Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

Sir Ken Robinson, the educator, shared a story once.
A kid was busy drawing, really serious.
The teacher said, 'What are you drawing?'
Kid said, "God."
The teacher laughed and said, "Nobody knows what God looks like."
Kid said, "They will in a minute."

I reflect on this often.

A pro-Russia content aggregation network is churning out at least 3 MILLION pieces of propaganda per year, all on sites that are virtually unusable by humans.

So what's the goal? We explore the idea that it might be to flood LLMs with pro-Russia content:

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.

First, the First Amendment protects advocating the moral and practical necessity of breaking the law in the abstract.

Being a lawyer and all, do you know what the tipping point is for it to become acceptable to openly advocate for political assassinations? Just a little curious, is all.

Roman concrete's 2,000-year durability secret finally decoded
The exceptional strength comes from 'hot mixing' quicklime directly with volcanic ash at high temperatures. This creates distinctive lime clasts that grant remarkable self-healing properties. buff.ly/3EQOcxi

Utiliser Gmail ou Google Drive dans un cadre professionnel est pour un avocat une faute professionnelle et déontologie.
Google retire sa promesse de ne pas intégrer ses produits et services dans des programmes développant de l'IA à des fins militaires ou de surveillance. Motif invoqué : le devoir de "soutenir la sécurité nationale".
