Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

Even by Dublin standards, this is an absolute unit of a seagull. Proof that a solid diet of chips and spice bags is good for you.

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.
Here's the video of it running.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

![The Saskatoon freezing killings involved Indigenous Canadians in and immediately outside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in the 1990s and early 2000s, and are alleged to be linked to actions by the members of the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS). Police officers would arrest Indigenous people, who were usually male, for alleged drunkenness and/or disorderly behaviour, sometimes without cause.[2] The officers would then drive them to the outskirts of the city at night during winter and abandon them, leaving them stranded in sub-zero temperatures.[3]
The practice is known as taking Indigenous people on "starlight tours"[4] and dates back to at least 1976.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vuiiafki2ub6qm7bcglmambd/bafkreiddqgrbccyuwgnnjgt5ddyb2hl7dr5hpfr2ptnl7tne2m27nhl4yq@jpeg)

One of my favorite tariff charts
Normally high prices are a sign of strong demand & induce manufacturing investment
Tariffs instead give you higher prices & lower investment—the worst of both worlds—because they're a tax on capital goods & supply chains

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.
