“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

I'm just one monastery, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (procedurally building and testing plausible names of god using a custom set of glyphs). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs I would have expected if you'd asked me six months ago.

utopia deferred @utopia-defer.red · 20d

a recurring theme that is impossible to ignore for the Bolsheviks is how they never stopped projecting a sense, a right, to their power and right to rule. It is something that colors every speech, declaration, and action. It feeds and regenerates on itself and creates the impossible.

Through the greater part of the proceedings, the majority treated lightly the Bolsheviks and their associates. When Tseretelli, pleading for the coalition government, challenged the delegates to say whether there was a single party in Russia prepared alone to shoulder responsibility for government, Lenin interrupted from the floor to say that his party was prepared for that. The majority drowned Lenin's words in hilarious laughter. The delegates from the provinces were not aware that in Petrograd the opposition's influence was already growing like an avalanche. Lenin was eager to impress them and to show them that Petrograd demanded an end to the coalition and the formation of a Socialist ministry, that is of a ministry consisting only of the moderate Socialists. Despite his statement from the floor of the Congress, which was a declaration of principle, not of immediate purpose, Lenin did not yet aim at the overthrow of the government.

He then resumed his ever-recurring dialogue with the sceptic who did not believe that the revolution would spread and that the Russian revolutionary army and Russian democracy would find allies in Europe: My answer is that history has given no guarantee to us, to the Russian revolution, that we shall not be crushed altogether, that our revolutionary will is not going to be strangled by a coalition of world capital, that world imperialism will not crucify us. The Russian Revolution represented so great a danger to the propertied classes of all countries that they would try to destroy it and to transform Russia into a colony of European or, what was more probable, of American capital. But this trial of strength was still ahead, and the Soviets were in duty bound to be ready for it. 'If ... [revolutionary] Germany does not rise, or if she rises too feebly, then we shall move our regiments ... not in order to defend ourselves but in order to undertake a revolutionary offensive. At this point the powerful peroration was interrupted by an anonymous voice from the foor: 'It will be too late, then. Before the year was out, the anonymous voice was proved right. But in the Trotsky who addressed the Congress the features can be clearly discerned of the man who was not only to confront, without any armed strength behind him, the diplomacy of the Hohenzollerns and the Habsburgs, but also to create the Red Army.

It is a good sign for us that the effective-for-our-side framing "Trump's Argentina Bailout" is how it's being referred to in NYT headlines. If that's the language being used we've already won the argument on the issue. Trump's Argentina Bailout

When the bailout for Argentina…is actually a bailout for the Treasury Secretary’s hedge fund billionaires.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

I like big and deep/complicated settings in fiction but all the multiverse/AU stuff that's gotten popular in the last few years feels like such a cheap and boring way to do it. It's like when the kid on the playground says they're bigger times infinity. Okay well I guess you win. Idiot
