re: Greatest Christmas gift this year

Wonderful news. Merry Christmas.
Carlson was making $20 million a year at Fox.

His current projects aren't getting him near that. He's taking money from somewhere.

I don't care who is paying him but he should be a little more upfront about it.

No - most of us have just been in this industry long enough to know the latest tech fad when we see it. Usually what happens is there is some change from the new tech, but not anywhere even close to the initial promises and predictions.


You think this is a tech fad?

AI changes how we code not the need to code. It's not like AI is going to just go out and start writing stuff for you. Someone is still in the driver's seat.

I can see diminished capacity, but certainly not cutting 80% of jobs. It's just going to create jobs in other spaces, such as prompt engineering.


You are either in denial or fundamentally do not understand the changes coming.

Prompt engineering? Seriously? For what, about 3 months.

re: Rooting for Tulane…

Take the points.

The first game was very much an anomaly. Terrible start for Tulane and they just got washed over.

It might work to Tulane's advantage. Even in a playoff game, Ole Miss may be overlooking them.

Disney has massively cracked down on this and it has caused quite the shite storm among this class of people.
This has been around. Not new. If it were a problem it would have happened a long time ago.

Why would she go to prison?

Are you saying that I can't shoot someone unlawfully on my front porch if I feel a reasonable threat from said unlawful person?


Are you willing to put your freedom on the line and in the hands of a questionable district attorney or questionable jury in Orleans or Jefferson Parish? Or Harris county?

I mean can someone say, yes, I gunned down the solar panel salesman because I thought it was a ruse and I felt in danger?

It doesn't work like that. A reasonable person doesn't gun someone down that comes onto their driveway, porch or lawn.

If someone tries to unlawfully enter your home you can put 50 holes in them. Just be ready. But you can't assume because they are on your porch, they might try to enter and blast away.
quote:


Well the law saw it's OK to use lethal force if you are in reasonable fear of your life.

Does this not qualify?

Someone is trespassing on your property in broad daylight, they are entering your premises by coming onto your porch.

They are stealing from you. Do you know their intent? Do you know their intent once they are confronted committing a felony on your property? Do you know if they have a weapon or not?

The answer to all of those is NO, which means that it is reasonable to assume that they are their to harm you.

What if it's your wife home alone and this happens? Would you tell your wife not to shoot these people if they entered your domicile (your front porch?)


The fact is this type of thing has been litigated over and over and the homeowner tends to lose depending on the state.

If you are in your home, behind the door, it's best to stay there unless you want to put yourself in serious risk of being out in a cage.

If someone tries to enter, you blast the hell out of them. I'm not saying that's right but that's typically what the law allows.

Know your laws. Don't end up in prison over an Amazon can opener.
What does the law say? That's the only question that needs to be answered.

It's not about well he should be able to do this or that. That's the debate before the law is written.

Everyone needs to know the law where you live. The laws that apply to your home, your property, your car and even when you are armed in public spaces.

It's like Trump and his people haven't learned anything since 2015.

The legacy establishment media is NEVER going to do a puff piece on anything related to Trump world. Never, ever, ever.

I don't see how people can be so dumb as to fall for this over and over.

Is Trump going to do another 30 hours with Bob Woodward or Maureen Dowd?

It's bizarre.
Was she interviewed by the Post or asked to comment on a piece they were running?

If she sat for an interview she's a dummy who hasn't learned anything.

1. It's on purpose.

2. It's been true for a long time. This isn't new.
John Cena has done 650 encounters for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Imagine fulfilling the wish of a dying child once a week for over a decade.

Anyone hating on Cena or wrestling is the real dupe.

He's a true professional in a world where professionalism is getting harder and harder to find.

He was everything to my now 16yo many years ago and he loved going to see Cena when they came through NOLA.

Although we still check out WrestleMania every year we don't watch wrestling anymore but Cena was a part of many great memories for us as he grew up.

Props to Cena for a great career.

re: How is Meta AI so terrible?

That means that when asked to identify the human between GPT-4.5 and another actual human, nearly 3/4 of participants said that GPT-4.5 was human and said that the actual human was AI.


The AI critics in here are in denial.

The rate of improvement is astonishing. The errors are meaningless in the big picture.

Take the changes we have seen in the last 30 years due to the Internet and imagine even greater change compressed into the next 36 months.

And kneeling it each time in shotgun. Lost 6 yards every time. Then yanked a punt. Gave them free yardage


Even with the crappy punt they would have been ok had they been kneeling from under center. They have up 18 yards kneeling it out. SCC wouldn't have sniffed field goal range.

Shaw coaching staff completely clueless. Laughing on the sideline while thinking they’re kneeling it out. Meanwhile SCC is calling timeouts. Didn’t stay locked in


Not to mention their victory formation from the shotgun which was a 6 yard loss every snap.

If they just snap under center and kneel SCC doesn't sniff field goal range even with the terrible punt.

That was unbelievable.

You will see these will be true, even if they can pull the wool over many people's eyes (like JFK) for decades.

In the end, you will see this will hold to be true.


You may be right but what Candace Owens is in another universe from what you posted.

She has a new theory of the case everyday and dives headlong without any evidence. It's completely irresponsible.

The accused will have a trial and we will see the case against him and only then will we be able to evaluate the facts.
I don't care who controls any of Ukraine. For a good part of my life Ukraine was part of the USSR. We were fine here and that's when the USSR was a legitimate global power.

Just play the long game like China and forget about Russia. The demographics are so bad it will barely exist in 50 years.

Eastern Ukraine belong to Russia until someone can force them out. The Ukranians aren't capable.

Do we really want Americans dying over a couple hundred miles of eastern Ukraine ? And risk nuclear war? Give me a break.

Best of luck to Ukraine in their fight but it doesn't have anything to do with us. It's not 1938 no matter how much the Ukraine bros wish it were.

It's a cripple fight, they can go at it forever if they choose.

Im not sure why everyone is freaking out about the midterms. Republicans stand to gain 19 seats from redistricting.


So they will lose 30 seats instead of 50. They have a 4 seat majority.

Redistricting won't help them.
