How can journalists use AI ethically? For Tomas, it’s all about running the tools locally and verifying the findings.

A Post-Google World - BIG by Matt Stoller
And what does Judge Brinkema think? So far, Brinkema, while ruling against the DOJ on their request for a jury trial, has been strongly skeptical of Google’s arguments and its team. She denied Google’s motion to dismiss for all five monopolization claims, saying “there are enough specific allegations, including various quotes from people within Google, you know, referring to some competitors as presenting existential threats,” that the case should go to trial.

Courtesy of a recent #Python thread, I found myself with this line of thought:
- that's what you get when choosing to program in a dynamically typed language.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for Python existing and having the Tk GUI library tacked onto it - hence I'm using it for Foldatry, a tool I now use every day.
But I did soon twig, that any reliability of my program would be up to me, and that neither the language nor its interpreter would take on that role.
While that's a glib remark, taking it to heart means doing two things:
- being utterly perfect about each variable's execution tour inside your conceptual block of code;
- gatekeeping the types as they either go into or, enter a code concept block.
Doing anything else is a matter of relying on knowing all the possible ways that dynamic typing will handle values in your variables.
Ditto about the Python maintainers not changing their minds across versions.
Good luck with that!

There was an update of Wine on apt today. And it's amazing. I have some old windows95 programs that I run with Wine and always had some problem deciphering owing to my screen hi-res; had to use a screen-magnifying lens to use them. After today's Wine update, they scale like all other programs! Fantastic, well-done Wine team!
If you had my same problem with screen scaling for some old Windows programs, just update Wine!
Reminder for youngsters: Dick Cheney was the puppeteer behind the George W. Bush administration, the war on terror, the Iraq invasion, stomping all over civil rights at home, etc.
Basically he's the Darth Vader of American right-wing politics—but that was 20 years ago.
Trump is too grotesque for *this* guy to vote for.
