“The passage where you talk about killing a dog that was 14 months old — I train dogs. All right? And you are a farmer; you should know better. You should know that if you’re going out to a hunting lodge and you’re putting pheasants out and you’re putting dogs out, you don’t take a puppy out there. A 14-month-old dog is basically a teenager in dog years,” Tillis told Noem.

“You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training. And then you have the audacity to go into a book and say it’s a leadership lesson about tough choices?

“But my point is, those are bad decisions made in the heat of the moment — not unlike what happened up in Minneapolis,” he continued. “We’re an exceptional nation, and one of the reasons we’re exceptional is we expect exceptional leadership, and you’ve demonstrated anything but that.”

The ending is classic Scalzi

If you’re a scammer who uses “AI” to try to defraud actual humans, please die in a fucking fire, thanks. For everyone else, sorry a flood of spam has ruined book clubs. It’s awful for every one of us.

The environment is complicated and being reductive isn’t useful. While I’m not saying they haven’t slipped their leash a bit, I think it’s a bit more complicated than just dropping their ethics.

Your link and the time article about RSP is only slightly related to the Defense department decision. Both have lasting impacts, and both are ethics driven, but in entirely different directions. One relates to allowing for decision to be made about killing, Responsible Scaling Policy is about how fast and what safety they train their AI’s with.

I sort of get the usecase, but is anyone weirded out by an sqlite database that needs multiuser concurrent transaction? There is a point here it seems like you should just use a more robust non-single file database.

State house seat, mind you. Still good.

YouTube cofounder Steve Chen said at a talk at the Stanford Graduate School of Business last year that he wouldn’t want his kids consuming only short-form content, noting that it might be better to limit kids to videos longer than 15 minutes.

I hope this is introduced at the LA trial in some form that demonstrates the why.

I should not be amazed, but I still am, at the entire lack of morality that tech entrepreneurs have post dotcom bursting.

As someone who isn’t familiar with the UK advertising laws, is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising_Standards_Authority_(United_Kingdom) what you mean?

I think this point is getting buried, but the regulatory change that needs to happen to start with is not the algorithm alone, but Monetization realignment!!

• Shift ad models to reward completion (e.g., pay creators per finished video) rather than scroll depth
• Offer paid tiers where users pay $2-5/month to disable all addictive features (no A/B testing on these users)
• User-controlled ad preferences with revenue sharing
• Behavioral cost transparency

Or others. Basically disincentivize addictive apps. I would also suggest penalizing harshly those that do, as many of these companies make so much off of this that only the harsher enforced penalties will force change (if they don’t avoid it through regulatory capture).

Chronology is only one part of this, although I think it is the right foot forward.
We also need:

• Mandatory session limits with friction
• Notification redesign replacing real-time alerts with scheduled digest batches
• Engagement friction mechanisms
• Especially need algorithmic transparency & control to make the user aware and in not manipulated
• Behavioral feedback systems
• An most importantly Monetization Realignment

The parents point is true, but more generally I think it needs to be that “people” need to be held responsible and accountable for their actions both as adults and children, and to enable this they need to be taught critical thinking skills as well as given the tools to make this happen. Common sense isn’t common, it’s instilled.

There are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof which can do exactly what you just proposed. I’m not sure it’s a foolproof answer, but it is designed to exactly deal with that identity conundrum as well as others.

In cryptography, a zero-knowledge proof (also known as a ZK proof or ZKP) is a protocol in which one party (the prover) can convince another party (the verifier) that some given statement is true, without conveying to the verifier any information beyond the mere fact of that statement’s truth.

By young, they mean not geriatric. Some of the candidate running in open or challenge seats. And we need more.

Nikki Foster (D) Age: 38 | Race: U.S. Senate (OH) | Background: Labor organizer and 2022 Senate candidate; running against incumbent J.D. Vance in an open-seat scenario.

Adam Gray (D) Age: 42 | Race: U.S. House (CA-13) | Background: State Assemblymember challenging Republican incumbent John Duarte in a Central Valley swing district.

Mia Janecka (D) Age: 38 | Race: U.S. House (TX-23) | Background: El Paso County prosecutor; running against Republican Tony Gonzales in a border district with shifting demographics.

Syler Roberts (D) Age: 34 | Race: U.S. House (OR-06) | Background: Climate policy advisor and Gen Z activist challenging Republican Andrea Salinas in a Portland suburbs district.

I’m sure they’d love this.

Are you sticking with Plex and hoping to phase in Navidrome on it later? Or a back end switch too?

What would your focus be on?

How can I unshrink a piece of clothing?

If a favourite garment has shrunk in the wash, you can try to rescue it with this simple method.

Gently soak the item in lukewarm water mixed with hair conditioner or baby shampoo (approximately one tablespoon per litre). Then, carefully stretch the fabric back into shape and dry it flat or under gentle tension – for example, by pegging the garment to a drying rack.

The reason this works is because conditioners have chemicals known as cationic surfactants. These will temporarily lubricate the fibres, making them more flexible and allowing you to gently pull everything back into place.

This process can’t completely reverse extreme shrinkage but it can help recover some of the lost size, making the clothes wearable again.

