I know you asked for CSV but it wasn’t showing up right so I saved it as PDF. Can I send that to you?

No no. I’ve been embarrassed and ashamed of plenty of them, but this one is especially malevolent.

I was just explaining to some of my overseas friends how embarrassed and ashamed I was of the current administration, domestically and abroad.

Less than 24 hours later, this fucking disgrace.

I can think of a few potential cut offs, taking differential calculus to be basic.

Integral calculus. Multivariate calculus. Differential equations. Epsilon-Lamba calculus.

But that’s just my opinion.

Adding on to that:

Obama had only the house for the first two years. The Senate has the filibuster rule which means control takes 60 seats.

On January 20th, 2009, 57 Senate seats were held by Democrats with two Independents (Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman) caucusing with the Democrats for 59 kinda’ Democrat-ish votes in the Senate. Two more needed for “both houses”.

Also, that included Ted Kennedy and Al Franken. Kennedy had a seizure basically at the start and never returned to vote. Al Franken wasn’t seated until July 7th, 2009 because of repeated recounts.

So really 57 Senate seats. Three or four more for him to have both houses.

Kennedy was replaced by Paul Kirk in September and three other people swapped parties. So Obama had full control of the House and Senate from September 24, 2009 through February 4, 2010.

Four months.

If you’re looking at that and thinking, “isn’t that when they wrote and passed the ACA?” then you’ve got a good eye and a better memory.

Good info. Thank you.

Oh! That could be it!

SPACE!

I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be “consensual non-consent”, which is a role play of sexual assault.

My guess is they lost the typesetting in a copy/paste. If you copy superscript or the unusual +/- character into an animation tool that doesn’t have the font or doesn’t recognize the typesetting it will drop the character or convert it to the nearest ASCII. If you’ve ever copied and pasted something into an email and had the formatting mangled, that’s like what happened here.

Surprisingly, ChatGPT is the mortal enemy of a lot of machine learning researchers. It gives people a bad impression about what the field is, poisons future training data, and gives AI researchers who make truly remarkable and useful things a bad reputation because everyone “hates AI” when they really hate the stupid VC backed circlejerk that becomes inevitable in a society like this.
