Also important: Tylenol is often taken for diseases (like flu) that *are* strongly suspected of increasing the risk of various long-term impacts (such as schizophrenia) on the resulting offspring. So if there's a correlation, it's likely due to something else causing both autism and tylenol usage.
Apparently 3 AWS data centers in UAE and Bahrain were damaged by drones (two direct hits, one near-hit that still caused damage). Definitely looking targeted at this point. Fun times.

In fairness, the people he's trying to convince to vote for him in 2028 know what a splitting maul is and can explain exactly when to use it vs. an axe. That said, they probably also won't be swayed by such obvious pandering.
I’m hoping the top-level one is something like this:
1. Why did EC2 go down?
Answer: DC hit by a drone (or shrapnel or whatever).
2. Why was the DC hit?
Answer: we bombed Iran
3. Why’d we do that?
Answer: <gestures wildly around at the state of the US>.
Oh man am I glad that I no longer work on AWS CloudHSM. The service was/is great but having to deal with a secure-hardware-based stack after a datacenter takes a military strike is not an experience I'm eager to have.
While it’s true there is a difference, it’s also important to remember that neither are actually diagnoses in a clinical sense, just overlapping sets of symptoms characteristic of a few different psychiatric conditions.
I’ve been asked to give a workshop on GenAI-assisted coding at work, giving me quite a bit of faith that my boss isn’t snooping on my public socials.
I'm guessing it's terrestrial erosion, as I'd expect a meteorite of that shape to be iron instead of stone, but I'm very much not an expert. Regardless of origin it's a beautiful, cool rock.
"Also in the medal mix are Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson of Britain, whose presentation is so energetic they should be scored in kilojoules."
I couldn't resist: if we assume a top speed of 5 m/s and a combined mass of at least 80kg, then yes, that is over 1000 joules.

Yes, I’m sure the market crash is because of how much AI is enabling and not the realization that while it may help with some specific tasks, it isn’t economically feasible for the vast majority of what it’s supposed to take over.
People are insane.

if you’re not putting General Sherman in charge of the DOJ in your administration we aren’t interested
But that may just be me being overly cynical after a dozen years working with HSMs and hardware security. I'd love to be wrong and for there to be a reasonably simple solution to this. At the very least it'd be cool if Apple tried something like this with iPhone cameras. (3/3)
It might be useful in certain situations where the camera can be examined frequently (photographers at prestigious news agencies and crime-scene photographers are two that come to mind), but I don't see it having much public impact as cops and journalists are already tanking in terms of trust.

This is less useful than a lot of people think. The TL;DR is that 1. TPMs aren't 100% immune to tampering and you just need to crack one to sign fake images, and 2. the input data itself could be faked (either by replacing the sensor or pointing it at a good-enough screen). (1/3)
3 yrs ago I started writing a book that is in stores TODAY. It's narrative nonfiction, anti-fascist spy thriller set in Trump era. It's timely as hell & I'm proud of it.

Looks like it 404s when accessed over a VPN but not if you aren't using one.
It feels very weird to dig out my old mountaineering gear to go for a walk in the coastal plains region of the south.
It pisses me off when articles like apple.news/A5Wrva_s7RL6... say that the speed with which AI is evolving is why it’s crucial to integrate it into school. That’s exactly why it shouldn’t be a big focus. GPTs are 8 years old and have been common for 3. Tech changes quickly; math and science don’t.
I really wish more people realized that recent layoffs aren’t because of AI, they’re because the economy is in the shitter and only propped up by AI speculation. AI is just a convenient excuse that delays a complete collapse of the market.

Experience so far with Claude Code: it tried to inject a remote code execution engine into an API request router.
At least one good but junior FAANG dev I spoke with didn’t catch it.
The next while is going to be even more of a payday for hackers and infosec folks than their wildest dreams.
the apparatchiks of this regime have de facto surrendered their right to share this society with the rest of us. theyre too dangerous to walk among us anymore
It's like saying "once the feds decide someone is guilty of a crime, locking them up for life is fine," and completely ignoring whether the person is (or has been found by a jury to be) guilty. Sure, most people agree prison is necessary, but the process by which people end up there matters.
(3/3)
Also, the author implies that Mahmoud Khalil's case is comparable to one about which he says, "once Virginia decided to deport the three arrivals, they no longer had the state’s consent."
A bit part of the issue is the process behind making that decision to deport someone.

If your main example for why something is Constitutional is a slaveholder being a dick to brown people 240 years ago, before the US Constitution was written, you're an idiot.

I think the best predictor of a person's views on LLMs are their thoughts on broad popsci books like Sapiens: There are people who read it and think "sure, it's wrong about the stuff I'm an expert in, but I trust the rest is accurate", and then there are people who see the big problem in that.
Faint red aurora over/behind trees.
They’re faint but were visible about two hours ago in Virginia (may still be in parts, but clouds rolled in to my neck of the woods).
Faint red aurora through the trees.
The aurora is visible in central VA.
Warner is up for reelection next year, whereas Kaine isn't up until 2030. The caucus met to decide who would take the risk of voting with the GOP, so that as many dems as possible could pretend to have a spine.
Paragraph from an article in Haaretz by David Rosenberg, discussing why some Jews voted for Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor: “If they aren't hurting economically, why would Jews, young or old, support a candidate promising things like free bus rides that they don't need, and threatening to raise taxes that they will have to pay more of?”
Perhaps even some financially-well-off Jews voted for Mamdani because improved social services make society better for everyone in it?
If the article weren’t written by a Jewish author for Haaretz, I’d honestly guess parts were written by quite the antisemite.
