territorial integrity, economic security… is also what put Ukraine into the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The UK is just developed country facing the same problems associated with an aging population as every other developed country (and also many developing countries—sucks for them...). There's absolutely nothing special about the UK and if the UK is a failed state then so too is Germany (where I live) and the rest of Europe, and the only "successful" countries on the planet are the US, Switzerland and a handful of microstates.
It's the same with all crimes, sure you can theoretically get away with the perfect crime. But you only have to make one mistake to get caught.

Re-use a username, accidentally log in to something as yourself, forget to turn on the VPN, etc.

Just for some lolz which could result in prison time.
Discord, though?
Well, can you think of any reason why those young women didn't want to consider and understand the "opposing view"?

Their rights are literally being stripped away, with threats of more. Even without that, the "opposing view" is voting for a convicted rapist, known pedophile, weirdly incestuous with his daughter, incapable of forming a coherent sentence, complete lack of understanding about any complex topic such as economy, admitted to spreading lies on many ocassions, started an insurrection, and on and on and on.

For literally anyone sane, any of those reasons individually would be totally disqualifying in a candidate. Let alone for people such as young women who have a lot to personally lose from a misogynist rapist promising to strip their rights. (If you haven't being paying attention, abortion restrictions have resulted in women dying of preventable reasons because doctors are afraid to do anything which might be interpreted as an abortion, even if the pregnant woman is dying in front of them from sepsis due to an unviable pregnancy; add in the threat of removing non-fault divorces, and it's genuinely scary).
I think GP is right though.

Real sexism is way more present among middle-class/white-collar workers (whatever their gender is) than between blue collar workers. You will have poorly worded jokes from your coworkers, but the ass-grab or demeaning remarks will always be from managers (the kind of manager who don't know the trade or inherited the job) or customers.
Europe is able to change political course much more gradually: the EU is 27 countries, and the EU Parliament is elected with proportional voting systems which leads to coalitions and compromise.

A 10% increase in 'right' votes means roughly 10% more influence for the 'right' opinions.

In the USA, a tiny increase in 'right' votes means 100% more influence.
Racists don't need shaming into silence. They need to understand what's wrong with their beliefs.

Going back to the original quote, you need to see that it's not calling all voters a particular thing. There's a simple Venn diagram, one circle of racists inside a larger circle of a particular block of voters.

Educating people out of racism, and removing racism from your society, will change votes as racism is only one aspect of a person's beliefs.
The current president was ousterd by the part because it was becoming hard to pretend he even have a clue of where the hell he is. Last election he talked all type of absurd shit during campaing, and democrats didnt even bat an eye. Actually he was the perfect puppet for them. Do you really think it was not Kamala and the resto fo the people in charge of the democrat party thhat really rulled in place of Biden?
If that happens then the economy will collapse since a large amount of the growth in 20th century was due to integrating women into the work force. All I see from the Trump campaign is a policy so chock full of contradictions it won't lead to anything but a political explosion. And then they'll be an opportunity for some real change.
And those top-wage earners are college aged liberal women and not old rich conservative white dudes?
same initial prompt, different temperature and max_new_token settings.

Surely the system allocator provides memalign() or similar? Does Windows not have one of those?
They used common english words arranged in simple sentence structures.
Mostly because "they're stupid" is a lazy argument that ignores why you think they're stupid. You can say "Well, they voted against their best economic interests," assuming they're all net recipients of government cash, but they say they don't want to be, and they want to dismantle executive departments they perceive as wasteful. You can say "They're violent," but Trump campaigned on being the peace-negotiator who didn't start any wars, and Harris had no real response to that. You can say "He hates women," but there are apparently enough women who are either pro-life or didn't see abortion as the main campaign issue. Harris's commercials said "We want change," but she's the incumbent! If change didn't happen by now, why would it four years from now?
> No thanks, Ill take anything that isn’t involuntary labor

And involuntary restrictions of basic freedoms like what and when to eat and where and when to sleep.
I mean, from the post it looks like you are the first one tackling this problem.

It could help a section where you go through a pros&cons analysis with other competitors.

