19·3 days agoIt’s also reported that Trump’s people are working on suspending habeas corpus. This would remove your right to challenge your arbitrary imprisonment in court. So they will be able to disappear anyone, forever, with no reason and no legal recourse. Effectively Trump will then be an absolute dictator.
Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/ ⓘ; from Medieval Latin, lit. ‘you should have the body’) is a legal procedure by which a report can be made to a court alleging the unlawful detention or imprisonment of an individual, and requesting that the court order the individual’s custodian (usually a prison official) to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether their detention is lawful. Relief, when available, is generally governed by equitable principles.
Hmm, they’ve made lists of autistic people, trans people and poor people. These fascists sure do love lists - can’t imagine why.
Yes, I wasn’t sure, but it doesn’t quite come across right.
Guess they were afraid of themselves.
That seems to drive a whole lot of right-wing attitudes. “Everyone is like me, therefore everyone is scary and dangerous.” But without the self-awareness.
Yeah, they never really meant that stuff. They think some people don’t deserve a life.
29·4 days agoThey’re easy to win. All you do is, whatever happens, say you won.
Not so keen on your use of “other” here.
2·5 days agoThe new Pebble watches look interesting. Relatively basic, but long battery life (they promise) and open-source operating system.
I hope to be co-Pope to help the Pope cope.
The Liberty Hotel initially defended the guard’s actions in a now-retracted statement, claiming “several guests alerted security about two adults occupying a single bathroom stall” and asserting that a physical altercation occurred. Baker and Victor denied those claims outright.
“If that’s what he thought the issue was once he opened the stall door, obviously there was only one person in there, so it should’ve been case closed,” Victor said. “Let her tie up her shorts and go about her day.”
So the guard actually opened the stall door while she was still using the toilet, found a woman in there, and then stuck around to demand ID to prove she was a woman? What a weird thing to do.
There are also public restrooms.
Doctors cost money and the money goes to doctors. LLMs cost less and the money goes to billionaire fascist techbros. The fact that they’re not fit for purpose is insignificant compared to the potential for techbro enrichment.
Also, doctors have an annoying habit of helping people to live regardless of whether techbro eugenics says they deserve to.
Imagine lacking the curiosity to want to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn interesting new things with all the resources at your fingertips. I think the root of the problem is that capitalist society sends students the message that learning is valuable only as a means to make more money. If that’s your view then it makes sense to skip the difficult stuff and just pay for the piece of paper that gives you access to better-paying jobs. Capitalism absolutely doesn’t value having a wiser and more knowledgeable populace, and students pick up on this.
Source for that? All the accounts I’ve read say that RFK was walking down a corridor after giving a speech at a podium, when he was shot several times by a guy who was angry about RFK’s support of Israel. Doesn’t sound like his son was present or the shooter had anything to do with RFK’s protection detail.
It’s the Google way. They frequently shut down even good and popular products of their own when they don’t align with some obscure corporate plan. The lesson is that you should never depend on a Google product or service.
Ah yes, I misread. Thanks for the correction.
The attack – quickly concluded to be caused by a drone flying below at a level where it could not be detected by radar – punctured a 15-sq-metre hole in the outer roof. It also caused a particularly damaging, complex smouldering fire to the inner cladding of the structure that took over a fortnight to put out.
When you know that the little hole is 15 metres across,I’m an idiot, but it gives a sense of how huge that structure is.
I found Google Assistant on the Sense useful for reminders. That was about all I used it for, and it was a bit annoying that Google took it away. It’s odd that these Google-made smartwatches now only support Amazon’s voice assistant.
And it’s promoted by business people with the exact same skill set who have been rewarded for it. I would argue though that there’s nothing wrong with what LLMs are doing: they’re doing what they were trained to do. The con is in how the confidently unreliable techbros sell it to us as a source of knowledge and understanding akin to a search engine, when it’s nothing of the sort.
