The attached screen grab should make everybody who programs AI systems pay attention. As programmers, we should never forget that so-called AI is just numbers and probabilities.

Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.

Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Today @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social succeeded in establishing new powers to cancel Centrelink payments before conviction.

Thanks @senatorthorpe.bsky.social @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social @davidpocock.bsky.social @pennyallmanpayne.com for trying to stop this dangerous law.

Shame Labor shame: New powers to cancel Centrelink payments before conviction pass the senate

Welfare recipients have a right to be treated equally under the law, and should not be subject to punishment before having access to legal advice for any reason, ever.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement:
"When / was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. / upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since / retired - which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
"In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
"Secretary Hegseth's tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President's posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

What tf are Labor doing

Jeremy Poxon @jeremypoxon.bsky.social · 6d

New: 100+ legal experts, welfare groups & academics demand the Minister bin an amendment, allowing police to cancel welfare payments for people who have not been found guilty of any crime

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social is trying to ram this amendment through today

Read more: archive.is/UHu9J

"Labor’s plan to cancel the welfare benefits of people accused of serious violence or sexual offences has come under fire by more than 100 academic and legal experts.
“This represents a dangerous departure from fundamental legal principles that underpin Australia’s social security and criminal justice systems,” the 116 signatories wrote in the letter to be tabled by independent Senator Lidia Thorpe in parliament on Monday.
The so-called Schedule 5 amendment was quietly tacked onto an unrelated bill previously introduced by Social Services Tanya Plibersek in late October with no announcement or prior notice by the government."

The Verge: Screw it, I’m installing Linux

https://www.theverge.com/tech/823337/switching-linux-gaming-desktop-cachyos

#win11 #linux

To be clear, my desktop works fine on Windows 11. But the general ratio of cool new features to egregious bullshit is low. I do not want to talk to my computer. I do not want to use OneDrive. I’m sure as hell not going to use Recall. I am tired of Windows trying to get me to use Edge, Edge trying to get me to use Bing, and everything trying to get me to use Copilot. I paid for an Office 365 subscription so I could edit Excel files. Then Office 365 turned into Copilot 365, and I tried to use it to open a Word document and it didn’t know how.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10, including security updates, forcing people to buy new hardware or live with the risks.

Anna Bower exchange with Lindsey Halligan.

Anna: as reported by the NY Times. James's ethics disclosures report between $1,000- $5,000 in rent back in 2020. But after that, she didn't disclose additional rental income. I'm still not sure I understand what's incorrect about the NY Times account or my summary of it.

Halligan: Anna, You're biased. Your reporting isn't accurate. I'm the one handling the case and I'm telling you that. If you want to twist and torture the facts to fit your narrative, there's nothing I can do. Waste to even
give you a heads up.

Anna: You've approached me in saying that I've compounded or repeated something inaccurate in the New York Times's account of Nakia's testimony. I am happy to correct it, but I can't do so without a sense of what I supposedly got wrong. I'm sorry.

Halligan: Continue to do what you have been and you'll be completely discredited when the evidence comes out.

Anna: Ok, thank you. I'd love to talk further when
you are more at liberty to be specific.
