Why is my Pepco bill so high? We dug into DC's electricity The cold weather is only part of the story.

NEW: When cold weather arrives, most people expect to see a bump in their utilities.

But recently, many D.C. residents have been shocked to see their electricity bills had double and even triple — in some cases, climbing $1,000+ in a single month.

What's going on? @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:

Bluesky: where being chronically online means you're somehow more involved in local bike lane planning and know way too much about business owners who are weird towards city officials.

I keep getting exposed to more and more people in tech who take WAY longer trying to prompt for answers when all they need to do is RTFM!!! 😠

...so is it pronounced "Morg" or "Morge"?

We are hiring! HRF is looking for a Design Director to lead bold visual campaigns, publications, and global events — including the @oslofreedomforum.com — that amplify the struggle for human rights worldwide.

Got a package today that was obviously a book. But I put a temporary, probably not gonna hold moratorium on book purchases, due to my ever increasing backlog.

Turns out I won a copy of "All About Allergies" by @rubinallergy.bsky.social!!

I'm hooked already! But switched over to my weekly hit of The Pitt.

spongebob says well good luck with that in a cartoon Alt: spongebob standing with a confused look and then abruptly changes his demeanor to happily say "well good luck with that." Then raises his hand and says "see ya!" Before walking away.

Them: we can deploy AI that will scale our mission and people will pay us so much money it will replace other parts of our revenue pipeline!

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

That was a great halftime show! The political commentary was subtle, yet loud and spoke of the experience being Latino in the US. And the JOY of it all was amazing to watch. Benito did us all proud!

About the PhD: Audits and evaluation of AI systems — and the broader context that AI systems operate in — have become central to conceptualising, quantifying, measuring and understanding the operations, failures, limitations, underlying assumptions, and downstream societal implications of AI systems. Existing AI audit and evaluation efforts are fractured, done in a siloed and ad-hoc manner, and with little deliberation and reflection around conceptual rigour and methodological validity. This PhD is for a candidate that is passionate about exploring what a conceptually cogent, methodologically sound, and well-founded AI evaluation and safety research might look like. This requires grappling with questions such as: What does it mean to represent “ground truth” in proxies, synthetic data, or computational simulation? How do we reliably measure abstract and complex phenomena? What are the epistemological or methodological implications of quantification and measurement approaches we choose to employ? Particularly, what underlying presuppositions, values, or perspectives do they entail? How do we ensure the lived experiences of impacted communities play a critical role in the development and justification of measurement metrics and proxies? Through exploration of these questions, the candidate is expected to engage with core concepts in the philosophy of science, history of science, Black feminist epistemologies, and similar schools of thought to develop an in-depth understanding of existing practices with the aim of applying it to advance shared standards and best practice in AI evaluation. The candidate is expected to integrate empirical (for example, through analysis or evaluation of existing benchmarks) or practical (for example, by executing evaluation of AI systems) components into the overall work.

are you displeased with today’s AI safety evaluation landscape and curious about what greater conceptual clarity, methodological soundness, and rigour in AI evaluation could look like? if so, consider coming to Dublin to pursue a PhD with me

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

AI is great for scientists. Perhaps it's not so great for science Large language models may start to genre-fy scientific research

During the winter we have a dedicated room with an old school outdoor clothesline, a huge yellow heat lamp, and fans to help move the humidity evenly around the house.

There the walls are painted with the Bliss Wallpaper, complete with desktop icons, and a stuffed clippy in the corner
