@Pinboard Oh thank goodness! Much appreciated!

@NickStoler Google has been blocking some of my outbound email; I'm sorry for the late notice. Your archive is still in place, and I'll go run a backup for you this afternoon.

@Pinboard I somehow missed the archiving renewal notices and got a final one this morning saying it was expired. I just renewed now; is it possible to preserve my archive? Also, the archive download button is broken and I've sent a few emails asking for one; could I get a copy?

@HelicoptersofDC Ooh amazing! I was wondering if they were getting a replacement. N911DC is a cool number so I'm glad they're keeping it alive.

@HelicoptersofDC And now I can visually confirm the tail number is indeed N2171C. Looking at the FAA records for this and N911DC, it looks clear it's the same aircraft; they just changed its registration number for some reason. I wonder why?

@HelicoptersofDC Does MPD have a new helicopter? globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a1d601

@HelicoptersofDC Ohh, looking closer at the FAA registration for N2171C, it does say it's an "N-Number Change" record, with the "Pending Number Change" as 911DC. I don't know if that means they're changing N911DC to this number or if they bought a new one and are switching its number to N911DC.

@Gortiz345 @HealthEquity Nothing @HealthEquity loves more than fees! Make sure you spend it all before you close your account!

Just found out @HealthEquity will charg me $25 to use up all my money on my HSA account. Pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve been charged to close an account. #hsa #fsa

@NickKocher @BriTANicK The phrasing of "a little stone boy" is just great

I test Brian’s hypochondria. I honestly am still laughing about this. @BriTANicK

@HelicoptersofDC @PoPville This guy's been circling northern DC all morning its transponder off. I wonder if it has to do with Zelenskyy being in town?

@budice0 @brianna_ashby Even better, youtu.be/Wijp4-3giNw

@WriteOnSteph @YourAwayMessage A decade has passed without anyone pointing out that this is a tie dyed tie.

@YourAwayMessage My high school boyfriend got his tie dyed to match my dress. #YAMprom #prom2008

@NoVaPTmom @chrisdgraham22 Seems right globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=~2784e1

@chrisdgraham22 Probably just for an Arlington national cemetery funeral?

Fighter jets just scrambled out of Patuxent River Naval Air Station or Andrews AFB, in MD near DC.

@DavidRimshnick @docmilanfar I'm not sure why more people aren't pointing this out. It may be wrong - I'm not an expert in neurology or AI! But even if it's wrong, it seems like a natural misconception and I was hoping to hear more knowledgeable people talk about why!

the only people I’ve seen dismissing this insightful article are ones who don’t seem to understand compression very well the only surprise(?) is that it took a skilled writer and thinker, instead of one of us researchers, to make the case crystal clear newyorker.com/tech/annals-of…

@depthsofwiki Apologies if you've done this one already but commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Herd…

@vlordier @SashaMTL Thanks, I hate it.

Number 3481 of things you should *not* use generative models for : forensic sketches 🙈 (I'm not sharing the direct link to the code for this, but it's not that hard to find, either..)

@andrewleefinkle @maustermuhle Yeah this sounds indistinguishable from a phishing scheme. "Enter all your most sensitive info here and you'll get $30!" I'll bet it's legit, but they need to give way more proof that it is (and maybe don't ask SSN!)

@maustermuhle Little hesitant to enter my soc. Did you have to enter it to make the claim?

Random D.C. experience I recommend: checking to see if you have any unclaimed property! Hear me out. The city's CFO keeps track of any unpaid wages, financial claims, refunds, etc. that might be in your name but you never claimed. You can check here: dc.findyourunclaimedproperty.com

@SGgrc Re: Diceware, I don't know why you think 10 words are necessary. I use 6 and my Lastpass vault would still take half a million years to crack on a GPU, even with iterations == 1 (luckily it's not 1). And it's not harder to remember or type than a regular password.

@dcskycam @HelicoptersofDC That looks like N927M to me

@HelicoptersofDC Spotted 🚁 Unknown over Mt. Vernon Sq.

@steffanwatkins @ZaesADSB There are subtle ways things can change without everyone noticing. My main concern is if they "discover" a new revenue source: billionaires and companies who'll pay to quietly keep their jets off the map. That's not simple to detect.

@ZaesADSB But, why would they stop feeding, until something changes?

#ADSBexchange has been sold. No, I don't know what this means for the open source community in a big picture sense. If they put it behind a paywall it'll be a huge loss to the open source community, but they'll also lose their feeders, so I doubt they will jetnet.com/news/jetnet-ac…
