  • You literally said “what democrats want” in your last paragraph of your last post you turnip, and said that they want illegals to vote in them.

    Yeah, what lower case democrats (and by extension capital D Democrats allegedly) want and believe in as a core tenet is for the public to vote on small scale measures that affect them directly. Shocker, I know. But tell me, did you think they meant elections instead of these issues? Because you're glossing over the scale of these initiatives quite conveniently.

    Also, should my country stop taking young people's votes? Imagine children voting to give an opinion for the local council to hear! I may just clutch my pearls thinking they're electing officials.

  • “illegitimately” is the key word there. I’m not interested in what you think happens if everything is working as intended, or your poor reading comprehension

    Oh the irony. Database and procedural logs are automatic and extensive, that's why I mentioned them. No amount of "illegitimate" actions would sidestep them. Go back to school.

    Logs, eh? You know those are just text files, right? And how do you plan to get access to them to prove any kind of mistake or malfeasance, exactly?

  • look at which ones are voting democrats are voting independant, and target those areas for voter suppression, its simple as that.

    Jokes on them. I cancelled my voter registration the day after the last election.

  • Do it legally.

    Is selling meth "wanting a better life and pulling your bootstrap"?

    If they are selling method then simple police work is needed to catch them. No need for ICE. Be intellectually honest, you know selling meth isn't really happening.

  • You said that commuting a crime of wanting a better life is ok, so I asked if wanting a better life by selling meth is ok……and you said yes….so yeah, your opinion isn’t really necessary after that.

    Are you the type that wants free markets and small government?

    You need to look up the definition of the word “election” mate.

    Well no, they’re not just text files lol.

    You’re basically saying that everyone that can have anything to do with the database and systems around it are corrupt and working together. That’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

    No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them. Rules and procedures don't matter if the people in charge ignore them. And again, you're not getting access to any of the data we're talking about in the first place, because the government would have to grant that access, and you're not a person as far as they're concerned in this scenario. What organisations have you worked for that would just give out information to a person they can't verify the identity of?

    That’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

    No, it's happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you're up to speed.

  • You need to look up the definition of the word “election” mate.

    Of all the things you could've said, that's what you chose to comment on? Don't start looking silly now and start arguing semantics. You came at this strong. What happened? Losing confidence all of a sudden when called out?

    Anyway, I'd love that for you!

    I don't know if you know, but generally speaking, an election is a vote held to choose who holds political power. And less commonly, it's used in the general sense to make a generic choice. I chose one definition over the other deliberately to make a distinction about the purpose of votes on a referendum or ballot initiative that are less commonly said to have been "elected". But you know, I won't get mad if you "elect" cake for breakfast over scrambled eggs. You do you, boo.

  • but the majority of undocumented immigrants in the US don’t enter that way.

    Doubt, especially given what we saw from 2021-early 2025.

    You're free to go look at the statistics easily found, I'm not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

    Yes, I chose to comment on that because it shows you're arguing based on incorrect ideas.

    And less commonly, it’s used in the general sense to make a generic choice

    No it's not. You thought it was, but it's not. I'm talking about political elections, you're talking about voting to choose between options. Electing to choose something over another thing doesn't mean you held an election lol

    Words have meanings, and you clearly don't know what the words you're using mean.

    No, they don't - not when it's illegal, and especially not when it's something like this. You guys always love to bang on about the whole January 6 thing where Trump supposedly ordered all sorts of things of the ballot counters etc - and they didn't do it, did they? People say no to their bosses all the time.

    because the government would have to grant that access, and you’re not a person as far as they’re concerned in this scenario.

    So the DOJ/FBI/CIA/etc never investigate anything internal? I'm not talking about me specifically lol.

    Wait so this National Citizenship Database already exists and is already being corrupted with legitimate citizens being deleted from it because they're not registered Republicans?! Where can I read more about this? How was it exposed? You just finished telling me that there would be no way to know, didn't you? So how do you know?

  • You're free to go look at the statistics easily found, I'm not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

    So you tried but couldn't find them, because you're wrong. Gotcha.

    If AI gave you an accurate correct answer 99% of the time would you use it to find the answer to questions quickly? I would. I absolutely would, the natural language search of ai feels amazing for finding the answer to a question you have. The current problem is that its not accurate and not correct at a high enough percentage. As soon as that reaches a certain point we're cooked and AI becomes undeniable.

    Oh, Google... Just eviler and eviler every day. Not only robbing creators of any monetization via clicking on links but now just blatantly stealing their content for an even more efficient theft model. FFS. I can't fucking wait to complete my de-googling project and get you the absolute fuck completely out of my life. I've developed a hatred for Google that actually rivals my hatred for Apple. ‍️

    In this year of 2025? No. But it still is basically setting oneself for failure from the perspective of Graphene, IMO. Like, the strongest protection in the world (assuming Graphene even is, which is quite a tall order statement) is useless if it only works on the mornings of a Tuesday that falls in a prime number day that has a blue moon and where there are no ATP tennis matches going on. Everyone else is, like, living in the real world, and the uniqueness of your scenario is going to go down the drain once your users get presented with a $5 wrench, or even cheaper: a waterboard. Because cops, let alone ICE, are not going to stop to ask you if they can make you more comfortable with your privacy being violated.

    What would a use case look like? I assume that the latency will make it impractical to train something that's LLM-sized. But even for something small, wouldn't a data center be more efficient?

    I want to read his "Meaning of the City" because I just like City theory, but I keep postponing in case it's just Christian morality lessons. The anarchist Christian angle makes this sound more interesting.

    Sorry for the late reply, I had to sit and think on this one for a little bit. I think there are would be a few things going on when it comes to designing a course to teach critical thinking, nuances, and originality; and they each have their own requirements. For critical thinking: The main goal is to provide students with a toolbelt for solving various problems. Then instilling the habit of always asking "does this match the expected outcome? What was I expecting?". So usually courses will be setup so students learn about a tool, practice using the tool, then have a culminating assignment on using all the tools. Ideally, the problems students face at the end require multiple tools to solve. Nuance mainly naturally comes with exposure to the material from a professional - The way a mechanical engineer may describe building a desk will probably differ greatly compared to a fantasy author. You can also explain definitions and industry standards; but thats really dry. So I try to teach nuances via definitions by mixing in the weird nuances as much as possible with jokes. Then for originality; I've realized I dont actually look for an original idea; but something creative. In a classroom setting, you're usually learning new things about a subject so a student's knowledge of that space is usually very limited. Thus, an idea that they've never heard about may be original to them, but common for an industry expert. For teaching originality creativity, I usually provide time to be creative & think, and provide open ended questions as prompts to explore ideas. My courses that require originality usually have it as a part of the culminating assignment at the end where they can apply their knowledge. I'll also add in time where students can come to me with preliminary ideas and I can provide feedback on whether or not it passes the creative threshold. Not all ideas are original, but I sometimes give a bit of slack if its creative enough. The amount of course overhauling to get around AI really depends on the material being taught. For example, in programming - you teach critical thinking by always testing your code, even with parameters that don't make sense. For example: Try to add 123 + "skibbidy", and see what the program does.
