Stack of blocks labeled, all modern digital infrastructure. A ratchet tipping over the entire stack is labeled AI. A load bearing pillar is labeled unpaid open source development. Another label is AWS, and Cloudflare and Unpaid Open Source Developers.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Yeah, In spanish it is envidia pronounced almost exactly the same as nvidia

Contempt Proceedings in the Original AEA Case Are Back On … For Now WASHINGTON, DC—After months of delays, a federal judge is prepared to swiftly...

In a hearing Wednesday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg signaled that he wants to begin taking testimony from Trump administration officials involved in the mid-March 2025 Alien Enemies Act deportations as soon as the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Trump’s ICE is waiting outside hospital ERs in Charlotte to abduct people in their most desperate hours of need. The cruelty is the point.

NOW: Chief Judge Boasberg is holding a hearing in the Alien Enemies Act, and announces that he does plan on continuing the contempt proceedings.

He believes that will entail having people testify, but is asking the parties for their positions.

“Justice requires me to move promptly on this.”

John Fetterman's Memoir Is As Low-Effort As His Senate Tenure | Defector John Fetterman’s just-released memoir, Unfettered, argues that he’s turned a corner and has everything under control. Fetterman was a “stubborn asshole” (his words), he was clinically depressed, he wa...

A former Fetterman advisor texted me: “I think what comes across is the reality of who he is, which is a petulant child who never became a man and is always the victim of his own narrative—even though he’s never had a real job and lives off his dad’s money. It's all pretty sad and pathetic."

Does Lindsey Halligan merely face permanently losing her law license, or is she looking at criminal charges?

Federal Judge Puts DOJ Back in the Crosshairs Over ‘Alien Enemy’ Deportation Flights D.C. Chief Judge James Boasberg started a Wednesday hearing by saying he would explore whether to make a “contempt referral” against top Trump administration officials.

Remember when the Trump administration ignored a judge's order to return planes deporting 200+ "alien enemies" to El Salvador in March?

In DC court just now, that judge said he'll force DOJ officials to testify. And maybe top Trump admin officials.

this seems like the sort of thing you do to expand an internal revolt already in progress rather than to try to start one

Olberman deserves it too

So arguably the judge can’t dismiss the case because there is, technically, no case!

I agree with you, but UCSD is competitive. at least in my field, physics, they are pretty good. Maybe not in tier of Stanford or Caltech, but just below

good mexican food

…and then lied about it in a “declaration”

She did this because she’s ignorant, inexperienced, and an indictment that said NOT COUNT ONE LOL JUST THE OTHER TWO would be an embarrassment.

This is all stunning, not only should the case be dismissed but I believe there are lawyers involved who should be subject to Bar discipline.

For folks catching up, the reason the second indictment weirdly wasn't in the grand jury transcript, which confused the magistrate judge, is THEY NEVER PRESENTED IT TO THE GRAND JURY.

the reason OpenAI is demanding a bailout is not because if they don't get a bailout, they'll crash the economy. they're demanding a bailout because if they aren't profitable before their runway runs out, they become a division of Microsoft.

Yes. I work for superconducting quantum processing hardware team.

The hardware is way to far from becoming cryptoanalitcally relevant. best case scenario is 20 years, worst case scenario, never

how is it even possible to fuck up this bad

This is so outrageous I would not be surprised if the Bar starts to act today.

I honestly didn't even know this was a mistake you could make. Impressive!

The other side of the coin is if they start disbarring prosecutors for misconduct they won't have any left

I would not be surprised if the judge jails one or more of the lawyers.
