Yes but that's not the biggest problem. Selfishness is the biggest problem as far as relationships are concerned. Every Republican I've ever known has this attitude that their view of things, which is invariably biased in their interests, is the only possible correct one and that anyone who disagrees is both extremely dumb and morally inferior. With friends this is not the biggest problem because you don't have to share stuff with them. In a relationship though, it becomes really problematic fast.
Very frequently, yes. As well as closed source code and intellectual property of all kinds. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.
As I use copilot to write software, I have a hard time seeing how it'll get better than it already is. The fundamental problem of all machine learning is that the training data has to be good enough to solve the problem. So the problems I run into make sense, like:
- Copilot can't read my mind and figure out what I'm trying to do.
- I'm working on an uncommon problem where the typical solutions don't work
- Copilot is unable to tell when it doesn't "know" the answer, because of course it's just simulating communication and doesn't really know anything.
2 and 3 could be alleviated, but probably not solved completely with more and better data or engineering changes - but obviously AI developers started by training the models on the most useful data and strategies that they think work best. 1 seems fundamentally unsolvable.
I think there could be some more advances in finding more and better use cases, but I'm a pessimist when it comes to any serious advances in the underlying technology.
That's what they did this election, and we got fascism and the DNC doesn't matter anymore. So now what?
Do a hostile takeover of the GOP instead. Many states don't care why party you register as, and if they do just register as a Republican and vote in their primaries. Pick a socialist candidate and get them to run as a Republican, and vote for them. This is in essence what Trump did, but of course he did it for fascism and got Nazis to vote Republican. The same strategy can work for anyone else. This can start in safe blue states where no one votes in the GOP primaries and spread from there.
This is a far more realistic strategy because third parties are vulnerable to the spoiler effect and will always fail due to people being worried about electing Republicans.
I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I'm no longer open to dating Republican women.
Network effects, boomers being unable to figure out how to switch
There will be Fox News appearances.
Twitter is dumb as fucking fuck. Political leaders shouldn't be there. If you shitpost, you shouldn't be in charge of anything but shitposting.
Who could see this coming, other than literally everybody
That's not actually related to my point though. This is more like:
First they tweeted offensive things about women, and I made sure that thing they tweeted is now the only thing we talk about.
Then we couldn't talk about all the women dying of not getting abortions on time because we're too busy talking about tweets.
How about we stop focusing on reacting in kind to things the biggest nazi assholes say (possibly to evoke this sort of reaction and get more attention for themselves) and maybe just ignore them instead so they don't bring down the conversation to some bullshit fascist online troll level.
Imagine if there was a hack so bad that it caused everyone to become unable to develop in C and C++.
Classic "let's just make the cure worse than the disease" mindset among security enthusiasts.
I think this is intended as satirical but given the multitude of illogical reasons some give for supporting Trump it's hard to tell.
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.
All these government benefits programs are ready to deny 100 valid people benefits if it means they stop one instance of fraud. Because only the one instance of fraud gets attention in the corporate media.
Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.
Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it'll very likely pass.
Sunk cost fallacy is definitely a subtype, but I'm going for I guess the more general concept of an idea that becomes more popular the worse it does
Yes I know, your least-favorite idea goes here. But seriously, someone must have come up with the concept before. Like a bad get-rich-quick scheme could fall into this category, where joining the scheme makes people lose money and become more desperate, so they become more likely to do desperate things like invest more in the scheme. But it can apply to a number of other bad ideas.
It's funny how people try to rationalize why Trump won, as if has any rationality behind it whatsoever.
