Hell yes!
Neil Ferguson didn’t resign because he broke lockdown with his left-wing activist, open marriage side deal. He was fired because his code got analyzed. The remaining Imperial team is defending it with ridiculous BS.
The original 15,000 lines of C code, constructed in one single file (“this is considered very poor practice”) was requested over a week ago for this review but hasn’t been handed over. However, Imperial allowed a team from Microsoft to code a derivative in C++, an object oriented version of C, which was released on GitHub. What’s a derivative? Well, you know how a lot of state gov’ts are begging for COBOL programmers to come out of retirement to help them rewrite the COBOL into more ‘modern’ languages? That new code would be ‘derivative’. Does the same thing in a different language or with a different method.
The review is damning
– Non-deterministic outputs. Due to bugs the code can produce very different results given identical inputs. They routinely act as if it’s unimportant.
The Imperial team’s response is that it doesn’t matter: that they are “aware of some small non-determinisms” but “this has historically been considered acceptable because of the general stochastic nature of the model“. Note the phrasing here – Imperial know their code has such bugs but act as if it’s some inherent randomness of the universe, rather than a result of amateur coding. Apparently in epidemiology a difference of 80,000 deaths is “a small non-determinism”.
– It’s clear from reading the code that in 2014 Imperial tried to make the code use multiple CPUs to speed it up but never made it work reliably. This sort of programming is known to be difficult and usually requires senior, experienced engineers to get good results. Results that randomly change from run to run is a common consequence of thread safety bugs or more colloquially, Heisenbugs.
But Edinburgh come back and report that even in single threaded mode they still see the problem, so Imperial’s understanding of the issue is wrong. Finally Imperial admit there’s a bug by referencing a code change they’ve made that fixes it. The explanation given is “It looks like historically the second pair of seeds had been used at this point, to make the runs identical regardless of how the network was made, but that this had been changed when seed-resetting was implemented“. In other words in the process of changing the model they made it non-replicable and never noticed.
Why didn’t they notice? Because their code is so deeply riddled with similar bugs and they struggled so much to fix them, that they got into the habit of simply averaging the results of multiple runs to cover it up … and eventually this behaviour became normalised within the team.
I don’t want to make this post any longer, you can read the rest, it gets worse, much worse, e.g., failed regression testing (they NEVER got this to work and they knew it), undocumented equations that look like they were auto-translated from Fortran years ago, etc. Every last one of these fuckers should be begging for coffee change on street corners.

– Toy guns
– Toy ‘masks’ offering no ballistic protection
– ammo drums used for AR-15, not military assault weapons
– the ‘commandos’ took their passports with them (WHAT??!!)
– there is some signed contract to pay them for the coup – yep, so it’s legal.

Texas AG Paxton statement on Shelley Luther
“I find it outrageous and out of touch that during this national pandemic, a judge, in a county that actually released hardened criminals for fear of contracting COVID-19, would jail a mother for operating her hair salon in an attempt to put food on her family’s table,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The trial judge did not need to lock up Shelley Luther. His order is a shameful abuse of judicial discretion, which seems like another political stunt in Dallas. He should release Ms. Luther immediately.”
Keep in mind, the judge didn’t jail Shelley for opening her salon. He jailed her for refusing to apologize for being selfish by opening her salon.

A writ of habeas corpus has been filed to the Texas Supreme Court on behalf of Shelley Luther. That is basically asking the court to determine if her detention is valid

Well, that’s disappointing. It would have been helpful if the Supreme Court had stepped in. Now it’s up to the citizens of PA to take this into their own hands. People without jobs and losing everything they have tend to get desperate. When their government doesn’t have their back, they become pissed off. I seem to recall something happening in 1776 when those kinds of circumstances arose.
Because I really don’t think the people going to the Supreme Court were politely asking for help, they were demanding it. This really has the flavor of, “… or else …”

The legality of the state just stepping in and telling people they cannot go to their work to earn a livelihood is really questionable. OK, given how far statist we’ve gone, maybe it is now legal, but it’s not right. Unfortunately, we now live in a society were “legal” and “right” can be mutually exclusive. But I digress. The idea that the state can just determine some businesses “essential” and others “non-essential” is just plain wrong on so many levels. Yes, things get shut down in natural disasters, but that is usually very short term, very local, and everyone in the area is directly affected. This is just wrong on so many levels. You’d almost think that those in charge want to see famine and destitution as a result of this.

See my previous comment. The Supreme Court thinks they have kicked the can down the road. What they have told the citizens of PA is that the citizens are on their own. Desperate people do desperate things. The Supreme Court just opened the gate to vigilantism and revolt. They had the opportunity to apply the rule of law and chose not to do so. Those citizens in PA are still without jobs, without hope, and on the verge of losing what they worked for. The Governor best pray that all they bring is pitchforks, torches, tar, and feathers.

Millions of protective masks that were to arrive in California this week as part of the state’s nearly $1 billion deal with a Chinese company have been delayed, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.
The governor said the N95 masks made by BYD, an electric vehicle manufacturer with a California manufacturing plant, were stalled in the federal certification process. He did not explain further, and his office did not respond to a request for more information.

I’m diggin it
In it’s motion to dismiss, DOJ admits it was entrapment
…the Government cannot explain, much less prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, how false statements are “material” to an investigation that – as explained above – seems to have been undertaken only to elicit those very false statements and thereby criminalize Mr. Flynn”

There had better be POUNDS of flesh for the crap they did th the good general
my my my, it’s a busy day.
The HOUSE investigation and transcripts docs just dropped. By Schiff, because Grenell threatened to do it himself
https://intelligence.house.gov/russiainvestigation/
Schiff statement: “The transcripts that we are releasing today show … That the Trump campaign, and Donald Trump himself, invited illicit Russian help, made full use of that help, and then lied and obstructed the investigations in order to cover up this misconduct.”

Grenell is the real deal.

They didn’t because that wasn’t the purpose. They re-wrote it to be true to the original as written because the original, coded as one file of 15k lines, is humanly indecipherable.
@ eaglesoars:
Schiff released a selected portion of them, not all of them. Grenell is going to release them all
@ lobo91:
over 60k pages isn’t all of them??? yowser
People are pointing out what McCain did in all of this now. Maybe it will shut up that whiny “MY dad was a hero” daughter of his

Oops, my bad. I thought you wrote that LGF went belly-up

Dude of the Dudeness…
I don’t know how to renew Diary of Daedalus’ domain registration, but apparently there’s a grace period.

@ rain of lead:
Just saw that. I think I have a spare key to the cellar door.
@ Bunk X:
No dice.
So, Clapper and quite a few others testified under oath that they saw no evidence of collusion. Yet they went on TV and said very different things.
I don’t think they’re immune from defamation lawsuits if they say one thing under oath and then defame the POTUS in public. They can’t say they didn’t know, they have no defense against malice, etc. Trump could do it, he has the money. They don’t.
And what have I said from the beginning. Crowdstrike testified that they found no evidence Russia stole/exfiltrated from the DNC computers. Or by anybody else, either

Okay, y’all can go to sleep. I’ll be back tomorrow after my PET scan.

Well, a small miracle today. I was hanging out at a Brit blog to wish them a happy VE day and whatnot, one thing leads to another – and someone there found the airbase my dad was stationed at. He could never remember the name, they just called it Never Boring, only that the train to London ran from Chelmsford.
She found it. Boreham Airfield.

I’ve seen claims that Flynn supposedly admitted to doing something illegal, that basically came down to treason. What are they talking about?
