  • Another huge, important, but subtle distinction to make here is that the trial is not to decide whether you did the thing. It’s not always a mystery who perpetrated an alleged crime. Even if you pull out a gun and shoot somebody on the 50-yard-line at the Super Bowl, and 300 million people see it, they can’t just take you off to prison for murder. They have to give you a trial to determine whether you violated the law.

    There’s a thing called an affirmative defense, as in, “yes, I did the thing, but it wasn’t a crime, because…” If you can, say, convince a jury that you’re a time traveler, the ref was going to make a bad call in the 4th quarter that cost your team the Super Bowl win, and that justified shooting him, well, then it wasn’t a crime. That’s what a jury is ultimately charged with deciding.

    This is not to say that Magione’s attorney plans to present an affirmative defense, just that there are a number of good reasons to plead not guilty, even if it’s 100% certain you did the thing.

  • Somebody did an analysis of his speech, and found that his vocabulary has markedly decreased in recent years. That’s one of the signal early indicators of dementia. Even back in 2016, he was noticeably more articulate. Since then, several other symptoms of dementia have shown up: Memory issues, doctors concerned enough to do cognitive assessments, losing the ability to process metaphors, impulsivity, uncharacteristic swearing, and losing track of the passage of time.



  • I feel like there’s a lot of information missing here. VLANs operate at OSI layer 2, and Immich connects to its ML server via IP in layer 3. It could talk to a remote server in Ecuador over the Internet, so the layer 2 configuration is irrelevant.

    What you have is an issue of routing IP packets between subnets. You just need to set up a rule on your router to allow the Immich server on the Internet-facing IP subnet to connect to the correct port(s) for the ML server on the private subnet. Or maybe use the router’s port-forwarding feature. Lacking further information about the setup, I have to be vague here. In any case, it’s conceptually the same as punching a hole in the firewall to let IP packets from an Immich server in Ecuador get to the ML server on your private subnet, except that the server is not in Ecuador.


  • I had this discussion with people IRL recently, wondering who the real power behind the throne was, because when they let him do interviews on his own, it’s clear the orange figurehead is too far gone with dementia to be this organized and focused on the transition. I hope that the real power behind the throne is Leon, because he’s so stupid. Dangerous, yes, but not as insidiously dangerous as somebody smart.

    In any case, I want this to be true. It’s exactly what I would’ve predicted, so I’ll keep calling him President Musk.
