I am used to seeing ugly things on trucks in rural Texas, but this is pretty bad. (Not pictured is the truck waiting at the same traffic light with a pic of an AR-15 inside the come and take it cannon).

Helene’s Cat 4 landfall gives the U.S. a record eight Cat 4 or Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane landfalls in the past eight years (2017-2024), seven of them being continental U.S. landfalls. That’s as many Cat 4 and 5 landfalls as occurred in the prior 57 years.

This is the fundamental paradox of AI: if it's actually helping you, there is no way to know when it is no longer helping you.

Put another way: if you can supervise it effectively enough to catch its mistakes, you probably didn't need it in the first place.
Scaling up and shaping up large language models increased their tendency to provide sensible yet incorrect answers at difficulty levels humans cannot supervise, highlighting the need for a shift in AI design towards reliability, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/4eCAnis 🧪

Mark Rutte has started his new job as NATO secretary. Some weeks ago @newstatesman.com asked me to write a piece about him.

While many commentators praise his ideological flexibility as an asset, I discuss this trait far more critically. 👇

Nato’s Mark Rutte era
The Dutch politician’s ideological flexibility could be an asset to the alliance – or undermine it completely.

Cops are first responders. There are still people missing. There are people on roofs, desperately trying to contact loved ones, people without their lifesaving meds or power for life saving machines. And their first responders are protecting bread that’s about to go moldy instead of responding.
Cops guarding a grocery store in North Carolina because payment processing is down… in case you’re wondering what their actual job is- it’s protecting capital- not you

I struggled with the decision over the last few weeks, but I’m devastated to announce that I must cancel giving my Sagan Medal lecture at the AAS Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) meeting next week because the event has not been made accessible to me.

The forgotten one that really gets me is when Trump brought two grieving parents to the White House and wanted to get them in a surprise meeting with the woman who ran over their child, reality tv-style.

The language of death and pain and grief and sickness is the language of human existence. You are not doing anyone any favors by striking it from your vocab. It’s a fundamentally childish approach to thinking about life. Just bc some use those words poorly doesn’t mean they should be forbidden.

ontem a nicki minaj resolveu atacar o jay z no twitter sobre a venda do tidal em 2021 pro jack dorsey.

queriam pagar pra ela 1 milhão de dólares pra ela - que foi uma das cofundadoras - pra ficar quieta sobre o negócio e se ela não aceitasse em 24h, nem isso.
