  • When President Donald Trump was reminded in an interview with Time magazine this week that he had said he would end the Russian war on Ukraine on “day one,” he claimed he hadn’t been speaking literally or seriously.

    “Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended,” Trump said, according to Time’s transcript.

    This “in jest” claim is a lie.

    On the campaign trail in 2023 and 2024, Trump said on dozens of occasions, in an entirely serious tone, manner and context, that he would end the war in Ukraine either within 24 hours of his return to the White House or even sooner than that. He said over and over again, including at both presidential debates of 2024, that he would have the war “settled” when he was president-elect, before his inauguration.

    A Friday search of the Roll Call Factba.se database that catalogues Trump’s public remarks turned up at least 53 examples of Trump making such comments.

    I created git repos on my main workstation for each homelab server/service I maintain that keeps:

    • documentation
    • notes
    • lessons learned
    • scripts, configs
    • runbooks
    • backup details
    • security audit details
    • log items that need attention
    • infrastructure

    I just point a local LLM (offline model that runs on my workststion) into those repos and ask it to perform certain things on those servers. It can do things like update packages, install packages, make config changes, set/check permissions, read logs (and fix errors in real time), and check the health of the overall system.

    I have it run pre backups before making changes, then post backups once its done.

    Once changes are in place and everything is running okay, I ask it to update documentation in the repo and tag the release.

    I use opencode that connects to a llama.cpp service. opencode lets me gate the AI so that any elevated commands that it needs to run (e.g. sudo or ssh), I have to approve it. It cant just go around making changes without permission.

    Orson Scott Card wrote a trilogy series that had a similar concept back in the 80s and 90s. Its the trilogy that immediately follows after Ender’s Game.

    • Speaker For the Dead
    • Xenocide
    • Children of the Mind

    I know Orson Scott Card is a bigot, so please don’t give him anymore money, but I always think of this series when it comes to personalized AI in earings.

    Those are good things to ask prior to using it, but thats just the beginning.

    • If the training data matches what you would look up on the internet anyway, is it a deal breaker?
    • If it cannt be used for production, what about for organizational purposes? Documentation? Resource tracking? Upstream changes? Merging considerations? Security auditing?
    • It sounds like you would rather do the coding part, correct me if I’m wrong. This way you have full control of the license. For someone who isn’t a coder, they would probably have to consider that the code it generates could closely resemble an existing licensed work since the models are trained on open-source data.
    • I think the getting dumber argument is going to depend on the user, and its not an LLM issue specifically. You could definitely bypass the thinking process, but you could also make it explain things step by step, which could also accelerate learning stuff.

    But you’re right, to each their own.




  • Aloha, and thank you for sharing your perspective as someone who lives here in Honolulu County. I appreciate your concern about ensuring people can vote without barriers. Let me address your points directly and clarify how the voting system actually works here.

    Your Concerns

    You’ve raised valid points about Honolulu County’s infrastructure and the fact that Hawaii uses mail-in voting. You’re correct that:

    • Hawaii transitioned to vote-by-mail starting in 2019
    • Traditional Election Day polling places are no longer established
    • Mail-in voting is indeed the primary method here

    Clarifying the Actual Process

    However, I need to correct some misinformation that could actually suppress turnout:

    1. Voter Service Centers ARE Available Early Voter Service Centers are open for 10 business days prior to Election Day, giving voters plenty of time to cast ballots in person without the Election Day rush. The centers at Honolulu Hale and Kapolei Hale are staffed to handle these volumes.

    2. Drop Boxes Are Designed for High Volume Honolulu County has 16 ballot drop boxes strategically placed throughout the County. These are specifically designed to handle the volume of mail ballots efficiently. They’re secure, monitored, and checked regularly.

    3. Mail Remains the Easiest Option You’re absolutely right that mail-in voting is the easiest method. All active registered voters automatically receive a ballot by mail. Simply fill it out and return it. No stamp needed.

    The Bottom Line

    Your core concern that voters shouldn’t face barriers to casting their ballot is absolutely valid and shared by the Elections Division. But the current system is designed to accommodate multiple voting methods precisely to prevent the infrastructure issues you’re concerned about. The easiest way to vote remains: receive your mail ballot, fill it out, and return it via mail or drop box. The Voter Service Centers and drop boxes are backup options that exist to ensure no one is left behind. If you have specific concerns about drop box locations or voter service center hours, please call our Elections Division at (808) 768-3800 so we can address them directly.

    Mahalo for caring about voter participation.



  • Per your article:

    State Rep. Darius Kila, a Democrat who represents a district on Oahu’s Westside, said many of his constituents were unaware of the voting service centers that provided early voting.

    So like I said…

    GO.
    VOTE.
    EARLY.

    How is that misinformation?
    I never said dont go vote.
    There is no main way you HAVE to vote.
    You have options.
    Ive laid out the other avenues.

    BALLOT DROP BOXES.
    VOTER SERVICE CENTERS.
    USPS. (This is where Trump is trying to make sure your ballot doesnt count)

    If you dont utilize those options, and wait until the last day to vote, you have chosen to wait in line to vote. You are misinformed. You are hurting yourself and your community if you are the one causing lines to stay long and disencouraging others to vote because they dont want to wait in a line with you.

    Do your part. Vote early so you dont make the line longer on Election Day. Dont wait until Nov 3rd to cast your ballot.
