Ken Paxton likely used a little known database that tracks RX records of controlled substances to target gender affirming care providers. Worse, he can access the prescription records of anyone without a warrant in over 37 states with an agreement with Texas. www.thedissident.news/texas-ag-ken...

is there a bit hack way to round 32-bit floats to the nearest power of two interval, given some power of two interval size? for example, snap interval: 1/64 (0.015625) value: 4637/256 (18.11328125) should yield: 1159/64 (18.109375) I feel like there should be something better than round(v/i)*i

It isn’t corruption for government officials to receive gifts worth hundreds of millions if you can’t point to a favor they did before receiving the gift is an incredible take. An incredibly bad one.

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

So to use yarn correctly, the steps are: Install npm, the thing you don't wanna use Install yarn Then tell yarn you actually want it to use the real version of itself which is 3 major versions ahead You do this by knowing that it now calls that version of itself "berry" ?

The idea of letting AI run loose in your prod env as a way to force an observability evolution amongst your engineers is a somewhat intriguing proposition, provided you can weather the storm long enough to get there.

I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it
