TIL about the Vivek ad debacle. Holy fuck.
@wjmaggos Hard to believe, some of the things that happen in #uspol.
And Pres. Trump is jumping in:

🚨 PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT
The location for Hacker Beach in January 2027 is now official: we're going to gather on the southern coast of Sri Lanka!
Detailed announcement and more precise location following soon. However, you can already book your flights to CMB:

From there, you can take the train, or a little Cessna water plane for the final leg.
By the way, this part of the eMudhra story doesn't get the attention it deserves: Google hired Daniel Bleichenbacher, he wrote a tool to identify insecure cryptographic artifacts, and Google did not use it regularly to check certificates and intermediates trusted by Chrome's root store.
@CatherineFlick Casey has never been good. Remembering him shilling crypto undisclosed back in the day https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2023/02/28/news-blockchain-mep-eva-kaili-corruption-arrest-nigerian-cbdc-rewrite-bbc-blockchain-misadventures/#Printhead
@davidgerard yeah, I do remember. That was where I started to realise he’d swallowed the hype. It’s very frustrating he’s painting himself as this neutral bystander when he’s anything but.

People who produce large documents with LLMs seem to frequently be under the impression that the recipient would like to receive a large document
They are pretty much always wrong

technofascism
Drop-In Time is a time where I hang out in a room at the library with a big table and a lot of chairs and help people with their technology problems for two and a half hours. These are their stories. It was cold today so I was warming up some water for tea and by the time I got upstairs at three past the hour there were four people waiting for me. Whoops!
Bob and Kathy had a Medicare prescription drug plan that wasn't going to be around next year so they needed help finding a new one.

I suggest you go read more about the Mathematical domain called Games Theory if you think casting one vote amongst millions once every 4 years in a Voting System Mathematically designed so that not all votes count the same, with the only information before casting the vote being what the people who can benefit from your choice say they will do (with no mechanism to enforce their promises), is anywhere near the same as an individual direct choice with guaranteed results between two actions whose possible outcomes the one making the choice knows upfront with absolute certainty.
There should be a special Falacy for pulling out the Trolley Problem for situations where it’s Mathematically not applicable.

Which is why it’s a bad analogy to apply to real world situations. It only helps trap people into thinking the problem is unsolvable because that’s the way the system works, when in reality if the system is making you choose between things like genocide abroad or fascism at home, you should just change the system.
Suomenkieliseen Wikipediaan kaivataan edelleen kipeästi ei-miehiä!
Naisista ja ei-miehistä kertovia artikkeleita on surkeat 21%, mutta lisäksi niihin sovelletaan käytännössä aivan eri merkittävyyssäännöstöä kuin miehistä tai urheilijoista kertoviin artikkeleihin. Myös naiserityisiin aiheisiin, seksuaalisuutta, sukupuolta ja feminismiä käsitteleviin aiheisiin jne kohdistetaan aivan erilainen tarkastelu, koska useat wikipedantit ei yksinkertaisesti ymmärrä niitä. Tarvitaan moninaisia kirjottajia!
"One can safely assume that if kompromat were being collected by them, Epstein and Maxwell would need a powerful closed private communications network for the transmission of such materials to whomever they worked for who needed powerful men blackmailed for them.
So, who were Epstein and Maxwell working for? That’s still a subject of debate and speculation. While there seems to be a concerted effort by certain “independent” journalists, such as Zev Shalev, to point the finger at Russia as the likely recipient of such blackmail materials from Epstein and Maxwell, this appears to possibly be deliberate misdirection, likely paid for by what The Pugilist considers to be the most likely true power behind the operation: Israel.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was an Israeli spy, as documented in the book Robert Maxwell, Israel’s Superspy by Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon. Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence operative and the author of the book Profits of War: Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network, has said he was tasked with “running” Epstein, and was the man to introduce him to the Maxwells. Perhaps most damning of all is that the voting, legislative and financial records of those men in Epstein’s potential blackmail orbit always ended up shifting after their association with him, to become strongly supportive, in one way or another, of the goals of the Zionist Israeli government. In New Mexico, those goals appear to have been connected to a task begun by Robert Maxwell in the 1980s, when he infiltrated the state’s nuclear weapons labs with software that had been bugged by Israeli military intelligence.
For many years, Epstein’s operation seemed to run smoothly and without interference out of the U.S. Virgin Islands. But by 2014, something there was making Epstein nervous about keeping the nexus of that massive private communications system at Little St. James.
For a while, he waited it out. Maybe hoping things would not get as bad as they could.
Then something happened, and he, seemingly spooked, stopped waiting. He started demanding. The new system in New Mexico, at Zorro Ranch, had to be built, and quickly.
There’s a reason for that. And the reason is this: As the walls started closing in around Epstein in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Florida and New York City, there was only one place left where he held a vast property, where had complete privacy, and where its leadership had been so easy to blackmail, bribe, or otherwise buy off that Epstein trusted no one in power there would ever betray him.
And that place, dear readers, was New Mexico."
