What I wrote happened. It's not "fake news". What remains to be seen is which polling stations remained open and which did not. This election may need to be annulled.

Lula used a justice he appointed to order polling stations to stay open past the agreed upon deadline without consulting the courts that are supposed to rule on election matters. That's election interference. I'm not convinced the population is going to see him as legitimate after that stunt.

People learning a new language do not need frontier intelligence in a foreign language. They need to learn how to speak conversationally at low cost. That's one of the things this does better than LLMs.

Nevermind the legal liabilities, how is their company viable with this sort of brand damage? Their other business lines aren't making toasters. It's the same line of work. They sell trust.

What are their nuclear codes? 123? I'm not joking. This is mortifying.

They combined all of the things that Formula 1 should never have restricted in one car. Damn impressive.

I had a similar experience after taking a many, many year break from dentists.

The first wanted to give me a root canal surgery and over 15 fillings. No thanks.

The second wanted to give me 8 filings, sell me an expensive bite guard for tooth grinding, which the first dentist did not bring up, and give me a fluoride treatment. No thanks.

The third dentist gave me 3 filings, said nothing about tooth grinding, and recommended a water flosser.

I got the three filings, bought a 'rest in peace' nightguard from amazon, started using conical hydroxyapatite toothpaste and a water flosser, and am taking another break from dentists! When I go again, I'll go to the third one. I found it impossible to figure out which is which from "reviews".

>Objects can also become cues that activate memories, momentarily bringing them back into focus.

Which is why we don't throw them away!

The thing most people here don't understand: all CEOs are sales people, and only some of them are technical.

Do you have a quantum computer from the future and a file of passwords that haven't been changed in 50 years? Complete nonsense.
