we are now in the era of building a thing only to find that the thing you built was built by someone else and you're 2M tokens worse off than if you'd just Google'd it first. 😆

I recommend @duckduckgo.com's email protection (it's free). I create bespoke email addresses for every site and service that asks for one. it has 3 huge benefits...1/i don't worry as much when a company gets hacked, 2/i can filter their emails in my inbox, AND... 3/i know when they sell my email

Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)
Tennessee v. Garner: Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a police officer may use deadly force to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect only if the officer has a good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.

Rep. McCaul chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, regularly discusses chip policy, and just bought heavily into ASML in June. Curious timing...esp given how central $ASML is to U.S.–China tech tensions. Worth watching.

After voting FOR “big beautiful bill,” which included new restrictions on gambling loss deductions, NV Sen Grassley and Cornyn now working to roll them back. I expect this is the start of a wider effort in Congress to quietly undo parts of the bill and recover some of what they gave up.
