At least LLMs are very often ready so acknowledge they might be wrong.

It can be incredibly hard to get a person to acknowledge that they might be remotely wrong on a topic they really care about.

Or, for some people, the thought that they might be wrong about anything attall is just like blasphemy to them.

F-Droid can also redistribute the signed upstream APK. The requirement for that is that the build is reproducible.

This is the best of both worlds because the distributor (F-Droid) verifies that the published source matches the binary but does not possess the private key to sign the APK. This means the distributor cannot push a backdoored binary blob at some later date.
The F-35 is the biggest Trojan horse but this problem has been getting bigger and bigger over the years. Everything dependent on GPS and even cruise missiles with components from another nation requiring the other nation to agree on the targets ( in general terms ). I’m talking about hugely expensive equipment “owned” but a country, not the other country refusing a new order. Ironically this has also been a similar problem inside the branches of the US Military, aka weapon DRM where the soldiers/technicians can’t even do a basic repair, they have to call “customer support”. The more the time passes the more the old truths make more sense: Never, ever be dependent on somebody else to defend yourself. Who knew the fricking France were right.. ;)
Via direct, tax-deductible monetary donations.

This just seems like a donation with complicated extra steps, in the same way that e.g. "rounding up to charity" or even "round up savings" do not appeal to me at all.

That might well be an idiosyncratic preference, and to some the idea of "planting trees via running web searches" might appeal much more than a nonprofit search engine that donates to a basket of charities, or one that directly pays the user for showing them ads and lets them decide what to do with the money and then the user donating the proceeds themselves.

But I'll add another side-anecdote: High-T men are more sexually driven, making them care more about appearance of women. What is that appearance? Wide hips and large other things too. All of which are a signal of more vital and healthy child bearing. So not only do they want more sex, they choose women which are more fertile to begin with. Not exactly rocket science, to make the logical connection there, and predict the outcome.
SpinWheelNames – I built a random name selector using AI pair programmin
I built SpinWheelNames as an experiment in AI-assisted development. The entire project was coded using Claude as a pair programming partner. I found the process fascinating - the AI helped generate the initial wheel animation code, suggested accessibility improvements I hadn't considered, and helped debug cross-browser issues.

The spinning wheel uses vanilla JavaScript with Canvas for animations, making it lightweight and mobile-friendly.

They probably just used now-outdated practices before those practices were outdated. This happened in the past, remember. Sure, the cloud is a thing today, but was the cloud such a thing 5, 10, 20 years ago? Do you really think it's their fault for not knowing in advance how much of a thing the cloud would one day become? Oh, how outdated. Sheesh.
> if they axed the entire opinion section and beefed up news coverage, that would be a win.

They're kind of doing the opposite though. They're stripping the text-based news coverage and replacing it with short form videos and podcasts.

I agree with you about opinion sections because somewhat worthless today though. The WSJ actually has great news coverage, even though the opinion columns are absolute garbage.

Which car you buy makes a significant difference to your life, but virtually zero difference to shareholders of the automaker

while this is true for a single person, of course the opposite is true if there is a significant movement (like the one that appears we are experiencing) if significant number of people stay away from a certain car brand.

also, on the personal note - I am a Tesla owner and have planned on replacing my 11-year Tesla S with a new Model Y, my wife said “over my dead body” :) hence, even on personal side the car buying can be a moral issue - not necessarily thinking “CEO will soon be homeless due to my purchase of lucid vs model y” but "I won't contribute a single penny to perhaps one of the most vile human beings that currently walks on Earth

I don’t know, none of this looks like evidence to me, just a series of things he’s said that didn’t come true. I would interpret a lot of these as optimistic predictions that didn’t come true, not outright lies.

A lie is something you say that you know is false. You can predict you’ll be able to do something, try and fail, and I would consider it a lie.

You could also build a website listing tons of things he predicted that did actually come true.

A higher minimum wage puts upward pressure on wages at the lower end of the scale, which helps the working class so that they aren't working and on medicare, section 8, food stamps etc. - as many Wal-mart workers currently are. That saves us money in the long run.

When Seattle raised the minimum wage to $15/hour, everyone screamed it would lead to mass unemployment. That never happen. Suddenly the lower class had more money to spend, which boosted the economy as much or more than higher wages hurt bottom lines.

As I recall none of the big polls the mainstream media was pushing projected Trump to win. They even refused to call the election until the wee hours of the morning, when the results were pretty clear. Just like in 2016, the polls were intended to deceive people into thinking there was no hope for an alternative candidate.
Free speech does not make you immune to consequences. Of course you're free to do X, you just have to decide whether or not to pay the price of the consequence.

