As a detective who has investigated heaps of CSAM cases, I am comfortable stating that this bill is total bullshit; a civil rights grab of the worst and most fascistic kind, cravenly disguised as “for the children”.

✍️ Stick to boring architecture for as long as possible: https://addyosmani.com/blog/boring-architecture/

Before adopting a new architecture or tech stack, ask yourself: Does it solve a specific problem for users, the business or developers? Is it worth the learning curve and potential instability? Is this going to help us further down the line?

Llama 2 is out and it seems like it's ranked the top in the open-source #llm leaderboards.

Unlike LLaMA 1, you can also use it commercially (with a few restrictions), so I guess there will be a lot of stuff build on top of it soon.

Sometimes I think about the fact that I am probably the Only Black Friend for some of the white people in my social circle. Not sure how to feel about that.

That's why I'm so militant all the time though. Because I need to educate you motherfuckers.

Has anyone seen the actual letter?

Regarding section 371:

Conspiracy statutes give prosecutors a wide net.

From a long time defense lawyer Mark Reichel (my former mentor at the federal defender's office):
