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.

@… I very much agree with many of your points, and I’m glad that I no longer work in CL—which had already become NLP a long time ago, and is now by many considered “a subfield of ML.”
I think the problem started when computational linguistics and linguistics split into separate disciplines: one less and less interested in language, the other less…

Learning optimal treatment strategies for intraoperative hypotension using deep reinforcement learning
Traditional methods of surgical decision making heavily rely on human experience and prompt actions, which are variable. A data-driven system generating treatment recommendations based on patient states can be a substantial asset in perioperative decision-making, as in cases of intraoperative hypotension, for which suboptimal management is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), a common and morbid postoperative complication. We developed a Reinforcement Learning (RL) model to recommend opti…

BAGELS: Benchmarking the Automated Generation and Extraction of Limitations from Scholarly Text
In scientific research, limitations refer to the shortcomings, constraints, or weaknesses within a study. Transparent reporting of such limitations can enhance the quality and reproducibility of research and improve public trust in science. However, authors often a) underreport them in the paper text and b) use hedging strategies to satisfy editorial requirements at the cost of readers' clarity and confidence. This underreporting behavior, along with an explosion in the number of publications, …

Ah, dus *de* manier om Iran te dwingen een oorlog te beëindigen is zelf die oorlog te starten?

I'm not saying any new shit:
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

I don’t agree in one respect:
Neither OOP nor FP (nor 4GLs nor IDEs nor SOAs nor any of the other new hotnesses past) had anything remotely resembling the current money behind them. None led to companies speculatively laying off tens of thousands of employees for imagined productivity boosts that had not actually arrived yet. None shaped whole election cycles, or led to national proposals for preemptive deregulation. None led to the construction of nuclear power plants or the draining of rivers. None sent oligarchs or fascists into spasmodic wet dreams of world domination. None started quasi-religious cults like EA.
All •that• is the part that feels like blockchain — but even worse, if such a thing is possible.
