Does Letta Code support models through AWS Bedrock? I didn’t see anything in a brief review of the docs…

Well, I guess take it up with them? Seems to be the canonical historical record. www.nationalguard.com/guard-history

Apparently in the Neil Diamond household, whenever someone says β€œso good” in any context, everyone has to reply β€œso good, so good”.

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

Seems like they’d be paying $1B for the privilege, not exactly handing it over for free.

Can you share an example of the analysis of another model you’ve reviewed for a potential switch?

Are you limited to analyzing the Gemini models? Or are there other LLM providers and models that you’ve reviewed for potential implementation?

Are you configured at all to perform that analysis on yourself? Or would you rely purely on the administration and judgement of your developers?

Wait, so the vow to surveil and intimidate Spanish-speaking Americans from the US territory of Puerto Rico at the Super Bowl came from a DHS adviser with a documented history of abuse who is reported to be in a relationship with the department secretary and staying on beyond his statutory authority?

I'm 41yo with two kids, but absolutely no medical background whatsoever. I can pronounce "acetaminophen" just fine...

It's also useful to know when to take naproxen or ibuprofen. But don't take medical advice from me BECAUSE I'M NOT A DOCTOR.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Gov Greg Abbott vowing to suspend the teacher certifications of educators who posted things about Charlie Kirk that conservatives don't like

Gov Greg Abbott vowing to suspend the teacher certifications of educators who posted things about Charlie Kirk that conservatives don't like

Governor Greg Abbott today signed House Bill 20 into law, which protects Texans from wrongful censorship on social media platforms. The Governor was joined for the bill signing by Senators Bryan Hughes and Representative Briscoe Cain, the bill's authors, as well as Senators Charles Perry, Dawn Buckingham, and Angela Paxton. The Governor named social media censorship legislation as an agenda item for the second special legislative session in August.

"We will always defend the freedom of speech in Texas, which is why I am proud to sign House Bill 20 into law to protect first amendment rights in the Lone Star State," said Governor Abbott. "Social media websites have become our modern-day public square. They are a place for healthy public debate where information should be able to flow freely - but there is a dangerous movement by social media companies to silence conservative viewpoints and ideas. That is wrong, and we will not allow it in Texas. I thank Senator Bryan Hughes, Representative Briscoe Cain, and the Texas Legislature for ensuring that House Bill 20 reached my desk during the second special session."

Predicting "Go Birds" will have a moment as the progressive "Let's Go Brandon", and people will be punished for saying it.

Clemson made it to the regional semifinal in New Jersey at the Meadowlands, lost to UConn. That regional final was Laettner's shot to beat UConn. youtu.be/3fwQyoLHBNc?...

When I was 6yo, my dad was the band director at Central Connecticut State University. Clemson was #5 in the NCAA tournament, in the Hartford regional with #1 UConn. The Clemson pep band didn't make the trip, and had the CCSU pep band fill in, so my dad was courtside with the band all Clemson-clad.

If you believe that a white woman who is a convicted child sex abuser and trafficker is innocent and honest, but a Latino father who had to be released because they could find no evidence against him is guilty and a liar, then it isn't law & order you believe in, it's child abuse & white supremacy.

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.

Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.
