When the Democrats bring out Liz Cheney and George Bush to argue against the republican budget you know they have nothing.
They COULD run on cutting waste from the budget but they double down on no cuts.
They WILL get elected and possibly take over the house and senate in the mid-terms because the progressives with the letter R by their name cannot deliver.

1. How long before it is a terrorist offence to say Israel is a genocidal state?
2. How long before saying anything critical of Israel is legallly antisemitism?
3. How long before even revealing a company's complicity in genocide is a hate crime?
3. Where are all the free speech absolutists now?

It's true.
“The way these models work is they try to predict the most likely next sequence of text,” Crivello said. “So it starts like, ‘Oh, I’m going to send you a video!’ So what’s most likely after that? YouTube.com. And then what’s most likely after that?”

One AI assistant learned too much from the internet and ended up "rickrolling" a client instead of sharing a tutorial video.Amanda Silberling (TechCrunch)
@robinadams “The really remarkable thing about this new age of AI is, to patch it, all I had to do was add a line for what we call the system prompt — which is the prompt that’s included in every Lindy — and it’s like, don’t Rickroll people.”
This is the thing I keep trying to impress on people about indiscriminately trained LLMs. We don't "fix" them by actually correcting them, we just slap muzzles and blinders on them. But they still "want" to do the wrong thing and "find" ways to do it!

Israelis 'Flooding' Into #Cyprus to 'Buy Anything In Sight' 24 mins
Dimitri Lascaris travels to Cyprus to investigate reports in the Israeli and Cypriot media that Israelis have been 'flooding' into Cyprus and 'buying anything in sight'.
In the course of his investigation, Lascaris visited resorts and other business that quietly cater to an affluent Israeli clientele.
Lascaris also examined the little-discussed fact that the earliest Zionists viewed Cyprus as a stepping stone to the colonization of Palestine.

there are a few HEMA clubs that I go to that don’t bring up any affiliation one way or another. I enjoy it because these clubs have a culture of leaving differences at the door in order to just fight and train with each other. Christians, queers, nerds and jocks, there is mutual respect to just get together and learn the art.
It does appear HEMA has more progressive practitioners than other combat arts, but I also personally know many fighters that identify as conservative or independent that just keep to themselves so its hard to know what the demographic is truly like overall. In my opinion, it does you no good to only fight people that ideologically agree with you. You improve the most when you fight as many different people as possible and I think there is nothing wrong with trying to be friends with people of walks of life. Jesus ate with criminals, outcasts and deviants. All were invited.

The main event in Ubuntu 24.04 is GNOME 46, it you improved notifications, that can be expanded, or collapsed, and they'll now show a little symbolic icon next to their title. More interesting, you get experimental support for variable refresh rate. It's not enabled by default, you'll need to use dconf to turn it on.
Fractional scaling also got better, with fonts now looking less blurry and properly aligned when using fractional scaling, and you can now login to a GNOME user through RDP, instead of having to remote into a session where someone was already logged in.
Nautilus, the file manager, now finally lets you edit the file path by clicking on the path bar, it will also search faster, and through the entire filesystem by default now, file transfers are now moved to the sidebar, and you can also change a folder's icon from the properties panel of that folder. Finally, you also get a new option to change how dates are displayed.
The main system Settings changed a bit as well, with a new "system" page, default apps have been merged into the main "apps" settings page, which also includes the default actions you can configure when you insert removable media.
The mouse and touchpad settings now let you configure how you trigger the right click, and there's a new mouse test page to make sure these settings work for you. You can also turn off the touchpad when typing.
The GNOME Online accounts also received some love for its backend: it now uses the default browser for authentication into accounts. You can also add a WebDAV account, or a Microsoft Personal Account as well, which will give you access to your OneDrive storage straight from Nautilus.
Ubuntu 24.04 comes with the kernel 6.8, the latest available right now. The main thing in here is the new P state drivers, meaning your Intel CPUs will be able to hit their advertised boost speeds, but also that using it on laptops should yield better batter life, whether you have an AMD or Intel CPU, especially since Ubuntu 24.04 now uses better power profiles based on these new P State drivers.
Ubuntu also moves to Netplan, a network management tool that shouldn't change anything for regular users that just connect to wifi, but will definitely improve the life of people who have to create complex network configurations.
For gamers, you're also getting a better experience here: the virtual memory mapping limit was increased by a factor of 16 in 24.04, meaning that games that could crash at launch, or after a few hours of play time will no longer do so, at least if the crash was related to them trying to grab a lot of memory. It's a change that Arch also recently made.
Another interesting change is that all services that are affected by a library update will automatically be restarted, to ensure that these services will be running with the latest security fixes apps one, there'slied. It's more important for servers than desktops, but it's a good change, that you can disable if you don't like it.
