Tomasz Kosowski may have made a good point in his cross-examination. He wanted to take the gorilla cart and ask for a volunteer who is approx. 195 lbs to get in the cart and then lift the cart with the person onto the desk in the courtroom. Prosecutor objects. Tomasz says the theory is he took a 195 lb man in a cart and somehow lifted it into the back of the truck. He points to the witness: "He's telling you I committed murder." Then he points to the prosecutor: "And he's trying to kill me for it." He says the state's theory is that he lifted a 195lb man and a cart into the back of a pickup truck by himself.
“Look, we know all of the things that work really well. We don’t have to do them a lot, but we might have to do them at least a little bit or parents will eventually somehow choose the things that work.”
Ohhhhhh that seems like an important distinction.
If we’re going to “pay teachers what they’re worth” some may be worth millions/yr!
Some may be worth less than they’re currently being paid.
And that’s before we even talk about the administrators…
Good news: I shot the best golf round of my life and broke 85 for the first time.
Bad news: I immediately followed it up with the worst round of my life. Couldn’t hit a shot to save my life.
Terrible news: I have no idea why.
Jon Stewart on the Supreme Court: “They have single-handedly made it impossible for us to reform and save our democracy. The way they have made it that corporations are people and money is speech. There has to be a process of amending the Constitution. This idea that Citizens United stands as the law of the land is the biggest bunch of shit. The Constitution is in a suicide pact and money in elections is killing this country”
@tszzl Just moved my daughter to Alpha School. Personalized AI-driven academics delivered in 2 hours per day, leaving the rest of the afternoon for life skills. We’re a few weeks in and she’s already a different kid.
Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.
🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for.
That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations.
So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."
> Congress must work at an urgent pace to pass new laws and establish a new federal entity to provide oversight and independent testing for this technology, to ensure accountability, and to protect our wellbeing.
No.
Every single college professor you talk to will say the same thing.
More remedial students, coming in knowing less, struggling with very basic skills, with flawless GPAs and pristine college-ready extracurricular activities.
Everyone looks perfect on paper and it’s fake.
iPhone Duo is vindication for the no case people.
You put a case on it and you cover up one of the screens?
These things were never meant to have cases.
Holy shit. Anthropic caught Iran using Claude to target Navy bases, automate dossiers on Americans, and run influence campaigns on US social media. Details are insane. The morons uploaded everything including the organization plans of the Ayatollah's funderal lmao
