Very detailed coverage of xAI's (and by extension Musk's) actions poisoning the air in Memphis.

Even if Tesla *was* about the Environment, these actions make it abundantly clear that was never Musk's goal. He will burn literally everything in his effort to "win."

@mmasnick Incredible final day push Mike. Congrats on hitting the goal.

Does anyone know of any Makerspaces/Hackerspaces in Houston, TX? Asking for a friend.

@molly0xfff The benefits of the Freelance Life. The freedom of doing your "weekend chores" when everyone else is doing their normal work!

@molly0xfff Molly, when I ordered those stickers last night, I really didn't expect you to work on Saturday to ship them out.

@tmstreet @dangillmor I mean, it's absolutely a shooting, and appears to be a legitimate assassination attempt, but shrapnel doesn't make his survival seem nearly as lucky/miraculous, so he lied.

I mean, the fact that I also can't reject the idea that he had a razor blade in his pocket and bladed himself for the sudden photo op is also a reason that something more official should be said.

@cstross And we already, unsurprisingly, have demonstrable cases of this failing users: https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete

@jenniferplusplus Are you talking about git submodules (which no one, not even git developers, can make work), or someone actually committing a git repo inside a git repo (which is such a stupid thing to do that I can't imagine anyone doing it)?

@MLE_online Rye can be fickle. Parts take much longer and others take much less time than wheat breads. A properly hydrated rye dough is also much, much stickier and paste-like than you may be used to.

Have fun! It's delicious, even when things don't go ideally.

@aral @TomSwirly @johnbierce @cstross Not saying it isn't. My work deals primarily with Privacy and Security and enabling users to protect their data *from* Google. The GDPR, in particular, is generally good law.

The Right to be Forgotten is a much more complex issue, especially to the extent to which it allows some people to suppress information about themselves that may be in the Public Interest.

@aral @TomSwirly @johnbierce @cstross The EU's "Right to be Forgotten" could absolutely be used to remove this sort of thing from Search Engines, even without the LLM poisoning that is increasingly prevalent.

@Popehat Ken, how badly does a lower-court judge need to be embarrassed by an appellate court before they simply resign the bench in shame?

@malwaretech My mother, who I am confident is still a reliable GOP voter, has taken to regularly complaining about how Capitalism is ruining society, and I have no idea how to deal with that dissonance.
