Perfectly described - much kudos.

We still don't even see leaks of the unredacted Epstein's Files and that's the most egregious material possible to be illegally concealing.

Not like in the 70's when a Mathematics professor orchestrated the raid on an FBI office.

> people are still using the 'we had no backups' as an excuse?

Why pay someone with considerable practical experience when a kid out of an Associate's Program "knows computers"?

Survival of the Fittest, perhaps.

They could have set the QoS tag to the lowest level for capped welfare accounts but it sounds like they just wanted to be dicks about it.

Had they behaved decently it's unlikely NY would have taken notice. Maybe other providers will take notice?

I dunno, patronize a better company if you can find one. Higher prices will likely nudge customers to switch even if they don't know the cause.

This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.

Testing AI isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

NY is just doing their job* yet have to bitch about it. That's a clue about how well this will work out.

Given the pace of government it's not crazy to think that a two year old model will be certified as licensed and NY residents won't be allowed to use newer models.

The effectiveness will be as a jobs program for a few people. Or for a few politicians to take corporate bribes for a repeal.

* I haven't read the NY Constitution in decades ... "presumably"

That guy breaking his contracts and agreements?

How preposterous!

As a Conservationist I'm a big fan of game preserves.

Who at Nintendo is coordinating donations?

I have a preserve just a mile up the way from me.

As long as the US State Department is letting the "Chinese Spy" stay in the US we need to question the narrative

France wants the US to enter its war against Russia directly so it's trying to merge the Ukraine and Iran conflicts.

Ukraine already attacked an Iran boat to curry favor but backed off when Iran threatened missile strikes.

El Cheeto is participating by saying 'he' will blockade Iranian commerce in the Caspian Sea.

US has no assets there but Ukraine has long range drones and Flamingo missiles.

"Iran melted our ice cream" is a freebie to the DC Warmongers' narrative.

It'll help Macron get the ECB job he wants.

Feds: Chinese spy.
Also feds: Not revoking her visa.

Hrmmm.

From a cost benefit analysis he has spent a tremendous amount of money to pick up a modest amount of plastic. And he hit every problem that actual experts predicted would happen.

"plastic going into the ocean (via interceptors)"

The funny thing is people told him that would be more effective because people had already deployed river interceptors and they were effective, and it took years before his techbro ego let him finally do it. At which point he claimed to have invented the technology which was a lie.

> look at McCoy's face in the background of the car accident scene. That's the level of degredation in images in the PDF text format.

Holy smokes, thanks for mentioning that.

I figured the _text.pdf was just a merge of the pdf with the OCR text. Why in the world...

This seems to work:

```
pipx install internetarchive
ia download --search 'collection:starlogmagazine' --glob="*.pdf|*_djvu.txt" --exclude="*_text.pdf"
```

If you really wanted to you could get the raw OCR files and figure out how to recombine them ... I'll settle for grep.

Transfer speed seems to be capped at about 500KBps. Party like it's Frame Relay days.

Younger folks could engage in some real cultural anthropology of their grandparents' time.

The repo will just shrink as more packages take on some LLM patches. This doesn't make practical sense.

It's worth reviewing the ongoing battles between DeVault and Lunduke and you decide who is telling the truth. e.g. Stallman-report.org .

Just do a web search - DDG gets the headlines at least.
