It's comforting, at least, that the electorate sends people who will keep important agencies like the EPA & FDA healthy and who will only appoint the best & brightest to run them.

Very cool. It eventually got stuck for me, too, towards the bottom. Stuck detection would be a next step.

Then you could plot the change in score for the current war, and overlay other plots that different wars took.


For context, here’s an old article about how he kept asking his advisors about actions against Venezuela throughout his first term. Old flames never die.

Why do you think it would not be possible?


To make a new cell "live" it must be neighbored by three live cells. And in 2d, a cell only has two neighbors.


A 1d row of cells also affects nearby cells above and below the line. Consider a row of three cells:

That produces a spinner, because the empty cells above and below the 1d row have three live cells nearby.


Yes, which is not what adzm asked for.


s/2d/1d/ right?


Oh, right.


I see what you're saying, but I think it's a misunderstanding. 1D here only means that there's some state where the active cells are confined to one row — but one row within the ordinary 2D GoL plane. I'm sure the next iteration leaps off the line immediately. Search for "Blinker" here to imagine how it could start spreading off the line.

Right, but that's not what adzm was asking about.


The GP understood that.


I had a similar experience, signing up for the first time to give Gemini a test drive on my side project after a long time using ChatGPT. The latter has a native macOS client which "just works" integrating with Xcode buffers. I couldn't figure out how to integrate Gemini with Xcode quickly enough so I'm resorting to pasting back & forth from the browser. A few of the exchanges I've had "felt smarter" — but, on the whole, it feels like maybe it wasn't as well trained on Swift/SwiftUI as the OpenAI model. I haven't decided one way or another yet, but those are my initial impressions.


Once one does spend some time to become comfortable with the language, that feeling of messiness with unfamiliar syntax fades away. That's the case with any unfamiliar language, not just Rust.


I used Rust for a year and still wasn't used to the syntax, though this was v1.0 so idk what changed. I see why it's so complicated and would definitely prefer it over C or Cpp, but wouldn't do higher-level code in it.


Trying to figure out if this observation was intended to frame it so that it's less|same|more scary. The effect is more, but it sounds like the intention was less.


Could you explain how “no confirmed meeting” implies “they never met”?


You think he snuck out from secret service and had an off-the-book thanksgiving with a pedo?

I'm saying there's no direct evidence he did and on face value it's ridiculous.

He was meeting the troops and golfing with Tiger Woods and happened to be in the same state Epstein had a house in.

Have any evidence otherwise, or just conspiracy theories?


With any other administration I would have granted you that leap in logic, but we already learned, three years ago, from Stephanie Grisham that he held off the books meetings specifically to circumvent record keeping laws. So I think a slightly higher standard of evidence is needed before we dismiss the possibility that he met with the pedo who likely had dirt on him.


You have the standard of evidence reversed.

You need to prove what you're accusing him of, not the other way around.


Sounds like you’re assuming that standards for charges/trial should also be used as standards for inquiry/investigation. That is not the case.


By all means investigate away on the thanksgiving email, you will find nothing as nothing exists.

Choosing resources to investigate hearsay that is easily disproven is a waste of time though when you have actual evidence of direct correspondence.

Noone is falling for this crap anymore btw. The Trump smear stuff doesn't work as everyone cried wolf too many times.

Very telling you spend this much energy on a silly email talking about Trump vs people who actually talked and met with Epstein.


Are you Donald? How can you be certain that nothing exists?


> Epstein and pohl are down here in Florida

Wow that's damning pohl, prove you weren't with him.

Even if you provide detailed logs of your whereabouts, that won't be enough because I assume you're lying.

Hearsay is a bitch isn't it.


> News is not the place for bias

TBH, I think that journalists tying themselves into pretzels in an effort to remain unbiased does more damage than the presence of some bias. As a consumer of news, I want journalists to be biased, for example, towards the rule of law, the preservations of institutions, and checks & balances, and even norms.


Gives you popcorn lungs, but it is technically a replacement.


> Gives you popcorn lungs

This is a myth. You could be confusing the story of the factory workers who had popcorn lung, or you may be thinking of the bootleg marijuana carts which had vitamin E in the mix, in either case the story is wrong and also about a decade out of date.

Vapes do not cause popcorn lung.
