I don’t know how these things usually work as there was no indication in any of the articles how the successfully media handled it. It seems crazy there would be such a knowledge gap.

Feels pretty obvious that seating would be limited and coveted, and there was contact information in the announcement for “more details”. If I had no idea how to get an invite, I’d have written that email May 15th. But maybe there’s more to the story than either side wants to tell.

Oh. I don’t know anything about this. Is it weird for an app to be pulled from all of these sites? Do they have a way for the original developer to take it down if they want or some kind of flagging? Does your new phone have a higher Android build, maybe the site checks somehow to match with the right version and then fails? Wild guesses

Without experienced legal counsel, facts, science, and emotions could rapidly begin to make sense.

So true.

But the fact that so many stores have dropped it recently, though it’s clear they once had it, may mean something, idk.

This article explains it better. First of all there are plenty of black owned media companies, more than one in Atlanta who were denied credentials:

The NNPA represents the 197-year-old Black Press of America, which counts among its more than 230 newspapers and media companies, The Atlanta Voice, Atlanta Daily World, and the Atlanta Inquirer. The popular Rolling Out magazine also counts among the Black Press’ members frozen out by CNN.

However, they were apparently all denied based on the Jun 7 deadline.

CNN implies the deadline was stated in their announcement of the debate on May 15th but the only deadline mentioned is for polls determining which candidates could participate.

President Biden and CBC and Rep. Meeks lobbied CNN for Black media inclusion after the denial.

This is a great article describing the multipronged, multiagency, do science, make laws, buy land, empower stewards approach necessary to save species in the face of increasingly fast-paced changes to natural spaces. A small sign of hope, but just think how many people are involved and fighting for love of life on this planet.

Omg, this is amazing. Ok hear me out, you think bribes are expensive, but at local or even state levels they can be very reasonable, so here’s what we do is GoFundMe for legislators, where regular people bid money into escrow for a certain rep’s vote and if they do it, they get the cash. Of course people of wrong opinion can also bid so it’s not guaranteed to get you what you want, but you can collectively at least make it more expensive for them! Normal bribery requires all kinds of relationship development and professional lobbyists to make sure it’s works right, so it’s available only to the well funded few. Post-vote bribery is open to all and cuts the smarmy middlemen.

I know you’re appalled, but consider how out of touch most reps are from their constituents. They are told all day long by these lobbyists that you don’t really hate genocide or that you really count on them to keep drilling for oil. Here you can tell your real values to their face with money, the same arbiter of truth those billionaires are using. Not for a campaign, but for a specific vote!

Typically, a school district would require book challengers to go through a formal challenge process in which each individual book would be assessed for merit. Instead, five minutes after receiving the demands, Perez agreed to them.

It’s easy if you don’t give a shit.

My mom learned not to feed deer as a kid: “it’s really cute until there’s no more carrots!”

I would try that

This is really interesting to me from the angle of why do some species coexist with humans in suburbs, etc, but others are pushed aside by development. I’m sure there are many factors, but I think sound is a big one. I wonder if it’s possible to teach a population of a skittish species to be comfortable with suburban life over a few generations.

Yah, it’s a weird statement because part of the problem with golf is their willingness to pour energy, water, fertilizer, poison, etc, into an unsuspecting environment to enable their sport, so it’s an example of how the rich think they will buy their way out of climate crisis. Needed a stronger statement.

There was no sympathy whatsoever on display among the players or media, so they are not the audience anyway. The audience is us and the statement is be disruptive because you don’t need friends like these.

The school argued they were not a charter school. The judge disagreed. So whether a charter school can be religious wasn’t really considered.

Hong Kong?🇭🇰

The fact that Republicans are pushing this shows their total disregard for the health and lives of women when pregnant. Like it or not, emergency abortion is one of the reasons women (especially those who want babies) don’t die in childbirth like they used to.

Not saying you’re wrong, but just to add, [this article] (https://www.opb.org/article/2022/11/18/demolition-plan-of-four-klamath-river-dams-moves-forward/) gives a good account of the issues with several dams along one river. The electric company saves money by demolishing compared to building required fish ladders. They were already expecting less and less power from the dams due to low water levels, which may be drought or competition with irrigation. The dams only accounted for 2% of the electricity they sold, so I’m not sure how big the replacement project will be, if any.

One thing to note is that activism like this does normally happen in “spurts”. The legislative cycle is very long and most projects that eventually achieve government backing also require a lot, even matching, private money. Backers may go through several rounds of hype before catching the attention of a big local family or other donor that makes the whole thing plausible enough for the government to act on.

Is it a decrease in new solar or are people tearing panels off their roofs? Could it not be partly saturation? But also the new flat rate electric bill there doesn’t depend on usage anymore, right, so the incentive is completely messed up?

We automatically decompose a long generated answer into factoids. For each factoid, an LLM generates questions to which that factoid might have been the answer. The original LLM then samples M possible answers to these questions. Finally, we compute the semantic entropy over the answers to each specific question, including the original factoid. Confabulations are indicated by high average semantic entropy for questions associated with that factoid.

It sounds like they verify one LLM’s answer by getting a second one to ask the same question over and over again in slightly different ways and see if it’s answers stay the same, interesting over each piece of the answer so that essentially the original prompt is exploded and then montecarloed.

Nearly half who were removed [during post-covid eligibility audits] were able to reenroll, the survey showed, suggesting they should not have been dropped in the first place.

These are people who have no funds and no recourse. If it takes months to re enroll, that’s months without healthcare, including residential facilities and home health services Sometimes food and shelter programs are also tied to Medicaid eligibility.
