A nice walk up in the hills last month, with #kodakgold and #summilux50asph. #filmphotography

I dug into the methods and appendix, and hoo boy is that title "AI Article Reviews Dominate Human Peer Reviews at Their Best" deceptively broad. The overwhelming number of submissions were quantitative and statistical, only 9 were formal mathematical, and 11 were qualitative.

SpaceX appears to disclose that Anthropic makes up about 35% of its revenue last quarter, unless you can think of another plausible customer that spent $5 billion on SpaceX AI...

Between "AI" and possibly LLM-fueled security hijinks, I'm not finding Internetting all that much fun these days. It was nicer when you ran your Web site with unsecured FTP and nothing more dynamic than an GIF.

Prosecutors pushing a plea deal, likely to save face. They should get a night in jail for every day they didn’t drop the charges after this fuckup became clear. State pays her costs and restitution.

what percentage of people responsible for a php thing know they are

Holy hell

This is wrong. Joel was NOT a MAGA fan he was an old school GOP person. And the fact that he’s being replaced by Dina McCormick, former Trump adviser, tells you all you need to know about where Facebook is betting.

We asserted a common law and First Amendment right to the immediate release of Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago report. It's a good argument but we're having a *lot* of trouble getting the Eleventh Circuit to schedule argument, even though it granted an expedited appeal. I've never seen anything like this.

investigators get involved Oct 2023, so before LLM coding/agentic was rampant. How’s it going with organized crime now?

I assume this is because of that one time when the dude was flying over as I was on a wonderful long run out there and I gave Marine One the finger, mumbling apologies to the aviators just doing their job.

A bad update: we're getting reports of pro-No Kings creators who have been suspended today as well. And we still lack backend access to the official No Kings account. Stay tuned, will report news when I have it.

Weird job in the home town!

She seems to have worked for a stint at a Chinese law firm, which does not necessarily require either a US or Chinese law license.

Even if current and forthcoming "AI" does not cause horrible pestilence, the junk information and junk code as asbestos metaphor will probably be apt.

A haunted house where every room has several colleagues to whom you owe work, or email responses

Now we’re talking.

We are six (6) years into this story and it’s still a cluster.

Obviously, but to reiterate: Abolish DHS.

Six months ago:

As good a time as any to mention that Prof Benjamin’s “Imagination: A Manifesto“ was one of my top 5 reads of last year. bookshop.org/p/books/imag...

Anne Carson, holding a reality cap on her head lest it blow away, on her call with the Nobel people: “They have the usual questions, and I have no answers.“ Video: www.ruv.is/english/2026...

This should be a wake-up call for anyone who doesn't think “artificial intelligence” is also a blurry to the point of silly concept. (Proper use of an en-dash would technically solve this, but only for really irritating readers.)

Google with some dark patterns. I have maxed out storage on an old account where I've paid $29/yr for 200GB. I'd be ok with paying more, but the next they offer is 2TB at $99/yr (overkill, with AI stuff I don't need). If this were a new account I could have a better option at $49 a year. Rude

Among other things, imagine with me what this says about US stability to leaders in China, which has a much more realistic chance of such strikes and can presume is constantly vulnerable to US nuclear strike.

There is no solidarity without difference.

Come say hi Wednesday at 3:30 in SF. I'll be joining a panel on Chinese LLMs and what they and their governance means in the world. With Kristy Loke, @rinachandran.bsky.social @dbjork.bsky.social @restofworld.org partiful.com/e/3l6UgECXhB...

My favorite genre of advertising is the pitch for a product so specific to an occupation or hobby I don't have that is proves my constellation of privacy preferences and tracker blockers is working for this particular site.

NYT is really trying to lose a subscriber here with its inability to believe a person has objectively too many devices.

Excellent thread on an article arguing “polarization” is not the problem.
