It shows that there is bipartisan support for it among rank and file voters. It’s really just the politicians that know that they wouldn’t stand a chance of winning under such a system that are against it.
I’m not sure it would survive a repeal measure vote, any conservative support it seemed to have has eroded because it hasn’t worked in their favor and their team keeps losing. I’ve even heard it blamed for elections that weren’t ranked choice like the Anchorage mayoral election. We’ll see how long it lasts but I’m not hopeful
Alaskan here - this is what I’m most afraid of. I can’t tell you how many coworkers (who are conservative) have bitched and moaned about how “That’s the only reason Peltola [D] won!”
It’s extremely evident that they simply don’t understand the system, nor do they want to. They’ve latched onto it as “the thing that made their pick lose” and so it must die.
Exactly my experience as well, I work in a very conservative industry and everyone who mentions rank choice voting blames the R losses on it. The first vote with it, it was clear that they had their head in the sand about how it worked because they thought it would fail, then came the “Rank the red” which didn’t work. It’s very surprising to them when people don’t vote the way they think they should. Their whole attitude is very childish and tribal.
Alaska also has a form of universal benefit income (UBI) from oil industry payments to Alaskan residents. The payouts arent enough to actually live on but it’s regular free money for a population that can actually use it.
I highly doubt they are putting LLMs on their little throwaway drones. The US military has actually been working on “let’s figure out what that thing is and blow it up automatically” technology since at least as far back as the 90s; e.g. modern warship defense systems use it to be able to react faster than a human can to blow up an incoming missile.
You are correct. Large language models like ChatGPT are a subset of deep learning, which is a subset of machine learning. Common examples of simple machine learning software are facial recognition, social media algorithms, speech-to-text, and predictive text.
There is no reason to include software as complex, resource intensive, or experimental as an LLM when dedicated ML will suffice.
I am not going to say which war this was but I have heard veterans tell stories of strapping the enemy soldier to their vehicle and driving slowly across a suspected mined area, usually the poor soul will quickly identify all the hidden explosive zones. Not saying this is what’s happening, just reminded me of the story. Fucking wars
Repeatedly? Unapologetically? Will continue to do so for personal gain? Apparently all the republicans are thieves literally trying to steal an election, murderers (running over protesters? Letting people drown at the border? Sooting people for pulling into the wrong driveway or knocking on the wrong door?), engaging in idolatry of the Republican Party and the flag, telling lies about their lgbtq and minority neighbors how they’re all rapists and muderers, putting kids and everyone else to work 7 days a week to keep Supply Side Jesus happy…
I dunno about honoring the father and mother? Keeping the racism, generational trauma, and subjugated woman themes going just like Mom and Dad?
Covet? Dunno what to do with that one…maybe the fact that others have rights, slowly escalating equality, and relief from burdens like student loans or hunger by free school lunches. The republicans want to take it all away.
The article mentions that he was telling this to the president of the UFC, so not really since thats sports type fighting, not military stuff like the french foreign legion is. It sounds more like just an attempt to make migrants sound threatening by declaring them to be physically tougher than other people.
I can’t help but think that this whole framing and construction is slanted as hard as it can possibly be to make this sound like a bad thing
The combination of “time for many of us to stand up for the majority in the middle” to make people on the left suspicious, along with framing in terms of a wealthy donor “dropping” an honestly not all that large amount of money into “an election already awash” with dark money and “outside spending” to make people on the right suspicious, is honestly very well done.
