And lies. Don’t forget, more than anything else, Trump ran on a campaign of non-stop lying.

Okay. I don’t apply decals straight to bare plastic, because I’m not 10 anymore (j/k, kinda), so I’ll take your word for it

Counter argument: apply stickers, then line panels, and only then spray on the clear coat.

Because we’d see evidence of M-AM anihiliation at the “border” between the two types of matter.

It looks like a problem with either the mesh (3d model) or maybe textures. You can also get wierd drawing issues if, for example, they used a short cut to render extra people on screen for a cut scene.

I think that’s an overstatement. He realized we weren’t going to stop him from invading Georgia or Crimea, but that’s not anything new. We didn’t stop the Soviets from rolling through multiple countries, because honestly, none of those countries were worth a nuclear war.

I was referring to Dubai, but yeah, under Duerte, a little powder will get you murdered by the Philippines too. They don’t even bother with a trial either.

That rule was stayed by a federal judge, and is likely to be rescinded by the Trump aministration before it ever goes into effect. So, yeah, low level managers will continue to be fucked over.

Yes, except the courts will drop the hammer on you if you step outside the line. Even though, as an expat, you’d get to drink booze, if you ever invite a local over and HE drinks...it’s hammer time. And by hammer time, I mean jail time. Unless you like drugs instead. Then they’ll just execute you.

Nope. America just let’s poor people die. A man at the 20th income percentile will live to about 77. One at the 90th should live to be almost 90. If, and only if, you can afford it, America offers some of the longest lifespans in the world.

Except Trump never dressed all that well. Looking like shit has even become part of his brand, which is why he’ll die before changing his hair style.

It’s gonna be 4 years of utter dysfunction as his team of egomaniacal billionaires and rabid-but-lazy hacks fight over his disinterested attention. He legally cannot dump all of this on Pence.

Sure, and they’re already okay with Top 40 radio, because trendy is good enough. Niche interests don’t provide enough data to paper over the fundamental problems with NNs.

He’s hired science deniers to his transition team, at least in name. Who knows how much authority they’ll have, or whether or not they’re simply red meat to get the base off their asses for a few weeks. I’m not aware of him hiring any agency heads yet. He’s not even done figuring out the departments.

You discount the possibility he’s lying just to mollify the Times and their readership. When it counts, such as appointing officials and implementing policy, he may well return to form.

Sure, you can paper over the fundamental problems with a big enough firehose of data. But it’s still a fundamental problem.

Except your neurons do not weight statistical probabilities. NNs are vastly more like the human mind than traditional computers, but only in the way that the Andromeda galaxy is vastly closer to us than a quasar. Both are still so far away as to make the distinction meaningless.

I really object to the assertion that neural networks work like the human brain. They really do not, even if that’s what they aspire to be.

Ha. Clinton has the charisma of a wet sack of potatoes. Thiel manages to make her look like JFK’s bipartisan lovechild with Ronald Reagan. Neither of these people will be president, because both suck the air out of the room and replace it with the gaseous form of awkwardness.

The DoD is still buying 30 year old AN/UYK-44 computers?
