  1. I look at the Article III Project acronym in the background and I immediately wondered why there was a Russian word there.
  2. Modeling AI on human behavior as seen on Twitter means every person who has screamed about the dangers of AI getting out of control were not just right. They were downplaying the danger.
  3. I've been told that Huskies are assholes. The dogs, that is. UW grads? Not sure.
  4. Elon at next year's event?
  5. That ship done sailed.
  6. And even secretly trained the German Air Force in violation of the Versailles Treaty prior to World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipetsk_fighter-pilot_school Russians seem like they suck.
  7. Yeah, I recall them giving up some Migs and in return Poland and a couple of other countries provided air coverage for them until they could get western planes in place. So, you're welcome Slovakia!
  8. And I'm not sure if this is an issue in Britain or not, but if the ATM offers to convert the money for you, don't (i.e. withdraw in dollars and let the ATM change into pounds). Third party ATMs use a different, less generous, exchange rate than your bank is likely to do. I've heard it's an issue in Czechia and I've seen it in Germany.
  9. The Olympic Committee showing a bit of backbone. Sort of. Still punts on whether Russians will be allowed to participate, probably under a "neutral" flag.
  10. Reagan gets credit for the economic recovery that followed Paul Volcker's steps to curb inflation. Who nominated Volcker as chairman of the Fed? Jimmy Carter. Life isn't fair and politics even less so.
  11. His anecdote includes the word "sir" in the quote. That's a telltale sign it's all bullshit. Name this expert. Who is it Donald? Maybe he and that Finnish forest raker can save us here in CA. Such a damn moron.
  12. I'm OK with a site containing ads. What grilled me a bit about the ads on surly were the constant pop out video ads and particularly the ones that took up the entirety of the screen warning me about a computer virus, requiring me to back out of the page to get back to the content. I've never seen ads like that on any other site I've ever been on. Surly would be an ideal place for Longhorn-connected companies or those selling Longhorn gear could advertise without abusing the eyes too much. It may be less money than the previous ad mix brought in. But it would be something going to a good cause and more relevant to our interests.
  13. Would like more confirmation. Not sunk. Yet.
  14. You'll need the sound on for full effect.
  15. The new guy being a Crimean Tartar certainly sends a message about Ukraine's intentions toward the recapture of that peninsula. Hopefully his effectiveness matches the positive optics.
