Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.
Itβs disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.
Cuomo is a dumbass. Why would you take or make this phone call?

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data
I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key
I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

I'm curious to hear if anyone has done any long, long, LONG term planning for their digital content. It doesn't seem like there's any way to future proof self-hosted online writing (or maybe any online writing) other than the various online archivers, and even then I guess it's never forever?

Today I tried querying ChatGPT and it diagnosed the problem from the error message and explained it to me in 2 seconds.
Last week I had a Wordpress error that was resulting in How to Japanese not loading when I updated the PHP. Strangely it didn't crash my personal site. Posted around on Reddit, and someone noticed that in one error message I was getting, there was an issue with curly vs straight apostrophes.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

If you do two quick honks right as a light changes from yellow to red, you can run a red light in Japan.
Police don't keep keep us safe. No matter how much money, power, and resources we throw at them, the fact remains that police cannot and will not ever deliver safety.
