Frankie has kicked off their first migration,* and every wingbeat is a four-on-the-floor pulse, carrying them south toward warmer waters. Chicago gave the world house music through the pioneering DJ-producer Frankie Knuckles, and now it’s sending his namesake fledgling out into the world too. 1/2

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

Have you seen a robin yet?
When I was growing up, my mom would spend early March on the lookout for robins. They were, she told us, heralds of spring. Spotting the first robin out on the lawn was the first sure sign that winter...

For about $2.5 billion a day, we could provide a $500 per month UBI to every American — adults and kids. Poverty would be reduced by 65%. Child poverty would drop by over 80%. Extreme poverty would be essentially eliminated. Inequality would drop by about 20%. We can do/be so much better than this.

Ominous bird valentines.
A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

people often don't know what's relevant to doctors, and a good doctor's job is to know what follow up questions to ask to get to a correct diagnosis and course of action. chatbots just can't do that www.404media.co/chatbots-hea...
When the researchers tested the LLMs without involving users by providing the models with the full text of each clinical scenario, the models correctly identified conditions in 94.9 percent of cases. But when talking to the participants about those same conditions, the LLMs identified relevant conditions in fewer than 34.5 percent of cases. People didn’t know what information the chatbots needed, and in some scenarios, the chatbots provided multiple diagnoses and courses of action. Knowing what questions to ask a patient and what information might be withheld or missing during an examination are nuanced skills that make great human physicians; based on this study, chatbots can’t reliably replicate that kind of care.

In some cases, the chatbots also generated information that was just wrong or incomplete, including focusing on elements of the participants’ inputs that were irrelevant, giving a partial US phone number to call, or suggesting they call the Australian emergency number.
