Not a map, but things I’ve seen on the roads in Boston:

  • Left turn only from left lane, straight or left from 2nd lane, straight or left from 3rd lane
  • Green light and perpendicular traffic coming to me on the cross street, also going, because they also have a green light
  • Two lanes, surprise! Lane markers go away it’s one lane, not defined who yields, you guys can work it out

Yeah, but is there something rigged-up about it? Aside from the entire unsafe thing and him eating while he’s looming.

What am I looking at here?

Not only that, but:

Initially, three U.S. servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and rescue hiding civilians were shunned, and even denounced as traitors by several U.S. congressmen, including Mendel Rivers (D–SC), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

What’s in Wikipedia doesn’t match my memory; what I thought had happened was that Thompson did more than “try to halt.” He landed his helicopter between US troops and a group of obviously harmless villagers and told his men to shoot the Americans if they tried to continue murdering the villagers.

He and the other soldiers who stopped the massacre and reported what had happened were viewed by most Americans as traitors at the time, and for quite a while after.

Absolutely top notch. All the songs I wanted to comment that you should add are already in it. 😀

Microwaving plastic containers is one of those things that US people collectively decide to pretend is safe, but it’s clearly not.

Not a financial hardship; I talked about that in some other message. I meant a physical hardship. Dude is basically a bear. I’m sure sweats are more comfortable for him unless he invests part-time-job level energy into finding good suits.

As much as I love Fetterman, I’m with the Republicans on this one. It’s the same reason you can’t curse in court, you have to stand up at the appropriate times and outwardly agree to show seriousness for the proceedings, etc: We’re here for a super important reason. Whole people’s lives will be changed based on what we do here. Take it seriously or GTFO.

I get that Fetterman is huge and wearing a nice suit every day would genuinely be a hardship for him, but there has to be some kind of solution that doesn’t step us one step closer to fistfights and drunk congresspeople on the floor. I don’t think MTG should be able to yell and be generally awful, I think Boebert should get in some sort of trouble that a private citizen wouldn’t get in for being publicly a drunken tramp, and I think everyone in congress should still have to wear suits. It’s important, take it seriously.

  1. I would be very hesitant to put my legal reasoning in the hands of an LLM. They’re not AIs, they just come up with plausible text completions. There have actually been cases by now of lawyers who’ve gotten fucked by using AI to try to save themselves effort and then it not being good enough for what they were expecting from it.
  2. If you’re convinced you want to do this, there are basic tutorials on Youtube - I’m not 100% sure but I think that instead of “fine-tuning” in the same way you would do to fit an LLM to a problem space, you want to import the legal documents into something like Chroma, then use something like Llama as hooked up to the Chroma DB. But again, I wouldn’t. For messing around with some things it’s fine, but for legal documents you really want a sentient intelligence involved in the process.