It seems that the web/2010+ era is not good at creating coherent information / pedagogy. We have access to a lot more data, but most people end up regressing as followers of tiktok celebs. Internet created an anthropoligical wild west.
You know also immigration, price at the supermarket which yes is part of Biden inflation and also the assignation attempts. How quickly we forget.
I genuinely don’t understand. I really hope I am wrong, but I believe we are about to enter a post-truth state.
Oh definitely. I would've been more clear - I meant: you still can't stop there and you'll need a third-party to take the traffic with either solution.
Deep learning is easy to adapt to various domains, use cases, training criteria. Other approaches do not have the flexibility of combining arbitrary layers and subnetworks and then training them with arbitrary loss functions. The depth in deep learning is also pretty important, as it allows the model to create hierarchical representations of the inputs.
My point precisely. We seem to forget Churchill's famous dictum that "no one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time".

I am for democracy because everything else is worse, but that doesn't mean I need to delude myself that "the majority is always" right or some nonsense like that. Yet the latter seems to be an increasingly common talking point, I've noticed.
> they were just pushing "get out the vote" but no substantial reasons as to why.

That's the focus of any canvasser, not just the young women you did not like.
I can't speak for OP, but typically "Refugee Bad" is a stance I see regularly among rightwingers.

We really do need a rebuild of the Civilian Conservation Corp, which built out massive infrastructure in the US. Not Potemkim style infra like ghost cities, but infra that is needed and useful. Bridges, dams, solar and wind, dikes, etc. Paired with effective economic and trade policy and you get a golden age for a few decades.

People contributing to the economy and building infrastructure results in a lot of knock on benefits.
I’m sure there will be masses of folks moving to rural areas to pick up those sweet, sweet agricultural jobs that pay $5/hr under the table, or do repetitive precision PCB assembly all day for $1.25/hr and 80hr 6-day work weeks.
They do fall short, but progress in this field is not linear. This is the bit that I struggle to comprehend - that which was literally infeasible only a few years ago is now mocked and derided.

It’s like jet engines and cheap intercontinental travel becoming an inevitability once the rubicon of powered flight is crossed - and everyone bitching about the peanuts while they cruise at inconceivable speed through the atmosphere.
Use that to their advantage by telling the truth or by lying?

Hitler was vegetarian back when that was very unusual, and post-war the vegetarian movement in the UK was set back significantly as a result.
> They didn't look to come for fun during that coup, they looked pretty serious.

They wherent even armed... what a shit coup.
Ignoring the issue and calling everyone nazi or fascist is precisely why the democrats lost today. Hey, at least you have 4 years to learn your lesson
I like that anger! Now that you can't postpone the inevitable, maybe you'll actually have to do something about it instead of wasting your time and energy whining about it.
Looking from afar, the dominating far left elements of the DNC have been actively hostile to unmarried white men, and completely disconnected from young men (who don't fit into a very narrow mold of acceptability) in general.
The dumber the people, the more they love Trump. It's a legit strategy, but I never thought people who'd benefited from American' education would buy into this shit and pull up the ladder!
Does `open` give focus? It used to, but since a few releases ago the app opens in the background, which is pretty annoying.

My poor workaround is to use osascript: `tell application "System Events" to set frontmost of process "Finder" to true`
those people don't care, in fact they embrace the identity
His policies were terrible. He broke off several key international treaties. He instituted the family separation policy. He broke down federal institutions that could have helped fight COVID.

In what way was he better on spending? He managed to increase the deficit every single year, even before COVID.

> He might speak like a crazy person.

He does speak like a crazy person. He advocates for crazy policies. People from his administration are crazy people and advocate for crazy policies.
I wouldn't say the BBC is partisan...They called it for Vance: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y0863ry88o

Overall though do agree it was a fairly close debate not particularly one-sided.

Will say if guys like Vance & DeSantis are the future of the GOP that a significant upgrade over Trump.

I still don't quite understand why DeSantis fared so poorly w/ the GOP for this election. He appears to be far more competent/palatable than Trump but here are.
I think it is because people who think or say "what about me?" hear "what about me?" from others as if it's support of their own view, when really their core issues could be totally different. "Yeah, what about us?"

As opposed to "we need to help everyone, especially highly victimized groups". And then people infight over which groups require more attention vs everyone else.
I honestly expected more, especially more specifics, but I recognize I'm biased. The reason I asked, is that nobody really knows when you ask them, which is what surprises me often. You needed to send me a link as well.

Of all those, I really like the insulin one.

