ONE RULEBOOK FOR AI I wanted to share a few thoughts on AI preemption and address some of the concerns. First, this is not an “AI amnesty” or “AI moratorium.” It is an attempt to settle a question of jurisdiction. When an AI model is developed in state A, trained in state B,

But everyone just wants to talk about and use "AI" ... if their paycheck depends on it

Outside of inaugurations or other specific special events, I don’t think guard has ever been deputized before.
“Republican Gov. [of TN] Bill Lee, who supports the effort, has said the [National Guard] troops will be deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service to ‘play a critical support role’ for local law enforcement, though that role hasn’t been precisely defined yet.”

Evaluating Fundus-Specific Foundation Models for Diabetic Macular Edema Detection
Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision loss among patients with Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). While deep learning has shown promising results for automatically detecting this condition from fundus images, its application remains challenging due the limited availability of annotated data. Foundation Models (FM) have emerged as an alternative solution. However, it is unclear if they can cope with DME detection in particular. In this paper, we systematically compare different FM an…

Collective Punishment Backfires (I wrote this):
"The American People are blowing whistles at armed and armored forces deployed on their streets, peacefully alerting their neighbors that danger is close. The American People are photographing and videoing the un-uniformed, unidentified, masked, violent, reckless for future prosecution."

Collective Punishment Backfires
when school teachers tried it we acted out even more ice is doing many things, including collectively punishing the people of Chicago, and by extension the American People. This has me writing instead of sleeping. Gassing neighborhoods, often near children, schools and hospitals is collective punishment. Discharging their weapons recklessly
