Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing
  • Whitmer or whitehouse woukd be better, but the way the DNC plays things, they would obviously choose the weakest candidate for no reason other than to not seem biased against their opposition. It’s fucked. The whole thing is fucked.

  • Biden says ‘we did well,’ no concerns about debate performance [Brett Samuels | 06/28/24 | The Hill]
  • Well, Biden is a smart person, an intellectual, and he has experience in political positions. He is too far away from being new in politics to understand how important optics are. He doesn’t understand that the electorate is so fucking stupid that it doesn’t matter how good he is on policy. It doesn’t matter how good he was keeping his opponents eyes him check. It doesn’t matter how well he answered the questions, all that people are going to see Was him with a cold dealing with a stutter, stumbling over his words and taking 15 second pauses to catch his train of thought. We’re fucked. We are totally fucked. This Debate was not for the people still making up their mind (

  • Electricity prices in France turn negative as renewable energy floods the grid
  • What is your source on that? I heard some news about china making some breakthroughs on sodium ion batteries but I am waiting for independent confirmation on that because, well china has let us down more often than not with “bleeding edge” tech.

    I was thinking molten salt would be a better energy sink for the here and now.

  • Chip startup Etched says its Sohu chip, designed only to run transformer model AIs, is approx 100 times faster and cheaper than Nvidia's next-gen chips.
  • People, this is fucking awesome.

    While it doesn’t take much to be 100x cheaper than Nvidia, the excess compute produced by these transformer geared ASIC’s could lead to an AI boom analogous to the difference between a modern smartphone vs. the “computers” used on the Apollo missions. That will be super cool.

    I have some experience using ASIC’s for different purposes and it is just crazy how much efficiency they have over general purpose chips when it comes to both initial cost and power consumption.

    If this works out, we could see the currently exponential AI growth get “exponentially exponential” or something.

  • Louisiana’s Ten Commandments Law Signals a Broader Christian Agenda
  • Theism is just a shit ideology.

    It’s one thing to have your beliefs, but if your beliefs are so fragile that the believer can’t handle anyone else not believing their stuff, it’s kind of a sign they don’t really believe the stuff they are forcing.

  • The Supreme Court has a lot of work to do — and little time to do it
  • Of course these biased, partisan, activist judges are waiting until after the election to rule on anything even remotely related to their agenda.

    Voting is important. Vote in every election so we can at least have a chance at expanding the court to dilute the federalist societies (the bad guys) agenda.

    The corruption of the judicial is one of the hardest problems we will have to fix as a nation, and we need to actually try to do something about it.

  • IRS says 'vast majority' of 1 million pandemic-era credit claims show a risk of being improper
  • Any companies that make their money helping other people get government benefits, are usually sleazy and to be avoided.

    So it looks like it wasn’t a bunch of widespread individual fraud, but a bunch of sleazy companies popped up selling the “service” of helping companies qualify for these benefits, and basically committed fraud on the small businesses behalf, telling them and the government that said business qualified for these benefits.

    Whenever something shitty happens, there is always a sleaze bag there, makin’ money.

  • 376 boys in blue sat around and let 19 kids and 2 teachers die
  • You are completely right, I just think that if it was BLM storming the capital way more than one person would have been shot.

    Only 14 people were taken into custody on the day of the j6 insurrection, and only one person was shot.

    They were already using rubber bullets, they very well could have escalated in kind with live ammunition, we are talking about government officials here, not retail store windows.

    I understand that there is nuance to this situation, but I just had a visceral reaction to seeing this group get the kids gloves treatment after months of seeing the standard police response to protests that they didn’t agree with.
