I suspect it's been said before, yet many have forgotten:
California's CPUC polices on the TNCs (Uber, Lyft, etc) that prohibited local regulation are example of how wealth transfer really works - Toward capital, not those at the lower income levels. This situation is absolutely shameful.
Pity I haven't heard concerns about this from politicians, especially those with strong SF connections, like Governor Newsom, or our reps in Sacramento.

I so hope this blows up in his face spectacularly.
Note that I do not believe that any LLM can become as skilled as the least skilled #InfoSec professional using conventional tools, so I’m quite confident this will not reach any useful goal.
I’m saying he needs to learn a lesson, and it would be great if it were useful for others as well. @…

I fine-tuned a 24B parameter cybersecurity LLM. It's free. And I need the security community's help. After years of benefiting from open security tools, research, and community knowledge, I wanted to give something back. What I built: nova:24b - a domain-adapted LLM trained specifically for cybersecurity tasks. The training data (40K+ examples): - 16,000 examples extracted from 407 security PDFs (threat modeling, cryptography, incident response, adversarial ML) - ISO 27001:2022 con…

Nothing unusual to see here. Just the Canadian armed forces training for to meet the greatest military threat they currently face … [checks notes] … an invasion by the US.

Justin Massie writes on Twitter: “military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days. Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians wou…

I’m at a Celebration of Life in honor of the late President Emeritus James J. Duderstadt.
There’s a lot of emeritus faculty here.

This image shows a formal presentation taking place in Rackham Amphitheater, an elegant auditorium. The room features distinctive curved, tiered seating arranged in a semi-circular pattern, upholstered in green fabric. The architecture is quite striking, with cream-colored walls adorned with decorative trim, including a Greek key pattern border near the ceiling with circular medallions. At the front of the room, a large screen displays a video of Jim Duderstadt wearing colorful academic robes …

Also, special shout out to Wirtz who has weathered so much criticism as he's tried to adapt. He was the best we'd seen him tonight. I salivate at the prospect of him growing further.
And while Ekitike had a middling rating on FotMob of 6.3, I think his job was extremely difficult and he was far better than that number. He has a sophistication in reading the moment that is amazing for such a young player.
