The Trump administration is allowing construction of a 132-acre radioactive pit mine right on the border of Bear Lodge National Monument.

I’ve mentioned a few times how the AI community is overwhelmingly still using X. This is annoying because I’m fascinated with AI, and I like to know throughout the week what big changes are happening in the industry. I stopped posting to Twitter over a decade ago. And more r...

“Former Vice President Kamala Harris made a recent slate of suggestions to help Democrats win in future presidential elections, including ‘revisit the Electoral College.'” NewsNation reports. Said Harris: “I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular — we need to revisit the Electoral College. We need to revisit the point […]

“Embattled Ohio Rep. Max Miller has released audio he surreptitiously recorded of his ex-wife in a bid to fend off her abuse accusations against him — but it actually lends credence to at least some of her allegations,” the New York Post reports. “The GOPer on Sunday publicly released the recordings in a Dropbox dump, […]

Thanks to everyone who responded to the member survey.  The most reassuring result was how many of you said some version of “keep doing what you’re doing.” That message came through clearly: improve the fundamentals, but don’t clutter the site or turn it into something else.

“President Donald Trump criticized Chevron Corp. Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth for failing to mention his administration’s pro-fossil fuel policies in an interview with Fox Business Network and called on oil companies to bring pump prices ‘DOWN, NOW!,'” Bloomberg reports.

“Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has a clear path to the Senate Judiciary Committee advancing his nomination to the permanent job after two GOP holdouts confirmed Monday they would vote for him,” Politico reports. “The statement from Sens.

Also I just heard about FreshRSS. This has all the features we’ve been wanting others to support. I hear it’s recommended by NNW, and supports the Google Reader API. These are my kind of people. Interop is all that matters, when you’re doing software for news. It’s been around since 2013. Imagine if we had […]

BTW, we figured out how we’re going to implement WebSub support.

Also Claude is a new kind of intelligence and when you it its sweet spot it’ll blow you away how much it can do in very little time. But it isn’t trainable the way a dog is, for example, or a human assistant. If you keep asking for things a certain way, a dog or […]

BTW, we figured out how we're going to implement WebSub support.

Also I just heard about FreshRSS. This has all the features we've been wanting others to support. I hear it's recommended by NNW, and supports the Google Reader API. These are my kind of people. Interop is all that matters, when you're doing software for news. It's been around since 2013. Imagine if we had support from journalism. We should have been working together all this time.

Also Claude is a new kind of intelligence and when you it its sweet spot it'll blow you away how much it can do in very little time. But it isn't trainable the way a dog is, for example, or a human assistant. If you keep asking for things a certain way, a dog or human will get the idea, esp if they get a nice treat along with it. Nothing can cause Claude to remember "how we do things" -- it starts from zero in every session, it has it all recorded in Markdown files, but it doesn't always read them, or incorporate what's in them. It's disturbing to see it not knowing anything about code that it wrote. But once it finds it, it completely sucks it in and knows as much or more as the person who wrote the code.

Not so long ago, if there had been a report issued by Dick Durbin the senior senator from Illinois as a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee detailing the abuse of women and children by a private prison contractor working for ICE — the likes of that which was just released — it would have shocked the conscience of the nation and dominated television news coverage.
