Chiefs' Rashee Rice to be jailed for probation violation, to miss OTAs and minicamp

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rashee-rice-arrest-chiefs-wr-jail-probation-violation…

On Tuesday, the Trump administration filed a motion to join a lawsuit attempting to
block the U.S.’s first and only reparations program.
The federal government is supporting a 2024 lawsuit by right-wing group Judicial Watch,
which argues that the Evanston, Illinois reparations program violates the rights of non-Black residents

Trump Administration Attempts to Stop Reparations to Black Community in Illinois
The motion is an “attack on the revived hope that Black communities have felt” from the program, said its architect.

Musk v. Altman: in closing arguments, Musk's attorney doubled down on claims of Altman's untrustworthiness, while OpenAI's lawyer said Musk has no evidence (Associated Press)

Closing arguments begin in Musk-OpenAI trial that could shape AI’s future
Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI began closing arguments Thursday in the landmark trial whose outcome could shape the future of artificial intelligence. Musk, the world’s richest man, was a co-founder of OpenAI, the company that launched in 2015 and went on to create ChatGPT. After Musk invested $38 million in its first years, his lawsuit filed in 2024 accused OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his top deputy of shifting into a moneymaking mode behind his back.

I have a JPC-12 vertical antenna. On the good side, it puts the coil 4' away from the base, reducing coil losses by not putting it at the point with the highest current. On the other hand, it's stainless steel with significant real resistance, so even that reduced current still heats it up substantially. Some of that heat could instead be radiated RF!
I am considering rewinding the coil with lacquered silver-coated copper wire for substantially-reduced real resistance, as KA7O…

Why Writing Correct Software Is Hard
We try to understand the relationship between programs and correctness, and in particular, why writing correct programs must be hard. We will review results from computability theory and complexity theory, and see that programs and complete understanding – which is required for correctness – are fundamentally at odds.

Part of the Communications Act 2003 has come into force.
As a member of the public I'm confused as to why these laws don't automatically sunset if left unactivated. Certainly after more than 20 years, and significant changes in the makeup of Parliament.
(This change is just about classifying significant events, eg, sporting events.)
