Cuz it's a motion to table a motion to reconsider terminating the national emergency by which Donny introduced the tariffs. Lots of double negatives here.

Here's the motion if anyone's curious: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00226.htm

Every D voted in favor of lifting the tariffs, to be fair. McConnell is a soon to be corpse that everybody knew wasn't gonna vote. This was a fuckin shoo-in. However, out of the blue, Whitehouse decided to go chill in a PC Bang somewhere in South Korea. Somehow, super conveniently, Democrats didn't have enough to get this shit to pass. By 1 (one) vote. Democrats aren't just useless. They are just useless enough.

Gang, if you still don't believe that Dems are controlled opposition, I don't know what to tell you.

Gotta say, that was surprisingly hard to watch.

Zelenskyy was gonna get screamed at no matter what. This is just a matter of controlling the narrative and manufacturing consent to stop military aid.

Be that as it may, we know that the majority of readers wouldn't read past the title. Knowing this, NewsWeek still decided to not include the name of the anti-trump podcast which dethroned Joe Rogan's podcast. I think this is the bias that they are referring to.

Damn, I forgot about the teaching aspect of programming. Must be hard. I can't blame students for taking shortcuts when they're almost assuredly swamped with other classwork and sleep-deprived, but still. This is where my defeatist comment comes in, because I genuinely think LLMs are here to stay. Like autocomplete, but dumber. Just gotta have students recognize when ChatGPT hallucinates solutions, I guess.

Look, ultimately the problem is the same as it has always been: juniors doing junior shit. There's just more of it going on. If you're hiring one, you put a senior on them ready to extinguish fires. A good review process is a must.

Now that I think about it, there was this one time the same young'un I was talking about tried to commit this insane subroutine that was basically resizing a vector in the most roundabout way imaginable. Probably would have worked, but you can also just use the resize method, y'know? In retrospect, that was probably some Copilot bullshit, but because we have a review process in place, it was never an issue.

I'm a little defeatist about it. I saw with my own 3 eyes how a junior asked ChatGPT how to insert something into an std::unordered_map. I tell them about cppreference. The little shit tells me "Sorry unc, ChatGPT is objectively more efficient". I almost blew a fucking gasket, mainly cuz I'm not that god damn old. I don't care how much you try to convince me that LLMs are efficient, there is no shot they are more efficient than opening a static page with all the info you would ever need. Not even considering energy efficiency. Utility aside, the damage we have dealt to developing minds is irreversible. We have convinced them that thought is optional. This is gonna bite us in the ass. Hard.

I didn't know about this so I checked out the Wikipedia article. Wild shit, I tell you.

Yarl sought help at three different homes before someone finally complied.[14] Neighbors had found him lying injured in the street and called police, who found him with at least two gunshot wounds to the head and arm.[13]

The district attorney stated there was a "racial component" to the case.[3] Assistant prosecuting attorney Alexander Higginbotham clarified that "there is not a racial element to the legal charges that were filed". Legal experts noted this was likely because a hate crime charge would have carried a lower maximum sentence.

I couldn't agree more. Forced labor camps for the citizenry is totally ok, but you don't just fuck with the bag. Eli Lilly, Astra Zeneca, Pfizer & friends won't allow even the restriction of SSRIs, let alone the banning. Worst case scenario, they get "forced" to increase the price.

You are showcasing either malicious revisionism or media illiteracy. D pledged unconditional military aid to Israel. There's nothing that indicates that they would have been better for Gaza than Fuckface 45-47. If there was they should have ran on that as their platform. There's no such thing as a little genocide. There either is or isn't. If you can't understand that after all this time, then you might be suffering from manufactured consent poisoning.

Do you genuinely think that billionaires give a fuck about armed insurrection, from their triple reinforced bunkers? They can't hide their income though. If only there was a way to attack that.

By the same logic, if trump had his way, what makes you think you'd be able to vote for a new president?
