"The U.S. Department of Justice-including the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, an appointed U.S. special counsel and the solicitor general, all of whom were involved in different ways in the criminal prosecutions underlying these cases and are opposing Mr. Trump’s constitutional and statutory claims — can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law." #SCOTUS#alito
@OtherRyn possibly even more frustrating to watch from within. as someone who has tried to do get out the vote organizing for senate and other races, i can't help but grieve the (rationally justified) level of apathy among unlikely voters
@seachanger The opinion piece makes clear "we" cannot force them to recuse. The Supreme court can be petitioned to recuse them. That is all. No force. Begging.
@nblr@zwangseinweisung Grundsätzlich nicht verkehrt für den Preis. Die scheinen mir aber nicht für den permanenten Transport geeignet; eher für die Lagerung. Allein schon wegen der Anzahl der Schließen. Pelis lassen sich übrigens auch wunderbar stapeln. Die greifen ebenfalls ineinander.
@normanposselt@zwangseinweisung
Schon. Nutze ich hier auch, sind aber für Lagerhaltung einfach preislich nicht tragbar. Die Auer-Boxen sind prima für Dinge aus dem eigenen Euroboxen-Lager, die man gelegentlich mal mitnimmt.
@baldur The article reads a little like a nothingburger… Google extracts author information but there is no evidence that it influences ranking. That’s not exactly new, since schema.org is a Google-led project which helps you to explicitly provide metadata like authors.
Ne jamais se baisser jambes presque tendues dans un encadrement de porte, ton cul va toucher l'encadrement en premier, ce qui va pousser ton corps vers l'avant et donc claquer ta tête dans l'encadrement d'en face
I've been aware of the idea since my late teens or early twenties or so, but I've really come to appreciate in the last couple of years to what degree the information your senses tell you is subjective to the point of approaching total fiction.
This all creates a strange problem I do not have an answer for. As your ability to perceive the world and yourself on a very fundamental level is both subjective and malleable, why is it that being intentional about it considered to be sole purview of eccentrics (artists, kinky people, game developers, body modification, and so on)? Why would you choose to reject having such agency? I can't understand it.
I woke up feeling like garbage and so did my wife... and our younger child had a bad cough for a few days already. Well, guess what. No fever but headache and brain fog.
@gabrielesvelto take care, and don't be surprised by a slow recovery. I got it in September (from a visiting parent who was not careful enough...) and it took me months to get back to my regular physical shape on a bike. Any moderate or above effort was impossible, with my heart rate climbing up super fast on the same routes I've done for years without issues.
The note contains four requests. (1) David Pecker testimony regarding phone conversation during investor meeting, (2) Pecker Testimony related to McDougal's life rights agreement, (3) Pecker testimony regarding Trump Tower meeting, and (4) Cohen testimony regarding Trump Tower meeting #TrumpTrial
Lesley Riddoch here arguing, essentially, that we all have to bite our tongues, haud oor whischt, and vote #SNP, because "they're the only parliamentary route to #ScottishIndependence. I count Lesley as a friend and as someone I greatly respect, but I think she's wrong here: there is no longer a parliamentary path to independence.
The environmental crisis accelerating in leaps, not steadily, and the shift in politics worldwide towards extremism, are not unrelated. Sociology of religion says that cognitive dissonance in general life drives people to adopt highly coherent, unchallengeable ideologies, and extremist politicians (and their marketing teams) know this. "Pragmatist" politics based on slow, steady, market-friendly changes are not able to cope with either (1) the actual changes happening or (2) the appeal of hateful, fearful politics.
My wife and I recently bought an "Emma Mattress". It one of those fancy pants memory foam mattresses. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm very excited about it. I think that officially makes me old, right?
@kev Nope. My wife and I bought our first foam mattress almost twenty years ago. I was so excited for that thing. It was awesome! I might be old now, but I wasn't then!
