even though there's no direct evidence that trump is compromised by the epstein blackmail scheme, the behavior at this point is making it look a lot more likely. keep in mind the island wasn't the only place that stuff was going on- epstein had a large building in new york so those people wouldn't have appeared on the flight logs. there could be far more compromised individuals (including trump) than just people who flew to the island
before i was skeptical but now i'm really thinking trump is more than just an israel loving zionist. the beahivor is more like someone being blackmailed than just someone with a religious bias or having accepted campaign donations

Me: I’ll just add seamless Markdown support into HTML using JavaScript template strings, how hard could it be?
Markdown: Let me just change the order of the source and link text in links. And footnotes? You hadn’t thought about how footnotes alter source order had you, chum?
I’ve heard him admit some quirks / shortsightedness, but I think he’d repeat some unless the markup could remain natural to writers. The conventions grew from text email and newsgroups, where they were never intended to be read as formatted html.
The other was to make it look as little like “markup” as possible, and therefore, intuitive (the basic emphasis, bullets and headers are easily understood – even if reference links and tables are harder to write/dev than to read).

I don’t know exactly what the engineering behind it looks like, but it seems that the primary innovation is to create a “Inner monologue” where a variety of agentic “voices” discuss the question you asked from multiple points of view, figure out what to google, and then summarize those results then verify the answer.
You can see this process working if you hit the “thoughts” button as it happens.

Do you have good engineers yet in America?
I was listening to a compilation of old top gear episodes where they talk about American cars.
Only slightly interested in cars at all but the 3 guys are good.
I notice a theme off American cars having shit handling around corners and bends. Fair enough. You haven’t got any.
But then also the theme of massive big motors, and then you get less horsepower than a small European city car. 6L V8 motor and it makes like 180 horsepower.

Muslims support the perpetrators 😡
A trial is underway of two violent Muslim male suspects in Manchester, England who attacked and injured police in July 2024. They argue it was self-defense.
One unarmed female officer was beaten in the face, having her nose broken. Police body camera footage shows the officer bleeding and screaming as backup arrived.
Left-wing politicians and Muslims expressed support for the Muslim family at the time. Some Muslims even rioted outside a police station in Rochdale. minds.com/newsfeed/17903306801…
I have no idea what you are trying to interpret - the event was real.
It's the one that led to the arrest of those Muslim men with a video that has been spread as "violence against Muslims" 😡
And those colors are just what they actually use in that airport. They could not just cut them out of the picture.
I really don't get your point...
"Suyu derin göstermek için bulandırırlar."
Are all #ISO #auditors this fucking dumb or is it an act, to lure you into oversharing, revealing your process dirty laundry?
Srsly this guy (once again, 4/4 new auditor in as many #certification audits/inspections) is asking fundamentally basic questions that make me think "have you... ever... engineered anything in your life before? why are you an auditor."
Like explaining what a jira workflow is... or what a branch/merge strategy is. Fuck's sake.
Before I retired my coworker and I used to love our auditors. Love fucking with them, that is. Seriously, made our day sometimes, and we especially loved fucking with the new greenhorn auditors that just graduated college and got hired by Toilet & Douche (Deloitte & Touche) and we were their first assignment.
We didn't have ISO audits but we did have SOx-404 audits. (Sarbanes-Oxley.)
So many auditors were left crying and questioning their life's choices after we got done with them.
We never had a deficiency in the 17 years I was in my position, even after Deloitte (and their auditors) were told to find deficiencies that it looked bad that we never had any.
Then there was the time Compliance wanted to audit my PKI so they brought in some auditors from E&Y. Supposedly their top PKI people. Brought on a consultant for that since I was confident in my practices and implementation but I didn't have the same air of "authority" as someone who made a living doing PKI audits and PKI consulting.
Still passed with flying colors even after the E&Y auditors tried to claim that everything we were doing was bullshit.
I hate auditors. Love fucking with them, but hate them none the less.
Edit:
AND YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE OVERSHARING. I used to tell new employees when they came into our group: Treat the auditors like you would the Police.
Never divulge ANY information unless specifically asked for.
Never lie, but don't tell them anything.
And never let them take your evidence away with them. They want to see evidence, they can look at it on your screen in your cube. They can take notes. But they can't take anything physical.
@gme Damn, sounds like fun.
I would love messing with our auditors, but save for the one guy we had up to 3 yrs ago when he retired who actually _knew_ shit, it seems like we always get idiots.
Or maybe they're experienced in a hardware engineering concern and know what a BOM is, might know what "change control" means, but start talking software development and its like you're speaking martian. And heaven help you if you're an agile shop, it breaks their brains.
For us, most of our important backend systems were UNIX, Linux, and Mainframe. When I retired in 2022 we were well on our way to moving stuff to Windows but we would never be able to get completely off *NIX or the Mainframe and it was fun to see these auditors that had no idea was a Mainframe was, what an LPAR was, JCLs, /etc/sudoers, or *NIX permissions for files and directories, trying to make their square pegs fit into our round holes.
They'd come at us and tell us they've found all these deficiencies and we'd show them how their methodology was flawed and how there weren't any deficiencies, or they were inserting control parameters into our SOX controls where none existed.
Every year we got audited. Sometimes the same auditor would come back for a couple of years but the vast majority were stupid greenhorns who couldn't navigate the command line.
The fact that all of our processes were automated (and auditable) really made things simple for us too.
..........
BOM? Going to take a wild guess but is that a Bill of Materials?
..........
And oh doggy did we have change control. Ran the complete gamut where every tiny change had to be documented and approved. Which naturally slowed everything down and made the entire department less productive.
To when I left minor changes still needed to be documented but the approvals were much more streamlined. It was mainly honor system but everyone knew if you implemented a change and marked it as minor and it took something down or caused an outage you were going to have to get in front of the entire change advisory board the following week and explain why your "minor" change caused the outage (with the idea being that maybe it shouldn't have been a minor change to begin with.)
