Finalists’ designs for Rekia Boyd monument in Douglass Park unveiled
Killed by an off-duty police officer in 2012, Boyd’s death became a rallying cry for the #SayHerName movement. Wednesday's unveiling came on what would have been Boyd's 36th birthday.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

If you can understand that this "ai"

It is quite remarkable this thing is a Dunning-Kruger machine, it makes you worse at something *exactly as much* as you think you're getting better at it
…and didn’t give a shit?
There’s been at least one study I’m aware of that tested experienced developers and their use of AI. They estimated their productivity had improved by 20%
When actually tested? It lowered their productivity by 20%.

I like the problem solving involved in crafting sentences and paragraphs. Why would I let an algorithm do that for me
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

If "ending the war" was the only objective then BDS wouldn't have existed for decades. Israeli apartheid is still in full force. Gaza is in ruins. The IDF continues to shoot and bomb innocents.

So you didn't need the LLM and could validate the output only after months of your careful work. That's evidence it's useless and that your work is valuable.
We spent months doing a careful lit review with help from a librarian, PubMed, and Google Scholar. After we had completed the work and whittled the 7K+ citations down to only 7 that met our criteria, I asked Claude the question we were trying to answer. It found 6 of the 7 and wrote a great report.

Honestly as someone still representing those kids, it's depressing how everyone forgot about them. I say this a lot, but the lesson from those protests from the American left writ large was "if you protest and get arrested, you're on your own."
I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us?

Keir Starmer set to announce UK recognition of Palestine later today - UK politics live
Announcement from prime minister expected this afternoon despite Israeli opposition
The Guardian’s diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, has done a useful explainer with a section looking at what recognising Palestine would look like in practice. Here is an extract:
Recognition is largely symbolic. When the UK’s position was announced the then foreign secretary, David Lammy, said: “It will not change the position on the ground.”
But it allows the UK to enter treaties with Palestine and would mean that the Palestine head of mission becomes a fully recognised ambassador. Continue reading...
