A six-figure vehicle, *any* six-figure vehicle is either two things: a utility business purchase for a fairly large firm that needs a specialized platform OR a consumption choice that is mostly about flaunting conspicuous wealth.

Let me suggest that if you are buying a $111,900 truck, the only conditions where that makes sense is if it is a business expense. As in, you run a business that requires a large truck.

And even then, you can get a decent used truck for sub-$40k.
one of the least sympathetic microgenres of post is, "I financed an extremely expensive truck at fairly normal APRs and am paying HOW MUCH in interest?!"

a significant portion of the left really does want our society to collapse and until we collectively realize this is a serious problem and exile those people the right is going to keep easily convincing normies that we’re all like this

This is Bear. He is in charge of supervising Thanksgiving dinner preparation. Appointed himself to the role, but takes it very seriously. 14/10 (TT: emileebellant)

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying.

Why does it feel like Katsas and Rao get every single important case?
UPDATE: In DOJ's request to block Judge Cobb's order that would end troop deployment in DC as of Dec. 11, the DC Circuit has ordered a response by Dec. 2, with any reply by Dec. 3.

The panel includes Katsas and Rao — the two Trump appointees who had the contempt appeal — and Millett (Obama).

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.
A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

so you only have to pay a tiny KL penalty for every individual word, and you can ramp into it from the end of any sentence without any problem. the cumulative conditional probability of every token is very close to natural language whereas the whole construction is relatively far away from it.

i think that it occurs because it's a multitoken attn state change operator which minimizes KL penalties. the penalty is evaluated at logits for every individual token and every word in it is in the 95% nucleus for almost any given token sequence (X and Y being prior state and new state).

one thing that's interesting is that "it's not X--it's Y" construction does not occur with high probability in any corpus LLMs are trained on, and yet every LLM produces it with high probability
