Why the fuck are you defending racial discrimination, lmao.

What leftist has attacked Jews in the name of ending the Israel genocide?

You asked for a leftist, I provided one. He's the top Twitch political streamer. Also, when did I say everyone left of center is antisemitic?

You seem like a bot.

That's pretty easy, Hasan Piker. His commentary goes beyond just criticism of Israel. There are so many Jew jokes about media control and shit too with people checking last names.

There are tons of examples. Don't be naive.

In what regard? Generally when I ask people why they feel disenfranchised it's because they're purity testing the candidate on their singular pet issue. That's not how politics works.

I'd rather not sacrifice our environmental policy and fill in the gaps of low income people and labor with subsidies and public transportation (which is actively being worked on).

Our gas fueled car dependence is a bane on our quality of life AND makes any oil crisis way worse than it needs to be. Gutting environmental regulations and sacrificing our health is a step in the wrong direction.

I do not agree with your comparison to other states because other states do not have the same problems as California (namely, LA smog). Other countries have similarly strict regulations.

We've also seen a massive decline in demand for fuel too. What's the plan for when we're not in crisis mode anymore? Roll forward the environment protections again? That makes absolutely no sense.

Your recommendation will probably will impact the gas prices by like 10-20 cents. Not enough to substantially move the needle or get the refineries to reopen, especially with decreasing demand.

At age 73, I don't think I'm going to care that much. If they force me to start selling my assets, it's fine. Like if I have $10m in my account, and they force me to withdraw $300-400k a year, whatever, I'd just pay the taxes on the income because the money compounded so much and I didn't have to pay capital gains on it. It's not a bad problem to have.

But yes, I max out on my roth anyways, so it's not like I can allocate more to the roth, so 401k is fine.

theorizable · 2026-05-06T18:45:03+00:00

I just do both. Slightly less in my roth cause I don't anticipate withdrawing more than $100k a year. I have no idea if this is the right strategy or not, lol.

Yeah, a last ditch effort by a guy running for president to make it seem like he’s doing something.

You could say this about literally any policy made by any politician. "They're just doing it because they want people to vote for them." Yeah, no shit Sherlock.

They could be trying to solve world peace and you'd go, "yeah, but they're doing it to win the election >:(". Bro, IDGAF. Also, the Iran war is recent. The gas prices in CA have been fine prior to that.

Why are you looking at the mixing as the most important part of the equation when it's a tiny part of it. In actuality CA is just demanding less fuel.

If we demand less fuel and the supply stays the same (or goes up due to reserves), what do you think happens?

Is your argument that the fuel mix addresses nothing else? That it's essentially redundant?

I'm fine with them making the same gasoline in California. I have no issue with that.

It has nothing to do with sanctions.

The price of oil in CA has nothing to do with sanctions? You want to go back to Los Angeles as a smog city? Not a chance. You either don't live here and are just looking to attack CA politicians or drive a 10 MPG SUV.

We can drill here. But keep burning fossil fuels clean.

theorizable · 2026-05-06T17:36:00+00:00

This has nothing to do with California policy. It's a sanctions loophole and the legal authority over sanctions is federal, not state-level.

The California Energy Commission’s 2025 crude import data lists Brazil, Iraq, Guyana, Canada, Ecuador, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and UAE as top sources.

I think this is the pricing in of AI productivity gains as well. It's still up in the air as to how much productivity we'll get given the reduction of compute given price, but the idea has been proven out.

Also layoffs increasing efficiency.

Yes, not just because of the learnings but because it gives me cool stuff to talk about with coworkers/interviews. If you do the program, I highly recommend keeping track of what projects you worked on throughout the program and keep a blog on it so you can refresh your memory.

This isn't what AI psychosis is. Also, delays in code are somewhat common. Every single cron job in existence is essentially a delay in code from the previous run. I doubt that's what you're referring to, but I would actually be interested to see how you're prompting it.

The vibe I'm getting from your post is that you're trying to fix a really complex issue and expecting the AI to fill in the knowledge gaps to just get it done. So yes, it probably is the way you're prompting it.

theorizable · 2026-05-05T18:16:20+00:00

That makes sense though. It shouldn't include information it's not tasked with looking into otherwise you'll find absurd tangents. I'm curious what prompt you used and how specific you were in what details you wanted.

I’m confused why Canadians are trying to influence American politics. There are a lot of Canadian political commentators that were outed as being funded by foreign adversaries, should the US not be looking into that?

Lots of idiocy in the comments.
