If there’s one thing I can tell you it’s that you need to have these dumplings.
‘The truth, which Anthropic didn’t want to emphasize in the S-1, is that Q2, right at the height of tokenmaxxing was fantastic, but Q3, post tokenmaxxing and after the rise of low cost alterntive models, represented a slowing of their growth.’ garymarcus.substack.com/p/what-anthr...
And the freaking greatest thing I have ever seen: this intersection has a traffic signal that is set by DEFAULT for pedestrians and cyclists, cars have to activate to cross.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
(21/27) that location for very badly needed space. Bill also attacked our Great Republican Candidates, when he knows my Endorsement Record is 98% in the House, and 100% in the Senate, so how can he make a false statement like this? These Statistics are FACTS, and he should speak
Trump has played this video at every single one of his midterm rallies. Literally, directing the audience to look at the screens, and they just play this video
Besides it obviously meaning nothing, he always says it "came out a few days ago" and... you can see on screen it is from May...
One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
These guys are being pretty cavalier with their 501(c)3 status for people who keep having to declare bankruptcy because they’re ordered to pay out so many child molestation settlements.
Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇
Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate?
JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.
Q: You're offering 1% to whistleblowers for turning in what you're defining as fraud. The False Claims Act, which has been on the books since 1863, offers between 10 and 25%--
TRUMP: At 1% people will make millions and millions of dollars
NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG SAYS HE BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE IN GERMANY WILL MOSTLY WORK INSIDE A DIGITAL TWIN OF THEIR COMPANY, BUILDING DIGITAL CARS WITH DIGITAL BRAINS, WITH AI ROBOTS BUILDING ROBOTIC CARS INSIDE ROBOTIC FACTORIES
At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.
I’ve never seen anyone so clearly display the relationship between Limbaugh’s utter lack of any legacy beyond half-remembered smears and the right’s utter collapse into nothing but petty bigots

To CNN, DHS lied and claimed that Ms. Comans was fired because she "effectively laundered ... forbidden funding" and "knowingly hid this information from legal counsel" to undermine Trump's EO.
DHS now admits again that it "knew the statement was false at the time it was made."
The new press secretary just announced they asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign, but I’m not entirely convinced she was supposed to announce it vs just blurted it out
This is exactly what ICE said:
"Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck."
Now watch the video.
They're no other word for it: They're lying.
Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man.
The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!"
Agents didn't help him.
And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
