Pay attention to me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

When 13.6 million Americans lose their Medicaid and can only go to the emergency room because they have no other options to access healthcare, who’s paying for it? The American taxpayer.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Amazon’s workaround has been to use its LLM models as a kind of translator. It interprets what you say, then hands off the request to deterministic systems — APIs, device controllers, or local Matter connections. The unpredictability of LLMs is a poor fit for smart home control, where reliability and repeatability are crucial. I’ve found this works most of the time, but if the LLM translates a request incorrectly or there’s a gap in the API, it appears that handoff can fail. I assume that’s why my bathroom fan sometimes turns on as requested and why Alexa sometimes insists on creating a routine but then forgets to finish the job.

The essential failure of LLMs in the smart home - where natural language processing should shine - is the best evidence that LLMs as a technology simply may not be able to do the things they’re promised

It’s really remarkable how quickly the Spirit Rosh Hashanah storefronts became Spirit Yom Kippur.

“Dr. Rosenbaum, is it your testimony that there must be *trans*cribed RNA in every human cell?”

It’s only a matter of time before some anti-vax, transphobic legislator tries to make hay out of mRNA transcription as a concept.

Are we giving up on this rapture thing? I thought that had promise.
