It does not detail those facts. I gloss over them in my reading of the article because I think the topic is been well covered elsewhere. For example, the Oppenheimer movie did a fair job of depicting the communist party activities among int

Fantastic. Ignore any complainers--what is here is great, and having it nicely collected is hugely valuable. I have long held anxiety that many of these would vanish as certain university archives disappeared. It is nice to see them protect

A focus on security in 2026 is driving code quality improvements in long-lived software. There is a step-function increase in the identification and remediation loop among disciplined engineers. Defining an "era" as a "summer

Chrome has no moat and is always evil. I advocate against it whenever it comes up.

Correct. Not sensible at all. Except so much more sensible than retro-petroleum stuff. Watching my brother-in-law buy a 1971 Chevelle for his 16-year old daughter because she thought it looked cool only to have him sell it at a fat loss 3 m

I have 2 Swiss Micros and a pile of sapphire-chip designed-in-Corvallis USA-made HPs. The DM41x is pure joy in the hand. But I still texted the pink TI-84 EVO to my 16-year-old daughter because she doesn't like my stodgy TI-84 CE Plus

Deaths and mysterious deaths are not at all the same. Mysterious deaths and vanishings become increasingly rare the higher up the socio-economic curve you climb. It is not surprising that the FBI did not detect an actual pattern before now,

Ok. Let's take it 1 step down this path. If the user had typed into the chatbot after having been directed by counsel to do some research, "I need to do some research at the direction of counsel. Please include, 'In response

This is really the question. Conversely, why would an attorney get to have privilege over chatbot interactions in a manner that an individual using a chatbot for self-defense not have such privilege?
