Well sure. CEOs' main job is to coordinate the functions of major business units with the wishes of shareholders/the board of directors. Ultimately they're a middleman on the hook for the results of the business without actual direct control of day to day operations.

Effectively that means they give broad goals and direction to named execs, who translate those goals into actions for their organizations, that middle managers direct their teams to achieve. Then middle managers report success/failure to named execs, who report back to the CEO who (in conjunction with the other named execs) reports success/failure to shareholders & the board along with financial results.

The execs all are basically on the hook for the results of the decisions made by those below them, but they only decide the broad strokes of the actions of the business.

LLMs could do most of that. The only problem is they can't really make decisions properly. But they could pretty easily turn what is said by the board & shareholders into goals for others to enact - and maybe determine if actions taken by the business support the goals to some degree.

That is like 80% of the job of a CEO.

You can in libreoffice draw for sure.

"A borgor republic is a country with an economy of the best type of capitalism, where the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the job creators. Typically, a borgor republic has a 100% meritocratic society, usually a lot of lazy welfare queens looking for handouts and a ruling class of brilliant, innovative job creators and democratically elected politicians selflessly carrying out the will of the people."

US does mulled wine, but it's more of a general winter thing. More common up north in areas with more northern european influence, I think. Mince pies aren't really a thing, though, which is a shame.

Sounds like he wants a hush money payment. We'll see how it works out for him...

I really like Hendrick's (but it's expensive and not Canadian). I've seen. Sheringham Seaside & Empress recommended before - those are both Canadian.

One note, gin is literally just vodka flavored with botanicals. So if you figure out what flavors you do and don't like, you can make your own to-taste.

Example:

        750 ml Vodka
    2 tablespoons juniper berries
    1 teaspoon coriander seed
    4 allspice berries
    1/4 teaspoon fennel seed
    3 green cardamom pods
    3 black peppercorns
    1 bay leaf
    1 long orange peel
  

很酷！很多的人也很多的我的朋友 from my hometown & childhood 和你一样来自中国。我喜欢能看到 the etymology in a 汉字。

I wish 我的中文是足够好 to understand 中文 TV. 老师小猪佩奇不是有趣的。

我正在学习中文。中文很难！

I took a break from learning Chinese for a while due to personal stuff being busy and am trying to get back into it. Chinese is a very logical language, I think, and learning it is fun and interesting but challenging. I was just about HSK1 level, I think, before I stopped. I gotta boot up peppa pig in mandarin again - 你好小猪佩奇老师，我是你的学生！

Yeah. Autopens have been used for like... 150 years or something? And they involve the president actually authorizing the signature, whereas Stephen Miller or some aide or somebody is just copying and pasting this shit on random documents

Edit: over 200 years. https://www.shapell.org/behind-the-scenes/the-robot-pen/

Overton window got yeeted so far to the right it ended up hitting 88mph and travelling back to 1930s germany

Compliance does need to be considered. The company I work for is trying extremely hard to comply, but because of complexities and ambiguities in the law, it is difficult to find out how to comply. I don't know all the details, but I know legal, compliance, and the data engineering teams spend a lot of time figuring out how to be compliant and there aren't always clear answers.

That said, the solution is not to roll back protections but to be very explicit about how to comply.

Linda at the bottom there "I am pleased with the extralegal concentration camps, mass deportations, and arrest/abduction of citizens who just aren't white enough. The jackbooted thugs with no legal oversight or accountability are great. But what else has he done for me lately?"

Fucking fascist ghoul

I know several working class folks who grew up in the USSR who, while they admit it wasn't perfect, were very happy with how things were then and - although some of them are now onboard the Pravda train to looneyville & love Putin and believe the Russian Orthodox church line that Ukraine is led by baby-eating, devil-worshipping, Nazi Pedophiles (not an exaggeration) - they admit things are much worse than they were then and place the blame squarely on moving away from communism & planned economy.

Because of strong social programs, they had access to good education, work & a high quality of life, and a level of recreation and leisure that seems wild to me as an American.

Communism is not a monolith. There are many tendencies. And YMMV depending on the folks in power, just like any system. Additionally, despots love to call themselves socialist/communist while doing nothing relating to seizing the means of production - look at Cambodia (Khmer Rouge) as an example.

Imagine if we asked folks "What's your experience been like living in a capitalist regime". Most people would think thats a weird question because of how many types of capitalist regimes exist - it'sa general economic framework, not a system of government. Your experience will vary wildly if you are from like rural Kenya vs the US vs Scandinavia.

Nice. I've been wanting to get into baguettes. I didn't realize initially how much baking stuff I'd end up "needing" to get lol.

Oh really? Thats wild - does it not rise too much? Do you live in a refrigerator?

Very cool. I've not really done poolishes before - though I've done focaccia so I guess that's similar. Any particular thing you're trying to make with the poolish? Or just trying to do different boules?

Nice. Do you have a recipe you've been liking?

Mine is a 1:2:3 ratio, 3hr rise on counter with a couple rounds of stretch and folds, then a 16ish hr cold fermentation cycle, then bake in a dutch oven on 260c for 30 minutes covered 20 uncovered.

I don't have a pic, but turns out pretty good. Trying to get it more sour, though.
