He personally guarantees 40 billion from 111 bilion for the Paramount - Warner Bros acquisition.
I do wonder if this might put the financing there at risk lol.

Boy you’re in for a ride.
Palantir runs on Oracle Cloud.
Oracle finances Paramount buying out Warner Bros.
Other shady shit Oracle does: …substack.com/…/the-merger-that-needed-a-war
Basically think Oracle is a competent League of Evil that can hide from the media spotlight.
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 1 week ago:
Literally! They were told to return to office to achieve higher productivity (it was circling the news around September?)
- Comment on Deaths of 22 children in Channel due to ‘catastrophic failure’ by UK and France, NGO says 1 week ago:
Yeah, no, Turks crossing from France are not the same as hiding jews during the peak of the fucking holocaust.
- Comment on women 1 week ago:
male victims were provoking, i.e. asking for it.
What the heck is wrong with you?
- Comment on women 1 week ago:
But they do commit ~50% of spouse murders, so at least thet have that for them?
Oh, and the women are vastly underrepresented in the victim statistics.
Interestingly, some researchers when they control for provocation, do find that the difference is because of gender norms, and without them the violence rates equalize

Another fun fact, when it comes to incarceration rates women do tend to get more lenient sentences because they are women (and act pitiful on the trail) - however it is slowly changing as more and more judges slowly learn to ignore that bullcrap.

It is fun :)
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 1 week ago:
is this happening just because women are more worried about getting attacked.
Uh… It’s complicated, but
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_fear_of_crime
Long story short, the less likely the crime, the more women are afraid of it happening to them.
(And yes, this sentence is very slightly cherry picking data to provoke people to read the wikipedia page).

Can be caused my dude.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
People who have experienced more hardship
Doesn’t match the data. Study and raw data say nothing about the hardships.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Reading comprehension my dude. I wrote A or B, study says A or B.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
This is a metastudy not an original study though?
(And this is a shitpost community)
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
A sentence later it says
These authors posited that mental disorders may lead to the adoption of a meat-less diet. The authors stated that individuals with mental disorders may “choose a vegetarian diet as a form of safety or self-protective behavior”
And I wrote
or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
Not only that, but also vegan died is literally making people crazy (or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice).

The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors. There was mixed evidence for temporal relations, but study designs and a lack of rigor precluded inferences of causal relations. Our study does not support meat avoidance as a strategy to benefit psychological health.

It literally isn’t. Google shareholder primacy and you’ll notice its a norm, not a law (in the USA).
You can also Google that.
- Comment on Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert 2 weeks ago:
You do realise that prompts to and responses from the LLM are not as simple as what you wrote “1+1=?”. The context window is growing for a reason. And LLMs dont have two dimensional probability of the next token?
- Comment on Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert 2 weeks ago:
You can obtain token probabilities, so you can give some estimate out-of-band confidence in a response, down to the token level.
That means literally nothing. You can get wrong answer with 100% token confidence, and correct one with 0.000001% confidence.
- Comment on Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety" 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly they are not. Its commonly shilled by C-scum, but it’s a lie.
- Comment on Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety" 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly its not.

- Comment on My father the tween literary critic 2 weeks ago:
subseries wrote specifically for young adults
but that was pretty shocking and I’d be a bit wary letting my 12 year old read that.
While I do think that letting children read dark books (as long the “darkness” isn’t because the author’s edgy) is not only ok, but necessary for them to be able to handle darker emotions, I want to mention that 12 is teen, or pre-teen, but definitely not a young adult.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 2 weeks ago:
The “fault” means nothing to “deaths per miles” statistic though?
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 2 weeks ago:
Not just lower, a tiny fraction of the human rate of accidents:
www.iihs.org/research-areas/…/state-by-state
Well, no. Lets talk fatality rate. According to linked data, human drivers
1.26 deaths per 100 million miles traveled
Vs Waymo 2 deaths per 127 million miles :)
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Waymo rate better because they are very particular where they operate? When they are asked to operate in sligthly less than perfect conditions it immediately goes downhill researchgate.net/…/385936888_Identifying_Research… (page 7, Uncertainty)

Its a weird take. Appropriate books? Da fuck? That is already covered by the 18+ sticker on them?

spam musubi
That’s sushi with spam. I wouldn’t call that unique because how similar it is to any other sushi, its just an ingredient replacement. Now if the spam was specifically seasoned or prepared then yeah, it’d be a unique snack.
Frybread is basically hungarian lángos
And deep fried podpłomyk recipe is also very similar.
loco moco I can’t find anything similar, so I’d call it unique
cheese zombies, jojos, Seattle dog, huckleberry everything, etc.
Grilled cheese sandwich, potato wedges, hot dog with a different ingredient, huckleberry is an ingredient, not a dish.
Southwest USA and Mexican have a lot of overlap but are also just as distinct with “Tex-mex” being it’s own culinary thing. Puffy tacos, chili con queso, cornbread, cowboy caviar, nachos, etc.
Igredient replacement, literally not a dish but a dip, Native American, a bean salad, nachos are Mexican. Tex-mex I think is mostly one ingredient replacement. Literally you had a lot of beef and cheese and that’s how you made Mexican recipes.
Midwest, Alaskan, southern, east-coast, Puerto Rican
Midwest and Alaskan, as well as east-coast, those three sound most promising. Can you maybe tell a bit more about them,
Southern is likely to be European cuisine with one ingredient replacement, Puerto Rico is famously territory of the USA, but not a state :-)
pasta is any less “Italian” despite it just being Chinese noodles with a few changed ingredients.
Yeah, pasta is not an unique Italian dish. It was invented by so many cultures independently. Bolognese sauce on the other hand is, as I can’t find any other similar dish that was invented independently from it. Do you see the distinction I’m looking for?

Then make it also apply for LLC, or for everyone except (list). I mean every set can be quantified.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 2 weeks ago:
Out of all the dishes you mentioned, only Gumbo is a uniquely USA dish.
Jambalaya is an African recipe with an ingredient change to match what was available.
Mudbugs are eaten everywhere where they are present, and I personally think that Polis Zupa Rakowa is the best usage of that ingredient. If were talking about the mudbug boil, every cousine I know of that has access to them have similar recipe.
Blackened redfish is uhhh… Hot pan with spices to pretend its grilled (ingenious, but not a unique dish foodrepublic.com/…/origin-why-redfish-banned/)
Crawfish etouffee - huh, I think its also like a prooer unique dish. The cooking method and igredients seem to be unique enough that its visibly distinct from any other similar dish.
Courtbullion on the other hand is too similar to French one that I would call it a variation of it, instead of an unique invention
(Does that make sense? I’m not trying to diminish other foods but to showcase how unique Gumbo and etouffe are)
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been thinking of it, and I can only name 3 dishes that were uniquely created in the USA (so no General Tsao Chicken) that were not and old recipe with a changed ingredient because it’s hard to get the originsl (so no Jambalaya):
Gumbo.
Pumkin pie.
Buffalo wings (but I’m not sure if this can be called a dish, as its so simple its more like a snack, and its fast food).
If someone can think of more, please advise - I’m extremely curious.
