@johnkonrad You don’t need a high sat score to learn the reisenbeeg saying and join the proud American merchant marines

Apparently I’m the bad guy for asking what the person dating my kid got on the SAT. Not sorry.

i think the best argument in favor of llm's being stocastic parrots is that claude is just getting baseball player's names wrong. calling emerson hancock eric, and merrill kelly mike....is this really the path to agi lol

@AWOAdvocacy @mercoglianos @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump @JDVance Zero sum thinking lol

If the Jones Act goes away, U.S. maritime collapses: 🌍 Foreign flags flood domestic routes 🏚️ Shipyards go dark 👷‍♀️ Jobs disappear 🔗 Supply chains outsourced 🛡️ National security undercut Stop the waiver. @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump @JDVance

@dantebenedetti3 @sfrantzman What do you mean fools lol? The reason why Hamas and Hezbollah still exist is because bibi refused to answer those questions cause he calculated that a forever war was advantageous politically

@sfrantzman of course, a long-term strategy is desirable. BUT, first one has to survive the short- & medium-terms. any l-t strategy developed a yr or 2 or 3 ago wouldn't be of much value today, would it? reminds one of the fools who were yammering in 2023, "but what abt the day after?"

On multiple fronts Israel needs long-term strategy jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

@mercoglianos @VanceGinn @cpgrabow I think this makes a stronger case for slowly repealing the jones act and reinvesting American energy export surplus into our shipping industry

This what that waiver is providing Americans. MV Bulldog shipped 300k barrels of gas from New Orleans to Port Everglades. Was their a shortage of gas in South Florida above the normal consumption rate due to Hormuz? Also, she loaded that cargo on March 12 and the waiver did not go into effect until March 17. At that time she was sitting off Vera Cruz, Mexico with this load. What appears to have happened is that they saw an opportunity to make some quick money off the US. As she sailed to Port Everglades and sat off the port for a week and then offloaded. Then sailed to New Jersey, loaded 300k bbls of gasoline and pulled it out of the US and delivered it to France. So, she could have just taken that load of gas she had off Vera Cruz and gone right to France but instead saw the opportunity to double pump and dump a load in Florida and then pull a load of New Jersey. So, this is definitely a succes for Valero Refining and the owner of the ships - Grace Ocean, Singapore. Florida has 300k barrels of gas but New Jersey does not when the mid-Atlantic has higher gas prices than the Lower Atlantic.

"We commend President Trump’s decision to issue an additional 90-day suspension of the century-old Jones Act, and we ask Congress to make the suspension permanent by repealing this outdated law. The Jones Act requires cargo shipped domestically to be carried on vessels that are U.S.-built, owned, and flagged and crewed by Americans. While originally intended to strengthen American maritime capabilities, it has become a costly, counterproductive barrier to efficient commerce. Its repeal is long overdue." I'm glad to join this coalition letter by @AFPhq! @AmericanFreedom @taxreformer @AmerComm @AEA

WHAT THE FUUUUUUCCCKCKKK?!?!!?!

@mercoglianos @POTUS Lmao

Myself reading @POTUS post on the suspension of Project Freedom.

SCOOP: President Trump's decision to suspend a controversial maritime law during the Iran war has made it easier to ship oil across the U.S. — and now he wants to keep it that way, according to American officials. trib.al/Jas1GQk

My wife: . . . you're still going to do the dishes tonight, right?

@BarakRavid @grok could you please translate this post to English?

@sfrantzman When the pm has been the same guy for most of that time and his policy is just surviving to the next elections this is what happens

Kind of fascinating one can go 26 years and basically be back at the same point again and again.

Also happened back in 2000, although not sure a flag was left there that time

@sfrantzman Not even pretending to have a domestic agenda to improve American lives anymore

Last year the Trump doctrine was about peace and solving eight conflicts, but this year it seems to be regime change and wars? What changed?

@trevorAron @legendtrade @MINHxDYNASTY Some are whispering he may be better than light and gcr combined

last night was electric -- congrats to the @legendtrade team for throwing such a great event the production value was top notch took 3rd -- lost by a sliver in the semis to @MINHxDYNASTY with an insane buzzer beater the future of trading is competitive

@graphtheory Lmao

DevOps engineers? You mean the deployim?

@sfrantzman Or maybe people are mostly reasonable and think the Houthis and domestic gun violence are bad things lol

Weren’t the Houthis, for a short time, a cause celebre among some western students… “turn another ship around”? It’s interesting the same folk in the west who will shout about “gun violence” always seem to like the guns in the hands of kids in foreign countries…

@johnkonrad Your cult leader said we already won tho?

Because most of the media and europe and academia want us to lose.

@andonlabs Would the ai be able to file a lawsuit on its own if I stole everything from the store or destroyed or vandalized it?

We gave an AI a 3-year retail lease in SF and asked it to make a profit. The AI interviewed and hired full-time employees, applied for credit, and stocked the store with the books Superintelligence and Making of the Atomic Bomb. Visit Andon Market at 2102 Union St now.

@TheStalwart Wasn’t there a horrible case where a girl was basically raised that way in an abusive home? The effects were terrible

The “forbidden experiment” — raising a child with no language exposure — is forbidden for very good reasons. But has anyone studied the opposite, what happens to children in extreme polyglot households? Like where they’re hearing 8 languages with equal regularity from birth?

@elikowaz Unironically comparing Israel to Sparta is so retarded. Sparta was a terrible place to live for the average helot outside of its eventual loss of hegemony

Netanyahu called Israel 'Super Sparta' recently. We all know what happened to Sparta. Now he says Israel is at the height of its power. Military power without political strategy isn't strength. No plan for Gaza, no plan for Lebanon, no endgame with Iran, creeping annexation in the West Bank, no real normalization progress, no plan for when Trump is gone — and an international reputation in freefall. He's governing for himself, not for Israel's future.
