Hard to say, because the notable people can't generally back down. They were called out as idiots and invested their whole public image around rejecting that. To backtrack is to admit they were idiots.

For those that more casually voted for him, well, they could be shifting. Maybe that MAGA tradwife silently changes their vote, but doesn't want her family to know.

a rapist

Yeah, but he's just getting what men should be getting, the concept of 'rape' doesn't make sense since women shouldn't have a say in it

convicted felon

That's just those libs falsely persecuting him you see.

let Musk destroy the government?

The biggest thing was this super liberal sounding US AID where we help people who should be lifting themselves up by their bootstraps

kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities

You mean those spanish speaking people who don't speak American good enough? Or the libs that deserve what they got for being libs?

sunk foreign boats in international waters

Yeah, those were some of them non-Muricans again, good riddance

undermine the constitution

Yeah, but imagine how much that'll own the libs!

pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?

Covid wasn't real, and if it was, it wasn't his fault and I'm sure Fauci is somehow to blame...

he raised the cost of living

Well, that's where we are now, my 10 mile to the gallon vehicle now costs hundreds of dollars to fill up, and that is what matters. All to help out some jews that MAGA largely otherwise looks down upon.

Well strictly speaking the full name field is always there, but a lot of people have the full name "".

But less pedantic, perhaps require was the writing word, but same principle, put whatever you want in dob field, default to 1970 or something.

Yes, the key thing is it might have extracted useful info from otherwise confusing data, it might have mixed up info from the data incorrectly or it might have just made it up.

So it can be useful, if you can then validate the info provided in more traditional means, but it's dubious as a first pass, and sometimes surprisingly bad when it's a scenario you thought it would work well at.

For solutions that back on actually "verifying" the age by requiring credit card or government ID, those suck.

As described, this is an administrator self describing the age, which doesn't mean much to anyone except kids of people who apply parental controls to systems their kids have access to.

Accounts already require your "full name" but we don't consider that "full name verification".

This proposal seems to be in the spirit of least intrusive means to let parents opt into this stuff if they want, with no ties to identity compromising third party/state "verification".

Question is whether this sort of solution that at least gives parents some chance will satisfy the lawmakers long term. For the wave of laws now, it seems to suffice to self attest age.

Offtopic, but I just think the Dow is just the dumbest thing.

We judge the entire economy based on 30 hand picked companies. And that membership evolves basically to fit a positive narrative if possible. One of the companies does poorly and drags the index? Just swap in a better performing company!

Even as everyone has learned by now his words don't mean anything "real", there's still something to be gleaned.

The fact that he's even looking for an exit speaks to how far he is "committed" to this path. So sure, the "peace talks" don't really exist, but the fact he says they do exist and keeps claiming they are going well means he wants to reverse course on the flimsiest excuse. So if the circumstances might give him an excuse, it might go away. Iran's reactions seems they are disinclined to give him that excuse easily, so the chance isn't huge, but his deadline extension based on nothing suggests he is open to other opportunities to let him back out while somehow saving face. He still cares about saving face enough to make the chances problematic, but at least he's looking for an exit.

Conversely if he said that there's no need to let up until the job is done, and his forces are going to imminently secure the strait, then that's a lie that suggests to not expect relief anytime soon.

It's about the direction the lie indicates he wants things to go and how that may play into outcomes.

nVidia had announced that instead of 100 billion for nothing to OpenAI that they were doing 30 billion for stake, and said they were probably not going to keep giving these 'halo' AI companies money after this.

I also saw a report that banks were starting to get a bit more stingy with money to the same companies.

I think that while there's still plenty of money coming in still, it does seem like the 'take our unlimited cash just because you have AI in your name' phase is wearing out and they actually have to try to convince people now.

Which is a pretty big problem for them, as despite their brand recognition they aren't really seen as the 'leader' in the AI space on any particular front.

Well not really, they added a field so that they could store date of birth in the way they have a field to store "real name".

So you can be sure my birthday is 4/20/1969 as sure as you can be that my name is Bimbo Baggins.

Note that for the California law at least, this is "good enough" and the OS never actually has to validate anything. In practice a person without admin access could have their birthdate out of control, well, until they run a patched browser that skips asking systemd and just always sends a desired bracket...

It kind of works to keep kids under 13 sending the signal with parental administration, but doesn't do anything for more resourceful people you tend to find over 13.

I'm not saying whether or not an attack is justified or effective. Just saying that of the outcomes to expect, you can't expect that popular opinion would turn as a result, except maybe to make any critics that may have had a voice suddenly not even be acceptable to speak.

Like whatever understanding one could have possibly have imagined from Iranians against the regime was pretty much gone when the US killed the kids in school.

How often is it that people demand reforms versus become galvanized in support of 'their team'?

'Rally behind the flag' is the usual popular reaction, where any calls for reform that might have happened become completely unacceptable in popular culture.

Oh that was never in the cards.

They may not have wanted Iran attacked, but they didn't like Iran either so they aren't exactly wanting to defend them either.
