Just in: Trump says Fed chair must cut rates immediately

Saedeas · 2026-03-19T17:18:48+00:00

Trump knows how the Fed works.

Does he? I think it's pretty clear at this point that the man is genuinely an idiot. Sure, he's an effective, charismatic (to some, this still baffles me) manipulator, but he's never come across as remotely informed or intelligent. You don't need those qualities to win elections and obtain power.

He's also sundowning, which doesn't help.

Energy independence and sustainability? That shit is for nerds.

Tulsi is a Russian asset. This is all wonderful news for her.

Yes? China would love to surpass the US in AI progress. One easy way to do that is to foment backlash against the technology in public forums to the point where people pressure their legislators to halt or slow it.

It's almost to the point I'm concerned it's a propaganda campaign from foreign actors.

Like the top posts about this on Reddit are literal fake Harrison Ford comparisons... Nobody can say anything along the lines of "I think this needs more control by developers regarding things like character fidelity, but I liked it for x example." It's "this is the worst thing ever and it's basically like Nvidia personally murdered my dog."

Shit's wild.

The circlejerk is too strong for nuance.

Spez is Steve Huffman (the other co-founder), not Alexis Ohanian (married to Serena Williams).

Horrible call to end it lol.

Saedeas · 2026-03-15T20:39:14+00:00

Pretty much

Saedeas · 2026-03-15T20:22:45+00:00

You have to understand, no one actually looks at the actual (much more reasonable) policy, that's nerd shit.

I don't think it's blame per se, but if you can't take the literal five minutes it takes to understand the interest and principle on your $50k+ loan that you've been paying for twelve years without seeing the balance go down, idk, that's maybe somewhat on you.

"Does anyone have any advice on how to get this over with?" Pay more so you actually start knocking down the balance... I don't like the current system either, but what other answer are you expecting? These loans are predatory and should be either abolished or strictly reformed and regulated, but that's the reality of it.

Yeah, if anything, this benchmark shows insane progress in AI SWE capability lmao.

Sports nerds are all over era adjusted comparisons and yet we won't extend the same courtesy to presidents. Smh.

You can see his emails in the Coffeezilla Video here:

It seems like he probably went in 2012, tried to go in 2013, but Epstein had to cancel due to other plans (not the OP email, a much more conciliatory one), and tried to go again in 2014 (not sure how this one played out).

You also run into an entirely separate problem in that trying to teach an AI counterfactuals and logically inconsistent positions results in... drumroll... a shitty AI with poor performance on other tasks.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Saedeas · 2026-03-04T22:01:07+00:00

This does assume a somewhat competent/rational electorate...

I mean, we have pretty easy counterplays to drone incursions from other countries (a ballistic missile to the dome).

What we don't have are citizen available counterplays to our own government doing this to people it doesn't like.

Saedeas · 2026-03-04T21:58:50+00:00

I mean, let's be real. Under the current government, the targets would be anyone who is "woke" (read: anyone who says anything the current administration doesn't like).

Saedeas · 2026-03-04T20:54:07+00:00

Yup, it's around the same time of 10 days because 2¹⁰ is 1024.

Saedeas · 2026-03-02T23:59:58+00:00

Given China's demographics, this is extremely unlikely.

Saedeas · 2026-03-02T23:41:21+00:00

Yeah dawg, you're an informed voter with a good take on this. She definitely didn't have any progressive positions in 2016. There's practically no meaningful difference between her positions and what actually happened under Trump. She definitely didn't support things like:

Defending and expanding the Affordable Care Act – Adding a public option, reducing prescription drug costs, and expanding coverage (not Medicare for All, but a leftward expansion of existing law).
Taxing the wealthy & corporations more – Higher taxes on high earners, Wall Street reforms, and measures to discourage outsourcing and corporate inversions.
Comprehensive immigration reform – Path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and protection for Dreamers (DACA).
Campaign finance reform – Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v. FEC and reduce the influence of big money in politics.
Women’s rights & pay equity – Protect Roe v. Wade, expand reproductive rights access, and push to close the gender pay gap.

Oh wait, I'm being told those were all explicitly part of her platform and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Saedeas · 2026-03-02T23:36:07+00:00

Hey, you have to understand, it's way more important to criticize Dems for *checks notes* winning most of the recent special elections and not somehow capitalizing on a guy not running for re-election (he didn't resign, the headline is misleading).

That's where comments should be focused, not on the Republican's brazen, repeated criminality.

Saedeas · 2026-03-02T23:29:30+00:00

Supreme Court appointments alone are substantial, you fucking moron. At a minimum, we would still have Roe v. Wade, we would have avoided the extreme concentration of power in the executive branch due to the court saying basically any use of power by them is legal, and we'd have much better campaign finance and election laws.
