yes. i think the only thing the white house has accomplished this week is dramatically grow the crowds against them.
I think all they’ve really managed to do this week is encourage more people to turn out for the No Kings protests.
Being underwater on every issue before July is pretty impressive.

DHS and ICE aren’t sending their best people. Well, maybe they are…
Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop
"Put your hands behind your back."
"I'm trying, you have to let go of them first."

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."
This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

They hypothesize that there exist key "forking tokens," such that re-sampling the system at those specific tokens, but not others, leads to very different outcomes.
An example would be that a simple punctuation mark, or just a single token, can prompt an LLM to produce a different response.

This electric mini-truck is the length of a Mini Cooper—but can carry as much as a bigger truck
Telo's new EV can haul lumber or surfboards—and it starts at just $41,250.

Barista at Starbucks compliments my new Grateful Dead holiday sweater. I ask him if he is a fan of the GD. He says “I think I know one of those guys… Jimmy Hendrix or something?”. I correct him and he says “earliest band I know of is Linkin Park or something?”. Truly we are doomed.

Built a super helpful Google Classroom app to organize and plan my son’s schoolwork. All front end, requests minimal read-only scopes and profile data. It used to work fine and helped my son improve his grades until SFUSD locked down their org.

I’m an admitted #LLM junkie, but as a research assistant they are best used as a cross-reference and “info expansion pack” for other more reliable sources of truth. E.g. reading a book on #Azure and asking #ChatGPT detailed questions about what I’m reading to deepen my understanding.

Turns out Google Voice reclaims your number after about a year of no use. This makes it particularly unsuitable for an infrequently-used disaster recovery account MFA mechanism. Don’t ask me how I know. 🤦♂️

Why would certain AWS APIs which control global resources (ie. things like DNS which are not tied to a region) only be available in certain regions?!? LightSail’s DNS api endpoints are only available in us-east-1. That’s cracked.

AWS LightSail doesn’t get enough love. It’s brain dead simple way to host apps and websites on your personal domain. I ran a Minecraft server and web app on it for 3 years with zero observed downtime.
