I have it on good authority about half of Americans actually have less than average hand dexterity.

I think only that this post under appreciates the extent to which NYT leadership endorses, or is at least very comfortable with, the Trump project

I used to work at a bar with Joel. I just did a double take as I scrolled through this.

I keep asking people how they deal with the feeling of their brain crying everyday when they get home from work but they don't know what I'm talking about.

β€œOur institutions are not acting as if American democracy is under threat,” Donald Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, contended in an email. It has become routine, Moynihan wrote,

for Trump to fire people in independent agencies or civil servants, or to impound funds and even close agencies. All of these things were widely assumed to be illegal. While the courts are not making definitive rulings on such powers, they are allowing Trump to exercise them. Maybe they will clip Trump’s wings later, but in the meantime enormous damage will be done and undoing that damage will be extraordinarily difficult. For example, ending U.S.A.I.D. without congressional action is illegal, but it is happening, and millions will die as a result.

I'm stunned. ICE attorneys not identifying themselves in COURT?

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

I hope ai fails to be broadly adopted as much as anyone but I don't think complaints about price hikes are meaningful. Is the ai coding assistant cheaper than hiring more developers? If so then people will pay for it. If not, then they won't. The business plan was always the first taste is free.

Yeah, as an AI I follow up facts in third person is a much funnier and more absurd statement

But the full sentence is "I don't respond in first person as Elon". Grok is terrible but this sentence itself seems normal

Meanwhile NASA is the only federal agency I'm aware of that does blind reviews for grants rather than plastering the PI name and institution on the cover. This is a practice that should be expanded not destroyed.

I've been sitting on the fence about switching to kobo just because I already own a kindle. I'm gonna order a kobo now so I can start reading Ancillary Sword
