Most agencies have policies requiring chases to be discontinued if the chase becomes the greater risk to the public.
Some of the 18k law enforcement agencies in The US are backwards on chasing (cough Alabama), but most major agencies are getting this right.

LLMs are transformer-based AI.
You should check out this book; it's very approachable (well, to data scientists/engineers). You'd appreciate seeing how LLMs capture so much of the signal encoded in language.
Claude is a massive aid in coding so LLMs aren't going away and are worth understanding.

Yeah, how did Goldberg get these top Trump officials to use an illegal insecure communication channel for this conversation?
I wonder how many other times Goldberg got them to use Signal to violate the Espionage Act and Federal Records Act?

$2,176B in income taxes were collected in 2023. $1.3B in back taxes is only 0.06% of 2023's income tax revenue. Maybe it would have increased nonlinearly as the IRS grew, but 0.06% is ... underwhelming.

What a rude and incorrect determination.
And as a data scientist who has also worked in fraud detection, I know the detection methods have improved a lot in the past quarter century.

At present, the law states Trump has absolute immunity to order the assassination of his political opponents and of any prosecutors who pursue his assassins.
Law in the US has been captured and corrupted. We need to build public support for a deep, durable reformation of the courts and their power.

It wasn't just "people" who reported and testified against that murderer, it was other warfighters who saw the same combat the murderer saw.

Yeah, that's always been my thought whenever I see these stories about Elon doing ketamine. It doesn't seem to fit his observable behaviors.
Still, I hope he maxes out of whatever he is doing. He looked so healthy just two years ago.

I can't really wrap my head around the speed at which he has accumulated wealth. It's wild that Tesla's market cap is 6x Toyota's, but that volatility makes it pretty easy to buy low and sell high, so more people buy in.
Unless the price is going to 0, more volatility is just a benefit to Elon.

NYTimes, why use the meaningless phrase "defying legal limits" when you could use something clear like "illegal" or "unconstitutional" or "inconsistent with the law"?
Why not just state the reported facts clearly? The truth is an absolute defense, and we'll need it desperately going forward.

It's the extra stuff in URLs before & after the actual URL. For example, if you copy a link from Google results, it will look like this. I put brackets around the URL for the actual resource and the rest of the stuff is just junk to help Google track info on who uses the link, device metadata, etc.

It's never resolved that Bateman actually killed people. The alternate interpretation was that Bateman's insecurity about lacking identity drove dissociation from reality and violent fantasies against the world that wouldn't recognize and laud him.
Either way, maga hat celebrates Bateman.

Biden wasn't even YOLO-ing, the statutory text clearly grants POTUS authority to waive or modify student loans. That case shouldn't have even made it to the Supreme Court it was so unambiguously clear that the HEROES act granted and was intended to grant the power to make such a decision.

Perhaps. I could understand people leaving a Troy & Abed blanket for city up for 24 years.
It would make so much more sense than millions of people letting this mass murderer bake and starve Latinos for 24 years.

Yeah, after an extremely costly civil war that killed 2% of the entire population, the United States even passed an amendment to keep anti-American thugs from getting access to the levers of power.
Trump recognized that law is just a way to sanitize raw, unaccountable use of power.
