ALERT: Bodycam footage released shows a black man trying to run over police officers before being shot and killed, as the family hires George Floyd's attorneys, claiming they failed to de-escalate before killing him. Chicago police were chasing a car, driven by Derek Jordan, which they believed was involved in a shooting earlier in the morning. Jordan tries to ram his way out by smashing into a bus and the unmarked police cars surrounding him. Police then warn Jordan that they will shoot if he does not exit the vehicle, and when he does not comply, an officer then shoots into the car, hitting Jordan. Jordan was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased. Jordan's family has hired the legal team from George Floyd's case, Romanucci and Blandin, and they stated, “They had him surrounded. At that point, stepping back and de-escalating was the right thing for officers to do. They had time and space to control the situation, but instead they escalated it and used a level of force that was not needed in that situation.” The officer who shot Jordan was stripped of his police duties days after the incident and was transferred to the department’s Alternate Response Section, which hosts police officers who are facing disciplinary action or not medically cleared for duty.

God shes so fat now

A lot of the debate on AI and science focuses on whether LLMs can generate *new* ideas. Yet 20–80% of existing papers are never cited and presumably not read. By digesting vast uncited literatures, LLMs may meaningfully advance knowledge simply by absorbing *old* ideas.

this is an argument i will never get. "it's deserved" i didn't do shit to get born here. it's not deserved. it's luck. and most people are unlucky as hell

Keir Starmer: At the next EU summit, I will set a new direction for Britain. The last government was defined by breaking our relationship with Europe. This Labour government will be defined by rebuilding our relationship with Europe — by putting Britain at the heart of Europe.

Take your age. Do 73.8 - age. That’s how much you have left statistically.

Yes, your rent went up. Seattle rents are up over 45% in the last 15 years. And wages haven't kept pace. Homelessness is a policy failure, not an inevitability. We know what works. We just have to fight for it.

This is the single most massive factual error in a major book I've ever personally noticed on my own, and I think I'm the first person to notice it? Empire of AI asserts that a data center is using 1000x as much water as a city. In reality, it's 22% of the city's water.

“wE dOn’T wAnT dAtA cEnTeRs!” 🤡 Guys, you can’t uninvent something. AI is here. It isn’t going away. If we don’t lead the world in AI, another country will. What does America look like when China or Iran or any other country supersedes us, and their tech runs circles around ours? People who want to slow down AI believe they’re doing good, but they aren’t. You think you’re saving jobs or keeping energy costs down or whatever altruistic ideas you have that motivate you. They are all wrong. In reality, they’re just shifting the power balance to countries that will never play by your rules and giving them the upper hand. We must lead the world on this. It’s non-negotiable.
