100% correct. making arguments about the poor quality or usefulness of the output while you're sitting in the middle of an exponential curve amounts to laying down under the bus
It is irritating that educators can only muster arguments about the tech being mid when the obvious counterpoint by the industry that doesn't give a shit about education is: but tech only gets better every day! Quality is utterly beside the point here bc the project isn't about education to begin w.

If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.

* 2025 included the first month ever when 51% of power on the U.S. grid was carbon-free

Clean energy is going to win. It's just a question of when.
Clean energy is still winning. These 10 charts prove it.
Solar and wind are beating new power demand, steelmaking is slowly getting off coal, and more clean energy victories are clear in these charts.

this is awesome. I had see exe.dev but it didn't really click. now I have to try it. I've been spinning up personal apps but authentication is something I've never seen done in a way I love. like in github.com/david-crespo... I do client-side API keys primarily to avoid having to deal with auth

with your friends. There are three mechanisms:
1. Make the HTTP proxy public with `share set-public <vm>`. To point the proxy
at a different port inside the VM, run `share port <vm> <port>` first.
Marking it public lets anyone access the server without logging in.
2. Add specific e-mail addresses using `share add <vm> <email>`. This will
send the recipient an e-mail. They can then log into exe.dev with that e-mail,
and access `https://vmname.exe.xyz/`.
3. Create a share link with `share add-link <vm>`. The generated
link will allow anyone access to the page, after they register and login.
Revoking the link (which can be done with the `remove-link` command)
does not revoke their access, but you can remove users who are already
part of the share using `share remove <vm> <email>`.
When you share a VM, users will see your email address.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ctphcgyhnllfluywokibtrgb/bafkreift7o2ft7dt2wqywutzqmq6ftace5hhisztavaxpyg66yvxajof3a@jpeg)

impressively boring article. not an interesting thing in there. quotes are all banalities. I don't think teachers have any reason to incorporate LLMs into lessons. they should, however, try using them like students would in order to understand the possibility space defined by skill, effort, and cost
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service.
Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary.
We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."
18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiftbhzwvn3vgwhqsi7k2paizvdw4t26ailljvovso3chqupnmj364@jpeg)
