I started working on using multi-agent RL to improve self driving in 2021. I started thinking about it in 2018. We're finally seeing this stuff run on cars in 2025. Research is a pretty long-haul thing.

Stand Tall.
Um @reed.senate.gov and @whitehouse.senate.gov when does the line get crossed? Is putting a foreign military base on US soils enough?
wha . . . . what?
If ever there was a more blatant admission of being an enemy of the constitution. @reed.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov
That's fucking sedition. @reed.senate.gov
Oh hell yes.
I have the solution: Make Tofu Great Again. Maybe if you got more Texans eating tofu we wouldn't have a problem. We could do a campaign around how Tofu is patriotic. Focus on Ben Franklin's obsession with the stuff . . .
If UBI existed and was enough to live on I'd release all my work for free. I'd work for free too, if the work was interesting and broadly beneficial. Corporations know that nobody would entertain their bad ideas if they weren't holding the ability to live over ppls heads
The government. CYA since the establishment of the states secrets doctrine in U.S. v Reynolds! Whole lot of norms around presuming folks in agencies ain't just lying through their teeth.
Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE
Claim: She boxed ICE in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE

Claim: ICE returned fire

βHeβs an idea machine,β EFFβs Cindy Cohn said of @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy in @NYTimes.com. βHeβs the source of more ideas about how technology and people should interact than any single person.β

Never bought the Yoda line here. Intention is real. In Buddhism a huge part of the 8 fold path is about intention.
Zip ties on children is a bit of a stretch for the party of family values.
First saw this design open source on thingaverse a few years ago. Just an example of how open source impacts defense.

Qubes? BSD? Tails? Though I suppose 1 & 3 are Linux.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks donβt even have a shred of compassion. Itβs one thing to enforce laws and rules. Itβs another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.
Itβs social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.
Anyone can become homeless at any time. Itβs not a personal failing.
We must fix it together.
We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.
Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.
Itβs illegal and un-American.
Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, itβs fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!
My new article, "An Enemy From Withinβ is now live. I analyze Donald Trumpβs recent address to our nation's military leaders and the dangerous demand for personal loyalty over constitutional duty. A line has been crossed, and the integrity of our democracy is at stake.
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.β These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.
Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.
