#Louisiana #NationalGuard to remain in #NewOrleans another 6 months

lailluminator.com/2026/03/02/n…

The governor said the National Guard’s extended deployment has the support of the #Trump administration, indicating the federal government would continue to cover the cost of its mission in New Orleans.

I’m wondering what circumstances would result in Zed getting their email in the first place. Is this the terms of services for Zed’s online collaboration features rather than the editor itself I wonder?
in reply to Misty

@misty well it makes explicit reference to the "AI" features, so it would make sense for it to be the connected features, but connected features kind of alarm me in a basic text editor to begin with. i do like live collaboration but i'd typically expect that to be in some fashion p2p…
in reply to mcc

@misty yeah they have a paid subscription thing that packages the AI stuff AFAICT zed.dev/pricing
in reply to damien 🥖🐈‍⬛🧣

@eramdam @misty There seem to be people getting the email who aren't paid subscribers but maybe they just sent the email to everyone they've ever got the email of through any method even if it doesn't apply mrrp.place/@b/statuses/01KJSBY…
in reply to Misty

@misty Quoting gram.liten.app/terms/ :

> Update, 2026-03-03: Actually it seems safe for me to take at least some credit for the updated Terms of Use (now Terms of Service, and seemingly only applying to the service aspects of Zed which have been removed from this fork). That's great, and impressively fast turnaround on their end unless they already had updated terms lying around. Everyone is better off now.

It does seem to be related to the "service aspects" of the app, yeah.

in reply to Whovian NineThreeSixNine

@misty On that note though, to quote later on...
> I cannot try to learn the source code, structure or algorithms underlying the Editor? I cannot create derivative works?

So the ToS itself seems to forbid, at least by *my reading* of the Gram blog post's reading of the ToS, you can't even really do anything with the source code of a FOSS app?

read the updates at the top more carefully; the 2026-03-01 blog post concerns a TOU document which was taken down on 2026-03-02 (possibly in response to the blog post)

By the way, TOS requirements similar to this one (seeming to bar otherwise legitimate use of the open source license) are why I still haven't set up Expo. Which sucks because that means I can't build Bluesky's android app (unless I write my own build system I guess)

@misty when zed first launched I think you needed an account to use it

they’ve since removed that requirement and also added an easy toggle to remove the AI stuff but anyone who used it when it was new probably has an account

in reply to demize

@demize @misty my confidence in this program is failing to increase as this conversation progresses
in reply to mcc

@misty does it help if I tell you the reason I stopped using it on my macbook, when it was running asahi gentoo, was because compiling it used more memory than my macbook has (and it has 32gb)
in reply to demize

@misty but really though it’s… fine? like I don’t have any reason to try to sell you on it, and I can’t even sell myself on it over VS Code, but I do see it as a point in their favor that they added a “turn off the already-optional AI integration” button despite the coding LLM integration having been a major selling point (to them…) since basically the start
in reply to demize

@demize @misty I am paying some Australians $70 every two years to make me a text editor and I am entirely satisfied with this relationship

Have you ever wished that you could live in a painting? An art student who once sketched on this hilltop was so taken by the scene that, fifteen years later, he returned as a successful Hudson River School painter to purchase it.

NASA Uses Mars Global Localization as GNSS Replacement for the Perseverance Rover


Unlike on Earth there aren’t dozens of satellites whizzing around Mars to provide satellite navigation functionality. Recently NASA’s JPL engineers tried something with the Perseverance Mars rover that can give such Marsbound vehicles the equivalent of launching GPS satellites into Mars orbit, by introducing Mars Global Localization.

Although its remote operators back on Earth have the means to tell the rover where it is, it’d be incredibly helpful if it could determine this autonomously so that the rover doesn’t have to constantly stop and ask its human operators for directions. To this end the processor which was originally used to communicate with its Ingenuity helicopter companion was repurposed, reprogrammed to run an algorithm that compares panoramic images from the rover’s navigation cameras with its onboard orbital terrain maps.

Much like terrain-based navigation as used in cruise missiles back on Earth, this can provide excellent results depending on how accurate your terrain maps are. This terrain mapping process used to be done back on Earth, but for the past years engineers have worked to give the rover its own means to perform this task.

Ingenuity: left behind but not forgotten. (Credit: NASA, JPL)Ingenuity: left behind but not forgotten. (Credit: NASA, JPL)
Because the off-the-shelf processor in the rover’s Helicopter Base Station (HBS) is much faster than the custom, radiation-hardened processors that control the rover, the decision was made to try the algorithm on the HBS, especially since Ingenuity was left behind after it fatally damaged its propeller during a rough landing. This left the HBS unused and free to be repurposed.

Repurposing such OTS hardware also provided a good way to check for radiation damage to such standard hardware that was never certified for high radiation environments. To validate reliability the algorithm was run multiple times on the HBS, with the results compared by the main computer. This found some discrepancies, attributed to damage to about 25 bits out of 1 GB of RAM.

By isolating these damaged bits, the algorithm could run reliably, while giving another nod to the genius of the Ingenuity program that enabled such new features with what was at the time an unproven and relatively low-budget side-project tacked onto the Perseverance rover.

Thanks to [Nevyn] for the tip.

“A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was ‘anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,’ according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.” - Jonathan Larsen

Oh, I bet.. when the kind of Christians that tried to do the right thing kind of like the clergy who ICE have been busy spraying chemical chemicals into their face or shooting pepper balls into their heads or throwing them to the ground..

Oh yeah, there’s going to be a bit of a reaction. I suspect those Christian nationalist are going to find out. There’s a different kind of faith out there.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @samiamsam what is scary to me, US actions in Iran have guaranteed a new generation of Iranians that hate America even more.

I knew it. They think they can bring about Biblical Armageddon, and that somehow it will work out well for them, instead of what it means to most people: the catastrophic end of the world!

I don't have the right vocabulary to describe these misguided delusionists.

in reply to Kim Possible

@kimlockhartga As I mentioned, I never ran across anything like this in my 21 1/2 years and that’s not to say it didn’t exist privately with some of these people but I’ve been out for almost 15 years and obviously, things can change. If assholes like the FOTUS can give the blatant racism and bigotry that was always there but kinda out of the mainstream its door to get out there, I could see this happening as well.
in reply to Brian Jopek

I am dying to ask my cousin's son, an Army Lt. Colonel* why he goes along with this. I fear he may have drunk the kool-aid, or at least had a few sips. The things people will put up with just to further their career. Also, intelligence apparently doesn't protect one from cultism. We used to have miltary discipline and professionalism, a commitment to being apolitical, and not to sabotage cohesion with religious fervor.

*at least, that's what his mom said. The last time I checked, he was a major. I guess he could have moved up that quickly. I don't always understand how it all works.

in reply to Kim Possible

@kimlockhartga Or they're just saying that. With this regime, it's hard to tell. I won't claim to know what the regime's own real motives are. But we know that front-line troops are being told it's a holy war.
