Well, Arc removed Manifest V3 from the latest binary, so I guess I'm finally completing my full migration to Zen (I've been using it on Windows and Linux but not Mac)

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

its important to express our appreciation for those around us as often as possible, because once they're gone, our feelings can turn into a curse that follows us until we're gone too.

woke up after four hours to my finger itching. two blood stains on my wall later i am safe but tired. i wish i didnt have to go to the office today.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I think underrated in this is the SV “entrepreneurial” psyche, which selects for folks who consistently choose to be on the side of what they expect will be the likely winners. A world of weak-minded opportunists. The greatest lie they tell is their preference for those who cut against the grain.

there is a special place in hell for tech bros like Gebbia who were relatively normal liberals and for some reason saw Trump’s descent into unhinged fascism and was like “you know what, sign me up, this looks good to me”

second night in a row SFPD has beat the hell out of a bunch of trans people on pride weekend. fuck this shit. fuck Daniel Lurie, fuck SF politicians for pretending they're so progressive and good to us then send their goons to beat us up during pride.

The truth is that San Francisco municipalizing their electricity system and breaking off from PG&E doesn't hurt anyone in the rest of California. PG&E's business hurts people in California. The lack of CPUC action to effectively regulate PG&E hurts the people of California.

The Trump admin appears to have quietly revised language in an obscure grant program, redefining frozen embryos as children. Repro health experts described the move as “a Trojan horse” — creating a precedent that could threaten access to fertility treatments like IVF and ban abortion nationwide.
