Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

"Abliteration" that can uncensor any LLM without retraining. This technique effectively removes the model's built-in refusal mechanism, allowing it to respond to all types of prompts. — Very interesting read.

I'm sure someone at @alt18f.bsky.social has the IRS Direct File code. That work belongs to the American people and is in the public domain (github.com/18F/open-sou...). Push it to a GitHub repo. This is possibly our best chance at ending Intuit's bullying A FOSS, privately maintained, alternative

Lol the DOJ attorney spent like an hour earlier today getting microwaved by Judge Xinis for stammeringly repeating that he had NFC what his client's position was but that this is a very complicated case, you know, lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous, and then Trump just... blurted it out

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

hey ham radio nerds... remember NextNav and their proposal to repurpose the 900 MHz ISM spectrum for indoor positioning (and 5G NR)? Looks like the FCC might be interested, and has opened a Notice of Inquiry: docs.fcc.gov/public/attac... Another opportunity to comment!

I can confirm Reuters scoop that all sides agreed on a TikTok deal, but after tariffs, China indicated to ByteDance it would not be signing off on the agreement. I'm told China will be holding deal hostage until they can extract some kind of concessions, perhaps in the form of tariff relief.

laughing my ass off at "CoDCleaner", added to MW2 (2009) on Steam in August 2023 that has the sole purpose of removing a file named "dsound.dll" from the game directory every time the game updates to try to purge an actual computer worm that was spread via MW2 multiplayer via remote code execution

For public comment, think peer review not internet forum. Attach papers you cite, it’s more likely to get flagged as substantive, which forces a response. If you are part of an organization, have them write a comment on behalf of its members. Explain how you are stakeholders. Tie it to money.

To give a sense of how much money this is: according to CBO in 2023, non-defense discretionary spending was $917B. So the cost of running the entire federal govt, aside from SocSec, Medicare, Medicaid & defense was $917B. And in six weeks DOGE lit $500B on fire.

🚨 NEW 🚨 The IRS is on the cusp of an agreement with ICE to assist with deportations. The IRS would use confidential taxpayer information to verify addresses of suspected undocumented immigrants ICE is attempting to locate, @jeffstein.bsky.social & I can report.

RFK's group set up a fake CDC site full of vaccine disinfo. Very reminiscient of the fake "abortion" websites antis put up, to trick women seeking abortions into being too afraid to do it.
