@tendstofortytwo noooo let me imagine the scenario where lewis gets a seat in the first-greatest city in the world: edmonton
kerry diotte resigns, lewis runs in edmonton-griesbach, wins the seat, him and mcpherson become riding buddies, the federal and provincial NDP goes to couples therapy and come out healed, and edmonton becomes FORTRESS ORANGE. the canadian democratic socialist revolution of the 2030s blooms forth from alberta
LET ME HAVE THIS
(still gutted about desjarlais losing there 😔)
congratulations @avilewis!
huge challenges ahead but also very hopeful for the revitalization
It's time to wrap things up! On Monday at 4 pm MST, I'll be streaming my PhD defense! Come one, come all!
The talk is titled "Toward a Science of Software Reverse Engineering".

Interview with Wang Yaqiu about how Chinese human rights groups can get support and funding in the current political environment
This has become a key issue after the Trump administration cut funding to organisations such as Radio Free Asia and USAID
https://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/media/how-be-chinese-and-progressive-2026
What does it mean to be a Chinese human rights advocate in 2026? Yaqiu Wang watched DOGE cuts gut reporting on political prisoners, refugee assistance networks, and labor rights work abroad, and argued in ChinaFile that the human rights community must urgently diversify away from U.S. government money. ChinaFile’s Jeremy Goldkorn recently chatted with Wang about the future of human rights work in China and how it will be funded, politics in the Chinese diaspora, women’s rights progress in China that is not captured by indicators, and how the internet and AI are challenging our notions of free speech. Wang exemplifies how being a Chinese person of conscience right now means navigating between two forces that both want to define you—and finding agency in refusing both definitions.
@bh11235 Exactly. I find that as soon as I know AI was involved in drafting something I have to approach my review completely differently (and usually it takes way longer)...
With your colleagues you know and trust they are experts, with AI that trust is broken
Reposting this article by @ericgeller, about concerns with AI usage undermining trust in threat intel, with alt text in screenshot: https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/ai-isacs-threat-intelligence-information-sharing-trust/815499/
The ease of breaking trust here with AI is the really key thing. There's enough noise and FUD in threat intelligence already
@EricLawton @Dio9sys Oh, interesting, I never really thought about this!
I count up to 5 in the Japanese way depicted in the video - start with palm out and fold fingers in, starting with the thumb as 1. Beyond 5 I either start folding my fingers on the same hand back out, starting with unfolding the thumb as 6, or I use the Chinese counting system.
By the way, there are regional variations in the Chinese hand counting system as well!
