Holy mackerel. Joe Thompson quit.

"Three Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and its reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

"Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision."

I'm old enough to remember when we introduced "Homeland" into our national vocabulary. I thought it was weird and creepy then, and I think it's weird and creepy now.

오늘 사망 소식이 전해진 딜버트 시리즈 만화가 스콧 아담스. 현대의 조직사회에 대한 통렬한 통찰을 날리던 시절을 지나, 점차 냉소와 회의에 맛들이며, 자유지상주의에 빠지며, 음모론을 빨아먹고, 반과학과 인종주의에 심취하는 '인플루언서'가 되다가, 트럼프를 예찬하고 트럼프의 예찬이나 받던 사회악스러운 말년. 오늘날 미디어 환경 속에서 벌어지는 지적 파산 과정의 어떤 전형성을 보여준 비극적 인생.

On the one hand, I fully understand why Apple is finally going Adobe and doing a subscription for the creative apps. On the other hand, I don't know if I can see this as having enough value for me to want to pay $130 a year when I use these apps almost entirely on the Mac.

example, to get various statistics related to virtual memory usage, process
scheduling, device interrupts, system name translation caching, and disk I/O,
enter the following:

systat -vmstat

Other values are icmp, icmp6, ifstat, iostat, ip, ip6, netstat, pigs, sctp,

From my perspective, the ATProto social graph would be more useful as a "find your friends" across apps, not necessarily auto-follow. Rather than sending all your contacts to every app, you can choose which of your apps to "recommend" follows from.

Huang isn’t alone among tech executives complaining about AI criticism. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently griped that discussions around AI need to move past the concept of “slop” low-quality AI-generated content flooding the internet.

This message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

oh wow @sruthi joined the fediverse! if your not familiar with her work you haven't been listening to enough podcasts...

I remember when Scott Adams used a Black character in one of his strips - the first and only one that has ever appeared in any of his strips - just to deliver the line "I identify as white."

Because most newspapers didn't run the full-color version, the character in those papers who ran it ended up looking like a white person identifying as white.

Don't forget, LLMs are an attempt to rent-seek on things that are just basic cognitive abilities, providing you keep using those abilities.

Even ignoring all the other ethical problems with it (and you really shouldn't), do you really want to offload things like "writing", "reading", "drawing", etc, to the same kind of companies that have brought you great innovations like surveillance capitalism and the gig economy?
