How Chip Kelly Defined the Raiders' True Underlying Concerns https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-how-chip-kelly-defined-true-underlying-concerns

Real conspiracies tend to come out, but some of them take a while. Information on the Iran/Contra scandal broke out about 5 years after the conspiracy started. That would have taken several hundred people to carry out, so it was somewhat hard to hide. Even so, they largely got away with it.
The moon landing conspiracy theory would have taken thousands of people, so it would have come out more quickly. Since we have an example of a real secret program of a similar scale as what would be required to fake a moon landing (that is, the Manhattan project), we know that the fake moon landing conspiracy theory is not true. (There's also the literally tons of evidence in the form of rocks and other samples, and all kinds of other ways to debunk the claim.)
Could Kash Patel's FBI have been trying really hard to entrap people into carrying out terrorist attacks in order to justify #Trump's occupation of DC? Could they have helped a guy plan an attack then just failed to arrest him? There are reasonable scenarios that fall in between malice and incompetence while still indicating some level of false flag.
Could someone have just snapped and ambushed some guardsmen without any involvement from the FBI? Yeah, totally. The US is a country full of guns with a completely non-functional mental health system. Someone coming from a country that the US destroyed, twice, could have a lot of untreated trauma. Might they see the national guard as a threat (even if that wasn't totally true)? Yeah, they were deployed to threaten people (even when they were just picking up trash). The point was to incite this kind of response. It's completely reasonable to believe that the FBI would not need to be involved at all, that this would just be the stochastic response they were looking for.
So the point here is that everything is on the table, nothing is really known, nothing should be surprising, and no matter what it's Trump's fault. This is exactly the escalation he was looking for. If he didn't get it naturally, he would also have had ways of making it happen.
He will use this in exactly the same way as the Reichstag fire, to drive a wedge between liberals and radicals. Don't fall for it.
Edit:
There are plausible reasons to not believe the official narrative at all right now, or maybe ever. The official narrative is also plausible, but there are plausible reasons to disagree with the response even if the official story is true. It is unnecessary to resort to conspiracy thinking in order to account for what happened and to disagree with the response. But it is also understandable why someone might jump immediately to a conspiracy given the circumstances.

I think that this should indeed be public knowledge as we already pay for this with public money via the universities. The same is not true for the creative industry, including many individual artists that need to make a living off these creative works. But instead of addressing this issue of copyright (the fact that people don't have access to knowledge that is generated with their money) the blogposts are instead complaining that #AI should be exempted?

It’s also true of Mastodon, for very similar reasons.

I made the familiar point yesterday during a panel discussion that even if AI were approaching human intelligence, we're nowhere near human power efficiency (in "intelligence per watt")
But is that actually true anymore? We need huge power to train models, but once we have them trained, distilled and quantized, what do we have?
The human brain draws abt 20 Watts. An M4 doing local inference on a heavily quantized LLM won't draw more than 40 Watts.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

Economic reporting could mislead one into believing that budget deficits are the most important challenge governments face. Its an excuse to curtail spending on necessary benefits, including health care, education, social security, climate action and more. Is it true that countries such as Canada and the US can’t afford these services?

Whilst many nymphs that vowed chaste life to keep

O! lest the world should task you to recite
What merit lived in me, that you should love
After my death,--dear love, forget me quite,
For you in me can nothing worthy prove.
Unless you would devise some virtuous lie,
To do more for me than mine own desert,
And hang more praise upon deceased I
Than niggard truth would willingly impart:
O! lest your true love may seem false in this
That you for love speak well of me…

However, it is important from a strategic standpoint to maintain the argument that today's GOP is an aberrant degenerate personality cult rather than a real political organization with a rational view of the world.
The GOP is a zombie political party disconnected from its past and reduced to a mechanism for blocking sound government which might impede one man's lust for power.

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

Le canton de Vaud n’est pas en crise financière, par contre il est dans une crise politique profonde dont le refus du gouvernement d’assumer ses responsabilités envers les nombreux/euses mécontent·e·s de sa gestion des services publics et parapublics est la manifestation la plus éclatante. Le gouvernement a provoqué la crise, Š lui de la résoudre, en écoutant le mécontentement.

Heute vor 67 Jahren: Am 27. Oktober 1958 führte die USA mit "Chavez" den 30. Atomtest der Operation Hardtack II, eine Serie von 37 #Atomtests auf der #Nevada Test Site, NTS, durch. Von Ballontests bis zu unterirdischen Explosionen wurden verschiedene Methoden erprobt.

Le Conseil d’État a en effet transmis aux syndicats un courrier le 17 novembre annonçant qu’il ne répondrait pas favorablement Š la demande de négociations que les syndicats lui ont adressée le 30 octobre suite Š l’assemblée générale du personnel des services publics et parapublics appelant Š la grève les 18, 25 et 26 novembre. L’argument principal du Conseil d’État est que des négociations ont déjŠ eu lieu et qu’il a donc fait son devoir.

Sonnet 116 - CXVI
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's…

OMG THIS IS 100% TRUE. ESPECIALLY THE COMMUNITY & HELICOPTER BITS.

In Ukraine, a reporter is working on the front lines when the troops he is interviewing are suddenly overwhelmed by Russian troops.
Escaping from one hideout to another just moments before they explode, the reporter dives into a freshly dug ditch at a cemetery, dug for the many new coffins that are coming.
Somehow, the reporter escapes death and rises from the cemetery to share this report with you.
This is Giorgio, he is a true hero and journalist, reporting from the trenc…

While trying to understand why the American middle class feels poorer each year despite healthy GDP growth and low unemployment,
I came across a sentence buried in a research paper:
“The U.S. poverty line is calculated as three times the cost of a minimum food diet in 1963, adjusted for inflation.”
I read it again.
Three times the minimum food budget.
I felt sick.

As the US betrays Ukraine yet again, Ukraine displays the strength and integrity that has long been absent from US politics and media.
Craven sycophants of billionaires continue to reveal their true colors, while Ukraine shows the world how to fight, and what true heroes look like.
Each day is a new descent of shame for being an American.
The irony of Italy providing a voice of democracy and true journalism while the US does the opposite is not lost on me.

Investing in Ukraine to Defend Europe
Live from Ukraine 🇺🇦

Chats on Air Force One,
prior to this presidency,
were mostly off-the-record
and almost never on camera.
Administrations, prior to Trump’s, engaged in some level of message discipline,
planning what the president would say, how and when.
There is no such coherent planning in this White House.
In summary, Trump’s problem with the press are primarily of his own making.

When the President Hates the Press — and Has the Espionage Act
From license-stripping threats to sedition talk, Trump’s media crusade isn’t just bluster — it fits a troubling American pattern

It’s been 36 years since a mass femicide occurred at École Polytechnique in Montréal.
A man shot and killed 14 women because of their sex.
Described as “violent misogyny” by the federal government,
the killings have nonetheless never officially been called femicide in Canada
despite its global recognition as one of the most vivid examples of femicide in the western world.
Women and girls continue to be killed every two days somewhere in Canada, mostly by men. …

“More music is being released today (in a single day) than was released in the calendar year of 1989,” Page explained.
“More of that music is being done by artists themselves, meaning there’s even more demand for music production software.”

the rise in musicians goes hand-in-hand with the rise of music-making software and music-distributing platforms.
