I will be interviewed on 60 Minutes tonight at 7 P.M. EST — CBS Television Network. Enjoy! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Oh we enjoyed it. Reminds me of the Nixon interview, “I am not a crook”
What’s interesting about Trump’s reply is he didn’t contest or deny being called a traitor.
The Military and the Secret Service have been DEMANDING a new ballroom for over a hundred years!!! Jeez! you ridiculers of Heros. It’s ridiculous.
“One day many will hang their heads in shame, when they realize the evil they defended, and the heroes they ridiculed.” –Unknown
Yes, now let’s try to decide who’s evil and who’s a hero.
Exactly, Bill — and history usually sorts that out pretty clearly. The ones who defended the lies, the censorship, the harm… and mocked the people who were right all along. We’re already seeing it happen in real time.

DON’T MOCK ME!!! Bill
just cuz I’m right all the time

A couple curious entries on the Humboldt Hilton guest list I see, but for different reasons
Are you gonna make us read the whole thing and try to figure out what seems curious to you?
it looks like Kyle got popped with meth in jail. we all know that tweak makes you stabby.
That’s one. A. Cook is the other. That guy has been in the booked sections dozens of times in just a few years. Multiple DUIs yet still manages to get hold of a vehicle somewhere, somehow and get another one. Court system just keeps letting him go. I’ve had the unpleasant experience of just being in his way a couple times at Old Town events where he decides to snap on people.
he was booked over 20 times just in 2012 which landed him on the Frequent Flyer list LOCO use to make. maybe the LEOs feel bad the DA didn’t charge anyone for (what appears online to be) the murder of his kid. it is still crazy how many times he has been arrested, it has to be in the 100s.
Independent Bookstore Day: Bookshop.org founder on how small retailers are taking on Amazon After 20 years of declining numbers, indie booksellers in the U.S. have come ‘roaring back,’ says Andy Hunter.

I remember Amazon when it was an independent bookseller itself in Seattle.

Thriftbooks.com but goodwill is hands-on and cheaper but random…..Berkeley , Yuk.
California billionaire tax gathers enough signatures for November showdownThe healthcare union backing the measure said it collected 1.5 million names — well beyond the 875,000 required to qualify for the ballot.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Supreme Court Wrangles With Police Use of Cell Location Data to Find SuspectsGeofence searches allow law enforcement to find suspects and witnesses by sweeping up location data from cellphone users near crime scenes.

What happens when you let AI have full control of your company’s production data base?
POOF!
“PocketOS is a SaaS platform that services car rental businesses. It used the AI coding agent Cursor, running Anthropic’s flagship Claude Opus 4.6. The business also relies on Railway, a cloud infrastructure provider that is generally regarded to be ‘friendlier’ than the likes of AWS. However, Crane reckons this pair created a recipe for disaster.
“Yesterday afternoon, an AI coding agent — Cursor running Anthropic’s flagship Claude Opus 4.6 — deleted our production database and all volume-level backups in a single API call to Railway, our infrastructure provider,” sums up the PocketOS boss. “It took 9 seconds.””
Once when running month-end processing I accidentally deleted the entire database — typed in DEL *.* wrong place. There was no backup — it had failed. I immediately typed in UNDELETE. All was well…
ALWAYS have a backup. We had three. One on-site for quick restore. I took one home every night. The third was FedEx Overnight to remote office…
In fact, I was hired and began my career there because of a backup failure that almost tanked the entire business. There was a joke about me being hired to run around making backups…
But what happens if AI does something similar, backup or not, in a situation where it triggers immediate real world, not just accounting, actions? Like stops medical devices or rerouts air traffic control? People can be awfully creative in finding ways to screw up. I suspect “AI agents” will be even better ar it?
I suspect that eventually such errors will be mostly prevented but until then it’s a learning curve.
Those problems are not only inherent in “AI”, but also in any engineered design.
In 1970s Dad designed a discrete clock circuit for a very popular economy digital voltmeter that used one component less than other designs, saving a lot of cost, resources, labor, etc. over thousands of units. Turned out 1 in 5000 times when powered up the circuit would be in a static state — it wouldn’t start. Powering down and restarting always worked.
You don’t think there will be enough of these, and it would only take one that is serious enough, for government to legislate the crap out of the companies selling such systems?
I never created any such system but my- uh hum- creative impulse behavior has broken a few. If I scare myself, the idea of a super-screw up is much more frightening.
I’m agreeing with you. 🙂
I used to work for a company that designed and manufactured hospital communication equipment — intercom and those code red switches you see nurses hit in emergencies & etc.. Extremely rigorous testing by UL to obtain UL approval. Regulations up the yinyang. Rigorous required quality control test procedures for each and every item.
Your concerns are very very real. Not only with AI. The unforeseen is, well, always unforeseen.
Newsome and LA’s DEI hires are now letting Georgia burn. They’re doing nothing about it! Neither is Canada. Thanks for nothing losers
Canada should at least be sending water.
Everyone knows water flows down. And if you look at a map, Canada is above the US.
Let’s hear it for the guy at the WHCD who sat calmly munching on his salad as the room erupted in chaos.
I should have posted a link for this, so when I went looking for one I found out how easy it is to be mislead even by genuine, unedited video. Here’s the first scene that I was referring to.

Then I found another version that changes the story.

In the wider shot, you can see that his behavior wasn’t much out of line. Lots of people weren’t taking it seriously either. The woman in the red dress is practically begging to be shot.

I sure am glad no rules are broken by the violence inspiring political rhetoric by non-violent protestors/commentators on this thread/website.
“ violence inspiring political rhetoric”

Yawn, another vapid red hat comment !
Outstanding deeply thought out response sure to quiet troubled waters.
Simplistic, low-brow response. Now you’re gonna whine about people being mean. Typical MAGA hypocrisy.
A simple response to a simple insult. This is another right here. Now has everything been made all even steven in the sight of those who seen the world that way?
Are you fulfilling your god-given–sorry, Trump-given–mission to respond to literally every single comment on this site?
You’re too easy.
But apparently not as easy as the person who responds continuously complaining about my responding continuously. BTW it is not a mission. It is an entertainment.
“It is an entertainment.”
Wow, your life must be boring as fuck.
