@DeryaTR_ @NotebookLM @GeminiApp This is amazing! Will you be sharing your prompts (pretty pleeaaaaase)? Or at least some way to start?

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.

In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Hey @MdAtlPermanente, I think that a standard drink is 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, not "8 ounces of malt liquor" as written on

@o_attractions This is Hallstatt in Austria, but close enough... 🙄

自然言語で誰でも自分のGPTを開発できる。

実際にOpenAIのSam Altmanが4分以内にGPTを簡単に作成しているデモを行った。

今日からGPTを開発することが出来て、来月はGPTストアがローンチされる。新しいアプリストアになるのかが気になる。

I hope that @MayorBowser, @DCPSChancellor and @dcpublicschools will find a new principal swiftly for the wonderful @EatonSchool .

A June 14 letter signed by 40 staff members, including every teacher, claimed Principal Steven Eskay openly discussed confidential information about children and staff and used disparaging language about both groups. https://t.co/QXDI3kSjHD

@onedrive @hyperkind yes, both in Windows and the website

My nephew responded, "Well, we were having a lockdown drill and I forgot to go to the bathroom before it was going to start. We didn't know when it was going to start and I was afraid I was going to get trapped in the hallway and get shot."

Quick shout out to @OptionSamurai who provides an amazing product. I used mostly the scanner, along with the automated notifications when new options match my criteria. Iron Condors, Covered Calls, BUPS, they do them all.
Moreover, their customer service is #TopNotch! A+!

@falcicchio Yes please!
And remove most restrictions on times (vs tennis players). They should be reserved a few hours per week (e.g Mon, wed, Fri, sat morning), then open play on a first come first serve basis.

@Jazzie654 I would say red, since they passed without enough visibility in an urban area, and the car ahead clearly wanted to turn. White had no way to prevent the accident.

@BadMedicalTakes So, if we had to ban one, should we ban doctors or guns?

[Nico Durand @NicoDuDC]

@dvassallo I think that Camera Futura does just that:

It's a desktop software for windows only, for now.

Sigh: Yes, AR-15 stands for Armalite Rifle, but when your child is rendered so unrecognizable from dozens of bullets in her tiny body that only her sneakers can ID her, you don't care what it stands for, you care that no civilian needs or should have one.
