And a CAC somehow magically prevents a heart attack?

In borderline cases it can tip the scale to prescribe statin rather than not. But telling you what has happened to your heart doesn't prevent heart attacks.

SO shows "like" questions--but doesn't do a very good job of it.

Yeah. It reached the point that basically everything was either homework or outside my knowledge.

And they're too aggressive about duplicates. My question shared almost nothing with the duplicate I was pointed to--yes, the answer was correct, but that's not a lack of research on my part as I never would have recognized the question as relevant.

I do think his pardon would stand if he didn't pardon himself. But can you picture him not doing that?!

I don't know why you're being downvoted. What they pulled in gutting the government was far worse than anything the CIA has done.

Didn't even do that--just about everything DOGE claimed was AI mistakes.

DOGE was people that believed bird-brained AIs could find problems. Accurately.

If he actually gives up power in 2029 I'm pretty sure he'll do a mass pardon. But since presidents aren't supposed to pardon themselves I wouldn't be surprised if it can be struck down.

I'll add to the dead bit:

Many years ago I did a search for my name and turned up a LOT of things I did not actually write. This wasn't LLMs, this was scrapers doing a poor job of scarfing up old content--comparing what I saw vs my recall of the discussions there was a lot of stuff that lost the quoting, words were attributed to me that were actually quotes I was responding to.

There's a big problem with transit in the suburbs: speed. I'm going to compare the two systems I have some reasonable idea on:

Local. Because of all the stops buses average 25 mph. Long runs, this adds up considerably. It can't be fixed without a lot more buses and a lot fewer stops.

Shanghai. Buses stop much less frequently. More walking, but a bus is not that much slower than a car. And the subway doesn't have traffic jams, long runs you'll almost always get there faster with walking/subway than by car. There is also a climate factor--they get more rain but much fewer extreme days.

The time consuming part is probably redacting.

Fundamentally, the job of a programmer is to precisely describe the fuzzy definitions given by the user. Natural language makes it easier to be fuzzy.

You're assuming people view all crime the same.

I'll applaud ignoring the open air drug market. It's a symptom, not a cause. The drug *war* is the biggest crime problem in the country.

I'd like to see a three way verdict: guilty/not guilty/innocent.

An innocent verdict would mean the defendant had proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they did not do the act and would put the state on the hook for all costs. A jury that hung between not guilty and innocent would be considered to be not guilty, no retrial. Reality works better when misdeeds carry costs for those who commit them.

Strong (and correct) indication of hidden fire--yeah, they're going to roll. And they are going to smash whatever they need to smash to get at the hidden fire.

Just because it didn't go big doesn't mean it didn't have the potential to.
