I don't get the "I failed to fact-check what the LLM generated when I was doing research/collating information for my article I am writing as a professional journalist" excuse.
First and most obviously, how about not using LLMs for this—because it is well established that they don't actually work for research, summarizing or collating data (that needs to be accurate).
But also: you need to fact-check anything and anyone as a journalist. It's not an optional thing to do, it's literally _what you do as a journalist_. You journal facts. It's like a cook forgetting to boil the pasta and serving it uncooked.

Partner: I get Pink Floyd and The Who confused.
Me: But… how!? They don’t sound anything alike. They’re both British, but… how?
Partner: I know they’re totally different, but in middle school there was this kid who always wore either a Pink Floyd shirt or a The Who shirt, so ever since then my brain confuses the two.
Me: Brains are weird.

Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Donald Trump have had a tense relationship

before easing.
Anything could happen at their Feb. 3 meeting.
The meeting between the two presidents

— is meant to de-escalate tensions, diplomats said.
It is also meant to address topics such as “the fight against transnational organized crime, especially on the border,”…

I have never really been a collector of anything. Maybe music for a while, back in the MP3 era, twenty years ago. Other than that, there was never something I felt passionate enough to collect, at least not in real life, not physical objects.
I never truly understood the collectors around me. To me, collecting always felt like a burden. Something you had to carry, move, store, maintain.
And yet, today, I realized something.…
Why is it the case that we can't copy text anymore on the phone? You used to be able to hold and select to copy, but "hold" doesn't do anything now, half of the time. I think this mostly happens in apps, like Rightmove or Outlook. Is this just me? Is there a trick to make it good again?

Totally normal problems.
So one day I had trouble zipping my winter jacket; around the final teeth, the zipper would stop catching. And when I tried again, I couldn't zip anything at all. Finally, at nth careful attempt it finally worked, and I had no more trouble that day. When I've turned, we looked at it, and decided that a loose thread must have gotten into it while zipping. Cut the thread off.
Next day, the zipper worked just fine in the morning. However, when I was about to leave the train, it suddenly stopped working. It seemed that I'm up for a cold day in unzipped jacket, but it finally caught a few minutes later, on the road. This time, I suspected the zipper. Tightened it, it started working again.
Today, I've tried zipping it three times to make sure it really works. And of course, as soon as I arrived at the destination, it refused to zip. I've tried again while walking, and it fell apart completely. Fortunately, the wind stopped blowing, and walking on snow was hard enough to jumpstart my metabolism fast. Finally, I've replaced the zipper and now everything works.
I wonder what tomorrow holds…

Trump says US munition stockpiles mean wars can be fought 'forever'
In a late night post on Truth Social, Donald Trump said that the US munition stockpiles “at the medium and upper medium grade” have “never been higher or better”.
He added that the US has a “virtually unlimited supply of these weapons”, meaning that

This comes after Trump said that the US-Israel war on Iran could go beyond the four to five weeks that the admini…

There’s officially a city prohibition on ICE setting foot in city parks, but who knows what that’s worth? Those bastards will do anything if they think they can get away with it. And they’ll grab people right off the streets if they’re falling behind quota for the day. Who’d risk that?
ICE had apparently succeeded turning the park into all-white world they dreamed of. It was…creepy.

So #GitHub Actions only lets me rerun all jobs, all failed jobs or a single job — not a subset of jobs. On top of that, if I rerun anything, I can't do anything until it finishes, and I can't cancel a single job without cancelling everything. Truly great UX.
So now I have to choose between either starting a few very long-running jobs one by one, and waiting for every one to finish before manually starting the next one, or starting all failed jobs, including a bunch of jobs that will rerun unnecessarily.

Just like... imagine for a second that you're a former billionaire and every day you have to sit through someone telling you a long story about all the suffering you caused them, or their family, or their community, in order to get food.
Like, as a billionaire, you don't even have the first clue how to take care of yourself so you are *completely* dependent on other people to do *everything* for you... and the only people who will do anything for you are all the people you hurt, in exchange for you sitting and listening to *all of it.*
