Husband, Father, Grandfather, Gun Dealer. I will tick you off at least once in your lifetime, guaranteed - but you will be better for it.

WEll @AnthropicAI, I didn't have a flicker problem in need of CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 until you release a binary with a 'flicker' problem and lost my terminal buffer.

@StephenFleming Have used https://t.co/rt14fEUIzM in a pinch before. Worked well.

I use https://t.co/BNEDUZt28r primarily. It is not free. I pay $169 a year. It's set up under the business, but due to Caleb's medical needs, a lot of medical faxes run through it. Reliable.

They guy in the white shirt with the backpack should not be allowed back into the United States.

You cower in fear while your woman gets attacked until other men come to save her?

Holy fuck man I'm speechless.

I used to phrase it as:

Startup CEOs can’t share their troubles with their employees because they’ll quit.

They can’t share with their investors because they’ll get fired.

And they can’t share with their spouse because she will say “You never should have quit that job at the phone company!”

First there was no illness.
Then it was “burn pits”.
Now it’s low level Sarin gas exposure?

$500k for a select few Senators. 20 years of hemp industry progress destroyed. Yeah, what a great “win” for the right.

DGX Spark appears to be maxing out at only 100 watts power draw, less than half of the rated 240 watts, and it only seems to be delivering about half the quoted performance (assuming 1 PF sparse FP4 = 125 TF dense BF16) . It gets quite hot even at this level, and I saw a report of spontaneous rebooting on a long run, so was it de-rated before launch?

The new Buc-ees all seem to have a backrow of fast chargers and some of the older ones I've seen retrofitted.

Caleb and I were up your way last week for our hunting trip to Grayling, Mi. Wasn't sure we were going to actually make it up so didnt check in on you for a quick breakfast or dinner.

@cldfusnboy Seriously???

But how are they going to charge me $50 for my checked bag out front before security? :)

Delta has been the worst recently. If I checked a carry-on at the gate, I used to get to board earlier (and some extra snacks). Now it's just 'expected' that we all bring our bags through security to have them put in the baggage area anyway.

If you have been "mirandized" and you answer 'yes' to the follow-up question "Do you understand these rights?", is there precedent that is used for/against this being a waiver of 5th amendment rights? (Google search seems to be confused by my query)

Maths is hard! We can all help the courts out to make freedom stealing easier for them.

R(cal)=R₂​₅⋅(dcal​/d₂₅)β

R₂​₅​=2.20
d₂​₅​=0.251
dcal = diameter (inches) of chosen caliber
β=0.5\beta

WOW! Illinois' lawyer just argued you only need 2.2 rounds for a self-defense encounter.

That's why the Founders required every militia man to have a minimum of "Twenty-four Cartridges suited to the Bore of his Musket."  U.S. v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939).🔥

My dad worked on 45 foundations of the 60 reactors we once had in the US.

Each of them took two years to build in the 1950s and 60s.

It does not take forever to build a reactor. It takes forever to get the DOE and AEC to make up their minds what the reactor has to be built like. And even more 'forever' to get all the lawsuits done.

Building a reactor put Westinghouse out of business.

@space_stations @StephenFleming I like that phrase, double jurisdiction. And we have seen scenarios like this unfold. Homeowner defends himself in his home, jury acquits, aggressive fed steps in and hits them with a rights claim as I mentioned above. It’s a no win.
