I accidentally put in the hardware code to reset my phone to factory settings once by jamming it into my car console. It sucked at the time, but made me appreciate that I could use this code in the future if needed.

You may have this option on your device as well.

It’s such a weird place to be to feel that this guy is absolute trash, but also kind of heartened that he can still apparently feel shame about being absolute trash.

So the argument is that “if we give people food, and then they eat that food, then we are harmed because we cannot make them give us back that food that they ate”?

One million so far

Ah, I wasn’t even really thinking of Phoenix, but excellent reference, and he sounds like such a mess. To be fair though, most of what I know about the dude is from “The Superhero Complex” podcast.

I feel like a lot of people knew who Phoenix was though, and so he was at least accountable for his actions in most cases. ICE appears to be acting in a way to purposely avoid accountability.

The whole masked officers thing really got me wondering how society would respond to a Batman like figure. I don’t think I realized bofore the ICE raids how absolutely horrible the concept of masked superheros was for a free society, even after consuming some media that tried to focus on this issue, like the Watchmen.

I don’t know how it originated, like if the number has significance, but in practice it just means to expel a person from a place. I think it’s a ban in most cases in which the person would not be welcomed back.

It’s not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a “martyr” is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming “martyrs” by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That’s not what the word means, and you’re just becoming a murderer.

Could start by at least listing Professorozone in the canceled subscriptions.

I also don’t subscribe, but have paid to watch the occasional Marvel movie. I’m happy to pass on whatever they’ve got lined up next if it gets them to take their role in fostering free speech more seriously.

If cancel culture was really a problem for them, they would have been screaming on Fox every night while Colin Kaepernick was being shunned by every NFL team.

Risk Management. I have some very limited experience with using R, but not really any Python experience. There was a good set of tools (Excel add-ons) from ProbabilityManagement.org that gave a lot of flexibility in the models that you could build (e.g. not restricting a user to building financial risk models or schedule risk models like a lot of other risk management apps). I’m not really trying to complain about not being able to find this on Linux, and run an air-gapped Windows machine to hang on to this capability.

I also run silly things like modeling expected dollars needed to complete a Funko collection.

I recognize it may be a pretty niche issue, but i still haven’t found a Linux app that i can build Monte Carlo simulation models with, though I think some of the developers of these types of apps have made MacOS ports. The ones that I’ve historically used are Excel add-ons, but i haven’t found anything similar yet for Libre Office, or stand alone app.

I work in risk management, but don’t really have a strong understanding of LLM mechanics. “Confidence” is something that i quantify in my work, but it has different terms that are associated with it. In modeling outcomes, I may say that we have 60% confidence in achieving our budget objectives, while others would express the same result by saying our chances of achieving our budget objective are 60%. Again, I’m not sure if this is what the LLM is doing, but if it is producing a modeled prediction with a CDF of possible outcomes, then representing its result with 100% confindence means that the LLM didn’t model any other possible outcomes other than the answer it is providing, which does seem troubling.

My prior understanding of the issue at hand is that the probable downside for limiting the nationwide application of some federal judge rulings is that the federal agencies have the resources to select a jurisdiction to enact rules that local judges have determined to be unconstitutional to one where local judges have not. Ex. if Feds can’t violate someone’s civil rights in New York, just move that someone to Florida where the Federal Agency can violate their civil rights.

Certainly there are scenarios in which federal judges being able to issue nationwide rulings is detrimental to left leaning causes as well (mifepristone bans), however without the supreme court first taking up the case of the constitutionality of birthright citizenship before making this current ruling on application of nationwide rulings, they’re just being a bunch of shit fuck cowards.

I also don’t understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.

Money please!

I had a buddy just out of college who had a job like this. He said the job was shit because he spent most of his time driving between different sites to extract and deliver organs. He never said much about dealing with the recently deceased, that part didn’t seem to bother him much, but traffic would set the dude off.

One of the details that I spotted was that the images in the article show the FLIR logo, which is a type of equipment that one would use to view methane plumes, and was used to dramatic effect during the Aliso Canyon gas storage field leaks. That may not be a convincing detail on its own, but one that I thought suggested some credibility.

The world would be fine without Harry Potter, and better without JK Rowling.

Helpful neighbor: “No, I’m with ICE and I’m arresting you motherfuckers.”

*We all get to pretend to be ICE or whatever the fuck if there’s no requirement to prove who you are
