YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders Bernie to Trump: Obey the Law, Release SNAP Emergency Funds

Trump and Republicans in Congress are willing to let 16 million kids in America go hungry to make a political point.

Disgusting.

Mr. President: Release the SNAP emergency funds that Congress appropriated.

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically pr...

AFAICT, this *proof* is based on the idea that *we* can't fathom how certain aspects of our universe could be modelled algorithmically; therefore, our universe cannot be a simulation.

I wonder if the paper was generated by an LLM.

Mark Zuckerberg is excited to add more AI content to all your social feeds Is AI the next era of social media?

Faceslop? Slopbook?

I think that's a good insight, and seems fairly plausible. It would suggest that we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg, which is already pretty concerning.

America’s super-rich are running down the planet’s safe climate spaces, says Oxfam Data shows wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10%

For anyone still wondering why we campaign against extreme wealth, this is why.

Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings : Foundation says it won't compromise policy of inclusivity even if that cash would've really helped

Excellent.

Why open source may not survive the rise of generative AI Generative AI may be eroding the foundation of open source software. Provenance, licensing, and reciprocity are breaking down.

Code generated by LLMs is irreversibly decoupled from the licenses associated with code LLMs are trained on. If you use LLMs to generate code, then you are almost certainly violating open source licenses.

FTR, all the open source code I contribute is hand coded and free of copyright violations.

Impact of Abortion Bans on Women’s Mental Health Recent research has illuminated a pressing issue within the realm of women’s health that starkly underscores the deepening socio-economic disparities in the United States. The study, conducted by B

New research has found alarmingly high rates of mental health disorders among women after abortion bans took effect in US states. Low-income women exhibited the most significant deterioration in mental health indicators, such as increased levels of anxiety and depression.

Not counting today's protest, 7 of the top 10 protests by size in US history happened while Trump was president.
