The Pooch of the PhilippinesNever Bring a Knife to a Gunfight: The Case for Civilian Bodycams
A viral road rage incident where a knife-wielding man inadvertently got himself arrested—thanks to the victim's wife recording him—proves you should never bring a knife to a gunfight. This bizarre altercation perfectly highlights a growing modern debate: is it time for everyday citizens to start wearing bodycams?
Troop 161 Sturbridge MassachusettsLaws Every Scout Should Know
Being a Scout means more than camping, hiking, and earning merit badges. Scouts are also expected to be good citizens who understand the rules and laws that help keep our communities safe and fair. While Scouts are not expected to be lawyers, learning about important laws can help them become informed and responsible leaders. 1. The Scout Law and the Law of the Land The Scout Law teaches Scouts to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, […]https://troop161ma.wordpress.com/2026/06/26/laws-every-scout-should-know/

Eric Maugendre on collectivesIf meetings don't deliver, change format.
Example:
Unlike COPs, the purpose was to "debate practical ways to move away from coal, oil and gas".
The representatives described the conference as a “safe space for discussion”. Said a rep: “That kind of space I haven’t seen in my 10-year history with the UNFCCC.”
The representatives have walked away with plans for three workstreams:
a. to develop national “roadmaps” to move away from fossil fuels,
b. to design new tools to address fossil-fuel subsidies – with support by the International Institute for Sustainable Development #IISD
c. to connect fossil fuel producers and consumers to address carbon-intensive trade – with support by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development #OECD

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKThe headline got changed from the URL - I was slightly disappointed not to read of reports or see footage of of #Sweeney style chases across #London on #MetPol #e-bikes against #MobilePhone #robbers on similar two wheelers
In reality all they are doing is using more #surveillance with #drones to catch some of the #thieves and shaking down others on types of #ebike that aren't legal for #UK roads (which the old bill was previously turning a blind eye to)

On the Impossible Safety of Large AI Models
Large AI Models (LAIMs), of which large language models are the most prominent recent example, showcase some impressive performance. However they have been empirically found to pose serious security issues. This paper systematizes our knowledge about the fundamental impossibility of building arbitrarily accurate and secure machine learning models. More precisely, we identify key challenging features of many of today's machine learning settings. Namely, high accuracy seems to require memorizing large training datasets, which are often user-generated and highly heterogeneous, with both sensitive information and fake users. We then survey statistical lower bounds that, we argue, constitute a compelling case against the possibility of designing high-accuracy LAIMs with strong security guarantees.
