This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

I just used this to reverse-engineer the core functionality of an Android app in about 40 minutes. LLMs driving the cost of reverse-engineering any software to nearly zero seems like it could have some interesting and potentially disastrous consequences. github.com/morluto/rea

This is a fantastic explanation that cuts through the ai-sales-hype.

"I was a senior engineer on the Doomsday Device for the last five years." "Holy shit! Did you try to sabotage it?" "I argued strongly that there should be a visible timer, but I was overruled. So I would say the ball is in your court now."

Silicon Valley’s best and brightest.

The first thing we're going to do when we win this Senate seat? Hold Trump accountable. Then, onto the real work – taking on big corporations, taxing billionaires their wealth, and guaranteeing healthcare through Medicare for All.

When women lead the Resistance

Keep thinking of this thing I saw on instagram: “if no one is coming to save you, then probably no one is coming to stop you.”

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

Stephen Miller at an international conference about cartels: "These organizations can only be defeated with military power. I see some heads nodding because they understand. You're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your own country, I'm sure. You have my permission not to listen to them."

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

In several rounds of intense negotiations, Tehreran was unable to match the bribes to the Trump family offered by its regional rivals Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.

I’m a lawyer not a historian, but I believe it’s fair to say that the founders expected a Trump to emerge, and they willingly bet the nation on their confidence that, when he did, the Congress would impeach and remove him.

Just discovered that @sarahjeong.bsky.social is part of my machine learning coursework. Congrats on achieving textbook status.

At the Liberty Science theater they have a Departure/Arrivals screen for diseases and it is the most depressing and anger-inducing thing I’ve seen in a while.

Wow.

“If Mastercard and Visa were turned off, it would send us back to the 1950s,” before cards dominated the UK economy, and businesses wholly relied on cash, one executive familiar with the project told the Guardian. “Of course, we need a sovereign payments system.”

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Why is LinkedIn recommending that I follow Bari Weiss.

RESIST FASCISM

Stasi or Nazi. In the sick, twisted, minds (or what's left of their brains) of Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and their loyal masked thugs, this is a war of us vs. them. And, in war, in their playbook, anything goes ... anything.

So far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end? "

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

New: "Microsoft Gave FBI Keys To Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw" @thomasbrewster.bsky.social for @forbes.com

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

I found it! This is his first post, from September 2020. There are two follow-ups linked at the bottom. I appreciate the author's frankness and candor.

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying." Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

What I see and what is being described in reporting based on video review is not a concistent with a vehicle ramming attack. Reports also indicate the agent was not in the vehicle’s direct path when shots were fired and that at least some shots were fired from the side as the vehicle moved away. 4/7

I have written on this tactic for over a decade. I hold a research grant on vehicle ramming attacks, and I curate what I believe is the largest database of these incidents, over 500 cases worldwide since 1987. 2/7

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
