My favorite part of the carnivore diet is that apparently scurvy can become enough of a problem that you'll see references to "not wanting to start the vitamin C debate" in forums.

I'm pretty sure it's not just a me thing, but I thought we all knew that sailors kept citrus on board specifically to prevent scurvy by providing vitamin C and that we all learned about this as kids when either a teacher tried to make the colonial era interesting or we got vaguely curious about pirates at some point.

You know, the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" argument being implicitly extended to cover second-generation immigrants should if taken seriously, imply that these people aren't actually obligated to follow US law, which presumably includes immigration law. You know, if you go by a text-first originalist interpretation of the constitution and the law.

Probably both tbh. It really is like SBF round 1, but because it's drugs instead of financial crimes they didn't need to hire Margot Robbie to explain why it's illegal and destructive to everyone from her bath.

You gotta love how in the announcement the guy is so blatantly "hey they said and did such nice things for me that I just got a throw them a bone, and if releasing the leader of a notorious drug bazaar who tried to put out a hit on one of his employees is what they want then they can have it!"

And a Quarian who went to business school

Machines with a lot of precision parts that need to hold up to the kind of wear and tear either a Marine or a maniacal quilter are capable of dishing out. So many layers of fabric...

Hat tip to this reply showcasing a beautiful example of image gen. Very éthiccal(athiccal?) technology.

I mean the Kharkiv offensive of 2023 showed us how effective tractors can be in capturing heavier-armored vehicles in certain situations.

Oh wait, there's one! How could I miss it when it's got an RCS as big as a 747! In fact, it looks exactly like a civilian airliner. Huh.

Oh well, still a plane so missile goes bwshhhhhhhhhhh

The continued polytopia mentions just keep reminding me of this take from Dave Karpf. Like, he's not talking about incredibly deep games here (no offense to the people who love them) and in the context of him trying to take on the reigns of Presidentissimo or whatever all the arguing and doubting about his gamer cred is obscuring the arguments over how weird this is to try and focus on. Like, if he was trying to claim he was a Go all-star or something that would be one thing. Even Chess has tradition behind it, even if it's actual utility for learning more general strategic thinking is more questionable. But Polytopia and Diablo? Really? If we did start apportioning political power to whoever can execute a basic strategy while clicking as fast as possible I think we'd all be bowing down to God-Emperor Flash or something.

Anyways, even if we put my unearned strategy gaming elitism aside this is such a dumb argument to be having in the first place and I don't know that I can forgive Elon for making it part of the problem.

My gut says that liquidity in this context means "making sure that there are tokens available to purchase for initial buyers" or in other words listing them on the market instead of distributing them at initial purchase price.

Pretty sure there's gonna be a contract somewhere that defines raw intelligence as "the amount of money you make for OpenAI."
