What does it profit a person if they gain the world but forfeit their soul? (Matthew 16:26)

@davidshepardson @AirlinesDotOrg They're taking this stance because they figure people will buy less flights during the hours without daylight. I presume their business will find a new balance they just don't want to wait and see what that looks like

@ScottWarner18 @Walmart They process 2.2% of the nations GDP they're not going to pay the extra points of margin both those companies charge for their payments services

🧵Rumblings from the 7th Circuit over a tense oral argument in USA v. Rishi Shah which should be of concern to anyone paying attention to Democrat lawfare.

Over the last decade, the U.S. has lost more than 2,000 community banks, limiting access to capital for small businesses, farmers, homebuyers, and working families.

Today, I stood alongside my @FinancialCmte colleagues in support of the Main Street Capital Access Act, which reverses that trend by strengthening community banks and restoring local lending.

The legislation package also includes my SAFE Guidance Act, which reins in federal regulators by stopping the use of informal guidance, reputational risk, and political pressure to deny banking services to lawful businesses and individuals. This legislation protects access to financial services and advances President Trump’s executive order to end debanking.

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights:

1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI.
2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later.
3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators.
4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc.

TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

@fitsnews @Scout_Motors @henrymcmaster I had the exact same thoughts. This is so embarrassing for SC leaders, losing the highest paying jobs to North Carolina

@SoCal360 @UniversalORL What's #Epic is you found a time where this wasn't flooded with people!

[Robby Hill @webrobby]

@303SnowWolf @COAeroDiv South Carolina does this and if you visit all the GA airports and provide proof they send you a prize

[Robby Hill @webrobby]

@Parkeology I wear a cool hat with the Horizons logo most trips there but alas no one has ever noticed

[Robby Hill @webrobby]

@303SnowWolf Congratulations 👏🙌

NEW: After charging half the cost of a roundtrip for years, the nation's largest airlines have resumed charging higher fares on one-way domestic flights ... in a big way.

Our extensive fare research & analysis found higher one-way fares on more than 50% of domestic flights.

@unusual_whales You're wrong about the social security tax change

.@craigmelvin Hey Craig! fellow SC family here 🙋‍♂️ My mom is your biggest fan and turns 70 on July 2nd—she watches @TODAYshow religiously and especially loves YOU. Would you consider sending her a quick video shoutout? Would make her year. 🙏💙 #SCproud #TodayShow @TODAYshow

This week's #MemberMonday feature, @honeywell, has completed the development of Surf-A, a new cockpit alerting system for runway incursion awareness, and expects certification by the end of this year. Read more about it at the link: https://t.co/VMOcLNhAj3

[Robby Hill @webrobby]

@303SnowWolf I always said "we're inbound visual runway 36 with Whiskey" so they'd know it was with me in the cockpit

Real support comes from real connection. That’s why America’s banks are rooted in the communities they serve and ready to back what matters most.

Name a bigger lie.

I'll wait.

@SoCal360 Enjoy the trip, Hong Kong is such a great city to visit. I took my mom to HK Disney and we loved it.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Next time you’re upset or anxious, ask yourself, “Is this going to matter in 10 years?”

No? Then get over it and move on.
