  • that he just wants a propaganda bot that regurgitates all of the right wing talking points.

    Then he has utterly failed with Grok. One of my new favorite pastimes is watching right wingers get angry that Grok won't support their most obviously counterfactual bullshit and then proceed to try to argue it into saying something they can declare a win from.

  • Wikipedia is not a trustworthy source of information for anything regarding contemporary politics or economics.

    Wikipedia presents the views of reliable sources on notable topics. The trick is what sources are considered "reliable" and what topics are "notable", which is why it's such a poor source of information for things like contemporary politics in particular.

  • I've noticed a lot of videos give me a still ad and make me click "skip" at the very start of videos through my ad blockers.

  • The individuals at the company are the problem. The internet tends to comment like they don’t get this.

    You make it sound like if you make and sell a thing, people are required to buy it. If you tried to sell me an AI bed that would not function without an active internet connection, I'd laugh at you.

  • The thing is this was the first of its kind election for this district, so where did those estimates even come from? If you give a number it’s got to be from somewhere right?

    So, this board has never since it's creation had to have an actual election? It's always been someone running unopposed?

  • Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering

    Jump

  • He might have won the very first Nobel Prize, had he not passed away just a few years prior,

    Basically the same thing happened twenty years later with Henrietta Swan Leavitt, who made a discovery that's essential to figuring distances in space. She noticed something while working as a computer at Harvard College Observatory that eventually became known as Leavitt's Law. Her Nobel nomination was halted because she passed away and the award is not given posthumously. Hubble's work heavily relied on hers.

  • My cats right now

    Jump

  • The fourth is catnip. Always the 'nip.

    Once my mom asked me to clear out a planter box that had become overgrown because she wanted to plant tomatoes. I pulled up this 3ft tall stalk plant with little purplish flowers, and as soon as I shoved it in the trash bag, the cat came running from the other side of the house and dove face first in the bag. After a minute or so, it was backing out of the bag with the stalk between his teeth dragging it out of the bag and once it was out of the bag started nibbling on it and rolling around on the plant. Looked up what the plant was and apparently I had just pulled up his catnip grow operation. When he came down, he was mad at me for a few days.

  • I was skimming your comment and this part look exactly like some autogenerated SEO bullshit.

    My assumption was they copied and pasted from a lyrics website without checking and got a mid page ad in the process.

  • If you really wanted to be security minded, you could go a step further - have the ballot printing machines keep a per-machine count of ballots they've done and print a ballot with human readable votes and a barcode detailing the same. Have a second machine scan those ballots and drop them into a locked box. None of them are connected to a network or have an accessible open port anywhere on them. There is however a locked access panel on the back of each machine where an SD card is inserted. As ballots are printed and scanned each machine's SD card records what happens. The two types of machines are made by different manufacturers and validated by a third party.

    At close of polls, all the machines are asked to report their results. If there is a discrepancy between what the ballot printers report and what the ballot scanners report, it's time for a manual recount of that polling location. Then the SD cards are pulled from all the machines and shipped to the relevant election board to check the contents against the reports. Also manual recount 5% of polling locations (minimum one) selected at random. If discrepancies show up in more than a 1% of polling locations, manual recount the entire election. For all these manual recounts, the human readable portion of the paper ballot is the final authority.

  • I could see low expectations from the registrar of voters for turnout, but 60 people in the entire city? And they just didn’t have any kind of plans if more showed up?

    This is the kind of election where usually only people who specifically are invested in the thing bother, I wouldn't be surprised if the last time one of these happened they literally did average about 20 votes per polling place, and their plan if more showed up was supplying 15x more ballots than they needed last time, just in case. Which wasn't remotely enough.

  • 'Eventually': Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn't being made in the USA

    Jump

  • Given the price and description, I was always assuming they were going to import a cheap Chinese android phone from a no-name manufacturer and then do the gold paint here and call it Made in the USA, like how other companies do one final assembly step here in order to make that claim.

  • ...and even newer methods make old math insanely complicated, but much more generalized. Like building definitions for things like numbers and basic arithmetic using set theory.

  • Some things don't change

    Jump

  • To be fair, the first 100 pages of that was justifying the set theory definition for what numbers are. The following two hundred papers are proving that a process of iterative counting we call addition functions in a consistent and useful way, given the set theory way of defining numbers. Once we get to that point, 1+1 is easy. Then we get to start talking more deeply about iteration as a process, leading to considering iterating addition (aka multiplication), iterating multiplication (aka exponents), etc. But that stuff is for the next thousand pages.

    Remember, 0 is defined as the amount of things in the empty set {}. 1 is defined as the amount of things in a set containing the empty set {{}}. Each following natural number is defined as the amount of things in a set containing each of the previous nonnegative integers. So for example 2 is the amount of things in a set containing the empty set and a set containing the empty set {{}, {{}}}, 3 is the amount of things in a set containing the empty set, a set containing the empty set, and a set containing the empty set and a set containing the empty set {{}, {{}}, {{}, {{}}}}, etc. All natural numbers are just counting increasingly recursively labeled nothing. Welcome to math.

  • They admitted they are not factual, and thus are not news.

    More specifically there was a case where a Fox News "reporter" was asked to do a story on something and what they saw did not match the narrative at all, they refused to play along and were fired for not telling the story the network wanted to tell. They sued, and the argument from Fox was that only the shows literally called the news were news and had any need to be truthful, everything else is opinion or entertainment and thus could lie as much as they wanted. If you look at their current schedule, I'm pretty sure "news" is down to the 11PM Fox News @ Night, the closest anything else gets is being "geared towards" news.

  • You can’t consent to a religion if leaving it causes you to be shunned by your family and community.

    Then almost no one consents to their religion worldwide at all, barring a relative handful who leave the dominant faith in their community and are essentially disconnected solo practitioners of whatever, because joining or marrying into a different religious community is essentially just choosing a different group with the power to shun you for leaving their faith in turn.
