Nope. They just announced Monday will be the last day. So, Trump Immunity and NetChoice together on Monday. Everyone enjoy the last weekend before the horrors that will unleash.
So, Monday will likely be both NetChoice... and Trump Immunity (unless they decide to kill me with ANOTHER decision day).

Are Microsoft changes going to be enough? We will check when they roll them out. But the important lesson here is that public security research made a difference here.

Microsoft says they are making a bunch of changes to Recall to mitigate the many, many security and privacy problems that researchers have found over the last week: www.theverge.com/2024/6/7/241...

If you feel like listening to a simpler “book read by the author” experience, make sure to read @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com ‘s Norse Mythology. It’s perfect for folks who know a little bit about the norse gods but wanted to dig a bit deeper. It has a great encyclopedic style. Loved it.
You should definitely do this. As a huge Sandman fan I couldn't imagine how they could adapt it to audio but they're far and away the best audiobooks I've ever listened to. Absolutely stunning cast, beautifully written (obviously, it's @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com) and keeps all the magic.

The measure would require the regents to set up a department to hear grade challenges based on bias. That department would be staffed by volunteers who could determine there was bias and could order the faculty member to regrade the student’s assignment or reevaluate the student’s overall grade.
Students could get grades changed over politics under Arizona Senate plantucson.com Legislation approved by Senate would give university students a new avenue to appeal by alleging "political bias". Teachers could be ordered to change grades.

Everyone stop what you're doing and go see if you are eligible for public service loan forgiveness. Studentaid.gov. Getting this program to work is one of the best things the Biden administration has done. Take advantage.

NYT leads this piece with Natalie Brumfield, who agrees with the state supreme court’s ruling, and she’s the only woman quoted who is supportive. What they don’t disclose is she’s a lifelong, fairly prominent antiabortion activist. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/22/u...

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
