According to Likud run health services, Israel was reportedly struck by a missile, allegedly from Iran. No word yet on whether the civilians there denounce Bibi. Before you condemn, remember Iran gives advance warnings and was trying to strike terrorist tunnels

The paper I’ve been most obsessed with lately is finally out: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…! Check out this beautiful plot: it shows how much LLMs distort human writing when making edits, compared to how humans would revise the same content. We take a dataset of human-written essays from 2021, before the release of ChatGPT. We compare how people revise draft v1 -> v2 given expert feedback, with how an LLM revises the same v1 given the same feedback. This enables a counterfactual comparison: how much does the LLM alter the essay compared to what the human was originally intending to write? We find LLMs consistently induce massive distortions, even changing the actual meaning and conclusions argued for.

Gaza Relief Hands@handsforgaza25

On the last day of the blessed month of Ramadan, we wanted to leave a different kind of impact… one that carries joy in a time when such moments have become rare. 🤍 chuffed.org/project/165308… By the grace of God, we distributed Eid cookies to displaced families in Gaza, bringing small smiles to their faces and sharing with them the spirit of Eid despite the harsh circumstances. Inside worn-out tents, even a simple piece of Eid sweets had the power to revive a long-lost feeling… the joy of Eid, the warmth of sharing, and a hope that still lives in their hearts. This was not just a distribution of sweets, but a message of humanity that says: you are not alone. With your support, we were able to reach them and create moments of joy amidst hardship. With your continued generosity, we can bring even more of these smiles. Your contribution — or even sharing this effort — can bring joy to a family that truly needs it. chuffed.org/project/165308… Be part of this beautiful impact. 🤍 @SanaSaeed @willmenaker @ettingermentum @ByYourLogic @eyuplovely @Lowkey0nline @owenjonesjourno @SaulWilliams @Louis_Allday @iwasnevrhere_ @AssalRad

Meta is killing the Metaverse and laying off 15,000 workers. I wrote about why they might be investing in this boondoggle a couple years back at peak Web 3. Sometimes the mass of capital gets so large and stagnant the best thing to do is set it on fire… static1.squarespace.com/static/57682b5…
