Grammar is not really the issue. It’s just people are bad at succinctly, clearly making the point they are trying to make

Make it more clear to a reader what you are trying to say and what the reader needs to hear to understand it

You basically write whatever you would normally write (badly) and copy/paste it to ChatGPT and it will greatly improve it, instantly

I would just say, there is “writing” and “im a professional writer,” where you a creating ideas and content. Then there is the vast majority of writing tasks where it is simply “I need someone to understand what I did and I’m writing it down”.

In my professional life (as an engineer), most people struggle to write clearly and poorly emphasize the points they intend to emphasize, and also do not seem to be getting better over time. So you are absolutely correct, but also the vast majority of people will benefit from LLM writing assistance

In a professional setting, why not speak in a style closer to how you write? Why is it superficial to expect that? Would it be “superficial” to lower standards for writing based on superfluous additional words?

I mean, in many ways you’re right, it’s effectively separate—demographically for example

Is that true about Kensington? I’m in that district and I’ve always known Kensington Hilltop Elementary as part of WCCUSD: www.wccusd.net/kensington

Just reinforcing Cuban’s point: for Trump, the tariffs are a cudgel to use against our trading partners. The revenue benefit is not the point (even if he says that)

“With a favorable congress, can be appropriated for tax cuts, favorable contracts etc.”
He can do all this and more without ever adopting new tariffs

Park far away and walk, put in a pull-up bar in your home office, do pushups/burpees after every time you take a break, jump rope, etc. something I’m thinking about doing in the new year…

Another way to think of it is that 100 hours is about 16 minutes per day. Adding in another 100x 1-hour sessions would indeed be hard, but can you add in a few 5 to 10-minute “exercise snacks” per day?

The federal government does not need tariff revenue in order to “use” money. The money brought in by tariffs does not go into some “trump war chest”

I loved the Tripods series. Something I just found at the library and loved.

When do we hear about the next budget year’s revenue?

What I found interesting is I recently saw that job growth in CA in general and SF Bay Area in particular has lagged the rest of the country. I wonder if that was a temporary “tech recession” thing

apparently Hunter Biden's laptop, woke AI, and illegals being brought into the country to vote for Dems are just more deeply personal issues for him than access to a technology that has allowed him to create eight blonde babies with his employees and/or girlfriends and/or their surrogates

Yeah, I’ve been disappointed since the day the Afghanistan pull out happened by how little full-throated support Biden’s decision got
