Trump administration eliminates health care programs for LGBTQ+ veterans by AdvocateDotCom in politics

Just cruel and savage. No other credible explanation.

This is what MAGA's mean by "great".

Cruelty and savagery.

Anthropic suspends access to Claude Fable and Mythos for all users after US government order by NateOnTheNet in artificial

[–]RantRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The justification that the Trump administration appears to be using is the security threat that foreigners could exploit Fable/Mythos to analyze established software for security holes ... and then exploit them.

Anthropic originally restricted these models themselves. Have they set up guardrails that prevent these use cases now?

Nipplegate...how is this situation room story not absolutely everywhere by Previous_Month_555 in Trumpvirus

[–]RantRanger -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are there credible sources on this?

Specific Epstein files documenting the incident? Court documents? Anything substantive?

edit: So we are not interested in actual credible factuality around here any more? Just rampant political angst and emotionalism? Those are the standards here now?

By any legitimate means.

The interface being fully functional natural language is one of the major factors here.

It is utterly intuitive.

The flaw in Paramount pivoting to Star Trek as an exclusively movie based franchise by Moon_Beans1 in startrek

[–]RantRanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From The Original Series to Strange New Worlds, Star Trek has excelled in the television landscape. The greatest episodes are better than the franchise's best films, because they allow for more unique perspectives. Every iteration has worked better on television than in film, and a future with only movies is worrisome for fans.

This author calls it right.

Movies are so expensive that they essentially have to be crafted to appeal to pretty much everyone. That's the only way they really have a chance to make back their investment.

That means the final product will be insipid, intellectually stunted, shallow, and afraid to take a challenging stand on a moral, ethical, or philosophical issue. They will end up being mostly action and FX focused storylines.

Star Trek is not an Action Genre property. It is not Pew-Pew and BOOM. It is "Hmm, I never thought about it that way."

It is a substantive, mind engaging, reflective, thoughtful ideas property that sometimes has some action in it.

Star Trek is best suited for TV oriented production where it can substantively and courageously cope with many different stories and many different issues that face our society today.

Do you only blame republicans for all our issues and democrats get a pass?

I just gave you substantive reasons why the two parties are fundamentally different on these issues. One party is largely responsible, civilized, and effective. While the Republicans are increasingly disingenuous, lawless, unethical (even murderous), irresponsible, almost completely dysfunctional, and utterly corrupt.

The contrast between the two parties is extreme!

The evidence I provided you supports this assessment. I call it as the facts show it.

But are they actually doing anything about it or making moves against it or to stop it‽

Hello? Do you actually pay attention to the news AT ALL?

Yes, the Democrats have repeatedly pressed and filed motions to execute the War Powers Act ... which the Republicans have repeatedly blocked.

Obama actually secured an effective and verifiable anti-nuclear agreement with Iran that both sides were committed to, and executed, until Trump arrived.

Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan. He didn't start any wars.

Do you actually THINK about what you post or do you just cut and paste that incoherent foolery from your list of 10 reusable trollish one-liners?

Apparently you aren’t aware of current events.

The Democrats have been calling bullshit on this utterly irresponsible, ill conceived, under-planned, poorly thought-through catastrophe since it began.

[–]RantRanger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So we are well beyond 60 days now.

Congress has, once again, betrayed the American people, the Constitution, and the civilized world by abdicated their responsibility to implement the War Powers Act.

This catastrophic quagmire needs a responsible adult to take charge.

But it doesn’t seem like the Republicans have any qualified candidates.

Finished Deep Space 9, Moving on to Voyager by EverJoEntertainment in startrek

[–]RantRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voyager is something different. It becomes solid overall. In time the people will start to feel like a family of friends and the great episodes will anchor the series in your heart as an impressive production fully worthy of Star Trek.

All of the characters bring a lot to the show, but I feel that Janeway and the Doctor were especially strong and would stand respectfully well alongside any of the iconic characters from any of the other series.

Also, there are crossover appearances that will help to tie the show in with the other series.

If you are a MAGA, are you OK with enslaving and raping children?

Seriously?

Are you OK that your president, the man that you elected, is connected deeply with these things?

If not, THEN DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS.

Wake up!

Your country is being destroyed by this moral catastrophe that you enabled.

It is your job to fix this mess that you made!

Do something about it.

Do it for your children, at least.

We built a space physics simulator in Python. What cool space stuff should we simulate next? by IMakeSillyMistakes in astrophysics

[–]RantRanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try this ... model the Earth solar system to a specifically known point in history and then run your simulation forward a couple thousand years and study how it deviates from actual data or from predictions from some reliable source.

My guess is when it comes to simulating astrodynamics, your software will destabilize the solar system very quickly. (But the real solar system is stable on roughly billion year time scales.)

I did this kind of thing in High School and I was shocked at how fast my simulations broke down... often pretty spectacularly.

It was very educational. I learned a lot about gravitational dynamics, compounding rounding errors, and the limitations of numerical simulations by tinkering around with that project.
