  • Under US law, the president has the expressed authority to direct a subordinate to attach the presidential signature in an official capacity without the president present while granting that individual no more authorities.

    For the regular citizens, you have to be present or assign a lawful representative with legal authorities. So you couldn’t tell your secretary to attach your electronic signature to your mortgage loan papers unless she had power of attorney or was acting as your guardian. You can click a button to attach your electronic signature and send the document to whomever.

    So Biden was fine to sign without being present. I think their argument is that he was not capable of knowingly doing what he did due to mental condition. So they would have to prove he was unfit and determine when he crossed that line for whatever they are claiming to be valid and vacation possible.







  • We can do this, the problem is interface.

    Right now, there is the possibility to have AI create exactly what you imagine, if you can convey what it is you want and have the processing power available to generate the output.

    Without a psychic magic wish type interface, we fall short of being able to say “Do the thing” and get what we want. It takes a novel worth of outline to create a worthwhile output that meets expectations.

    That being said, I would probably create a false reality to escape into in order to cope with the realities of a meaningless and pointless existence that is wrought from the apathy inherent to prolonged misery from existential dread and the general state of things.


  • It’s a reference to WWII planes and survivorship bias. They were trying to figure out how to armor the planes that made it back so they would withstand more enemy fire, you don’t armor where the planes were shot because getting shot there doesn’t down a plane. You armor where they weren’t shot because the planes that were shot there didn’t make it back.

    SpaceX is purposefully messing around with with things so they can find improvements to make the ships more robust. They are going to lose more ships and that is a great thing for the long-term reliability and safety.
