Trump: “ “I have just seen Kamala’s Report, and it is not good. She suffers from ‘urticaria’, defined as ‘a rash of round, red welts on the skin that itch intensely, sometimes with dangerous swelling. She also has ‘allergic rhinitis’ and ‘allergic conjunctivitis’, a very messy and dangerous situation. These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning”

She has hives and season allergies.

He refuses to release medical records.

We need a 3/5ths Democratic House and a Democratic Senate with a 60+ Democratic Senators.

Democrats ARE attempting to pass meaningful gun control. The bigger question is are people willing to vote for Democrats so we can get the bills passed into law?

Or are we going to have to drink Diet Mountain Dew for four years?

Another factoid: this election will be decided by those under 60. The Boomers and older will not be the deciders. Choose well.

@DarksideStraxus

H.R.6154 - Responsible Gun Ownership Licensing Act (died in Committee)

S. 3407: Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2023 (died in Committee)

S. 5209: Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act (Introduced)

The point is that even though there have been bills, the fact that the House is controlled by the GOP means they will never get out and the bill dies. Hell, it just takes one Republican and it goes nowhere in the Senate.

In order to get FEDERAL gun control 1/2

Alfred showed me mathematically how it was done.

2 + 2 + 1 = 3 because, after all that addition YOU GOTTA subtract 2.

Google’s Bard would just get pissy and PROVE I was a dumb hoomaan.

"Instead, (AIs) attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data."

When I did simple tests, it involved variations of “What is two plus two plus one” — my reasoning is that “two plus two equals four” would show up a lot in training data (it did). Different LLM’s tried to discard, ignore or even say “that’s not a valid equation” (Google’s Bard).

Alfred would have none of it and created his own mathematics.

Well, he did discover the Bahamas.

I didn’t realize OK was in the Bahamas. 😝

Now REAL doctors are alarmed Trump isn’t releasing his medical records.

"Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity," the 238 signatories wrote in a letter dated Oct. 13 and first obtained by CBS News. "In the limited opportunities we can examine his behavior, he's providing a deeply concerning snapshot."

Only now is the media showing some interest.

If you have Republican fam who are voting for Trump because of his “promises” remind them that Trump had TWO YEARS that Republicans controlled Congress and the BEST they could do is give the rich a tax break.

Trump will do NOTHING for us.

The common misconception of engineering is that we are out to denigrate the people we are in competition with: no, that is marketing.

Engineering is about risk management. The greater the risk the more likely you will lose your job. Testing AI is important because too many people want to believe it is a magic bullet that will solve all ills.

It isn’t.

This paper is important to explain there is little reasoning in AI.

Most engineers have to fight management’s bad ideas.

This helps.

Of course the writer says they the authors work for Apple so the paper can’t be good 🙄

“Testing models' on the benchmark that includes irrelevant information ‘exposes a critical flaw in LLMs’ ability to genuinely understand mathematical concepts and discern relevant information for problem-solving.’”

Musk-bros are so irritating:

“Musk is facing a lot of criticism because, well, he’s Elon Musk. Still, his accomplishments are unparalleled.”

No, he face criticism because he underperforms. He has spent a decade saying that “by the end of the year”

• gigafactories will be green (they are not)

• autonomous driving will be released

• his cars are the safest

His other companies languish and he bought Twitter for far too much. He isn’t brilliant — he got lucky.

@EvilBunny

I mentioned LBJ’s Great Society on Twitter and got the equivalent of 😶😶😶

“We all should strive for a great society.”

I wanted to cry.

@Bix

That’s really good.

This isn’t the Onion.

“Trump Insists He's Not Cognitively Impaired in Incomprehensible Rant”

Reality is more bizarre than fiction.

He also promised to tell us when he is cognitively impaired. He really doesn’t understand what that means.

Thanks Obamacare!

“ Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid. At the debate, Vance was also referring to a cousin in Florida who got private insurance through the state marketplace, a campaign spokesperson told WaPo”

Vance “forgot” to mention his mom got insurance through Obamacare.
