Pigs are brilliant but pernicious structural engineers—as soon as they have access to ground next to a building, they set about devising ways to undermine its foundations.

It’s bad enough when it’s just barns and outbuildings, but if a pig gets loose in the center of a major city it’ll start toppling skyscrapers faster than Godzilla.

Who happen to be the same people who contributed money to his inauguration.

Harbor is currently in a private preview under Apple’s Claris brand…

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

Use them to replace CEOs.

If you’re a king, you might get off with doing public penance:

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Hmm… of the 25 senators to oppose the bill, all but one were Democrats.

The one exception was Republican Mike Rounds of South Dakota, who’s always been opposed to any kind of environmental regulation and who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil industry. I wonder why he flipped on this one?

We know Amazon’s doing practically the same thing, and Google, Facebook, etc. are doubtless doing it too.

The difference—for better or worse—is that Apple’s using your own machine instead of their servers.

Blazers. Just for nostalgia.

I agree—one new justice per term, with no hard cap on the total number.

Given the average historical length of justices’ careers, the total would be roughly the same—but you’d never have a single president appointing a whole cluster based on the accident of other justices’ deaths or retirements.

And the mandatory line “close your eyes and think of England”.

Even if the Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority, any legislation they passed could still be vetoed by Trump. To overturn that they’d need 67 Senate seats plus two thirds of the House (and if they had that they could impeach and remove him outright).

Looking at the revision history, it looks like it was vandalized and then reverted five minutes later (and the vandalizing editor was blocked from making edits).

“Sam Altman Absolutely Hates the Idea of People.”

FTFY.

Spez: “I’m not logged in here with you—you’re logged in here with me!”

Funny—the only segments of the academic community where Haidt is taken seriously are the right-wing anti-“woke” sections that Meta otherwise promotes. I guess his push to ban teens from the internet was too extreme even for them.

You have to steal the hardware IRL before you can play the game on it.

Sure, but the Chinese and other models in the source study were no better than the US ones.

Is it normal usage now to use “model” to refer to a server with an LLM endpoint (as opposed to the software it’s using)?
