I’ve never been called a Bernie supporter, but he absolutely needs to be putting his energy in to supporting and mentoring rather than running. Again.

That sounds very normal.

😉

The skin-tight inner layer was a necessity for soccer tournaments.

Officiating four-plus games per day with no nipple protection is something one only does once.

I feel similarly about running.

Kind of terrifying to to think that if Alabama de emphasized football and put in the work that they could have their own nucular deterrent

This data consolidation is in flagrant violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and the way ICE is using it for political and racial repression is the nightmare scenario of the people who drafted that law 5 decades ago.

Segfault.

Null pointer reference.

Pro tip: take a peanut/caramel/chocolate candy bar with you when facing monsters.

They’re vulnerable to a snickers snack.

Yeah, “don’t want kids going to school in the dark” wasn’t really an option.

Kenai, AK, fwiw

Contrast with Google or GirHub’s OAuth login pages.

Needs a logo and an explanation.

Who owns that page, and why is it asking for a logo in?

I lived north enough that in December the sun came up shortly before 10:30a.m., and was down by 4:00 p.m.

Summer was the other way ‘round, with 23+ hours of sunlight.

B.C. includes that same latitude. An hour either way isn’t going to make that much difference.

What a reprobate: Walking the earth as an angel in disguise doing good things for people. 😉

Unless one works for DoD, per Hegseth’s directive to make it part of everyone’s “daily battle rhythm.”

🤡

Here’s where it gets trickier, I think.

If this were a person giving the same advice, would there be UPL implications?

Opposing counsel needs to start getting more aggressive about sanctions.

UPL? Please?

That’s really gonna depend on whether the one got hired as faculty somewhere or was disappeared by ICE.

You can have my proxy voice for this one.

What is crazy about this spreadsheet is that DEI is defined nowhere (much like the Executive Order on which it is based). Also, notable, none of the actual statutory terms that regulate the National Endowment for the Humanities. Also notable, no search term based on the term, humanities.

I wish “injury” included having to suffer the bumptious SES leadership who continue to lack the spines to support employees.

Me: The PB&J is right there. Knock yourselves out.

NYPD is a bigger standing army than many countries, so 🤷‍♂️

Your second skeet is my point.

*If* that line is crossed, how is that best demonstrated, and how will the LLM provider be held accountable?

(Modern history suggests “not at all.”)

While *I* wouldn’t trust an LLM w/ legal issues, many aren’t that sophisticated, which is why we have UPL laws.

Accountants and engineers don’t have privilege but are still regulated.

I ge there’s a 1A line between “providing information” & “practicing”.

I’m thinking of a recent student legal aide clinic that was recently shuttered, supposedly for “practicing”. Is there as distinguishing legal principle?

Obviously, NEH grants never should have been clawed back in the first place, DOGE is a lot of crap, and all grants should be reinstated, but if you want to feel PARTICULAR rage about how half-assed and cruel the whole process is, read the AI rationale for terminating the TEAMS METS grant

In the U.S., the FCC was on its way, but Ajit Pai and then Brendan Carr killed those rules.

Any guesses who nominated them?

Is that the same poll where something like 3/4 of people claim to be above average drivers?

Not just raining here, it’s thunder storming!

We are doing the wise thing, as you suggest.

Even setting aside the possibility LE is getting more competent, I agree it’s likely Meta doesn’t view privacy as a market need, corporate value, or strategic differentiator. Evidence & history strongly suggest Zuck has never cared about privacy.

I was pushing back on the “most companies” part.
