Currently I am unable to work a full time job at regular hours. This has led to me opening for sponsorship in hopes I can continue to focus on my open source work t.co/TomBzsVoYr

This isnt a ban on them buying things we all know they cant afford- its an attack on those in the community who help people who are seeking asylum. If we gift things, this will cause suspicion and investigation.
Hard to get into the heads of the sadists at the Home Office who sat round drawing up a list of "luxuries". Just one more method of humiliating some of the most vulnerable people. No doubt the unemployed will be next.

Fascinating conversation. If you want to know what the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) does and why it’s being fucked up this is a good episode to listen to. I will also recommend the podcast, “System Crash” that @parismarx.com does with @brianmerchant.bsky.social. Both are excellent.

NEW—DHS claims, without citing proof, Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."

Among "activity" Ozturk engaged in was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to heed student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

This is true. Puberty blockers was a compromise between just starting regular HRT at regular puberty ages and the no youth transition ever position.

New work blog post, covering some re-framing about alerting.

Make a distinction between: alarm, anomaly detection, fault identification, and corrective action.

Consider the cost & necessity of validating each, that they can all storm you, and maybe then willingly reduce how many can disrupt you.
Restructuring How We Think About Alerts
Rather than focusing on the events that result in alerts, Fred proposes we look at the system and center it on the operators instead.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
