A interesting concern I just thought about: security through obscurity trades advancing general human knowledge for security. I hope we don’t make too many trade offs.

Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people.

JM Keynes: “…The greater part of the rest were snatched out of my reach by a syndicate which hoped to sell them at a high price, prob- ably in America, on the occasion of the recent tercentenary.” Too bad Newton couldn’t study the tradition of America.

Why the commission in the NHL that sets rules doesn’t require players to have a cage or plastic shield over their face blows my mind. No excuse IMO. I played for years when I way younger and took pucks to the face. This can happen in any hockey game…

At least someone can read the writing on the wall (unilaterally messing with voting policies is very dangerous territory).

Pauly K back at it again to temper our expectations and keep us real: youtube.com/shorts/kGjMX...

The bus driver this morning was feeling himself! He had a little rock paper scissors contest with a dude in need of a bus ride. The rider lost and now owes the bus driver a Queen cover of “we are the champions.” That bus driver brought a big smile to my face.

Idk how Kalshi is even real.

THISS big hairy queen is LOAD-bearing!!!

i’m not sure whether normies and non-sports fans understand the extent to which right-wing weirdos are waging their culture war through the WNBA right now

I appreciate that Wharton has been consistently approaching AI and its use from a pedagogical perspective. I don’t know the history of the school, but the professors (Ethan Mollick as a specific example) have been creating content to learn from/with AI for yrs gail.wharton.upenn.edu/gen-ai-studi...

everyone always points this out when there’s a case like this but to be fair white men have a near-monopoly on family annihilation

I love my beautiful little “mini-mamdani’s.” I’ve got the whole collection at my house. Do you wanna come over after school and play with them?

We spoke of many things, fools and kings, and this he said to me… The greatest thing you’ll ever learn:

Best BS I came up with today: “the working class is called that because they love working so much!”

Nice! This needs to happen. www.reuters.com/business/pen...

This site has been indispensable for me; I am very curious as to how ML/AI works and this keeps me at the cutting edge of ideas from brilliant researchers across the globe (how cool!!!): huggingface.co/papers

White ICE car/truck followed and recorded by activist in St. Paul MN: reported to have been camping out on Burr St N, and knocking on doors on Burr St N and Tedesco St. They drove away after 10+ minutes of whistling and peaceful protest by community members and activists.

I think don't reinvent the wheel has never been a more important rule-of-thumb. That said, there has been WAY more things invented than the wheel since the beginning of time. And it seems like it'd be pretty hard to know even a small percent of that, even b4 considering what could possibly be made.

First "You're absolutely right" of the day. Feeling like a king.

Sean Combs Asks For Quick Trial So He Can Get To Part Where Trump Pardons Him

I try not to be too dogmatic of a person, however, some of the rules on this list are thought provoking: mitchhorowitz.substack.com/p/101-rules-... For example rule 13: “Beware the devastation of conflict; war must never be pursued lightly.” (Sun Tzu) Thoughtful advice for ALL forms of conflict.

It may not be a household name, but Palantir is now one of the world's most valuable companies. Its "spy tech" is set to gain more government and military work in the Trump administration. By @bobbyallyn.bsky.social

The cartoonish-looking salamanders have faced an uncertain future in the wild. But researchers hope that breeding axolotls in captivity and releasing them in the wild can help their numbers.

I cannot tell if my German ancestors coming to America was a good decision, or not: www.ft.com/content/679d...

I have used and contributed to lmsys loads of times; such a disappointment that the "leading" models on lmarena.ai are likely being gamed. Does not feel scientific, feels dishonest. SOURCE: arxiv.org/pdf/2504.20879 I want to say I am not surprised, but that might be my own biases. Any thoughts?

I'm getting my mind blown daily call that a warhead. Anyways, I just read this cool article from Doc Baird (www.wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2...) on the safety of radio waves: "We are continuously immersed in radio waves emitted by rocks, trees, dirt, buildings, pencils, watermelons, physics professors..."

The talents of humanity are unending: Researchers created nanoparticles that deliver mRNA instructions specifically to inflamed blood vessel cells. This restored protective genes, showing promise in mouse models for treating ARDS & atherosclerosis. Wow. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As a daily reader of arXiv, I love open research :) Two weeks ago I discovered Liberapay: nonprofit platform with team accounts that auto-distribute funds, ZERO platform fees, and supports 133 currencies across 113+ territories Sustainable funding without paywalls or deliverables. en.liberapay.com
