@maddad It sounds nightmarish, to me. I'm so glad my wife isn't a Trumpster. It was bad enough cutting ties with the rest of my family.

@hipsterelectron

Yeah, that's a step up in accuracy from "statistical analysis". Still, you can technically do ML (badly) without knowing anything at all about statistics. You just open a can of algorithm and a bag of data, dump them in a pot, simmer and stir, and hope it comes out tasty.

@dalias

I would argue this particular point. Most of what I do for a living as an ML engineer/researcher is *not* statistical analysis. There's plenty of both in the mix, but they are not the same. If you were to call it "statistical modeling", I might be more inclined to agree with you.

Could it be that Republicans have finally found the limits of their support for Trump's terror campaign against the American people and our (now alienated) allies?

I have no illusion that this is due to morals or respect for law. It's obviously out of self-preservation, as the ability for him to off lawmakers who disagree with him could put even Republican lawmakers on the gallows someday. But the fact that he has overstepped like this and they have publicly rebuked him showcases that he is not (yet) the totalitarian leader he wants us to treat him as. The power has not been fully consolidated yet. And now that they have felt fear for their *own* welfare, should that come to pass, and now that the ice is broken and they have contradicted him, will we start to see more pushback, more democratic constraints -- accepting the fact that they are motivated purely out of self-preservation?

'Epstein emailed people about Trump regularly, usually derogatorily. “I have met some very bad people,” he wrote in one email. “None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body.”'

Quick, easy, healthy, delicious, and satisfying! Not many recipes get all those labels at once!

This recipe took me less than 10 minutes *total* from start to plating time.

Pop a steam bag of your favorite greens in the microwave. I used kale.

Heat a drained can of beans and some oil together in a pan on medium heat. I used cannelini beans and extra virgin olive oil.

Add the greens when they finish in the microwave.

Season liberally, to taste. I used black pepper, chili powder, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, and a splash of low sodium soy sauce (for the added umami). The cayenne can be left out.

Heat thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until liquid from the greens no longer pools.

Remove from heat.

Spicy: Add a splash of Frank's Red Hot.
Not spicy: Add a little vinegar or squeeze a citrus over it.

The sourness counteracts the bitterness of the greens. Citrus, in particular, should be added *after* removing from heat, as heat breaks down the vitamin C.

Enjoy!

@wakame @hellomiakoda Of course, that might just be a complete failure to listen.

@wakame @hellomiakoda I was thinking the same thing. He seems to have a remarkably difficult time interpreting the words and experiences of minds not identical to his own.

@Em0nM4stodon @nemo I'm not a TikTok user. Is there anything resembling TikTok on the Fediverse? Something that doesn't have centralized control susceptible to fascist manipulation?

#TikTok
#Fediverse

@Em0nM4stodon Maybe @dansup might know?

@Em0nM4stodon @nemo Are there safety features for younger viewers?

@hellomiakoda Bits of it are the exact opposite of reality. Bits of it are exaggerated like they are intended to make us sound bad. And bits of it are utterly nonsensical like a fucking gonzo film.

@hellomiakoda I keep trying to put words together to express just how fucked up and wrong and absurd this definition is, but words are failing me. Did someone use an LLM? Did they just look at the word roots and decide they didn't need to actually read *anything at all* about it?

@hellomiakoda What the actual fuck?

@DavidBruchmann @realcaseyrollins @LAGilman (It sounds like you are telling me not to publicly fact check him, because he doesn't care if he's right. But I'm doing it because *I* care that he's wrong, and I think people need to hear that he is.)

@DavidBruchmann @realcaseyrollins @LAGilman I know. I'm not looking to appease him or speak to what he cares about. I'm talking to *other* people, not to Trump. He is sowing disinformation, so I'm sharing facts as an antidote. Should I let the gas bag bellow unopposed, harming people to satisfy his narcissistic need for power and attention, or should I tell the truth and hope at least some people hear that over his noxious BS?

@realcaseyrollins @LAGilman Probably because he didn't study anything before he made his BS announcement.

@DavidBruchmann @realcaseyrollins @LAGilman I'm not sure I follow.

For the record, there is extensive research going back multiple decades showing either no correlation or only mild, spurious correlation between acetaminophen and autism, with no evidence of a causal link. Larger studies that properly control for other variables show the lowest correlation. Most likely there is another factor that causes both acetaminophen use and autism. For example, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can be painful, and is a genetic condition that increases the chances of ASD by a factor of 7. (I myself have EDS and am autistic, which is why I know the stats offhand.) So it's not a stretch at all to imagine mothers with EDS taking Tylenol for their joint pain and having kids with EDS who also just happen to be autistic, with no other connection between the Tylenol use and the autism.

@nazokiyoubinbou @thomasfuchs It's still better than the episode where the lady is having a hacker battle with someone and another person runs over and proceeds to help by...typing on the other end of the *same keyboard* as her. I kid you not. You don't have any technical knowledge whatsoever to know that doing that could never work. You just need to have ever used a keyboard in your life. But somehow the *writers* missed that.

@dalias @rysiek Like the cheerleader uniforms here in the US. I absolutely *do not* find that acceptable garb for my daughters.
