For the last year, the nation has witnessed Trump’s rapid physical and mental decline.
The 79-year-old president has repeatedly lost track of his thoughts, his whereabouts, and even his grasp on the English language.
The New Republic’s breaking news team has put together a list of the president’s most senile moments in his first year in office

Cognitive Decline? These Were Trump’s 11 Most Senile Moments This Year
When Donald Trump wasn’t busy falling asleep in front of the cameras, he spent his first year in office struggling to form coherent thoughts.

Several times now, I experienced discussions that reached a point where someone replied with "But ChatGPT says..." and screenshot. Usually it went downhill from there.
Is this the new Godwin's Law?

Breaking the curse of dimensionality for linear rules: optimal predictors over the ellipsoid
In this work, we address the following question: What minimal structural assumptions are needed to prevent the degradation of statistical learning bounds with increasing dimensionality? We investigate this question in the classical statistical setting of signal estimation from $n$ independent linear observations $Y_i = X_i^{\top}θ+ ε_i$. Our focus is on the generalization properties of a broad family of predictors that can be expressed as linear combinations of the training labels, $f(X) = \s…

Still bugged in BETA3.
In the first screenshot – a more thorough test of the issue – it is impossible to login as root.
The third shot shows the failing result of a first attempt to work around.
A subsequent workaround succeeded, however the end result is quite ugly, and may be broken (with the possibility of another login failure) as a result of a true fix.

In a groundhog day loop of explaining why this hierarchical model cannot effectively be represented in the unified flat format they're trying to push. You can absolutely represent it in a flattened way, but it requires breaking out the child components into their own collection.
We end, once again, with the telling pause of disinterest and multitasking, followed by a distracted "mmm hmm" and promises to circle back on it later.
