This is NOT true, SNAP has a bonkers level of continuous surveillance to receive. It’s not like having a burner email or throwaway account.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

Well, time to spend an hour in this vendor slop AI tools see if it holds up at all. Beyond being incredibly annoying from a UX perspective it is a black box of actual trash, and it will still take forever to turn it off.

This is amazing work coming out of the med school at UMN. We used to call this “machine learning” but apparently now everything is “AI”. I wish the terminology remained different to distinguish this sort of life saving work from ChatGPT slop.

Just a note here that the Secretary of Transportation oversees the FAA, an org that has been actively on fire for decades at this point.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Journalists and op-ed writers are almost universally shit. People outside these professions tend to produce more compelling, interesting writers for many reasons.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
