This would not have passed if those chickenshit Dems Davis, Cellar, and Gonzalez had not voted for it. They voted to put the parents of trans youth in prison for ten years.

Primary them all.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

i've been spending a bunch of time deep in the weeds on constrained decoding, speculative decoding, and novel model architectures, and i have thoughts. and they are messy.

i have a track record of having great early technical insights. this is not a brag, though – being too early is usually functionally equivalent to being wrong.

build out the steel thread.
make sure it's sound and effective.
optimize, while maintaining those qualities.
add additional language support.
optimize the damn thing again.
make the interfaces nicer.

As part of my work on Ananke, I'm working on a new constrained decoding engine for SGLang, supporting constraint satisfaction with coordinated constraints, typed holes, and progressive refinement.

Denver scaled back a street safety project after pushback from the family of Colorado's wealthiest man.

While the city told the public that construction was the hold up, @spencersoicher.bsky.social obtained internal city emails showing the issue was "high level" community concerns.

in another terminal: working on super weird styling and effects for a game interface.
