One thing I am noticing is that if you have a solid technical foundation (nothing too specific but a good general grasp) AI has made it much easier to accomplish things that previously would have been incredibly difficult unless you spend huge amounts of time learning a thing.
A quick comment on Thomas Massie losing the primary to an externally funded opponent.
The representation of local communities in government should not be determined based on external groups exerting financial pressure. This shouldn't be allowed
@AnthropicAI lol "The Mythos Preview wake-up call" that's like if we published a blog post with "the tinybox green v2 wake-up call" except we actually sell the product.
@TrisH0x2A MIT is not the only university to do this though, there are quite a few others and it's actually one of the more popular ways to approach an OS class
Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
Yeah, so pretty much, like, there is this really sketchy company in Israel named "Paragon". Paragon sells a "product" called GRAPHITE.
Let me explain the background and why this is very silly.
GRAPHITE spyware which allows "customers" to remotely access peoples cell phones and monitor their instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp
It is spyware. It is sometimes called Mercenary Spyware because it is primarily used by governments to spy on political enemies, journalists, and activists.
Very little is known about Paragon, GRAPHITE, and their "customers". However, it was publicly noted by the Trump administration in January, 2025, to be purchased by the United States government and to be used to aid ICE.
Furthermore, in September 2025 the Trump administration noted the usage of Graphite to aid the United States against "domestic terrorist organizations" such as "ANTIFA".
ICE acting director Todd Lyons noted using GRAPHITE to monitor anti-ICE protestors to track "ringleaders and professional agitators".
Citizen Lab and other civil rights organizations have documented the usage of GRAPHITE against individuals in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, Singapore and (unsurprisingly) the United States. It is believed the Canadian government actively uses GRAPHITE in Ontario.
Okay, so why does all of this matter? Yeah, it's super fucked up. But today representatives from Paragon accidentally leaked GRAPHITE screenshots ... ON LINKEDIN. Dawg, that image in the background IS GOVERNMENT FUCKING SPYWARE
It shows phone numbers in Czechia, apps, accounts, media on the phone, "interception status", and phone numbers extracted. THEY LEAKED IT BY ACCIDENT ON LINKEDIN WHILE TAKING SELFIES
@theJayAlto Today I tried to answer some basic questions in Spanish with my MIL and was unable to. This is with a 370+ day streak.
I think you get out what you put in, and while Duolingo can be helpful, assuming 4 minutes per day of Spanish will lead to anything HELPFUL is flawed
Frankly after using Google's new Vscode clone Antigravity a little, it doesn't really have any features that make me want to use it regularly. The main feature it has is the agent manager, but... meh
Also, it's currently in a free public trial so you hit rate limits early.
