How do we get to more than just three web engines owned by three US companies?
It's a gargantuan question, with no easy or right answer.
I've put together a draft report, thinking about it through a very specific approach - please enjoy:

There's no alt text on these screencaps but the doc they're taken from is linked in the next post in the thread. Like I've been saying all along: he's known what his tattoo meant since 2009 *at minimum*.
Hawaii: you're up. Call your House representatives and tell them to oppose SB 2761, which is heading to the House from the Senate: it's a total ban on social media for under-16s, not made any better by the obvious typo in the effective date of 2077. legiscan.com/HI/bill/SB27...
"We never expected to worry that diseases we thought were gone might come roaring into their lives — yet here we are." Grandparents speak up - they know what the diseases are like and why vaccines are important.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
#1 (imo) is that norms were doing way more work than anyone really appreciated
wild how when you construct a subculture which is largely anti-intellectual and anti-art you don’t end up with intellectual or artistic influence
But at this point you don't want a generic LLM to respond with the regular context. You want to strictly follow a good script, so at minimum you still want the LLM to redirect (even if doing so silently) to something that you know won't give bad advice

CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.
Over 4 million man hours, and all they have is boys.
The US govt mixing video of real violence in a war it started with a video game scene feels like crossing a(nother) line.
I’m not sure what to say. I don’t think war is a game. And even when I think military action is necessary, there are real human beings on the other end, not pixels that respawn.
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Does nobody remember the US bombing the Kunduz MSF hospital that local military leadership knew was there and had been in communication with?
The EIGHT weddings we drone striked?
US citizen kid executed without trial by drone while camping?
Jesus wept. This is the most horribly ill-conceived UK government public awareness campaign I've ever seen. And that's saying a *lot*. It could easily lead a teen to self-harm, or worse.
It should be urgently and immediately pulled. What are they thinking?!
Thread. (TLDR: the House of Lords DCC report on AI came down hard on the correct side of the debate, rather than siding with industry lobbyists.)
Hungary seized two Ukrainian cash transport vehicles with $40M, 35M euros and 9kg of gold, detaining seven Oshchadbank staff. FM Sybiha calls it "state terrorism and racketeering." GPS puts the vehicles in central Budapest near a security agency.
Sour grapes
"That test is extraordinarily broad. A person automatically fails if they have been sentenced to imprisonment for 12 months or more – whether in one sentence or cumulatively – regardless of how long ago the offence occurred, the age of the offender at the time, or the degree of rehabilitation."
"Final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 just started between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU.

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.
That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
The problem is bigger than prompts in GHA. Actions might now be the biggest attack vector for OSS. We just had major repos like Trivy get deleted because of workflows using the deadly pull_request_target event. gbhackers.com/hackerbot-cl...
Oh the irony lol
The culprit: GitHub Actions. Devs are using untrusted input (like issue titles) in workflows with permissive defaults. It’s the same old injection story, just with a new YAML flavor. If your CI/CD trusts external strings, you’ve already lost. #devops 2/5
