Thanks for sharing. All these experiences are very illuminating regarding the lesser impact of socialization, too. Like, I might have thought my female colleagues had just been told to cede the floor so many times they didn’t often speak at meetings. And that could still be adding to it, but here are the same individuals with the same habits getting starkly different treatment.

Even knowing these trends from countless other stories and statistics, hearing each additional experience helps keep it in mind and see more often when it’s happening.

I can’t tell from the article if there’s a real problem. None of the levels exceed FDA thresholds, and it sounds bad, but there’s also no definite claim of harm.

Your skin is beautiful. Want to share any photos of your breasts?

“And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack,” investigators said in the federal affidavit.

What’s “mass” about one drone? Is this just language to bring different legalities to bear?

Here he is:

What a mom, just reassuring her daughter the whole time.

I’ve been donating to Democracy Forward, who is suing people around the clock.

Octopus Lady is 100% crazy ocean creature facts. Also on Nebula.

If you haven’t played with Pulumi (for configuring cloud services) and Ansible (for local services, shell commands, apt installs etc) you may enjoy them as a way to capture / re-apply configuration.

Have seen this IRL. The only part that’s inaccurate is that the poop would be a single object rather than an area effect.

Video of the abduction. Good on the people of Boston for shouting them down in the street. Looks like some ICE goons without masks this time.

This is also the day of the DC protest, and there is a pay-what-you-can bus from Boston to DC for that: https://bit.ly/boston2dc . But great to gather in Boston & thanks for spreading this info!

Thanks. Pleasantly surprised that there are not too many ALPRs nearby me according to deflock.me. I was thinking, though, what about privately owned ALPRs to track known enforcement vehicles. I didn’t know what laws come into play there (or what unequal enforcement). The photos on the article do look high quality though, definitely beyond a Pi camera board pointed out a window. OTOH tagging “purple bumper sticker” or “bike rack” honestly doesn’t sound that far beyond OpenCV or AI tools these days.

What’s the camera technology like? Is a distributed citizen-owned network to watch the watchers feasible?

I do do interviews too. It’s a lot of time and work. A well designed interview can and should be a realistic, rewarding problem solving session where you get to try out collaboration with potential colleagues.

Cheating leetcode interviews with AI doesn’t seem that innovative to me, just adding dishonesty to a broken practice. Destruction is always easier than creation.

Also, as someone who frequently designs and runs SW interviews, it’s totally possible to run interviews that test actually important SW skills like OO design, error handling, and using APIs, which AIs still fail handily.

If you want to do something cool, make an AI to refactor your codebase for maintainability and security.

“Japanese Canadians were to be disposed of all their property without their consent,” write the authors. “Many did not learn of the fate of their homes, farms, businesses, or belongings until it was too late: everything they owned had been sold, usually for prices far below [market rates].”

The settlement included a largely symbolic redress payment of $21,000 to survivors, as well as monies for a community fund and human rights projects to work to prevent such racist outrages in the future.

Yikes. Thanks for sharing. I have yet to hear an example of reparations that really make things right.

No no they’re not “wrong,” they’re slouched in defeat because someone stole their keyboard, mouse, and desktop, leaving them with only a 1280x760 DVI monitor.

Cool, sounds like they’re replacing a lookup table with smooth extrapolation, but the hard part is fitting it on the old embedded hardware available in (even new) EVs.

Not to far from the Tesla customer personal video database.

A clear line back to voting and legislation:

A desire to resume executions during a 10-year pause due to a shortage of lethal injection drugs prompted Republican state lawmakers to pass and GOP South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster in 2021 to sign legislation forcing the state’s death row inmates to choose between the electric chair, firing squad, or lethal injection (if available) as their method of execution.

many South Carolina Republicans want to expand the category of crimes that qualify for capital punishment. In 2023, more than 20 Republican state lawmakers backed a bill to make people who obtain abortion care eligible for execution.
