The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.

Deeply technical but satisfying thread on the specifics of computation and why an LLM that *frequently* arrives at the right number is not the same thing as a program that *calculates* the right number. Expect LLM boosters to pivot to "well, what even is 'addition' anyway?" shortly.

Nearly 2,000 French high schools are blockaded or closed amid massive student-led protests. The demonstrations began at a single school in the economically deprived suburbs of Paris, where students protested teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated school buildings.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

The reason this reads as so refreshing and even bracing: the publication is privileging truth over lies. The truth is known. The govt. is saying false things. The report *observes this fact and then asks what the implications are*. That is not common industry practice on the politics beat.

A UK research funder used LLMs to screen and desk-reject grant proposals with no human input, then (and this is the unique part) told rejected authors about it. I assume federal appointees in US research agencies are doing the same, though without the "tell people about it" bit.

There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

At the same time: it didn't hit the major networks or anything, bc farm worker orgs did NOT want to make a ton of noise. Bc their reality is every win brings a lot of backlash. Just, imagine what having an angry employer is like when you have no real rights & can't leave.

The context of *this* wave of visceral rage at rapists is that in the past decade we've seen them take complete control of the government, turn the entire economy into their ponzi scheme, gain trillions of dollars of exploited wealth. We've seen an opposition party abjectly fail at stopping them
