"Why did my case get dismissed?"
"Well, we filed everything on time in the federal electronic CM/ECF system and the judge received the pleading in his inbox, but this particular judge orders a physical copy delivered to his office by 10 am the next day. We did that, but when we delivered the courtesy copy it was three hole punched at the left hand margin in the standard 9/32" hole size and not the oversized 12/32" hole size."
BTW this screen shot is from a 22 page document. I don't know why we still have standing orders like this in 2026.

@UrbanDashboard @firstadopter A Berkeley that has disruptive protests about radical anti-establishment positions? Seems pretty on brand to me
English

@markankcorn @firstadopter Didn't used to be like this, though. This is a Berkeley I do not recognize.

Imagine protesting and silencing Jeff Dean. Uninformed idiocy.

@RobertMSterling I’ll put on my American flag bikini and join you.
I’m a worthless fighter but good for morale

@RangerSyl @MitchMacVicar @ChefGruel Oh ok sure so absolutely he needs to knock over a cyclist instead — and then proceeded to do exactly that over a double yellow

@apoorvdarshan @elliotarledge Tmux or Zellij would work for this, also the happy coder open source project

@MitchMacVicar @ChefGruel They are complying with the law. Just go around. Share the road and don’t be an asshole
English

@ChefGruel Do these cyclists expect you to go 20 - 25 mph for miles until there’s an opening. I hate this crap

@jjreeves Please do! An onsen tour has been on my list for years. Did you do any hiking between them?

Since you seemed to appreciate my pics from the oldest hotel (ryokan) in the world, Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, here are 4 more. If you want to go, rooms are pretty reasonable ($475 for a higher-end room) considering that the stay includes an unbelievable multi-course private kaiseki dinner and breakfast.
Driving is your only option - it's 3 hours outside of Tokyo and trains don't go there. Fortunately, renting a car is not difficult - the hardest part is making sure to get your international driver's license from AAA (it's just paperwork, though). Hertz partners with Toyota Rent a Car so you can book through them. And you're RH side of the road.
The drive is wonderful. You will almost certainly see native monkeys when you hit Hwy 37 along the Haya River. We went in November which I highly recommend. Its a little chilly but the leaves are changing color, weather is cool in Tokyo, and our room included a large onsen (natural hot spring) tub on the balcony overlooking the river. Taking tea or a little sake in a warm tub on your balcony with crisp autumn air, listening to the river run is definitional zen.
The service is unparalleled. You sleep on futons on the tatami mat floor that the staff set up for you while you are at dinner. Best night of sleep I've ever had in my life. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and went on a jog along the river in near-pitch dark. A troop of monkeys and I all startled the shit out off each other but we never actually saw one another.
The staff was so kind that I swear to god I got a little misty-eyed when they bade us farewell. We were only there one night, and we drove on to Kyoto.
If renting a car is too intimidating for you, no problem. Public transit to other equally stunning ryokan options in Hakone or Lake Kawaguchiko are available. Hakone Ginyu ($750/night for the best room on the property) is not as old as Keiunkan, but it's definitely a bit glitzier and you are smack in the middle of tourist hotspot, Hakone - one of my most favorite places in the world. We did the Fuji View hotel for a half-western-half-ryokan experience in Kawaguchiko, and it was a reasonable $244/night for a upscale ryokan-style room with a breathtaking view of Fuji from the balcony.
I can give a little more detail on Fuji and Hakone too.

@ItsMattsLaw But do you have your own crypto token that is used for paying tuition and class rankings and submission of all exam essays on chain

The iron law of AI labs is they all go closed weights eventually

Wow TML really *is* taking a different approach from the other AI labs

@signulll Unified app is incoming. They’re just figuring out how to steer the Codex sessions on your laptop/desktop from the phone and then Chat is just a mode inside Codex
English

it is very interesting that openai has to build
& grow another brand now (codex) that’s more professional & tied to work as opposed to chatgpt which is very much consumer land.
since codex is intended for work & enterprise (which requires sales) it may not be an issue since it doesn’t have to grow organically as much.
i’m curious if they ever combine the two in some way. obviously codex code is likely the basis for the new chatgpt app(s) / 90% shared code or whatever.
anthropic does have a much cleaner story here although not as large of a consumer base.

@binarybits @mpopv 20 stories is nothing. Hong Kong laughs at that and the Bay is far more important than HK
English

@mpopv I have had this thought. The Alameda Seaplane ferry only runs about once an hour most of the day. That's insane! They should turn that whole area into 20-story apartment buildings and have a ferry that departs every 10 minutes.

true story. nice meeting you, Jason! 🇺🇸
