According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

how bad do you have to fuck up to allow an exploit in fucking NOTEPAD
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

i will take this moment to thank the super nice Stanford aeronautical engineering PhD guys who enthusiastically welcomed me to the Stanford drone club when I was getting my journalism masters degree, and taught me that building and flying drones was 100% something I could figure out how to do.
I was the only psych major in a microbio class in college and got called the "handicapped student" for it by the professor and none of the other students (mostly ahole biochem kids) wanted to work with me in labs because of it lol. but somehow always wanted psych 101 and stats tutoring 🙃

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Like I dunno, I keep thinking about how every time women, especially older women, start becoming *visible* in a left-of-center movement, instead of just invisibly making it run, there’s complaints that the movement is somehow now too centrist.
Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc
And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Best not to think too hard about what the rise of AI tools will ultimately mean for academia, because it is too depressing. We must change the ways in which we measure academic success, which must be more in terms of quality and originality, and less in terms of sheer quantity of academic outputs.
'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3
AI is not a peer, so it can’t do peer review
If we still believe that science is a vocation grounded in argument, curiosity and care, we can’t delegate judgement to machines, says Akhil Bhardwaj
