Gee, that statement by senator (no capitalization deserved) Joni Ernst and "the white house" about how good it is for Medicare to let people die is applicable to the abortion issue:
As the white house (and Ernst) argue, fewer people receiving medical assistance means (does it really mean?) more for everyone else.
Gee, then if that argument holds they ought to be in favor of abortion - because that means fewer people who will need government services, meaning more for th…

SmolVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Affordable and Efficient Robotics
Vision-language models (VLMs) pretrained on large-scale multimodal datasets encode rich visual and linguistic knowledge, making them a strong foundation for robotics. Rather than training robotic policies from scratch, recent approaches adapt VLMs into vision-language-action (VLA) models that enable natural language-driven perception and control. However, existing VLAs are typically massive--often with billions of parameters--leading to high training costs and limited real-world deployability. …

"the legislation they’re proposing would actually mandate the burial or cremation of miscarriages—opening the door to arresting women who dispose of their miscarriages ‘improperly’.

“We got to be honest in what happened, because losing elections has consequences,”
said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate,
during a rousing speech Saturday afternoon.
“We’re in this mess because some of it’s our own doing. … None of us can afford to shy away from having hard conversations about what it’s going to take to win elections.”
Walz, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Democrats don’t need to retreat from their ideals,
such as pro…

Democrats vow to stick to values while regaining working-class voters
California Democrats say their party must stay committed to their values protecting the most vulnerable, while also honing their economic messaging to win back voters they lost last year.

@… I'm afraid I don't know what that hashtag means (or why it's a hashtag).

This seems bad. We just learned in the past week via @… that ICE agents are searching Flock cameras nationwide, and so did a Texas cop trying to track down a woman who got an out-of-state abortion. Now, without any guardrails against that, a crypto billionaire wants $9m more of these cameras in SF.
There's an ordinance to accept the gift that will…
