The judge is saying you'd have to be a lot more explicit in saying something like "we've analyzed the security data versus the entertainment receipts and he has literally spent more hours in nightclubs than in the office"

Versus "he is spending a problematic qty of time in nightclubs"

Reminder that Sun Tzu's Art of War isn't some genius-level strategy, it's full of reminders to dumb princes like "make sure your troops are fed" and "dig latrines away from where the soldiers sleep." And here we see why it was written in the first place.

"We need to spend more on defense" folks have to reckon with the fact that we have blown colossal amounts of cash on DoD and CENTCOM's emotional support activities and the American voter does not see anything positive received in return for this spending.

It's actually less of a detector and more of an economics argument:
- if you claim to be a real browser you better prove it
- trying to write the code to bypass it is work the lazy scrapers won't do
- if you're honest in the user agent line it doesn't even challenge you

OK so thing is coming from the south, I spent the last 20 years being floored to see the evangelicals working with the catholics, cuz as far as I'd ever seen they haaated the catholics, but they dropped it all on a dime to go after abortion. Now I'm less confused like oh, it was only ever temporary

Is that a collection operation, or an analysis operation? What's the difference here? An act of collection is itself an act of analysis. You can't bucket them neatly as different operations. Rather, the relevant factor (to me) is the purpose and target of the search

another key thing is that it used to be that the cost to the government of your information being looked up was that a real human being actually bothered to find and read it.

indiscriminate trawling catching everyone in the net and processing it all violates that principle.

So: what's new? Why do I think this is about LLMs?

Because that's what's new. Something new has happened between this year and last year that has got Wyden willing to raise the alarm. If I were an IC leader I would *absolutely* use them to search the information I could lawfully search

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

No, weird Republican podcaster, I don't actually want "my guy" to get away with it. If he embezzles public funds or gropes unconscious women, he is not "my guy." He's a piece of shit and I want him gone.

He gleefully declared himself "team TERF," posed for selfies with Republican legislators and happily palled around with Elon, but now he wants to act embarrassed about it? This wasn't just some nasty jokes, this was our lives, and the atmosphere he contributed to made them measurably worse.

The Internet Protocol v8 draft has several issues, but the most glaring is spitting in the face of Zero Implicit Network Trust and baking JWTs into the protocol.
Untrusted processes have network access, and IPv8 encourages treating them as authorized.

And a few hours later, a justice of the peace convicted Meredith in absentia on trumped up charges of lying on a voter registration form, sentencing him to a year in prison.

Segregationists weren't subtle about it. Their racist heirs still aren't.
