Or it (and other things) did, but what trump released was a lie.

A really obvious lie, no less. The vitals attested to were obviously bogus if one bothered to look at a recent picture of him.

The media, of course, shrugged and reported the lie as fact since skepticism is only for democrats.

Well, we have to support the “tech innovator” middlemen who deserve their 20% cut of everything. Think of those poor souls. How else are they supposed to get rich?

Fair point since rhe overrule would now be precedent. So, a republican objects since this is inappropriate, the parliamentarian deems that the precedent allows the Democratic motion, republicans overrule the parliamentarian, and the strategy is quashed.

Extra steps, sure, but since republicans don’t care about norms or hypocrisy, they wouldn’t even blink at such a move.

The only way that it works is if enough republicans don’t really want to pass the bill. Then, this might give them an out. It wouldn’t work otherwise.

That said, no reason not to make them do the extra work.

Sure, they should try, but it’s silly to think that this would actually work. The Senate parliamentarian will rule that it doesn’t meet the requirements (and would be correct) and the republican majority won’t vote to override. Attempt quashed and it wouldn’t even be a news story just being a procedural thing.

I know, it’s unfair and that “they set a precedent” and all of that, but if your strategy requires that republicans not be abject opportunistic hypocrites, then it’s almost certain to fail.

Wow, coming up with dumb solutions to self-inflicted problems. Woo.

Maybe just impeach and remove the problem instead?

There wasn’t the public interest or unlimited cash that the Apollo program had to work with, so this was never going to realistically happen in the 80s or 90s, shuttle or not.

Given the technology, there’s no way that we’d have gotten the relatively quick sugar rush like we did for the Moon landings; it’d have been a long, very hard, and very, very expensive slog to get people there.

There’s approximately a zero percent chance that the level of public enthusiasm for such an endeavor would have supported the amount of money and effort needed to make it happen.

Heck, we even cut the Apollo program short because the public quickly got bored with it once we had the big shiny.

Large Language Models are Unreliable for Cyber Threat Intelligence

There, fixed it.

“overhauling” Um, yeah.

I don’t think that it’s like a patent where the holder has to defend it; Oracle can decide to go after a license violation if they want to.

I’d imagine that if a real competitor or someone with deeper pockets shipped it, they’d be hearing from the throngs of lawyers that oracle keeps on staff in short order.
