Judge stayed his ruling until tomorrow at noon. Trump admin will get a stay from the 9th Circuit, and it will take weeks to resolve there. Or they might go straight to SCOTUS with an emergency application, also stayed pending resolution. So the status quo will remain for some time.

As a business user, I can confidently report that Microsoft customer service has surpassed the DMV and linear cable providers as the worst, most feckless, most understaffed customer service experience in recorded history

Mechanically following poll tests on every issue is, in fact, the distilled essence of what people dislike about politicians. People want a politician who has convictionsāadmittedly, which largely align with their own. Harris shows us itās pretty damn hard to have convictions about polling memos.

The argument doesnāt even seem correct. Obama at least created the appearance of having independent convictions, while Harris was a walking strategy memo. 2008 Obama appeared unscripted and sold a vision, 2024 Harris was always filming a commercial and seemed to reflect what she was told voters want

Looking at American history alone, Mattās argument is actually kind of reprehensible. There are periods where public opinion has been wrong and immoral. A good politician should lead public opinionānot promise to maintain a status quo that (eg) subjugates the disfavored minority of the day.

Don't get me wrong: Super Castlevania is virtually unplayable after you've spent 100 hours playing Dead Cells. Physics, depth, imagination, games have improved--or evolved--in countless ways beyond the single vector of polygon count.

Spider-Man 2 was an incredible technological feat that I put down about 15 hours in because the story was inane and the gameplay extremely repetitive.

There's a reason Balatro was among the most successful games last year. Graphics and realism are impressive technology but they don't make a "fun" game. The wide majority of "best' games in my library in recent years are indie titles that could have run on a PS1.

Literally who are these guys and why are they always wearing masks? Seems under-appreciated that we literally have a secret police of deputized nationalists roaming around and abducting people with no judicial process.

Perhaps itās boredom, perhaps itās some journalistsā pathological craving to stay ābalancedā by scolding both sidesāeven if one is bulldozing laws and norms while the other just tried to run for office after his body failed him.

Agencies are scrambling to implement the governorās decree with insufficient space to fit everyone. People are being reassigned to alternate offices, losing hours of their days to longer commutes, and sharing desks to implement the governorās vision (of running for President).

The RTO order is a senseless political and policy mistake. So many knowledge workers whose jobs can be performed 100% remote needlessly pulled from their families and put through hours of weekly commutes for no work-related reasons.

Seems like thereās a growing market for āfirewalledā software that keeps the user in a word processing app and prevents opening or pasting text from other apps. In law school we used Examsoft; I recall it being pretty janky.

Maybe some form of AI will be able to practice law some day, but I donāt think LLMs ever will. LLMs predict the next word in a sequence; they donāt and canāt exercise judgment. LLMs can outperform 90% of bar exam takers and underperform 100% of litigators.

Fictional cases are described with a level of detail and plausibility such that they sound like actual precedents on a superficial readingāleading particularly lazy attorneys to file raw GPT output in briefs and get sanctioned.
Thereās no sign of progress in reducing the hallucination problem.
