More and more I am seeing "I would never use it for anything creative but I generative AI seems fine for coding" and I wonder if people realize that coding is also a creative field and the generated code is also coming from scraped and plagiarized human code, please don't give coding a special pass

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Gallego: "You said…Trump never demanded you cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony?"

Warsh: "That is."

Gallego: "Someone here is lying then, it's either you or President Trump."

Firefox’s New Boss Has a Very Old-School Plan: 'Build a Better Browser' I spoke with Firefox's head, Ajit Varma, about why the company is returning to fundamentals after years of decline.

Today’s unwanted take:

When walking or biking, if a driver properly yields right-of-way, I give the little thank-you wave.
