@altfda.altgov.info has a great thread on how production decisions increased the risk of tainted infant formula.
A good illustration of the need for both robust regulation and oversight (FDA). Parents can’t inspect facilities. The government should.

NPR dropped this story today and you may be asking yourself, how the fuck did everything they produced end up potentially contaminated? Let’s talk about it🧵🧵🧵

It seems most of the country was suffering from collective amnesia of Trump’s first term in February.
So much for those fantasies of $5,000 DOGE dividend checks.

I know the difference between when to use "less" or "fewer", but I don't always get it right when I'm not thinking about it. I often use "fewer" less times than it deserves.

American Exceptionalism isn't even recognizing exceptional talent, it's choosing to make important the things we have a natural advantage in, such as sports we invented. You look where we're less competitive on the international stage, and suddenly those sports are unimportant to Americans.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
