“Trump spent years campaigning against risky and expensive wars, and criticizing hawkish foreign policy decisions” is just straightforwardly false. It’s completely made up!

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated before the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

A snow clearing audit found that HRM does not accurately monitor snow clearing contractors for compliance, does not know the cost of winter operations & therefore may not adequately allocate resources, and that public complaints about snow-clearing were closed without analyzing performance trends

Arguably the most insane part of this story is that OpenAI projects it will only make $15bn in enterprise revenue/business revenue in 2030. That means they want to make $100bn a year in CONSUMER subscriptions. That's insane! That's more than twice what Netflix makes ($39bn a year)!

This is an excellent piece of long-form journalism about the undignified and sad decline of a Halifax staple. It's paywalled but the Examiner is well worth the price of admission.

Panthers winning again probably does the most damage to the game possible. Instead of teams spending the summer trying to find more skill/talent, they are looking for big, mean players that are always on the line of legal/illegal plays, Just in case Bettman’s rules favour your franchise 🤢

Pretty bizarres, seeing as how they spent that last four years worrying about WW3 rather than getting behind the President (Biden) on Ukraine.

The bad news is the crash won’t just wipe out the grifters and idiots who invest in crypto. This bill basically injects crypto into the mainstream system so it can bring us all down.

A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

Trump leaves the g7 summit early... if it were Biden, the media would say he was tired and needs to rest because he's old... Trump is declining and he's a danger to this country's safety.

Trump: “Putin talks to me - he doesn’t talk to anyone else, because he was deeply offended when he was kicked out of the G8.” Oh Donnie, they really fed you a whole load of nonsense - and you actually believe it.

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

This account is legitimately dangerous. Look at the quotes to this post featuring a wildly inflated number with no citation whatsoever: it's almost entirely old people who think it's for real and will now go out into the world armed w misinformation. And this account does this all the time.
