@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itOf course they're mostly white. An education lawyer costs like $8k per year per kid. That's money you don't get back.
The politico framing here makes me furious, though - "kids benefiting from this public funding". Fuck you. This is a huge pain in the ass and is expensive, for something that the NYC Dept of Education should be providing. No one *wants* to be going through this shit. We wouldn't have to if the DOE could actually handle basic stuff like IEPs.

Anthropic isn’t the only one looking at this, but I think the company has made it part of its core mission more than most.

So this new research is very much in that context.
It goes deeper into the weird mechanisms inside LLMs than ever before.

@cdarwin@c.imAs the midterms approach,
Donald Trump is continuing to make strongman moves:
banning reporters from the White House;
trying to remake Washington DC’s architecture in his name;
putting "Dear leader"-style videos on television.
But historian Timothy Snyder tells Kai Wright that
what this really is, is a sign of weakness.
And even as the Democrats seemed poised to win the midterms,
Snyder argues that the Democrats need to take bold, d…
@cdarwin@c.imTrump has pushed Congress to pass a proof-of-citizenship law,
signed an executive order seeking a national voter ID requirement
and tried to limit mail voting through U.S. Postal Service changes.
None of those moves succeeded in time to affect this year’s midterm elections.
🆘But It’s a different matter in the states.
More than three dozen voting laws passed in Republican-controlled states are taking effect for the first time this year,
many of them containin…

@cdarwin@c.imAnthropic is warning that some of its artificial intelligence models could soon
become “self-replicating”
and find ways to infiltrate internet-connected devices,
such as smart fridges and automatic vacuum cleaners.
Once this happens, the company said,
the models could power themselves within these devices without the need of datacenters.
Such self-replication would represent a major loss of control of a runaway AI model.
“A replicator like this would…

@cdarwin@c.imUsing tools like Face ID or fingerprint unlocking to get into your phone and log in to accounts is certainly easy,
but if you're concerned about your privacy, you should avoid them.
Thanks to a 5th Amendment loophole, law enforcement can compel you to use biometric data to unlock your devices,
but they can't force you to give them a password or passcode.
We saw this earlier this year, when a Washington Post reporter's home was raided by the FBI.
@cdarwin@c.imThis week, I heard something that shocked me.

and that if they didn’t like those restrictions, retirees could forfeit their pension and benefits.
The Trump administration expects the people who have put their lives on the line for America to cede one of their basic ri…
