There should be a headline like "Journalists Endangered by Presidential Visit"
LLMs are going to evolve into a position where being wrong sometimes and hallucinating sometimes won't matter, because organizations are already built to deal with it: managers.
Pretty wild to make that streamliner body and then stick the driver out in the breeze like an afterthought.
Are you aware of the "Multiple Clipboard" feature? Which is a deceptively simple productivity boost, a game-changer, a hidden gem in a sea of dark Windows patterns?
I imagine that "lawmakers" are going to find themselves more scrutinized, more surveilled than anyone else, because extorting them for information, favors, bribes and so forth will be much, much more lucrative than trying the same thing with nobodies like you and me.
This is an informal way of transferring state power from the people to "the cops," in the broadest sense of that term. It's the logic of the Mafia: If you have something on everyone, you have more opportunities to act through unwilling intermediaries.
Half-Life and Half-Life 2 together created an almost embarrassing number of indelible moments.
I've just finished playing one of the newer Wolfenstein games, and while it was enjoyable enough in the moment and very capably-done, it had occurred to me that none of it was memorable the way so much of Half-Life was memorable.
Half-Life 2 somehow cranked that "memorability quotient" up to 11. "Do NOT go through Rav--- "
Work on the bunker part got the green light, though.
On Thursday, the judge ruled that the Administration has to stop all aboveground work on the construction project until it receives Congressional approval. But his order permits the White House to continue construction underground, including on the military complex.
The shooting tonight at the Washington Hilton demonstrates the need to have a White House ballroom, President Trump tells reporters in the press briefing room.
So he's taking this opportunity to whine about his ballroom. As one does. Perfectly normal.
The WHCD is a private event, no affiliation with the government. It presumably would never happen at a White House ballroom.
They didn't include this in the release notes? What in the world is going on?
OK that's true, as far as it goes

I baked some rosemary-infused sourdough from the Hungry Ghost Bread Cookbook.
It's a pretty basic sourdough, with some olive oil and a gigantic amount of rosemary mixed right in.
- White bread flour
- 75% water
- 14.4% dried rosemary
- 12% starter
- 7% olive oil
- 3% salt
Starting with the as-written 840g of flour, 14.4% comes to 121g of rosemary. Dried rosemary. Which is more powerful, gram for gram, than fresh rosemary.
I failed to consider just how much rosemary this was when I started mixing up the dough. All the rosemary I had in the house, dried and fresh, came to just 20 grams or so. And I put it all in. The resulting loaf was, by my lights, powerfully rosemary scented and flavored. I can't fathom what it would be like to actually include a whopping 120 grams of rosemary. At grocery-store prices, 120g of rosemary would cost me $15 or more. I actually wonder if the 120g in the book was an error. But the book's fennel flavored bread recipe is similarly extravagant with the fennel.
I got the book as a holiday gift and I've enjoyed it. This loaf was among the best I've made. My family gobbled it up. I'm hoping to try some of the other ideas in the book: The fennel bread, the fig and sage bread, etc.
The National Guard never stopped patrolling the streets of Washington DC. The DC police has been placed under federal control. The president himself has called Washington DC "perhaps the safest" city in the United States.
If there's a "moment of national danger" happening under those circumstances, maybe it's not resources that are the problem. Maybe leadership is the problem.
