The billions and billions of dollars this bill pumps into ICE far exceed any conceivable legitimate need the agency could have, even if you agree with its mission.
This bill takes the same masked, anonymous gunmen who have been kidnapping people off the streets and gives them a budget the size of a military.
This is not about honoring the law. This is not even about immigrants.
This is about creating a police state.
I see no other way to read these numbers.

What is the most valuable skill for a software developer to acquire to ensure their success?
(I already suspect I have a hunch as to your thoughts, but if you're willing, I'd …

Interesting piece on the #Arctic #SeaIce and it's (improving) representation in global climate models by Gavin Schmidt over on @realclimate, I'm not entirely sure all of the improvement is for the right reasons, there are probably compensating biases, it would be interesting to see if the models get the regional signal correct in different parts of the Arctic, but overall I agree with this piece, there have been some big steps forward in global models, the regional level is often not very well represented though.

Efficient Multilingual ASR Finetuning via LoRA Language Experts
Recent advancements in deep learning have significantly enhanced multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) due to the development of advanced model architectures and available large-scale multilingual datasets.
