... and that the lower court's findings of such was "clearly erroneous."
For anyone to use that as proof of gov't-involved speech suppression is either stupid or dishonest.

This keeps happening. In yesterday's announcement about the State Dept pulling visas, a State Dept spokesperson claimed that they were stopping "Murthy-style speech suppression" leaving out that Amy Coney Barrett's ruling said there was no evidence of any such speech suppression...
I have the “In Covid’s Wake” PDF and this section floored me. Here is some of the surrounding content — and citations. The professors cited laundered Twitter Files claims in their discussion of the Murthy v Missouri case — they stuck the *outcome of the case* in a footnote while centering the lies.

Wondering if the Trump drone ban affects the war in Ukraine. Is this going to drop prices / increase supply and is one side or the other going to benefit

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

In a world where people buy Dan Brown novels (and this is that world to an extent I find incredible), I don't think human creators can be on some high horse against slop. We have been awash in human-generated slop for a long time.

Colouring in is one of the biggest scams going and I knew it as a child and it absolutely blows me away how much support it is getting on here. A time consuming chore turning paper and pens in to garbage that will be binned in a day or two.

A nice clear idea, probably has some legs.
In general, AI adoption levels are a measurement of to what extent a particular reward system (a corporation, a market, academia as a whole system) has ceased to distinguish between doing a thing and pretending to do a thing
One of many things the pro-AI crowd doesn't seem to understand is the very important distinction between academic scholarship and the production of papers. Of course they can be related but they're not necessarily the same thing

As someone who never once enjoyed colouring (or practicing my piano, playing soccer, any of the busywork of childhood) the people who enjoyed it might as well be another species. I acknowledge it's almost everyone else and they're doing great. It's like being colourblind or something.
This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!
This is just sad.

great new hypermedia-friendly feature in Django!
You can also access and render partial templates directly! This can be done using the syntax `template.html#partial_name`.
This works particularly nicely with front end libraries like HTMX that often need to re-render a specific part of a page in isolation.

The Trump administration gutting so much fundamental research is going to set the U.S. back so much in ways that will shock historians in the future.
The current deliberate tanking of the economy will seem mild in comparison.

I was about to write a post about how China is increasingly surpassing the U.S. technologically and our only leading edge at this point is AI which is mostly led by immigrant Chinese researchers which is itself telling.
However this topic feels even more uncomfortable to discuss than AI.

The ProPublica mission can only be harmed by AI authority / authorship. I could be persuaded on computational analytic work on e.g. helping an analyst draw things out of the Panama Papers or the full Epstein or trading patterns but I'd still want a human master of the subject matter as author.
1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

I saw the 'maybe biting a zombie turns them back' but I think the thing I would try is giving them communion. They need the restoring life in the body of Christ and the brain they want is what St Paul says Christians obtain by the Holy Spirit: the mind of Christ.

My son goes to a school for slightly irregular children and they scrupulously refer to the students in a group as "young people" and individually as "a young person" and maybe it's just novelty but saying "kids" or "teenagers" now feels slur-adjacent: diminishing, covering-up words.
