Yeah, my comments are for the MAGA crowd. You know the ones doing the gymnastics to make this fit the Trump is different narrative. You know, no foreign wars, cut annual spending, lower deficit, etc...
Things change. New information comes to light.
Perhaps Trump straight up lied to everyone about no new wars. Or, perhaps something bad was going to happen if he didn't act against Iran. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
I remember in 2008, Obama made an issue about the prison at Gitmo and how he was going to close it. He was a senator at the time and probably didn't have all the information necessary for his bold plans.
He is elected and serves 8 years - Gitmo never closed.
Did he lie to everyone or was there a more compelling reason to keep it open?
Neither you nor I know all the information that went into the decision to bomb Iran.
My opinion is that it must have been something compelling to pull Trump into it.

I think it will take off. I also believe it will have bad effects on those that use them. I make it a point not to use it. One of the reasons I come on here is to keep up cognitive skills. Message Boards are unpredictable and it makes you respond, sometime critically, sometimes witty, and sometimes question your believes. AI takes all that out of the equation.ATL Bear said:It will be interesting to see the impact of AGI on future versions of self driving.FLBear5630 said:They still having problems with left turns? joke was how does a Tesla make a left, 3 rights...ATL Bear said:We wouldn't have Tesla's (and others) self driving cars without advanced AI predictive analytics.nein51 said:FLBear5630 said:Don't laugh, Predictive Analytics is a thing.

Yes. It turns out that chapter in the book is about how the modeling didn't work on horse racing.
Ironically, it does give us plenty of other models in sports that are correct that still often get ignored.
1) when to bunt (essentially never)
2) when to take a 3 point shot
3) best predictor of W/L is turnover margin but that's near impossible to predict.

There are a million uses for predictive analytics. The problem is that people expect 100% accuracy without realizing that even 51% is a step the right direction.
So every time the model is wrong they leap on the "analytics doesn't work" train. The reality is that the data fed into the system is often the problem and not the model. We see that with climate data regularly.

If the choice is between war with Iran and a nuclear empowered Iran, you take war.
Did you say the same about North Korea?
Ultimately we didnt go to war with North Korea. They've had nuclear weapons capable of hitting the US for about a decade now and the world keeps on spinning.
Iran is less of a threat to the US homeland than North Korea is/was.
How would war with Iran improve our national debt crisis? Or lower the price of energy which is keeping inflation in check?
Everytime the US has attempted regime change in the Middle East it has been catastrophically costly and resulted in abject failure even against adversaries much weaker than Iran.
Forget weapons. Iran has already agreed to not developing nuclear weapons.
Israel wants America to go to war with Iran over Iran keeping its nuclear energy program.
Man are you stupid if you believe that.

We will wait until tomorrow for them to tell us what to think. Whatever it is, it will be pro-Donald.
The propaganda and attacks against those that disagree with this Administration is unreal.
Massey is now out of MAGA.
Have you not followed politics very long?
Yeah, my comments are for the MAGA crowd. You know the ones doing the gymnastics to make this fit the Trump is different narrative. You know, no foreign wars, cut annual spending, lower deficit, etc...
Things change. New information comes to light.
Perhaps Trump straight up lied to everyone about no new wars. Or, perhaps something bad was going to happen if he didn't act against Iran. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
I remember in 2008, Obama made an issue about the prison at Gitmo and how he was going to close it. He was a senator at the time and probably didn't have all the information necessary for his bold plans.
He is elected and serves 8 years - Gitmo never closed.
Did he lie to everyone or was there a more compelling reason to keep it open?
Neither you nor I know all the information that went into the decision to bomb Iran.
My opinion is that it must have been something compelling to pull Trump into it.
Time will tell one way or the other. No need for pearl clutching at this point.
Estimates were that they could rush forward to a nuclear weapon in 3 weeks, from where they were. In the future that timeframe could be a problem, even if 3 days ago, they were not trying to build a nuclear weapon. We decided to take the opportunity Israel gave us, rather than potentially let it come back to bite us.
Predictive analytics has been a thing for a decent amount of time now and it's incredibly good at what it does. The best predictive analytics in the world resides in your credit card company of choice.
I worked on some modeling back in like 08-09 for our CC division that was amazing and brought HUGE profits and it was really just the tip of the iceberg.
Target was accurately predicting pregnancy BEFORE people
knew they were pregnant by item purchases, MC was able to predict divorce to a high degree of accuracy, the fraud department at ALL of them can predict fraud almost instantly.
Read SuperCrunchers by Ian Ayers from 2007 which talks about using predictive models to help stem the tide of poor hygiene at a hospital network that saved lives or trying to predict horse races, etc. Excellent read.
Yes. It turns out that chapter in the book is about how the modeling didn't work on horse racing.
Ironically, it does give us plenty of other models in sports that are correct that still often get ignored.
1) when to bunt (essentially never)
2) when to take a 3 point shot
3) best predictor of W/L is turnover margin but that's near impossible to predict.
Very scary. She's a moron.

Wait a second - are you telling me that we aren't actually at war and the sky isn't actually falling???!!! Incredible. The Anti-Semites were so sure that they almost had me convinced.boognish_bear said:ATL Bear said:
I'd say the missile strikes were Iranians saving face. It gives Trump an opening to be magnanimous and say the U.S. isn't going to retaliate in order to give a chance for deescalation/peace. He can put a deadline on it. Carefully orchestrated gunboat diplomacy.If true, complete and total capitulation and vindication for President Trump’s strategy here. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/JroBKkPTjg

Almost.
It will be interesting to watch the mental contortions of the MTGs and Tucker Carlson's of the world. Wonder how these Chicken Little's will find a way to spin their dire (and once again, incorrect) predictions?
With Trump, they are never disappointed for long! Actually I bet they're happy and relieved. Nobody wants any President creating or prolonging war. I mean, almost nobody.historian said:
Looks like there won't be any long drawn out war. Instead there is a ceasefire. The Leftists with TDS must be very disappointed!
He pulls it off he deserves credit. No doubt. If this follows through, he spun the wheel and won. Tip of the cap, he read it right and had the balls to take action.Mothra said:Wait a second - are you telling me that we aren't actually at war and the sky isn't actually falling???!!! Incredible.