We (Rakesh and Sameer) worked at two pioneering companies, Databricks and ThoughtSpot, as early engineers, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in technology, building revolutionary products.

We found ourselves spending only half our time on what truly mattered—shipping features.

The other half? It was consumed by debugging and fixing issues.

…

Our mission is to help engineering teams break free from the endless cycle of debugging, so they can focus on what truly drives impact—building and shipping great features.

President Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters that the heads of American oil companies were informed of the US military’s attack on Venezuela—described as “brazenly illegal” by scholars and experts—even before it took place.

Trump’s admission, a renowned liar, sparked condemnation because the administration refused to consult with US lawmakers about the operation, citing fears of a leak that would compromise operational security.

There is a lot here, but if you feel you can’t act using LE help, than Ohio has zero-criteria, male-inclusive housing options. They rarely use the word “shelter” on the web so they do not get swamped by single men seeking free motel space. You qualify under “survivor of family-violence with disability.”

When you call: you can give “first name only” and withhold your exact address—they will still arrange transport. Bring legal-ID. Proof-of-employment are not required; safety trumps paperwork.

• Crisis Hotline 24/7 (call from any phone – they will NOT disclose caller ID):
• Ohio Domestic Violence Network – 1-800-934-9840 (ask for “male survivor advocacy”).
Faster SMS/Text (smart-number line): Text “SAFE” + ZIP to 44357.

Three metros with immediate walk-in male units (all wheelchair/adaptive):

• CHOICES – Columbus & Delaware detox-friendly, 30–90 day stays.

• YWCA Dayton Brukner House male wing funded specifically for adults with disabilities; they take SSA or SSI clients and help reinstate payments if interrupted.

• Victims Assistance Cleveland & Erie County – 24-bed male DV dorm; can place you same night in independent-living room once CPO filed.

Next-72-hour legal & relocation funding:

• Flexible Financial Assistance – pays up to $2,500 toward deposit, mover, phone, food. One-page form + pic of lease invoice.

• Hotel program – ODVN hotel-voucher code is good for 7– 21 nights; county‐to‐county portability. Confidentiality clause forbids hotel from telling anyone who book and paid.

• REACH Rapid Re-housing – month-to-month subsidized lease for disabled adult DV survivors, renewable for 12 months.

It’s worth mentioning that if your bother is drilling reserve status, or is a retiree who receives retired pay then call the Military Police & DoD Inspector General: 1 800 342-9647. Privileged report triggers immediate base-side investigation and overnight restriction orders—they don’t need your parents’ permission and cannot reveal your identity to them. Based on what you have written, he’s in violation of Article Article 128 — Assault & Threats (10 U.S.C. § 928), Article 134 – Communicating a Threat, Article 134 — Disorder/Neglect to Prejudice, and Article 133 – Conduct Unbecoming an Officer / Qualities of Leadership.

Under Ohio, there are at least two statues: Domestic Violence Civil Protection Order (DV-CPO) – R.C. 3113.31

• specifically covers threats to kill or harm “household members” (supreme court.ohio.gov).

Red-/Yellow-Flag Extreme-Risk Protection Order (ERPO) – R.C. 2923.132

• judge can order police to seize all firearms & ammunition immediately if the respondent poses a “threat of violence”.

These two will remove your brother’s guns/ammunition within 24–48 h. And the Judge can make him vacate the home and stay 500–1,000 ft away even if your parents co-own the house.

There is no criminal charge, no attorney required (R.C. 3113.31(J)): county clerk must supply forms, waives all fees.

My suggestion is that tomorrow morning (or tonight if your county has night magistrate), walk in or use webcam petitioning (many Cuyahoga, Franklin, Summit and Hamilton courts offer online intake after 5 p.m.).

Make a check box “Emergency ex parte” (he does not get notice until order is already in force). You can attach as evidence: a short sworn affidavit of tonight’s threats, any photos of dead animals, and/or a recording (legal in Ohio if you are participant to the conversation).

The court can sign the DV-CPO order the same day and it will be served to him as soon as possible by local PD/Sheriff (generally within 24-48 hours). The hearing has to take place within 7- to 10-day which is a temporary window for you. If he violates the order that it is an instant jail offense R.C. 2919.27.

Forms & on-line helper: olh-cpo-launcher (Ohio Legal Help).

You are not required to broadcast to your family that you sought aid. Every corner of reporting him is lock-and-key confidential—police, courts, shelters. The only way your brother learns is if he breaks the order and is arrested, at which point you have county-funded housing, legal advocacy, and a safety net already in place, and he has a history which is going to make it much harder for him.

Stay safe, and reach out to safe places if you need space.

This method is not a viable framework for investment decisions. It creates artificial precision through inconsistent historical comparisons and ignores gold’s own volatility and non-monetary role, as well as offers no actionable mechanism for real-world trading.

There is no way to trade the SP500 directly using gold, it’s not a functional modern currency on it’s own but rather a commodity. It requires an intermediate currency.

So interesting idea, and perhaps one some central bank of a country should create again, but not useful other than in abstract.
