I agree entirely with Rich.

We need urgent community action to stop this incredibly ableist plan from moving forward.
The DOE has ruled that new federal buildings don’t have to meet accessibility standards.
That will mean many disabled people won’t be able to work in or access these places.
They’re literally excluding us from as many facets of life as possible, because they have a eugenics plan.
Call, email, speak out!
Accessibility is not a “nice to have”. It’s a legal right. It’s necessary for our survival.

The US Department of Energy has decided that section 504 just isn’t a thing anymore, so it’s fine actually for recipients of their financial aid to build handycap-inaccessible buildings with our tax dollars.
If you disagree, leave a comment! There is one day left.

Zero percent chance this stops with the Department of Energy. I will say it louder, for the folks in the back: if you have a disability, the Trump administration wants you dead, and is taking direct action to ensure your death.

This is one thing LLMs are pretty good at. Give them a transcript, explain what it is and ask to fix. Much faster than a human. Still requires manual review afterwards, but LLMs can usually do 80% of the work.
For harder cases, Google's Gemini models (both flash and pro) support audio input natively, and they're better at transcription than Whisper in my experience. More prone to hallucination when the quality is so bad that even a human has trouble understanding, but overall better nonetheless.

Was, wenn morgen Faschismus ist?
Heute sprechen wir über Faschismus und das hoffentlich zum letzten Mal. Wir wollen wissen, was wir tun können, wenn der Worst Case eintritt, so wie wir es in den USA live miterleben. Was ist das für ein Leben im Faschismus? Wie wird man ihn wieder los?
Edit: Link korrigiert!
Wieder hinterlässt der Podcast von @afelia ein Gefühl der Hoffnung in mir. Es ist mir ein dringendes Anliegen, euch alle zu ermutigen, diesen Podcast zu unterstützen.
Mir hilft es ungemein, meine durch die Nachrichten der Welt immer in grausamen Dystopien laufenden Gedanken neu zu sortieren und in eine bessere, hoffnungsvollere Richtung zu lenken. Danke dafür.

This felt too valuable not to share. Braille-labeled maps of washrooms to help people find and use facilities in the washroom. Everyone deserves to get in, do their business, wash their hands, and get out in peace and safety.

OK, I'm sold on multi-agent LLM systems now. I've been pretty skeptical of these until recently: why make your life more complicated by running multiple different prompts in parallel when …Simon Willison’s Weblog
I have a slight "unease" with the term "agent."
Not for the usual reasons, but because it encourages thinking of agents like we think of employees. Something you have a limited number of, difficult to hire/fire, can only do one task at a time etc.
A better way to think about them would be as (graphs of) ephemeral tasks / jobs, like in Celery, Sidekik and such. In this model, LLMs are essentially an autoscaling pool of compute that those tasks can always tap into.
This way of thinking gives you features like parallel sub-agents, checkpointing, crash recovery or surviving system migrations / power outages for almost free.
@miki I think the term "agent" is mostly unusable, because if you ask five people you'll get five different (potentially *wildly* different) interpretations, and often people will have a weird confidence that THEIR definition is the right one which everyone else shares when it isn't
In this case Anthropic opened their paper by clarifying the definition they were using ("LLMs autonomously using tools in a loop"), and I'm fine with that
Oh my god

Statement on ICE Activity in Thousand Oaks.
"Statement from Mayor David Newman Regarding ICE Activity in Thousand Oaks
14 June 2025
Your city government is scrupulously nonpartisan and laser-focused on local matters. Despite frequent calls to do so, we don't comment on outside issues. When outside issues come to us in Thousand Oaks, however, that's another matter.
Yesterday agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted operations at multiple locations throughout the City. This is now a local issue.
ICE actions here and around Ventura County have caused fear, uncertainty, and confusion among residents, espeically within immigrant communities. Local businesses were closed or short-staffed out of concern for the well-being of staff.
This unease speaks to me personally. My immigrant grandparents fled pograms. For human rights advocay, my Ukrainian grandfather endured arrest and exile to Siberia. And it is hearbreaking to hear my in-laws -- first-generation immigrations who faced ethnic persecution -- worry about detection on our streets.
If you are feeling afraid, help is available. If you need counseling or legal advice, call 211. Interface Services, which the City helps support, can help you identify the appropriate agency to assist.
If you see anything you think is dangerous, call 911 immediately.... (more)"
