Man, so glad my kid is out of school now, he’d make their lives hell and rightly so! Then I’d roll up and go “And… he’s right, this is complete bullshit and it should be illegal to force feed kids propaganda like this, who’s your legal team? Let’s get them on the phone…”
“The paper was championed by MIT economists Daron Acemoglu, who won the 2024 economics Nobel, and David Autor. The two said they were approached in January by a computer scientist with experience in materials science who questioned how the technology worked, and how a lab that he wasn’t aware of had experienced gains in innovation.”
It sounds like this hypothetical materials science lab maybe did not actually exist. Actual materials scientist reached out and went “Hey, I never heard of that lab, who are they and how did they use AI?” Oh… THAT lab? Yeah, it’s in Canada, you don’t know it…
She’s only a year old so, yeah, still pretty green. LOL. She was very upset that I got up, skipped the office and left for an eye appointment. LOL.
Nothing wrong with the KSG, but for me? I dig the old school Mossberg Shockwave w/ wood furniture. ;)
Ours was convinced we were going to work today, she does not yet understand the concept of “Saturday” or “Sunday”. Amazon should pay her. :)
Well, come on over, we’ll hang out! :) If you’re looking for a safe gun shop I can reccomend two:

Our youngest gets up with me every morning to go to work. Yells at me, trots into my office where she has her own blanket.
He really doesn’t understand tariffs or business or, really much of anything, does he? Businesses pass on costs to consumers, if the government intentionally increases costs China isn’t paying it, Walmart isn’t paying it, where does he think the money comes from?
I have a very good relationship with a small bookstore here, a lot of their magazines are printed in Canada and a lot of their books are printed in China. I’m VERY worried for them.
They aren’t in a position to absorb the costs, but at the same time, raising prices will turn off their customers. And they BARELY survived Covid.
They can’t go to companies like Marvel and go “Hey, pretty please, with sugar on top, can you stop printing in Canada and China?”
My brain always wants to conflate Pinter with Samuel Beckett for some reason, I think because I was reading both at the same time in college.
Specifically Beckett’s play “Happy Days”, which I always want to attribute to Pinter even though I know better.
All true, but a .22 carbine rifle is way different from a 2 shot .22 Derringer with effectively no barrel and no sites with a bonus defect which may cause one of the two shots to misfire.
For .22? Give me this:

Of course, I already have the big brother in .44 Magnum. :)
Yeah, I have a first edition of that book, it was actually startling reading it.
The note on the cover about “America’s most powerful corporation” is a BIT of hyperbole…
American companies were forbidden from doing business with Germany, BUT… IBM just happened to have a division in Switzerland and they had NO PROBLEM supplying the Nazis with the punch card tech they needed to catalog, track, round up, and exterminate their Jewish population.
That’s really cool, but I have to admit I can’t immediately figure out how that trigger works…
Tempted to remove as this is just a string of videos and video links aren’t allowed, but it does feature a link to the OG article for which these are the supporting documents:

Read THAT article FIRST, then come back to the video links.
“Ok, I mean, sure, we sold the Nazis punchcards, but seriously, what could they do with them?”
Should be required reading for anyone in tech. Bonus - great early history of punch cards and IBM.
In this room alone… 3 phones, 2 tablets, a smart watch, a Steam Deck, Xbox One X, PS4, Roku, Smart TV.
Don’t ask me to count all devices, I don’t have that kind of time. I just changed the batteries in our alarm sensors… 28 of them.
