A dark green hardcover book titled 'A Mathematical Introduction to Logic' by Herbert B. Enderton, with the title and author's name printed in gold lettering on the front cover.

When the cover looks like this, you know it's going to be banger.

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody instead of a bum, which is what I am.

this is why the reddit BuyItForLife community exists, and also, it’s really annoying that I now have to do a ton of involved research to avoid buying crap whenever I need new boots or an appliance.

Testimony is evidence. Testimony is evidence. Testimony is evidence.

EFF is Leaving X After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Space stuff is cool.

We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff.

Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran.

What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?

I would *love* to see examples of things in this vein that work well for folks. I keep wanting to experiment with Claude for this but haven't found the time.

Men will literally reclassify entire job sectors instead of going to therapy.

When Flock Comes to Town: Why Cities Are Axing the Controversial Surveillance Technology Flock Safety surveillance equipment is appearing in neighborhoods across the country. I spoke with experts about the tech, laws and privacy issues at play.

“The idea of keeping a location dossier on every single person just in case one of us turns out to be a criminal is just about the most un-American approach to privacy I can imagine."

Ah man, sorry Josh.

I always assumed this was a bug!

it's valid to not trust software that has been hastily thrown together by overconfident, error-prone neural networks (that nobody really understands), often to satisfy a bunch of hype-driven investors who can't see beyond next week

in other words, most of the software ever written

So urgent I can't read my skeets for typos, even.

Cry/laughing as a handle an urgent filing from Hawaii.

Does sonnet v opus work better than just using opus with clean context? That’s really interesting if so.

Everyone saying that Professor X is cringe forgets that he created a paramilitary force made up of child soldiers.

“We got to move these … featureless boxes. We got to move these color teeveeeeeeees…”

And everyone thinks that gargoyles are creepy and weird. Hiro is embarrassed when he does it!

It is very funny (to me) when I get recruiter emails anonymously recruiting for partner positions at what is very clearly my old firm.

Fifth Circuit Vacates FTC’s Cease-and-Desist Order Against Intuit, Holding Internal Adjudication of Deceptive Advertising Claims Unconstitutional: seems pretty bad!

Yeah, I think I’ve have seen some of those approaches, but I tend to live on the liability side more than damages.

Disparate impact analyses in employment as well, iirc

Nbd, I sort of expected that. I’ve just never had to do real data analysis in litigation, although I guess damages experts do some fairly simple stuff at times.

I’m curious what kind of matter you were doing analysis for, if you can share.

For “data,” yes. Or PDF printouts of the same.
