I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Heads Up, #Python Developers!
There is an active phishing attack targeting PyPI users.
• Threat: Emails from noreply@pypj.org (with a 'j') link to a fake login page.
• Action: Do not click any links. If you already did, change your PyPI password ASAP.
• Note: PyPI itself has not been breached.

A campaign targeted GitHub Actions to steal PyPI tokens—PyPI wasn’t compromised and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers. Stay safe: review your tokens, rotate any exposed ones, and use short-lived, scoped GitHub Actions tokens. Details:

They pepper sprayed us after this. We washed our faces and are back to singing we shall overcome. They’ll never win.
At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.
He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

The ICE facility in Dallas where three detainees were killed in a shooting on Wednesday is still closed, but many people with scheduled check-ins still showed up the next day, only to be turned away.
Despite fear, migrants show up for ICE appointments in Dallas and are turned away

If a real cop did something like this they’d be immediately reprimanded and likely suspended. These schmucks are going to get someone killed.
Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!”
Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now.
What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

ChatGPT -- and practically ALL Ay based on LLM -- are nothing more than #GlorifiedAutoComplete
They 'tokenize' your prompt, and based on the pattern of your 'tokens', emits a series of "most likely" tokens.
A series of #HiddenMarkov models.
They have no actual understanding.

ChatGPT doesn't "claim" anything, and it definitely isn't "factoring in" anything either. It is a system designed to output plausible-sounding text, given text as input. It is not answering questions, much less answering questions with respect to some knowledge base.

So.
On a whim, I replaced my keyboard with one that doesn't do spell-checking.
To my surprise, after a week of familiarization, I found myself actually typing much more accurately than before!
It seems having a robotic assistant that nannies your typing is detrimental to your hard skill...

When writing a regular expression in #IntelliJIDEA, you can complete \p{} character classes and see their description. Also, the description is shown if you hover the class. Works with many host languages: Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, and so on.
