The Revolution will be AI-icized
are anyone else’s kids disturbed by the idea of the tooth fairy? my six year old lost a tooth and requested we place it on the counter downstairs because he doesn’t want the tooth fairy to enter his room, and my three year old outright told us to keep the tooth fairy away from her

One nice thing about foraging compared to other hobbies is that no one spends $10,000 on stuff for it

Winners in the Building at the SAG Awards last night! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cloud nine.
I always love a David vs. Goliath story. Fascinating to hear how a UK start-up called tem. Energy is using AI to take on energy industry giants and make clean energy easier to access. Here’s more from Holly: bit.ly/4gW5dn3

This one is in my top 5
Have had this on my wall for many years. Thank you!

Need recs for some great (fairly linear) single player campaigns. Love Uncharted, Indiana Jones, God of War, DMC, Dishonored, Spiderman, Control, Horizon, Alan Wake, Stellar Blade, Dead Space, Space Marine 2. Looking for shooters, adventures, hack n slash, anything that isn't overly RPG.
I think explained this problem really well. I genuinely hate “going viral” here 🙃

Typically good thread/summary by Mark, showing again that first, most SCOTUS cases are not about the huge issues that get attention, and second, perhaps because of that, the Court sometimes divides in unexpected ways.
No new grants—but a lot of action—on the Supreme Court's orders list today. First, Thomas renews his call to overturn the Feres doctrine, which bars servicemembers from suing the government over injuries "incidental" to their service. (I think he's right.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
JUSTICE THOMAS, dissenting from the denial of certiorari.
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA or Act) makes the
Federal Government liable for tort claims to the same extent as private individuals, subject to certain enumerated
exceptions. 28 U. S. C. §§2674, 2680. In Feres v. United
States, 340 U. S. 135 (1950), this Court created an additional, atextual exception for claims based on “injuries incident to military service.” Id., at 144. The Court has never
articulated a coherent justification for this exception, and
the lower courts for decades have struggled to apply it. The
result is that courts arbitrarily deprive injured servicemembers and their families of a remedy that Congress provided them.
As I have said before, we should fix the mess that we have
made. See Clendening v. United States, 598 U. S. ___ (2022)
(opinion dissenting from denial of certiorari); Doe v. United
States, 593 U. S. ___ (2021) (same); Daniel v. United States,
587 U. S. 1020 (2019) (same); Lanus v. United States, 570
U. S. 932 (2013) (same). Because this case cleanly presents
an opportunity to overrule, or at least limit, Feres, I would
grant the petition for certiorari.

Bottom of a thread of commentary by on the new sync spec. The proposal means new writes can be verified with much less storage, leading to cheaper relays.
i look forward to see how the knock on effects of this play out. my hope— cheap sync makes end applications more on-spec and coherent w/ the network. sync will be better specified, fewer rough edges. cheap relays make the network more multiparty. that is exactly what we want to see. 10/10
