Trump administration no longer has enough lawyers left to do its dirty work.
Whoever hasn’t been purged for not being loyal enough or exited ahead of the purges has been asked to clean up a mess with extremely limited amounts of resources and manpower.
To make things worse, Trump’s handpicked prosecutors keep being kicked out of court because Trump bypassed the appointment process essential to them remaining employed.
Then there’s the self-inflicted reputational damage Trump’s DOJ has done.
The government, for the most part, is no longer granted the presumption of good faith.
Courts across the land are not only aware this government isn’t acting in good faith, but they’rerefusing to pretend it is,
no matter how much copy-pasted boilerplate appears in DOJ filings.
Hundreds of adverse rulings have already been handed down.
Hundreds more are on the horizon,
especially now that the DOJ has admitted pretty much every arrest that took place in an immigration court was illegal.
It all adds up to the long tail of “flooding the zone.”
If you can’t bail water fast enough, you’re going to drown.
Here’s how this is working out for the DOJ now

Recordatorio de que podéis configurar vuestra cuenta de Mastodon para que autoelimine vuestros mensajes pasado un tiempo, a fin de que vuestras instancias recuperen espacio (las fotos y sobretodo los videos ocupan mucho). Podéis poner un mes, dos, tres, y ciertos mensajes conservarlos. No es obligatorio, por supuesto, pero nos ayudáis a no tener que contratar más alojamiento al cabo de un tiempo (no es mi caso todavia).

Given that Jesus was a radical anticapitalist, modern-day Western Christians would probably crucify him again if they could

zoom, ms teams, google meet all let you join calls directly from your browser. you should never need to install anything, except maybe a chromium browser if you don't already have one.
i realize this may not be common knowledge.

@stevebenen Classic Stalin. Worked great to shift the prime requirement for all the top military leadership to be loyalty instead of competence until the Germans showed up, likely encouraged by those moves.
La destitución del militar responsable del ejército de tierra estadounidense apesta a que no estaba de acuerdo con que invadir Irán por tierra sea una buena idea.
Lo que implica que Trump y los suyos van a invadir por tierra llueva o truene. Y rapidito.

El mecanismo de control óptimo para un microondas son dos ruedas: una para la potencia y otra para el tiempo. Todo lo demás son complicaciones innecesarias.
Ha salido un estudio entre estudiantes de secundaria sobre qué método utilizan preferentemente para hacer cálculo mental, si el procedural (es decir, el algoritmo que te enseñan en clase; por ejemplo, para sumar 25+38, pones en dos filas, empiezas por sumar unidades...) o alternativas que te sacas de la manga según el caso para no tener que hacerlo proceduralmente y acabar antes (por ejemplo, si quito 2 del 25, y se lo sumo a 38, tengo 40, más 23, 73).
Resulta que hay un fortísimo sesgo de género: el método procedural lo usan el 18% de los chicos y el 52% de las chicas.
Otro estudio con adultos da resultados similares.
El tema es que usar el método procedural es una idea terrible, porque no ejercitas tu capacidad de resolver problemas, y es menos eficiente.
Según el estudio, la gente que tiene un mayor deseo de complacer a sus profesores tiende a usar el método procedural, lo que podría ser la causa de que las chicas tiendan a tener mejores notas en matemáticas al principio, pero más adelante tiendan a quedarse atrás en cuanto ya no basta con aplicar un algoritmo como si fueras un robot y tienen que resolver problemas de verdad.
Lo que refuerza la importancia de explicar a las niñas que aprender no es dejarse programar, y que deben pensar por sí mismas.
Por este y por muchos otros motivos.

I'm still thinking about the "AGI on top of LLMs" talk I saw on Monday, especially after the Claude leak.
The speaker was describing LLMs as "trying to predict the next word on the Internet", and claimed as fact that as LLMs got better, "in order for them predict that next word, they have to understand the universe".
He was talking to a room full of physicists and was clearly trying to mirror the famous Carl Sagan quote, but it just came off to me as completely unhinged

The guidance computers on the Apollo lunar missions had just 2K of RAM memory and were the first digital computers to use integrated circuits. They also had the advantage of not being able to run Microsoft products. #Artemis2 #microslop

My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.
I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.
When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.
It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.
The settings are configurable via a link too.
This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.

The main thing I learned from the Claude Code leak is that they plan to go out of business before anyone has to maintain it
