Feel free to ignore if it's not an appropriate thing to ask, but I am curious what, if anything, you tell your kids about the support you get, and why is needed in the first place.
I've been wondering what this whole generation of children are learning about the ways their communities and governments support, (and fail to support) them.

🇺🇸 Estados Unidos cierra oficialmente la USAID porque "la agencia hace tiempo que se descarriló", declaró el secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio. @Irinamar_Z 🇷🇺Telegram
La imagen muestra un tweet del Secretario Marco Rubio ([@]SecRubio) en su cuenta de Twitter. El tweet está en inglés y español, y se refiere a una broma que Rubio hizo con el Presidente ([@]POTUS) sobre tener cuatro trabajos. El Presidente le dijo que le diera uno a su amigo [@]RussVought47, a lo que Rubio accedió. Desde enero, Rubio afirma que han ahorrado a los contribuyentes decenas de miles de millones de dólares al transferir un pequeño conjunto de programas esenciales al Departamento de Estado, y que USAID está oficialmente en fase de cierre. Rubio felicita a Russ Vought por supervisar el cierre de la agencia. El tweet incluye una traducción al español proporcionada por Google Translate.

"There Is (Still) No Ethical Use of AI" by my brilliant colleague @melikhovo

There Is (Still) No Ethical Use of AI
In March 2024, I wrote a post declaring “There Is No Ethical Use of AI”. My point was not that you should not use AI.matthewcheney.net
The article makes it seem like it was a badly worded statement! Instances can do registration by approval, so they can use whatever mechanism they want to do age verification if they choose to; and, admin notes let them store the info on profiles if they want to. So, it's still up to each instance to choose whether to comply, but their framing as reported was unfortunate. I asked Andy Piper if they could release the statement (or some public sttaement), he said they're working on it.

A imagem mostra um gatinho de pelagem cinza e marrom deitado de costas, com os olhos fechados e uma expressão de relaxamento. Ele está deitado em um lençol azul claro com desenhos infantis, incluindo símbolos e letras. O gatinho parece estar em um estado de profunda tranquilidade, com as patas estendidas para cima. Sobre a imagem, há um texto em português que diz: "estou cansada de dar um jeito queria que as coisas já chegasssem com um jeito dado." A imagem transmite uma sensação de paz e desejos de que as coisas sejam mais fáceis e prontas.

"RBC calculates affordability by measuring the % of median household income required to carry the costs of homeownership. Nationally, this figure has dropped slightly to 55.1%.
… In Vancouver, ownership consumes an astonishing 92.7% of income.
In Toronto, it takes 68.3%.
Even Ottawa & Montreal sit far above historical norms. … symptomatic of a housing system where costs have decoupled from household earnings."
