someone should really tell him that, much like rapey men, politics doesn't simply disappear when ignored

I am disappointed to learn that the gcc man page no longer just says "You don’t want to know about this brain-damage" regarding trigraphs

"Obsolete principles" from a biometrics industry trade group hawking "digital identity for all"; you should be ashamed to push this shit

U.S. Denies Picking Bombing Targets From Random Twitter Accounts An anonymous OSINT sleuth mis-identified a quarry as an underground Houthi base. Days later, the Pentagon allegedly struck the site and killed eight people.

So there are a few ships making the Hormuz run, but in tiny numbers and not big ones.

By contrast, you can see the huge cloud of ships waiting outside the strait on either side.

Until there are more ships moving in the strait than sitting outside, the USA/Israel is not winning.

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

As if it weren't already abundantly obvious, you're going to need locally running models to do much of anything interesting or trust-sensitive with LLMs sooner rather than later

Who wouldn't want to talk to a "crisis counselor" who is legally obligated to pretend everyone is cishet, treats every passing thought as if it were a committed plan and might dispatch armed cops to your door against your will?

The "mandatory referral to crisis hotlines" people sure never think about why someone might not be talking to those hotlines in the first place

One missing piece is that a total revolution has *not* occurred in the evolution of how people decide _what_ software features or solutions to build, which was always a social and not technical problem, and the conditions of which have been in steady and then increasing deterioration for decades.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

...or get the GPU maker to support rational arithmetic and avoid the precision loss, I guess

(with how transformers normalize everything though I wonder if you'd really want to look for some suitably large finite subgroup of SO(d))