I guess people in America have different priorities than the accomplishments on that list.
Why is it a delusion, in your opinion?
If working for a large enterprise has taught me anything, it’s that the front end has no clue what the tail is doing.
The accomplished politicians seem to struggle a bit because they have a history of being terrible. It isn't like Trump came out of nowhere - it has been most of a decade now and when he won in 2016 that was on the back of backlash that had obviously been brewing for a long time. It was notable in 2016 that he had to knock out Bushes and Clintons from the presidential race who visibly couldn't wring compelling support out of their insider status. The Bush family name was more of a serious liability because of the family history of, you know, the Bush years. Trump's most memorable line of attack on Jeb Bush was making callbacks to how bad George's tenure was (which isn't entirely fair, but it does go a long way to showcasing why being an "accomplished politician" is a handicap given how badly US policy has been playing out for the last few decades).

If the US political class had a history of success then being an accomplished politician might be a tick on the report card, but in practice it seems to mean that they have sympathies to the military-industrial complex and a number of extractive lobby groups.
Galloway has been harping on this for awhile. Check the Democrats website and it lists who they are for. All groups are there including women, but nothing about men or young men. I heard a blurb on the news last night that college aged men broke heavily towards Trump.
Constantly lying, grifting, and being a convicted felon somehow is only worth 0.1%...

Anything of the shit Trump has done would be an immediate disqualification for anyone else, yet everything constantly gets a shrug.
Well, be assured, the rest the world see the fact that americans vote via mail and dont demand id cards to vote as a joke.
Yes.

In my opinion, it's very simple. I became a one issue voter after one of the candidates tried to obstruct the process (violently), the last time. That's antithetical to America. It's ironic because it's the type of thing that happens in the "shithole countries" that we're so focused on keeping out (I say this as a person who thinks immigration reform with strong structure is long needed).

Rewarding Trump by giving him the keys is stupid if you can even muster the courage to say you believe in anything America stands for.
- Declining manufacturing

- declining GDP

- higher (st?) energy prices across the board

- dependency on the US for energy and defense

- unelected EU government
That is a pithier formulation of the widely accepted summary of "more data + more compute + algo improvements"
I'm not American, no need to insult me. Also, I don't agree :)
Given what democrats stand for, you don't even have to be charismatic to push them into a corner.
Any candidate who will shout anti trans anti illegal immigrantion talking points will always carry the day
AFAIK now the ram gets to be way closer this way (which is why the M series gets to destroy everyone on benchmarks where it can show off that).

I think that it'd be cool to have that memory become an L4 cache and still have cheaper ram as a backing store with more capacity to fence off the CPU from the abysmal latencies that SSDs and, satan forbids, HDDs have.
Isn't "Dune" said once in both of the Villeneuve movies?
But the question is will they move from a Java UI to a native windows UI, all else being equal. What if the Java UI is better ? What if the Java application is better
Your understanding of statistics is deplorable. Also, your reading ability. I specifically said it's racism, rather than the (verifiable) lack of intelligence.
Just like me /s
Idk about Theo Von, but Rogan put his thumb on the scale when he refused to interview Harris even though he interviewed Trump.
European here (French, been helping Ukraine since the full scale invasion started).

We have no business relying on the US anymore. They are too far gone. Their political rhethorics are polluted by Russian propaganda. (Just look at the rest of the comments here...)

It's time to get busy defending ourselves. Time for a war effort that doesn't involve merely wearing flag pins or doing cute street protests.

We need to be funding our own defence. We need to be sending actual troops in Ukraine, not just weapons. No more of this sidelines bullshit.
They're both? But the upper-middle class is far larger than the legitimate bourgeoisie, so they're class interests count for a lot more in politics.
> Now this feels like a rigged election.

As a fellow democrat, lose with some grace.
In essence, yes. I'm saying that Trump's narrative on women is no worse than societies default. Women experience far worse things than macho talk. It takes more to alienate a lot of them.
An unravelling, as myriad possibilities become actualities. The advances in innumerate fields that ML will unlock will have enormous impacts.

Again, I cannot understand for the life of me how people cannot see this.
The sad thing is that there isn't anything "left" in that "far left". It's just misandry without the socialism.
I dont know, 4 years are hard to predict. I can see the current crisis in the world deepening and people search for a more traditional politician for that reason, like somoone more predictable in times of uncertain?

Not that I think the next 4 years of Trump will be bad for the avarage american. I think I will be troubled for the whole world because things are already walking in this direction.
