  1. Welcome to what was "TrUmP dErAnGeMeNt SyNdRoMe" a few short years ago
  2. TBH data-wise it's not much different. If you're taking in 3rd and 4th order sources of information that layer on analysis, you're introducing a ton of bias into your data. Focusing on raw market data will lead to a more durable model that operates on first principles - but it also takes more training time to build that foundation of knowledge. There is some very interesting work around using LLMs to conduct enterprise-wide sentiment analysis to wholly analyze the totality of a company's communications and filings, official and unofficial. The idea is that it will give a more comprehensive view of their self-assessment, which is a very useful asset in planning
  3. Unfortunately, the executive is supposed to be the branch responsible for adherence and enforcement of the law. Structurally, the executive branch is currently acting explicitly against it's constitutional mandate with how frequently it's breaking laws and defying lawful court orders
  4. This thread is a cautionary tale of what can happen when you don't keep your @Pimphand strong
  5. Fortunately that's also the only place to get help with social security

    3D Printing

    cool stuff from the more broad world of 3D printing - gel-suspended silicone 3D prints https://www.rapidliquidprint.com/
  7. Yeah dude, we're shipping them to fucking conentration camps. No fuckin shit they're not getting any due process. The fascists have figured out how to weaponize the legal system to slow their enemies and accelerate their own schemes. @Frank Drebin has been casting all sorts of accusations of "lawfare" and wouldn't ya know it, there's the lawfare in action now. It's just being applied against the general population, and the good deacon's enemies in particular
  8. Jesus fucking Christ. ICE is contracting Palantir to build target lists for raids and black bagging. This is full on surveillance state dystopia shit https://www.404media.co/ice-just-paid-palantir-tens-of-millions-for-complete-target-analysis-of-known-populations/
  9. That's horrifying and would really exacerbate dementia cases. Jesus Christ.
  10. I'm fairly certain Cruz is an energy vampire, he seems to enjoy being a shitbag to his constituency
  11. Abrego-Garcia is dead, dude. CERCOT is a death camp.
  12. Conviction? Dude hasn't even been charged with anything formally. He's been accused of being a gang member by a sex pest dirty cop. Of course, in the Trump world, a sex pest IS a pretty authoritative source I suppose.
  13. Wow, some solid journalism. It's too bad that @ChickenSandwich and @Rex Kramer and everyone else that was cheering this on is missing out on actual information. TLDR: the ONLY person who claimed Abrego-Garcia was MS-13 was a dirty cop that was indicted just weeks after fraudulently arresting him
  14. AP: US judge questions Trump officials’ refusal to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia Xinis ordered the U.S. on Friday to provide daily status updates on plans to return Abrego Garcia. The Trump administration responded Saturday that he was alive in the El Salvador prison. But it has only doubled down on its decision not to tell a federal court whether it has any plans to repatriate Abrego Garcia. In a filing Tuesday afternoon, Trump administration attorneys said the U.S. government is prepared to facilitate his return to the U.S. But they said that his protection from being deported to El Salvador would be removed because they alleged he’s in MS-13. He would be deported back to El Salvador or to a third country, they said. ... In a filing with the U.S. District Court on Tuesday, Abrego Garcia’s lawyers cited Thursday’s order from the Supreme Court to facilitate his return. “To give any meaning to the Supreme Court’s order, the Government should at least be required to request the release of Abrego Garcia,” the attorneys wrote. “To date, the Government has not done so.” The attorneys also rejected the idea that the U.S. lacks the authority to retrieve him. They noted that the U.S. is paying El Salvador to hold prisoners, including Abrego Garcia, and “can exercise those same contractual rights to request their release.”
  15. holy fuck it ripped your hardyboard and buckled some joists?? Your house tanked a serious fuckin' blast dude. That's wild
  16. Rent seeking, but digital! It's got excellent profit margins
  17. Oh, and if anyone is upset at my characterization of the El Salvador concentration camp as a "concentration camp" - I'm simply applying the standard given by the US Holocaust museum Generically defined, a concentration camp is a site for the detention of civilians whom a regime perceives to be a security risk of some sort. What distinguishes it from a prison (in the modern sense) is that incarceration in a concentration camp is independent of any judicial sentence or even indictment, and is not subject to judicial review.
  18. unironically, this is what I think the Ahsoka show is building towards. Thrawn has been out in the unknown regions for more than a decade now, and he's coming back to the galaxy to reclaim a nascent imperial remnant that's been nurtured by Moff Gideon and Pellaeon. All the peices line up, and it would fit in similarly to how the Legends story fit after the OT
  19. The real problem is the digital "foot traffic". It's basically impossible for a small website to be discovered on its own now. Search engines are fundamentally broken in a way that they weren't up until about the mid 20-teens. It's all either SEO garbage or AI generated shit, or both. Unfortunately, the best way to build an audience is to go where the people already are - and that's gonna be at the great big troughs of social media. It's why elon bought twitter - he wanted control of a trough in order to better steer the conversation and drive "foot traffic" towards sites he prefers. The internet writ large is MUCH more prescriptive and less built around discovery than it used to be. It's now primarily a surveilance tool in order to sell more valuable ad impressions and steer eyeballs
  20. @Rex Kramer here's one for you - a student from Palestine on a refugee visa since 2015 got arrested by ICE while he was waiting for his citizenship appointment. His lawyers don't know where he is - very probably on his way to the El Salvador concentration camps https://apnews.com/article/immigration-palestine-protest-trump-deportation-columbia-fca7e73fe2cbd616c1eacf3bdececdbe
  21. They're deporting protesters at this point. Students have been getting arrested by DHS while waiting for their fucking citizenship appointments. It's gonna fuckin happen. He fired rubber bullets at peaceful protesters last time without warning. They're gonna be JHP's next time.
  22. Now what would a union-crushing oligarch with access to extralegal rendition to foreign concentration camps want with labor organization data??
  23. Godspeed, I agree there's probably some structural gremlins in your house - considering the blast shockwave was able to knock your door in. It's a damn miracle that nobody is in the hospital, I hope your family is able to find some peace and comfort in the next few days as y'all figure out wtf happened to your across the street neighbors
  24. Brown people mostly, it turns out
  25. trump? in violation of a court order??? UNPLOSSIBLE!
