In March, ICE announced that it had arrested 48 people in New Mexico. Why is nothing known about who was arrested or their whereabouts?

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Great thread on OpenAI constantly needing to throw $$$ and resources at achieving AGI instead of utilizing 🧠 power

Just don't ask for time off from work about it or anything. That'd be not ok.

Splice is awesome for making Serum a financed app. I've been able to experiment all I want without dropping almost $200 on a software synth immediately.
