Going to Vegas tomorrow, hope to mix in some live pokerz but we'll have to see about that. Live PLO players are 76% pure trash. Those white rail tables at Wynn are calling my name.
played some pokers in kc and ohio
it's embarassing how bad my countrymen are at poker, massachusetts was no outlier, everyone sucks
not once in the us have i not felt at least a full standard deviation better than anyone else at the table and i'm retired from that game and just playing off my 2012 meta with a little bit of updates and hotfixes
oh no doubt, one day i'll likely get in trouble, but none of these places spread anything higher than 1/2 & 1/3 so the real threats migrate elsewhere
i'd say about 45% are pure trash, 30% bad, 20% solid but predictable, 5% good but with enough leaks to be exploited & rare enough to be easily ignored/avoided
It's like discovering LOLive poker in the USA for the very first time.
It's nice that I'm getting enough of a rep in the history business that people keep asking me to write stuff, but god I'm getting buried.
I'm trying to get my book revisions done, and in the last two months I've been asked for a quick-turn conference paper (British-US naval cooperation and tension, 1798-1807), two book chapters (one on airpower theory and another early navy one, which at least is based on an old conference paper, so I just need to expand it a bit), and a journal article comparing the Houthis attacks on shipping to the Barbary Pirates (so kinda needs to be done while still relevant). Oh, and do your normal job and help us re-write this course for next year.
I'm getting crispy. Got the conference paper finished at 9:45 last night, the day it was due. I thought that would reduce the stress level, but one of the book chapter requests came in yesterday afternoon to replace it.

I was under the impression that the relationship between the US and British navies in this period was rather one sided:
British sailors just raiding and sinking fledgling US shipping and impressing all their sailors, leading up to the War of 1812.
What did they cooperate on? I thought they were relatively hostile to each other in this period.

When I'm writing documentation, it's a great tool. With the exception of tests and trivial things(I don't need to write my own graph traversal), I'm not using what it spits out for actual software. The only thing more difficult than finding bugs in my own code is finding them in someone else's.
It's also not very good at configuration files. You can find yourself locked out of your own resources pretty easily if you're not double-checking everything.
Language prediction is only as good as its training model.

Well, they weren't sinking fledgling US shipping, they were capturing it. At least, if it was supplying France. France was capturing US shipping even if it wasn't supplying England, so we were more mad at them than we were at the British. That led to the Quasi-War with France, where we fought an undeclared naval conflict, mostly in the Caribbean, and mostly against privateers. England cooperated with us since we were fighting against their enemy, but they kept impressing lots of our sailors (including a few directly off US Navy ships) and capturing lots of our shipping.
Once we made peace with France, the situation got worse, though it took a long time to devolve completely, and they helped us a lot, mostly with basing, during the First Barbary War. In 1807, two of our ships got in a shooting match over some British deserters that we had enlisted. This was known as the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair, after the two ships involved. Naval cooperation ended after that, and relations slid towards the War of 1812.
This. Most ChatGPT attempts to write academic Humanities papers read like a Sophomore essay. Plus they never, ever, cite primary sources. Maybe someday, but not now.
I haven't tried to use GPT to write contracts yet, but some of my more idiotic/cheap clients have used them to send me things to review and revise. The software does a good-ish job with simple things but the product I've seen contains fundamental legal flaws.

Are there specific legal templates that people use on there or do they just give the command/request in the chat box in the same way that I might for a 500 word trade press article or whatever?
Like, could it type out an NDA or even a top line terms and conditions for a business if you gave it the outlined terms?

ChatGPT is bad at the one thing I need it for, citations. It cites non-existant laws and invents parties to cases. And then it takes about 10 seconds to right-click-learn when the pro se self-represented party used ChatGPT.

Wow, a celebrated academic, for hire. Congratulations and can I use you for some citations?
A friend of mine has tried some kind of AI is his software work. Like Donat3llo's experience, he reports it's not worth doing at this point. Takes as much time to rework the generated code to be useful for him as it does just to write it himself.

Sure, if you have any Admiralty Law cases, I'm your man. Representing a ship unfairly brought in because an inspection party argued that oznaburgh linen is adjacent to sailcloth, which is adjacent to sails and therefore contraband of war? I can destroy that argument and get the ship and cargo released, if the court has any respect for Vattel and Groetius at all.
how are you with bird law?
one thing interesting about maritime law is that in maine the locals all claim that technically speaking, if someone is dead at sea and needs assistance being brought in, if they voluntarily toss a rope over to get towed in then the rescuer has a legal claim to the boat he rescued if he chooses to pursue it
Technically, he has a legal claim to a salvage share, which is usually 1/8th the value of the vessel and cargo.
As for bird law, not my specialty, but I know a guy in Philadelphia who could help you out.
When I read about taytay's psyop mission to rig the superbowl, I didn't realize it was to subvert Kelce.
Garick - WTF werent you spoda scold the 9ers at some point!?!
My bad. They weren't sucking, so I forgot to scold them.

It was on NPR last week. It was an oil tanker that rescued a tugboat.

I wonder how the 5 million got broken down if the Capt gets $300k.

Yes, but the document will be ****ed up and needs to be fixed before it's ready for prime time
