Scepticism is important. It leads to a desire to consult multiple sources and to check the facts. It is also an antidote to being brainwashed. Being sceptical about one's own scepticism may on occasion be useful as well, of course.

The facts in Ukraine are, Ukraine losses of territory are minimal, Russian losses are unsustainable. So all the talk of Ukraine “losing the war” is factually incorrect. At the same time Ukraine wants a ceasefire as soon as possible and even resume talks. But only if Russia stops attacking (my impression).

by accident i stumbled on this review by the #NSA on Bruce Schneiers "Applied Crypto" book from long ago.

9. BOOK REVIEW: APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY [censored] Reviewer

Applied Cryptography, for those who don't read the internet news, is a
book written by Bruce Schneier last year. According to the jacket,
Schneier is a data security expert with a master's degree in computer
science. According to his followers, he is a hero who has finally
brought together the loose threads of cryptography for the general
public to understand. Schneier has gathered academic research, internet
gossip, and everything he co…
Issue 1 TALES OF THE KRYPT Page 14 of 16
oc ID: 6823780

Playing loose with the facts is a serious problem with Schneier. For
example in discussing a small-exponent attack on RSA, he says "an
attack by Michael Wiener will recover e when e is up to one quarter the
size of n." Actually, Wiener's attack recovers the secret exponent d
when e has less than one quarter as many bits as n, which is a quite
different statement. Or: "The quadratic sieve is the fastest known .

Just finished this, and it's extremely great throughout.
I think the one reservation I have is that it's not a narrative that promotes an inclusive growth-mindset attitude towards who can be a scientist, but being a memoir that's perhaps more reflective of the (still changing) realities of federally-funded science than of how the author would like things to work.
I learned a ton of cool facts about plants, while also being taken on a deeply personal journey of human connection and survival in hostile environments. And Jahren is just actually a damn good writer, picking again and again, as she quotes it, words that skewer the heart.

In virtually every other law enforcement agency, if an officer is involved in a shooting there would be an internal investigation to determine whether deadly force was warranted. During this time the officers involved would be placed on leave and have access to (often mandatory) trauma counseling. Also during this time officials would refrain from commenting on the incident other than the barest of facts, pending the outcome of the investigation. These are the types of guard rails that any p…

@… I feel quite the same, and it gets worse the more I learn about how the stuff works.
Now I use LLMs mostly for inspiration, never for facts. And I'm a total vibe coding noob.

But adding actual real facts to the description would take effort.
Why exert effort when you can just tell fully automated lies that sound good?
(The lies don't sound good, it's the typical extremely mid LLM sentence construction.)

AVON: Exactly. You have just made a prediction based on the known facts. A computer works on precisely the same principle.

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This appears to be a scene from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," set aboard what looks like the Liberator spaceship. The image shows two characters in conversation in what appears to be the ship's relaxation area or quarters. One figure is seated on a curved, cream-colored chair or sofa, wearing what appears to be a leather or dark jacket, with curly hair and appearing to be in a contemplative or possibly troubled state with his…

'The problem here is not that Bongino is engaging in punditry. When properly done, pundits make arguments based on facts and reasoning. Bongino, by his own account, was doing something else entirely: He was telling his audience that the bombing was an inside job was a fact, when it was not only not true but also not based on any real circumstantial evidence.'

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.
Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?
It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

The Facts Are In: You Shouldn't Worry About EV Battery Replacements
“Lots of car buyers are worried about how long EV batteries last.
Research shows that modern EV batteries rarely fail.
Only 0.3% of batteries in EVs sold after 2022 have had to be replaced, outside of major recalls, Recurrent says.”

Donald Trump’s hateful, falsehood-filled rant on Thursday
blaming immigrants for crime, “social dysfunction” and economic hardship
is refuted by a wide range of immigration statistics,
which show clearly that immigrants dramatically bolster the US economy
and commit crimes at far lower rates than people born in the US.

Some currently-illegal concepts, despite the moral dilemmas surrounding them, need to be decriminalized simply because their illegality is significantly more problematic. At the top of the list: recreational drugs, abortion, and prostitution. We need to look at the larger picture (with facts!) to reduce harm.

Not a good look RCMP. But it sounds like in the main, they handled the situation ok even if they ran cover for a horrendous elected racist in Dallas Brodie.
Bravo to the people at UBC for making it clear that the agent-provocateur and hate-speech politician has no place, has no voice for her hateful rhetoric.
Residential school denialism *should* be a hate crime. The RCMP should be arresting Brodie, not protecting her hate propaganda tour.
Our Universities must be places of truth. Truths can be debated in context, but Brodie, like Charlie Kirk, isn't actually debating. No minds are going to be changed. No resolution found.
Dallas Brodie is only there to grab a headline and advance an extremist, regressive, and openly white supremacist agenda by advancing denialist views that dismiss truth and facts and calling it “anti-woke”.

Door Dasher Life Fun Facts: This might be useful to think of when you're rating your Dasher.... Who's at fault in this situation?
Let's say I accept an offer for McDonalds.
I head straight there... pull up to the store, and as I walk in the app buzzes again with a 2nd order for the same McDs.
Naturally, I accept. (not accepting reduces my Acceptance rate and potentially my ability to get new offers).
Now I have two orders at the same place! Great! Efficient!
The first order comes up quickly, I put it in my bag, 'pick it up' in the app, and wait for the 2nd order.
Now the fun begins. The restaurant says the 2nd order will be 10 minutes beyond the pickup time. I notify the app, and both customers of the wait... and I wait... and wait... if I remove the 2nd order from my app it affects my completion rate *and* means the customer has to wait for another dasher to come along.
Eventually the 2nd order is ready and I head out to make the deliveries. Both of course now late.. the first potentially cold (even in an insulated bag) *and* late.
In addition, sometimes, often a day or two later, the dasher will receive a “Contract Violation” for the lateness. 3 Contract Violations in a short period and you can be deactivated.
So... there ya go. It happens. I'm never sure what the best course of action is... unless both orders are immediately ready, which you can never predict, someone will end up losing; the store, customer, dasher, or a mix of all three.
#DasherLife #GigWork #DoorDash #Uber
P.S. It's worth noting that Door Dash is the only service I know of that is this strict. Uber Eats does not have mechanisms like this (at least in my experience). Never used Skip, so can't say on that.
