Now we have virtual comment! Ken Abreu with the Sierra Club says the project is overall very good. He likes that it's tall and dense, but recommends more open space. Ultimately he says we have a housing crisis, and that we should try to get more units onsite. Based.

I can't describe how beautiful tonight's murder of crows against a red sky was. I'm kindof emotional about it. 50% speed. Narrative video in next post 🪶

A regrettable sign of the times, but it shouldn’t be misreported: they aren’t restricting most CS papers. They are restricting ONLY review/survey papers and position papers, which weren’t common in CS anyway prior to the AI onslaught. No new restrictions on CS papers consisting of original research.

If you're thinking "Wait, why does a house that's worth $3.9M only pay $1,447 per year in property taxes?" Contrast that with a house down the street that's worth $3.4M and pays $36,591 per year! That's California Prop 13 (1978) at work!

this should count as an intentional walk

jojo here: let me be frank. i'm looking to unseat susan collins in maine, and im asking for your support.

beginning to think test cricket's time limits are very reasonable

It’s a big day for fans of baseball, or as the rest of the world calls it, “American Cricket”

Color commentator: I'm out of facts!

Sunk costs aren’t a fallacy damnit

forming a strong opinion about intentional walking only minutes after learning about the concept

As I’ve always said, it’s not really a baseball game until the 16th inning

is this a baseball game or a cricket match

Great moments in Halloween costumes, today in San Francisco.

have you seen the new python package? it's on pypi. you can literally install it with pip. set up a venv. grab it with poetry. you just use rye. run it with pipx. you can install it with uv. install uv right now. go to uv. dive into uv. you can uv it. it's on uv. uv has it for you. uv has it for you

Whoever decided that ((-1) % 5) == -1 in C needs to be sent to the Hague for crimes against humanity

Senator called. Tuned in to the Senate livestream.

Just did this. (I live in Becker's district.) Said "please vote yes," and they took my surname and phone number.

Just called! His lines are empty, they didn't even ask me to hold and it took me less than 3 minutes.

Duty of candor to the court suggests “frenemy”

New paper from me, @chinmayisharma.bsky.social and Parth Nobel about all things open AI systems.

Thrilled to share that Unbundling AI Openness, my article with @alanrozenshtein.com and Parth Nobel is forthcoming in Wisconsin Law Review! It introduces a framework of "differential openness" to correct the oversimplification of AI as either "open vs. closed." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Not building housing screws young people, pushes them out & tanks future economic success. We need to make it easier & faster to build the homes we need for a bright future. Our current vetocracy need to change & we’re working to change it.

@alanrozenshtein.com and co-authors @ptnobel.bsky.social (Ph.D. candidate, Stanford University) and Prof. @chinmayisharma.bsky.social (Fordham School of Law) have published an article on @ssrn.bsky.social, "Unbundling AI Openness," forthcoming in Wisconsin Law Review (2026). z.umn.edu/AIOpeness

This is what hes referring to btw. He thinks the property on the left has more character than the right.

🚨 Urban Stats 28.0.0 🚨 The mapper is now completely redesigned by me and @spudwaffle.bsky.social, allowing for much prettier looking maps and way more customization alongside significantly more options for geographies! See below for some of the examples of the maps you can create!

This is incredible.

Insane thread. Worth a read

The supreme court should be an annually rotating panel of circuit judges from all circuits. We should not have a fixed SCOTUS.

Release 0.15.0 includes many improvements to the marimo editor's AI integration such as dramatically simpler configuration (switch between local and hosted models with a single click) and custom model setup for chat, code editing, and autocompletion.

So, rather than fighting back against the Trump admin, @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com is focused on giving them new internet censorship tools because some idiot made a parody video of her on TikTok.

Is there any update on when the 2025/26 COVID boosters will be available? Influenza is out now.

Honestly like they never feel magic to me, it never breaks my sense that they're identifying a task from a prompt then doing normal ML on that task

Baby otter doing baby otter stuff!

When we went on long car trips as a kid, we had a tape player. One of the tapes that we played on long trips was the 1991 Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection, which featured Poisoning Pigeons in the Park and the Masochism Tango, by Tom Lehrer. Losing Lehrer makes the world a less happy place.

We could never build this much dense housing in Marin

Apparently the wave of resignations and layoffs at the Washington Post got rid of all the people who know that Jeremy Corbyn was never the U.K. Prime Minister.

Genuinely mindbending!

Juxtastat DAU update! Crazy how we've been >1000 every day for over a year now! Thank you all for all your support, and make sure to keep spreading the word!

It's also how MechaHitler—I mean Grok—can satisfy the EO, since its system prompt is on Github. (8/9)

Just read the new "woke AI" EO. It's…surprisingly better than expected, once you get past the culture war bloviating in Sec. 1. Here's what it *actually* does. (1/9) www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

impossible regulations with discretionary enforcement are best understood as a cudgel to compel behavior from corporations (laudatory or derogatory depending on who’s holding it)

One time a retired State Department official told me that he believed cryptographers are all lying about the security of golden key encryption because they're all anti-surveillance libertarians.
