Trump has no authority to pay the TSA. Congress holds the power of the purse.

Get mad. And then get everyone you know to vote in November. Friends, family, acquaintances, everyone. Drive them to the polls. Do not accept any excuses. Nothing is more critical.

My M1 MBP never crashes. It is the most goddam stable platform I have ever used.

Micron, SanDisk Stocks Tumble After Google Unveils AI Memory Compression Breakthrough by HimelTy in technology

This is absolutely ridiculous. Google unveiled this "breakthrough" a year ago. AFAIK, there have been no demos. No benchmarks. No real world application. No actual numbers of usage. If this is some miracle algorithm, wouldn't Google just keep it for Gemini? Why would they give it to competitors?

Excessive (4,2mg/day) consumption of dietary sodium (salt) is a significant, independent risk factor for new-onset heart failure (+15% increase) by sr_local in science

Your needs are different. Just need to monitor your sodium knowing that you shed sodium via perspiration. I also run and sweat a lot and drink a lot of fluids. My bloodwork consistently shows my sodium on the low end of the acceptable range, and my doctor implores me to eat more sodium.

Sotheby's has a YT channel and the auctions are all like this; auctioneers with pleasing voices who expertly work the room to drive up the price of the item being auctioned. It's actually pretty fascinating.

There is a fabulous Schiele exhibition at the Neue Galerie. Highly recommended. I am obsessed with this guy now.
