Earlier this week, agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security surrounded and raided an apartment building in Chicago, pulling men, women and children from their beds in the middle of the night. They then posted a "highlight reel" on social media. For his Doomsday Scenario newsletter, Garrett Graff writes about these "Kavanaugh Raids" and their connection to the Palmer Raids, a century ago.
Y'all, I've just made a #python coding breakthrough! The intermediate state between "True" and "False" is not, apparently "Frue". It took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn this. #amcoding
@Bredroll I was going through the code, changing some indices and turning some things off. Apparently changing 2 to 3 and True to Frue is only partly successful.

Battle-Hardened Russian Bear is No ‘Paper Tiger’: Here’s Why sputnikglobe.com/20251003/batt… President Putin has responded to Donald Trump’s claim that Russia is a “paper tiger,” saying “this paper tiger” is successfully fighting “the entire NATO bloc” in Ukraine.

I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.
France reaffirmed on Friday that it is in contact with its 36 nationals detained by Israel following the attack on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud aid flotilla.

A top national security prosecutor in a key federal office was fired after a pro-Trump writer, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, linked him to internal pushback over the indictment of fmr #FBI Dir #JamesComey last week.
Michael Ben’Ary, a veteran prosecutor who was serving as chief of the national security unit for the #USAttorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, was fired on Wednesday…
A top national security prosecutor was fired after a pro-Trump writer, without evidence, linked him to internal pushback over the James Comey indictment.
The firing came hours after Julie Kelly, a *writer* who advocated for #Jan6 defendants & is deeply connected to the #Trump admin, had posted that the public “can only assume” that Ben-Ary “was a big part of the internal resistance” to indicting Comey.
…Asked about the post & Ben’Ary’s firing, the White House referred comment to #DOJ. A DOJ spox declined to comment on the reason for the firing; saying the department does not comment on personnel matters 😜.
Contrary to Kelly’s assertion, 3 sources say Ben’Ary did not work on the Comey case.…
The decision to indict #JamesComey has been heavily criticized by #legal #experts & former #DOJ employees, as well as a group of former state & federal #judges.
Ben’Ary’s dismissal followed the firing last week of Maya Song, another DOJ prosecutor who worked in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Both Ben’Ary & Song previously worked under former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who oversaw the early stages of the federal investigations into #Trump. Trump posted on his social media website last week that Monaco’s current employer, Microsoft, should “immediately terminate” her, calling Monaco “corrupt & total Trump deranged” & a “menace to US national security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has” with the government.
