French MPs are preparing to vote on a law that treats criticism of Israel as antisemitic and widely expands the scope of terrorism legislation. 
Lawmakers will debate the bill informally dubbed Yadan’s Law

Under current law, “direct” incitement to terrorism is punishable by five years in prison and a €75,000 fine.
The bill would expand that to “implicit” incitement or glorification of …

White House upbraids CNN for airing Iranian leader's message
The Trump administration is denouncing CNN for airing a portion of the new Iranian supreme leader's first public statement since he got the job. It was the second time in three days that the administration specifically singled out the network for trying to find out what the leaders of the country the United States is bombing are thinking. The attack is another illustration of the care that news outlets must take in reporting during wartime, and the responsibilities of journalists to get multipl…

"LLMs work (somewhat) for coding computer programs. As everyone knows this is the highest form of human endeavor—unsurpassed by any other lesser activity such as project management, design, art or writing. Therefore LLMs will excel in every other field."
I really believe this is the crux understanding why so many programmers (including good programmers) fall for it in a way that can only be described as a cult, were any criticism is not only not allowed but reflexively is seen as either laughable or belligerent.
Anyway, LLMs are good* at writing code because writing code is easy and highly repetitive and doesn't actually take a lot of skill; unless it's novel ways to write code which LLMs cannot do.
Taking this as a sign LLMs can do other "lesser" activities is saying a lot about the hubris of programmers and not a lot of the capabilities of LLMs.

The covers of two French newspapers — Libération and Le Parisien, both showing the date Jan. 27 — were presented on screen to corroborate his allegations.

"Why Some Criticisms Matters More Than Others", by Robert J. Hansen:
"""
On the GnuPG-Users mailing list, a user asked the following (paraphrased) question:
> I am very well aware of the consistent and persistent campaign against GnuPG. Is there a reason for this?
There are many reasons.
Before we go further, the things I'm speaking of apply to both LibrePGP and RFC9580 OpenPGP. The criticisms made against one usually wind up getting made against the other, whether for good or ill. These criticisms fall on a spectrum, from infuriatingly dishonest all the way to carefully thought out and researched. I'll start with the ones I think are dishonest.

The small number of prisoners made the extra expense even more questionable…