Random SwiftUI question: is there a way to force SwiftUI's TabView to create all its views' bodies immediately? Say tab 3 kicks off a network request when a subview is created and it'd be great if it started immediately
In UIKitLand loadViewIfNeeded() worked well for this, but I can't figure out how to get SwiftUI to create the view
I could manually cycle between them (and it persists obviously), but that feels hacky
I had 4 citronella tea lights (you know, the little metal cups) on my back patio table yesterday and they're GONE. Husband didn't touch them. I thought I'd heard something out back late last night. Has anyone had large birds or squirrels or something else steal candles? So freaking weird.
@joel This looks like the union is concerned with LLMs and generative AI overall and are openly against the partnership. lol this statement doesn't mention anything about "getting rich" or any compensation or revenue at all.
@joel Look, my only point is that it seems to be the case that people are taking this story, pointing at it aggressively, and yelling about how much they hate OpenAI and LLMs. Which is fine, but it's a little like seeing a story headlined "AI Developer Shits on a Puppy" and then yelling "SEE AI IS EVIL, LOOK AT THIS IT'S ALL EVIL OMG LLMS ARE SO BAD."
Here is the (two dimensional) political placing of the parties in the forthcoming UK election from Political Compass....
If you thought you didn't have an awful lot of choice, the fact that all major parties are (on this assessment) siting in the blue (Right/Authoritarian) quadrant will confirm that suspicion
@ChrisMayLA6@melanie@PoliceStateUK It really irritates and annoys me to hear London journalists refer to #Labour and the #LibDems as 'centre left'. Objectively, of course, they're nothing of the sort -- but in the perversely distorted context of English politics, there is some (relative) truth to it.
But it's also really sad, from a Scottish context, so see how far right the #SNP are these days.
@sun@grillchen I don't know why this suggestion amuses me so much. I think it has been a thing. On saying this, you can't have them being female-only because of trans women rights now. Even if this is abused by criminals.
@sim@sun it would be great if taxis would be affordable again in the west. or car renting more prominent. well it changes. there are some areas/communities where u have to be part of the local car renting thingie to buy a appartment/house.
average car lies still for pber 23h per day. it makes sense 500 people to have less than 500 cars.
how many though is a diffferent topic.
also it is wild how much space streets, parking lots and co take up.
imo a good city needs parking lots at the outskirts and REALLY good public transportation from parking lot to everything else.
so if u visit the city u leave ur car outside.
though as long that is not the case i dont blame people for using their car.
As both incumbents and investors rush to do Everything With "AI," their singular focus ignores multiple areas that are ripe for building something new.
Here I argue that the rise of LLMs is converging with larger social issues that provoke demand for:
@danilo basically, reveal the sources under the probability mass that‘s used to estimate the answer.
I wonder how well such a system that suggests a connected smattering of sources off of a possible way a human might glue them together, would actually work pretty well to discover information clusters you can then read on from (i.e. about obscure features of a language and its implications)
@Sevoris I suspect there's something of the cyborg waiting here
The problem with an LLM right now is the lack of judgement. If it were possible to combine its efficiency and summarization gifts with human signaling, that could go somewhere
In other words, where are the human curation supports that only the machine can do at scale
Ah ce petit crachin tenace dans une brise insidieuse sous un ciel de plomb gris ... ça nous change des averses orageuses dans un vent glacial sous un ciel de plomb noir.
C'est cool, la pluie est moins froide, ça sent le printemps

Je fais respectueusement savoir à señor météo que j'ai procédé à une épilation des jambes pour mettre des shorts et des robes. A ce rythme j'aurai repris mon poil d'hiver avant d'avoir sorti ma première robe. C'est un échec cinglant pour l'harmonie de ce monde
Après les chômeurs, Macron va-t-il s'en prendre aux travailleurs malades? La Cour des comptes, présidée par Moscovici, propose de ne plus indemniser les arrêts maladie de moins de 8 jours. Pour Mosco, la durée maximum de trois ans de versement des indemnités "augmente le risque de désinsertion professionnelle et retarde la mise en invalidité de personnes dont l’état est stabilisé". https://www.ccomptes.fr/sites/default/files/2024-05/20240529-RALFSS-2024.pdf
