Guy who won't stop using spotify even when the CEO spends $600,000,000 on AI war equipment, because it's too much effort to him to listen to music literally any other way: We Won't Take This Any More! There Will Be A Revolution!

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Good way of doing this!
I calculated the 2024-25 NBA season's most and least consistent stars.
There are a few shockers (in a good way) at the top of the list! But see any similarities between the guys at the bottom?

Most interesting AI failure I've seen in the Gemini 2.5 era is that model's struggles with pyz7r, even when giving it the documentation. It will always recommend directly using .read / .readall on files despite neither of those being in the library.

Plus-minus is like astrophotography: Completely unusable raw data...but with a huge number of samples and precise error correction, you can see the universe.
Ok it's not that serious but you get the idea.
