Just be sure to make it look like an accident.

I think I was still occasionally using Mac OS in early 1999, but I made the leap sometime that year.

Even more weird possibilities: would the DoE forcibly relocate the physicists and engineers who do this work? Or would California step in and protect them? In any case I think the number of weapons that wind up under the control of the State of California would not be zero. The same goes for bombers, and missile systems, of which California has the most flexible examples.

Sure, the production missile fleet is in Montana and N. Dakota, but those things are there to draw fire, not necessarily to be used. But Vandenberg and Edwards are in California. What happens to those?

They are controlled normally by the Department of Energy.

But sesession would be a weird event, and many things would change. Physical location is not one of them. And the physical location of the place where the most advanced nuclear weapons are designed and built is in California.

Would the physicists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore just pack up and leave? Or would they continue rolling out B.83s or something in between.

Loose lips sink ships.

I do not mean power plants:

Like I said, what emergency? They’re all made up.

What emergency?

In one neighborhood of that city.

This

We know who is really behind this stuff: Russell Vought.

The remaining question is: how to make it look like a suicide?

California is unlikely to give up their nukes.

Kerbal Space Program players: there’s an end?

If we limited drivers permits to the 8% or so of drivers who are actually competent we’d solve a lot of problems in several domains.

I self-selected as ineligible to drive years ago, and I’ve never regretted it. Of course I had to move away from my home country and learn a new language, but those are the shakes.

People who think the idiom is “how x looks like” rather than “what x looks like”, which is more correct.

Most of us can’t read as quickly as we can absorb spoken language.

I learned this directly when I decided to create English subtitles for French films and TV as an exercise when I was trying to get from B2 to C1 in French. It was a good exercise, but the result was unusable because the text often goes by too quickly to read.

That’s when I understood that it really is an art.

The subtitle artist must make descriptions work, punch lines land, and reproduce dialog with the correct gravitas. And they have to do it while cutting 50 percent or more of a meaningful, culturally-grounded translation.

It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing an id-less ml model could ever do.

When I’m speaking English I pronounce it Paris.

Lorsque je parle français je le prononce Paris.

This sounds dangerous.

Why! (CH)