I literally have no idea how you've come up with such a crazy take on things.
Feel free to reply and we can chat more as I've thought deeply about this topic. Here are some cliff notes though if you want a quick answer (say for calibration).

1. Dod labs and defense contractors are great places to dive into topics pending you are inexpensive. You will likely be paired with other people who can sit and thinking deeply with you. As you progress though, you will be pushed into management, forced to being in money, and pulled many ways preventing your deep thinking. This is when most good scientists leave.

2. Be confident in your job search about what you are looking for. Don't be afraid to say you want 85% deep technical work and 15% reporting to stakeholders. This will be polarizing to a lot of employers but those who want you will quickly scoop you up when u get connected to them.

3. The market is terrible for r and d right now across almost all sectors. Most r and d labs are looking 3-6 months out which means they want people qoth a specific background to build prototypes amd fail quickly. This will be existing scientists in the company but rarely any new hires. i interviewed at Amazon and found this to be the case as an example (I turned down the role).

4. Wait until the market improves but keep looking while doing item 2.

Good luck.
In that case, I stand corrected.

Here's how 538 explains how they factor in bias into their grading:

> Think about this another way. If most polls in a race overestimate the Democratic candidate by 10 points in a given election, but Pollster C's surveys overestimate Republicans by 5, there may be something off about the way Pollster C does its polls even if its accuracy is higher. We wouldn't necessarily expect it to keep outperforming other pollsters in subsequent elections since the direction of polling bias bounces around unpredictably from election to election.

It is exciting. The life's work of a dozen people.

Imagine proving the entire IT business field, Silicon Valley and computer science wrong: you can write a complete operating system and all the functionality of the mayor apps (word processing, graphics, spreadsheets, social media, WYSIWYG, browsers) and the hardware it runs on in less than 20000 lines of (high level language) code. They achieved it a few times before in 10000 lines (Smalltalk-80 and earlier versions), a little over 20000 (Frank) and 300000 lines (Squeak/Etoys/Croquet) and a few programmers in a few years.

Not like Unix/Linux/Android/MacOS/iOS or Windows in hundreds of millions of lines of code but in orders of magnitude less.

They have to claim it was hard to predict, because they deliberately led people to believe that the establishment-favored candidate was going to win. They knew better the whole time but hoped to help their candidate by making the situation look hopeless for the true popular choice.

That's not how confidence scares work though. A panicked flee from the market doesn't end with somebody going "oh it'll be okay", it's a very different buyer trying to buy the dip.

My point is this will be different people, different money, and likely not as fast to return as it leadenly dropped out.
If authorities think she should be deported, then deport her. Imprisonment is perverse, it is literally the most expensive option.
There is only one way to enforce the law, which is to enforce it upon learning of all the circumstances, both in favour and not in favour of the accused. The fact that you are not familiar with the law never protects you by design ("oh sorry, I never realised I wasn't allowed to just take their bike and ride away") — so it's upon the courts to make judgement on the entire set of circumstances.

The problem with any immigration service in the world is that they are dealing with non-citizens which lack most protections citizenship would have given them — which means that it may take its sweet time before courts actually hear her defense and probably decide as you suggest (along with introducing a 3 or 5 year ban on entering the US).

Not that I'm claiming this for this particular discussion, but a lot of people in favor of what is happening in the USA want to justify what's going on by claiming this was some sort of overwhelming political sweep in this country instead of being a close race at all levels (roughly handful of votes in House and Senate to achieve parity).

How bad is the best inertial navigation is? From what i see it would be pretty sufficient for civilian aviation (for fighter jets doing bunch of turns, etc. that would be different of course) to get into the vicinity of the destination airport. Add correction by stars/Sun - any plane on long flight would get above clouds any way - and you'd get the precision of a modern ICBM - like 30m or so. Who needs GPS then? :) May be it is the time to make a startup to produce such a navigational device?

That's 18 dollars I was willing to donate without anything in return, so that they maybe perhaps possibly would implement this feature. Which is a lot more money than 100% of FOSS users are willing to contribute.

With paid apps you get exactly the features you pay for, you get customer support, and you get a fair and polite exchange.

It is already a lot for people to swallow to be asked to donate in advance for a feature you need, without any guarantee or even likelihood that it is going to be implemented. But it's a whole different level to put a minimum amount of $20 for such a donation.

I'm just telling my experience as an end-user, and why I avoid FOSS at all costs. Maintainers have only themselves to blame for the situation they've put themselves in.
