Fans bet a grand total of ¥121,751,200 on a Haru Urara victory, an impressive sum, particularly for a horse that had not won once in more than 100 attempts. The race ended in disappointment, but not surprise: despite being ridden by Japan's premier jockey, Yutaka Take, Haru Urara earned her 106th consecutive loss, placing 10th among 11 horses running.
Google has released a feature that allows Gemini to access third-party apps, such as WhatsApp, even if you've turned off Gemini Apps Activity. Here's how to prevent that from happening.

I am blessed to have many friends all around the globe, yet very few are currently here. So yesterday I called the four people who are in the area, we got a pizza and we sat by the sea for a very humble and spontaneous celebration 🌻
Here’s one bit of wisdom after ¼ of a century as a human on planet Earth:
friendships are the most wonderful aspect of life 💕

What we know about LLMs and “Agents” today, in a Nutshell:
• The top 10% of your employees, people who are already experts at what they do, can potentially benefit from some tools like LLMs (but not “agents”), depending on the specific use case.

I don't know the percentages, but sure seems like a lot of the judges are just cookoo for coco puffs. I can understand the legal means to go after an EO, but they have zero power to reverse a congressional act. How do these people get their law degrees? Oh! I answered my own question - in a box of coco puffs apparently.

BRICS condemned Israeli-US attacks on Iran last month and criticized their attempts to “politicize and militarize” humanitarian aid in Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Evil would be the kindest possible word to describe this nasty corporation. UK govt should cancel the project thereby protesting all our data (NHS patient’s data).
I predict by may of next year most countries will adopt chinas stance and simply ignore the letters, calls and demands on twitter until he quietly caves.
@Nimbius666 Except Canada. We folded like a wet noodle. We expect to have a deal signed soon, and then restructured soon thereafter at the whim of Trump. Also expect decreased social safety nets, subsidies for oil and gas, and reduced taxes on the rich. As if we have a business man in charge of the country who thinks that taking people off government support is like retrenching employees. The fired ones disappear and profits go up.
It’s stunning to think that Mark Carney had a front row seat for the austerity shit show put on by the UK and decided that that sounds like a fabulous idea.

The US Army wants to introduce 3D printing of drones directly to the front lines. They are looking for options on how to effectively implement this idea. This is reported by the American portal Breaking Defense.
Yeah, I saw them in Philly like 5-6 years ago. Brent was getting increasingly agitated with the roadies in between songs. It got to the point where he smashed his monitor to pieces right on the stage. Guy clearly has some issues.
Wow, took them so long to get quote posts. A welcome addition imo (I know there's a lot of controversy around implementing it, but for me, I think I prefer it).
Oh, my understanding is that originally they didn't want quote posts because it could lead to a culture of people dunking on each other and a lot of negativity.
So I believe there was a lot of resistance early on against that feature. That's just what I've seen people saying whenever this feature was requested over the past few years. I could be wrong though.
To my understanding (please take with several grains of salt), some folks felt like it would encourage toxicity since you can essentially mock something someone said without saying it to them directly, while sending your audience to the original post, and I believe for quite some time the plan was intentionally not to add it
On the other hand, I've heard folks suggest that by allowing people to have their own isolated conversation about an idea you can potentially limit some of the harmful consequences of people with large audiences or something, but I don't remember the exact explanation
Personally I'm happy to get quote posts and I'm happy that mastodon is cautious about implementing features that facilitate hostile interactions in the way that major platforms do for engagement
Hopefully someone can chime in with a more informed/detailed explanation, but I thought I'd share what I know in case I'm the only one to reply 😀
thanks. Friendica has it and i dont see people talking down about it though. I also already seen people being that way (it was a conservative using #justsayin afterward, coming from another instance) on a reply, maybe just notify people of quote posts so its not something equivalent to be talking at their backs without them being aware of it, notification could help
I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.
This is fantastic. I REALLY hope you can set a control on a post that allows quoting to be disabled or only allowed by people you follow. A great step in the right direction.
This is the “Emergency Certified” Teacher Facebook group.
These people possibly have bachelor’s degrees, but in subjects completely unrelated to the subjects they will be teaching.
Common complaints are about the tests being too hard (they aren’t, you can memorize the questions on fucking quizlet).
My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary.
But no f-ggots allowed! Being a drag queen on the weekends disqualifies you to be a school principal now, no matter how good you were at it.
I am a relatively new teacher in Oklahoma. In my experience, the teachers I've worked with are a fairly mixed bag. There are absolutely amazing teachers working in Oklahoma that are knowledgeable and passionate about their content areas. I have also noticed a fair amount of teachers that are wildly under qualified or seem to only be in a classroom for the opportunity to take advantage of the system (frequently missing work, not actually teaching their students content, etc.) Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students. It is very heartbreaking.
"My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary."
I can relate to this. I'll be entering my 4th full-year teaching. In my short time working in education, I have become the most senior and qualified teacher for my subject and grade level. I do the bulk of the curriculum planning for my subject.
The politics injected into public education via State Superintendent Ryan Walters is absolutely disgusting.
Having problems getting my OPNsense router to talk with the internet service provider. I get a DHCP address from them to my laptop and desktop, but not to the router. Support guy recommended replacing the hardware and try with another router.
_"No Evidence" of Epstein Blackmail Operation Not Surprising_
The more "it doesn't make sense," the more one should suspect behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
FTA: When institutions and powerful individuals operate for long periods without scrutiny, they may be tempted to commit such outrageously corrupt acts that disclosing them to the people becomes an insurmountably difficult task.
For years there has been a lot of consternation about the refusal of federal agencies such as the CIA and FBI to disclose what they know about Jeffrey Epstein (as well as about the assassination of JFK, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the murder of Seth Rich, and countless other stories). Guys like me have also noticed how the U.S. government, including Congress, can’t ever quite seem to get to the bottom of the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
The truth of these stories carries incalculable liabilities—liabilities that would call into question whether the involved institutions should be allowed to continue existing.
Disclosing the truth could also instantly demolish the persistent naïveté that enables most people to maintain their allegiance to their governments and to believe the endless train of BS that we are told every day about everything.
I have experience with big liability cases. For a long time I investigated the mysterious deaths of Mary Mahoney on July 6, 1997 in Georgetown and Seth Rich on July 10, 2016 in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. The circumstances of both deaths strongly raise the suspicion of a political motive, but both were nevertheless chalked up to “botched robberies” by the Metropolitan Police.
Someone with power doesn’t want either death elucidated, and I was advised that pursuing my investigations would not only be frustrating and fruitless, but hazardous for my health.
