So, there's something that's been driving me kind of crazy for a long time, and I think I finally understand the subject well enough to see what it is fairly clearly. What do people actually mean when they say "AI" nowadays? I'd genuinely love to get people's takes.

My partner and I are homeless and ill and it’s looking like we will have to try and relocate to another city tomorrow. We do not have shelter lined up. We have less than $100 between us. I think if we can raise about $300 we might be ok for a lil bit. Any help goes a long way. Thx venmo.com/u/bsoft

This is just straight-up Nazism. I don't want a single person to take the bait and mistake this for something about unfettered capitalism or austerity or anything like that—that is a pure smokescreen. The point is to crush independent thought and expression, and they will not stop here.

Based on what I've read so far, I think it's likely that the Prarieland proceedings could be remembered as one of the major American right-wing show trials, with particular resemblance to both that of the Chicago Seven in 1969 and the Haymarket Affair in 1886.

I'm really disappointed in this story from the BBC regarding the Prarieland trial—it strikes me as needlessly sympathetic to the administration's narrative, to the extent of being arguably misleading or obfuscatory. I wonder why. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pour a glass of Blanc Lime Wine or mix your own using Florida Orange Groves Winery! A perfectly crisp lime wine Key Limen Citrus Fruit Wine brings the bright, citrusy refreshment of a margarita, minus the tequila.

# The Art of Mime and Wine

If a mime were to break character and imbibe, the performance would be pure silent cinema. A mime's job is to exaggerate physical movement and facial expressions without breaking reality Mime. While the classic French mime might be looking for a Blanc Lime Wine to sip at an outdoor café, a perfectly chilled Key Limen Citrus Fruit Wine works just as well.

How Mimes "Drink" on Stage

* Exaggeration: The drinking motion must be deliberate—the tilt of the head, the imaginary weight of the glass, and the exaggerated gulp.

* Expression: A mime's makeup Creative Arts Theatre - Let's Play - Mime Basics highlights these movements so the audience can easily see the "refreshing" face from afar Mime in the Classroom.

* Sound: The audience uses their imagination!

apropos of relatively nothing, i think a nice way to think about (in Ruby) the syntax of `alias` and `alias_method` is as analagous to `def`; e.g. `alias_method :inspect, :to_s` is like saying "here we define a new method called 'inspect' that's just an alias of 'to_s'"

No, HIPAA does not protect these records. Here's why, from my preprint.
5.1.	The HIPAA Paradox: How Permissive Disclosures Are Exploited
HIPAA is widely, and often mistakenly, regarded by the public as an impenetrable fortress protecting all health information. In reality, the HIPAA Privacy Rule is a complex regulatory framework with numerous exceptions that permit the disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) without a patient's consent. State and federal actors targeting transgender healthcare have become adept at exploiting one of these critical exceptions: disclosures for law enforcement and administrative oversight purposes.
Under 45 C.F.R. § 164.512(f), a covered entity is permitted to disclose PHI in response to "an administrative request, including an administrative subpoena or summons, a civil or an authorized investigative demand, or similar process authorized under law".  This is the precise legal loophole through which the Attorneys General of Tennessee and Missouri drove their investigations. By issuing a CID—a tool authorized by their respective state laws for investigating Medicaid fraud or consumer protection violations—they could demand vast quantities of patient records, and the targeted hospitals could argue that HIPAA permitted them to comply. This mechanism allows state actors to circumvent the need for patient authorization or a court-ordered warrant, as the administrative demand itself is deemed a sufficient legal basis for disclosure under the regulation.
The critical and often overlooked nuance, however, is that HIPAA permits but does not require disclosure in these situations.  The regulation provides a legal safe harbor for a provider who chooses to comply, but it does not compel them to do so. This distinction is paramount, as it places the ultimate responsibility for protecting patient privacy squarely on the shoulders of the healthcare institution.
