I gave it some *very* brief notes on PC's, then started generating a new area associated with [PC name] and it was able to make the connection correctly.

I really wish I had all the updates from the beginning of the campaign. It would have been nice just as a tracker.

I actively discourage you from answering.

This is a bad question to ask a site full of neurotics.

My pro Kurdish stance is entirely "we owe them"

I can't imagine the argument that makes this a LOAC violation, here's my suggestion to you all: call it cowardly

The lack of ambiguity is exactly why. Nobody's lining up on the other side to say "that was fine actually." This however is something that can be discussed, even if the discussion is stupid, and so that's where the discussion is.

I'm not going to argue the point tonight because my wife will be pissed, but uh, this is exactly the thing a lot of say is happening and what leads to people wildly misunderstanding inter alia antisemitism

I know less about how recent the strong ethnic sorting is in Asia but uh the sorting is strong and everyone hates each other so it applies there too, lest I pick on Europe too much.

Like real multiculturalism is largely a new world phenomenon and we have a lot of rough edges.

They're surrounded by ethnic majorities who have created safety by doing that? See also Europe

Assume this read is right, what an odd exclusion. You can seriously fuck up your life with bad tax advice

There's an upper limit to how much mischief you can prevent a user from causing and there always will be, people actively evading your guards aren't the party I'm most worried about protecting. You do need careful drafting to avoid the easily disabled guardrail problem of course.

The law also targets not the AI model makers, but the services that deploy chatbots which seems right. This can also include the AI model makers but treating it as a tool is the right approach.

If the chatbot says it's a chatbot, tells you that it can't give you legal advice, and then you use some emoji string to trick it into giving you legal advice. I think that's mostly on you.

NY State Senate Bill 2025-S7263 Imposes liability for damages caused by a chatbot impersonating certain licensed professionals.

Bill text here. I'll look up the references later. What's problematic to me is that this probably still allows a TOS waiver on the one end and doesn't allow jailbreaking as an affirmative defense.

With our absurd range and air advantage usually! Like we use cruise muscles to destroy the SAM sites and then we use bombers to blow up anything that can shoot high enough to hit an airframe and that's that

This is a short bill that references other areas of law and it needs work but the overall framework makes sense to me.

In my day the only reason the US was supposed to be immune to enemy counter fire was because of an absurd range and air advantage

Wild to me that everyone talks about missile interception like it's totally normal and also expect the US to bat 1000

Costco: what if we did what we said and we were very good at it? Would that make money? (Yes)

Uh, no that's Costco-speak for their usual business model not refund checks. To be fair to them, they really do deliver low prices and value!

We also need to have a doctrinal revolution on the presentment clause

There was a time when this sort of thing was justifiable, there was some sort of generational switch where old cars had nearly useless lights but right now cars roll off the line outputting a perfectly adequate number of lumens

Searching for replacement headlights online and I do not love that I am immediately presented with ULTRA SUPER BRIGHT drop in replacements.

I was tempted, but we do, in fact, live in a society!

Even if you want to give the CIC some flexibility mobilization should be impossible without active Congressional action and we should have a fairly low threshold for what is considered mobilization

My wife has banned C dramas from the household because she is big mad about how they unpersoned a star of a drama we were watching and this annoying to me since there's not a lot of other sources for wuxia nonsense.
