I'd watch a hitman movie about a hitman hired to covertly make sure the boss's incompetent son, also a hitman, finishes each hit successfully and thinking he's good at his job.

I'm still looking for infosec researchers who've published research outside of traditional academic journals (e.g., at a hacker conference or as a corporate report) for a research project. If that's you, send me a note. Ostrich for engagement.

Reposting this with alt text: Near as I can tell, you can't see a home Atlanta Hawks game from section 109 row 1 - the rows in section 109 are lettered not numbered. Not the case for the DC-area UMD Terps, who Catlin Clark put 38 on during the Feb 3 game. Their 109 has numbered rows.
Atlanta Hawks seating chart shows Section 109 has lettered rows UMD seating chart shows Section 109 has numbered rows.

I can't remember the FBI ever issuing a video statement to a cybercrime gang before. Officials have delivered the same message (turn yourselves in before we find you ourselves) at press conferences, but this feels different. Maybe because it's personal.

Russia's goals in 2016 weren't to use the US as an ally. It was to fracture and discredit the US draw our external attention inward, and punch Clinton in the nose in the process. Gains would have been significantly more modest if Russia had gotten its hands on the levers of the government.

Exceptional solidarity from ASU hockey players who have demanded their coach be placed on leave for essentially overseeing the murder of their teammate and have disputed the university’s findings. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...
Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

Trump's claim is that by increasing taxes on job providers, we can redistribute wealth to ordinary citizens. He's angling to be the biggest socialist in the history of the country.

One of the issues with AI is that specific communities of people only interact with AI through the things it's least suited to do - produce communications output on very few tokens without need for any kind of revision. Those people assume that bad at a thing that seems easy means bad at all things.

So, I used to listen to music for a living. I absolve you of having to be aware of music you aren't aware of. But I don't absolve you of not being aware of the fact there is music you are not aware of, large subcultures you've chosen not to be a part of or reasons to enjoy things you don't enjoy.

🧵New from the @cip.uw.edu election rumor research team. ⤵️⤵️⤵️ The conversations around two incidents in Utah and Texas follow well-worn patterns where false rumors and misleading narratives emerge alongside legitimate criticism of real issues involving election administration.
 A cumulative graph of the total number of Bluesky posts mentioning keywords related to the Utah mail-dumping incident. The yellow line represents the total number of posts up until that point of time (shown in Eastern Daylight Time), and individual posts from accounts with at least 20,000 followers are rendered. The posts are sized by the number of reposts (not counting quote posts) that they received. Three prominent posts are individually highlighted. The post from altnps (Alt National Park Service) was by far the most engaged post in our data, and is highlighted in red because it catalyzed an increase in conspiratorial interpretations substantially different from the other major reactions to the press conference. URLs and media attachments are noted in angle brackets.Figure 5: A cumulative graph of the total number of Bluesky posts mentioning keywords related to the Texas voter registration errors. The yellow line represents the total number of posts up until that point of time (shown in Eastern Daylight Time), and individual posts from accounts with at least 20,000 followers are rendered. These individually-rendered posts are sized by the number of reposts (not counting quote posts) that they received. Four prominent posts are individually highlighted. One of the four highlighted posts comes from an account with under 50,000 followers which does not represent a news outlet, so it was anonymized.

Something I haven’t seen really elaborated on in the discourse of Effective Altruists taking over everything from the AI industry to US national tech policy is that this produces a deeply insular intellectual monoculture that is dominant but isolated from other non EA-ist intellectual thought.
