GOP PACs in MA resorting to clumsily trying to reverse-psychology dem-aligned households into voting 3rd party against Healey by darkly warning about how socialism is awesome. Best of luck with that, fellas
Maura Healey is a liberal.
But Andrea James is a super liberal.

There’s something funny about a fancy half-speed master of a record made up from samples of records that were themselves decidedly not fancy half-speed masters, but it sure does sound good.

222. Perceptron free energies and microscopic jamming. Determines finite-temperature variational
free energies for Gaussian Ising perceptrons with bounded Borel log-potentials and Gaussian spherical
perceptrons with bounded continuous potentials, at every positive pattern density. A spherical exten-
sion treats bi-orthogonally invariant disorder with compact limiting singular-value distributions and
no outliers. At margin −1, the quadratic-penalty spherical model has a sharp feasibility threshold and
limiting gap and force laws, with system size, zero temperature, and critical density taken in that order.

I like this Bain five year AI "revenue projection" Josh Marshall dug up because another way to gloss the red bit is "stuff the models are either bad at or not obviously very helpful for" talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bain-...
a bain chart of 5 year revenue expectations for 'AI' to make current investments pay off. around $2B is the stuff they currently make money off of and then $4.2B is "physical AI" and "autonomous everything" and "new product development" aka the "what if they really are AGI against all current evidence and can just do whatever???" category

this from @ftrain.com is terrific, unsurprisingly, and I think this sentence actually understates the issue; it's not just that the big labs are in a hurry, it's that they don't see producing useful and well-documented tools for using these models as an important part of what they're doing
I don’t blame the coders for this, or even the bosses. I blame the big A.I. companies, who are in such a hurry that they often release new versions of their models and tools without manuals or even clear YouTube tutorials.

here's a thing that weirded me out a quarter century ago (actually before that, after the 1993 bombing). John McPhee, _The Curve of Binding Energy_, 1974, p. 221
"The placement of an explosion--where it happens--is what matters most, and that depends on purpose. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were exploded eighteen hundred and fifty feet in the air, because the guess was that from that height the bombs would accomplish the most damage through shock, fire, and radiation effects. A low-yield bomb exploded inside one of the World Trade Center towers could bring it down. The same bomb, if exploded outside, would perform erratically. The Pentagon is a hard target, because it is so spread out. A low-yield bomb exploded in the building's central courtyard would not be particularly effective. To crater the place and leave nothing but a hole in the ground, a full megaton would be needed"

Another recall campaign, TSB10062408, targeted blended brake behavior, requiring all 2023–2024 Ocean models in the U.S. and Canada to receive a brake software update to correct the problem. In January, 2025, Reuters reported Fisker was under an investigation for loss of braking performance on the Ocean, and once again, it was a software issue. However, it never led to a recall because Fisker had filed for bankruptcy and the NHTSA had no new information or access to the company to mandate a fix.
