  • I mean yeah, it's almost certainly unconstitutional under 24A. But theat requires a SCOTUs who cares about the law and the constitution instead of putting Heritage first, Trump second and all that other stuff a distant third.

  • Again, read SAVE instead of making assumptions based on practices of other agencies that are tangentially related.

  • SAVE calls for "documentary proof of United States citizenship", which it defines in the act itself. A RealID that also verifies citizenship counts (normal RealID doesn't, and only 5 states that offer an "enhanced driver's license" do), so does a passport, a military ID combined with a record of service indicating you were born in the US, a federal, state, or tribal photo ID showing your place of birth was in the US or a federal, state or tribal photo ID combined with a birth or naturalization record.

    Most people will fall in that last category. And most valid birth records explicitly require the record be of the same name. The big question I'm not sure of is if in all the small changes amended to the law by SAVE if documentary proof of United States Citizenship is required to vote or merely to register.

  • Does SAVE require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, or just to register? As I understand it, documentary proof of citizenship is the specific requirement that's hard for anyone who has had a change of name to meet short of a passport or an EDL in the 5 states that offer one.

  • There are models with open weights, and you can run those locally on your GPU. It can be a bit slower depending on model and GPU. For example, GLM has an open version, both full and pruned, but it's not the newest version. A bunch of image generation models have local versions too.

  • The whole premise of deep think and similar in other models is to come up with an answer, then ask itself if the answer is right and how it could be wrong until the result is stable.

    The seahorse emoji question is one that trips up a lot of models (it's a Mandela effect thing where it doesn't exist but lots of people remember it and as a consequence are firm that it's real), I asked GLM 4.7 about it with deep think on and it wrote about two dozen paragraphs trying to think of everywhere a seahorse emoji could be hiding, if it was in a previous or upcoming standard, if maybe there was another emoji that might be mistaken for a seahorse, etc, etc. It eventually decided that it didn't exist, double checked that it wasn't missing anything, and gave an answer.

    It was startlingly like flow.ofnconaciousness of someone experiencing the Mandela effect trying desperately to find evidence they were right, except it eventually gave up and realized the truth.

  • He's trying to take them down from the inside.

    From the inside of an underaged girl, maybe.

    Does that make blowing bubba collecting evidence?

  • They passed a law to do it. Are you going to follow that law, or your boss and cult leader who can also make you immune to that and any other law?

  • Everyone around you has a phone with a camera. Businesses and the government have additional cameras looking all over. The phone camera being less obvious and handsfree seems like an arbitrary choice of where to draw the line

  • OK, and? He can drop that suit at any time and it will stop there, but such a lawsuit is a useful tactic. Specifically, it's a MAD tactic, because he knows he is also implicated (I don't think anyone genuinely believes he's totally clean on the Epstein stuff) and the GOP broadly and Trump in particular want to go after the Clintons in particular.

    If he was genuinely about transparency, why do you think he fought and delayed on the subpoena until Congress moved to find in in contempt of Congress? The purpose of such a lawsuit is to create a threat against them to protect himself by threat of mutual destruction. Same as pushing for any deposition from the subpoena being totally public - also about mutually assured destruction. The goal is to threaten that if the Clintons are gone after in a serious way, he'll take them with him.

  • It's a political maneuver. He's betting on there being less bad about him than about GOP and that they'll refuse anything that allows stuff to potentially be public outside their direct control and won't push too hard on him as a consequence.

  • Literally the use of pizza imagery as code for pedo stuff was one of the central claims of the qanon pizza gate conspiracy. Seems like other than it not being in the basement of a pizza place with no basement they had most of it right, strangely enough.

  • lol

  • The end to go that and go on existential rants after a session runs too long. Figuring out how to stop them from crashing out into existential dread has been an actual engineering problem they've needed to solve.

  • why are some animals allowed to have rights, while others allowed to be butchered and eaten?

    The line is generally a combination of social, practical, and culinary. That is, if it's not a companion animal, it's not endangered, it is customarily raised as livestock and it is tasty those are all evidence it probably goes in the latter category. So chicken = food, whooping crane = not food because endangered, german shepherd = not food because companion, blue ringed octopus = not food because taste bad.

  • There are lots of ways to be a piece of shit, let's be clear - for publicly chronically masturdebating to college girls to promote a Christian Nationalist agenda.

  • Show me a good campaign that accepts AIPAC money.

    Pick pretty much any winning campaign on either side in something like the last half century. In context a "good campaign" doesn't mean a campaign holding up to whatever your particular markers of moral purity are (which includes but certainly are not limited to "does not support Israel"), but rather a campaign that is effective at getting elected.

  • and voting IDs

    Just another reminder: Read the SAVE Act and start getting together valid ID under it now, don't wait to find out if it's going to pass first. Valid ID has other uses too so it's not a total waste if it doesn't pass and gets you ahead of both the line and any GOP fuckery with trying to get ID if it does pass.

    Especially if you are someone who has ever changed their name, as SAVE allows for some forms of voter ID that don't verify citizenship, but those have to be paired with a birth record with a matching name, which doesn't exist if you have ever changed your name (such as being a married woman, or many trans folks).
