These scumbags are going to be using nukes by EOY.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

This puts civilians in danger of being considered enemies. That’s why it’s a war crime.

If I ever meet the fool who put "Open Link in Split View" in the place that "Open Link in New Window" was in the secondary click menu in Google Chrome, I'm gonna have some choice words for them.

Having a very normal evening, using Claude to count dog poop bags with OpenCV.

Interestingly, neither ChatGPT nor Claude could one-shot this. The error was really significant, like 20% off at least. I'm walking it through step by step and it's still not quite there.

This is very frightening.
My spouse pulled data from the CDC’s MMWR team on a weekly basis for her company to include with public health reports. That entire team has just been RIFed by Trump.

No more public health reports.

11. The word "Sparrow" often appears in the names of social clubs organized around what game, as its name roughly translates to sparrow in English and the sounds of the game are said to evoke the birds' sounds?

On the train home this evening, a guy offered to give me half of his torta. When I declined, he turned to a couple and offered it to them. Turns out they were deaf and signed to each other, seeming unsure what was going on.

Dude immediately signs back, spelling out "TORTA".
