Going theory is that the smart computer boys started from the list of top level domains (so e.g. you have .re for Reunion), not actually independent countries

New York Times reporter Carol Rosenberg, who wrote this story, has been covering Guantanamo longer and more persistently than any other journalist in this country — since she was at The Miami Herald, in fact.

Of course she got the first photos. She’s basically *the* reporter on this beat.
Great. There's a concentration camp for migrants getting built at Guantanamo, and the New York Times got the first pics because the Trump administration flew in the New York Times and posed for these pictures.

Everything is going just great.

Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.

Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

“Don’t look at the fire, look at the wind. If the wind is blowing over you, it means the embers are, too. The fire could be two miles away, but if the wind is toward you, the embers are, too, and act accordingly.”

A couple of follow-ups re: today's California #quakes:
1) There was actually only one significant quake as of 1pm PT--the M7.0 SW of Eureka. The far northern Sonoma County quake was actually ~M4.1 but initially registered higher due to conflicting data. [1/3]
