The threat at the Islamic center has been neutralized. Media staging has been established as the Northwest Corner of Lindbergh Park. (4141 Ashford Street, SD, Ca, 92111) #SDPDPIO

My office and I are aware of and monitoring this horrific situation and will share updates as we learn more. Right now, I’m praying for any victims and I thank our brave first responders on the scene.

SDPD is on scene at the Islamic Center of San Diego in the 7000 block of Eckstrom Ave for a reported active shooter. Please avoid the area. Updates to follow. #SDPDPIO

This is a complete own goal. It would triple the amount of AI computing power that China adds next year - before taking into account illegal smuggling. And it would divert scarce AI compute resources away from U.S. firms. This will help China close the gap with the U.S. in AI.

Q: What was VB.NET's longest lasting negative impact on .NET? A: The introduction of CLS (Common Language Specification), which has no value nowadays but we use `int` almost everywhere that `uint` would have been a better choice because uint wasn't CLS compliant.

@aarnott Yup - in .net there is a norm of "Y should try not to break things across major versions because it will break X when users update Y" and binding redirects do the same. Still a little weird for people to be asking for a new X so they can use the new Y.

And given your (true) point, that's all the more reason why it isn't necessary for X to upgrade its Y dependency, because the app using X can upgrade Y and Y gets updated for X as well.

Why is it that when NuGet people have dependency X, which has a dependency on dependency Y, and Y comes out with a new version, that people expect X to ship a whole new version just to update the Y version it depends on, when as a consumer of X you can totally update Y yourself.

@aarnott @aarnott you should now have my 60 slide rant deck about this in your inbox 🤣

@aarnott I'm not saying they are 100% right to ... but it's because NuGet/.NET is not modular: 1) consumers of X see Y and 2) changing *my* use of Y from v1 to v2 also changes what version X uses - neither is the case in many other ecosystems.

This is really bad we desperately need transparency laws

My students asked me if it was true that the entire Internet was really coded by hand. All those kernels, protocols, router firmware, browsers, databases, etc. Somebody coded these and debugged them by hand?!?!? They used BBEdit?!?!??! The idea that this was even possible seems amazing to them. I can imagine some future Moon Landing like conspiracy theory that says it never happened.

0.1% of accounts on Polymarket make 67% of the profits. Among the top 0.1% of accounts in frequency of trades, 75% are profitable. But for the other 99.9%, the majority of accounts lose money.

The national debt was such a big issue in 1992 that a third party candidate took 19% of the vote only talking about that single issue. Today, no one cares and thinks it even exists.

Back and forth illusion The rows of blue and yellow rectangles move smoothly to the right at a constant speed; however, they seem to move back and forth from side to side. 往復錯視 青と黄の長方形の列は、一定速度で滑らかに右に動いてるが、左右に往復運動をしているように見える。

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

lol who did this.

Waymo is so good at saving lives that if it were a new drug in trial, it would hit the bar for being unblinded and made immediately available to the control group for ethical reasons. @MorePerfectUS would prefer to keep killing pedestrians.

Quite the midterm message: we can afford wars and ballrooms, but not your “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things”

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
