Does the arresting officer ask this question at EACH and EVERY traffic stop? If not, this is #profiling and #racial #discrimination. That's #illegal. This officer should be facing #civil #rights violation charges. Meanwhile, keep the pressure on. Highlight every #detention. Get the #press involved. Shine a #light on these #wrong #arrests.

On correct but wrong responses

For a research project I am currently evaluating all kinds of generative AI models (mostly for visual artifacts but some text based ones as well). There also is somewhat of a push at my employer to use those systems more because of "efficiency". So we all know that LLMs fabricate facts meaning: They produce text that is factually untrue. Happens a lot, those so-called hallucinations are a structural property of those kinds of systems. But I kept wondering about something else that I keep […]

🎩✨Oh, joy! Another "luxurious" #package #manager for #Lua. Because, obviously, what Lua really needed was a glorified #cargo #cosplay to solve the earth-shattering problem of... #wrong headers? 😆 Imagine the screams of excitement from the, what, 12 people who noticed!

A quotation from Lincoln

It really hurts me very much to suppose that I have wronged anybody on earth.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

Andrew Roth at The Guardian:

"It’s unlikely that anyone will be punished. Donald Trump has told his aides that he doesn’t want to give the Atlantic a scalp, and vice-president JD Vance responded forcefully during a trip to Greenland on Friday: “If you think you’re going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody you’ve got another think coming … I’m the vice-president saying it here on Friday: we are standing behind our entire national security team.”

"Trump is to introduce tariffs this week that will probably dominate the news agenda for weeks. And his deputies are out on cable news every day, pushing back at the media for covering the scandal and suggesting that Goldberg somehow sneaked his way into the chat rather than being added directly by Waltz, the national security adviser."

Your irregular occasional reminder...

"Hacker" "News" is neither.

Pretty much anything you see there will be misinterpreted, misapplied, misclassified, misattributed, misappropriated, misbegotten, or just plain mistaken. [1] [2]

Simply reading it makes you less informed about the world. Some would argue it actively makes you dumber. Using it supports Y Combinator, which is most famous for turning deadbeats into leeches and funnelling VC money and power to fascists.

Get your tech news, opinion, and discussion somewhere else. Anywhere else. The #fediverse is a great alternative. Tell your friends.

Continued thread

#Trump said that the decision to remove people from the #US should be left to the president.

“He actually said we shouldn’t be able to take criminals, killers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders — that we shouldn’t be allowed to take them out of our country,” Trump told FauxNews. “Well, that is a presidential job. Not for a local judge to be making that determination.”
