Beyond the talking points, a thicket of complicated policy issues loom.
The politics are even more complicated.
Some state lawmakers don't fully understand the system.

trump’s antifascist EO explained by Alejandra Caraballo
“It feels like the legal framework for a dictatorship. But before you panic, we need to understand what this order is and, more importantly, what it is not.
Most importantly, it is asking the domestic federal law enforcement apparatus, which has been wholly gutted and demoralized, to suddenly pivot to yet another directive.
The goal was never to win every legal fight, but to make the fight so costly, so toxic, and so exhausting that these institutions would eventually buckle, self-censor, and lose their will to resist.
This overarching strategy is taken from fellow travelers in the authoritarian project in Russia and Hungary where Putin and Orban have gutted and dismantled civil society to enable their strongman rule without meaningful challenge.”

Yesterday, Trump signed the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). If you’ve read the text of it, you’re probably scared. That’s the point. The document is a masterclass in intimidation, dressed up in the language of national security.Alejandra Caraballo (The Dissident)

The image features a black background with white text centered in the middle. The text is divided into four lines, each presenting a distinct statement. The first line reads, "A fact is objective information." The second line states, "An opinion is a personal belief." The third line says, "Ignorance is a lack of facts." The final line concludes with, "And stupidity is a rejection of facts in favor of opinions." The text is in a bold, sans-serif font, making it easy to read against the dark background. The overall layout is simple and straightforward, with no additional images or decorations.

The image features a black and white photograph of a man with a serious expression, wearing round glasses, a suit, and a tie. The man is positioned on the right side of the image, with his face partially obscured. The left side of the image contains a quote in a serif font, attributed to Aldous Huxley. The quote reads: "People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." The background is plain, emphasizing the text and the man's image. The overall composition is simple, with the quote and the man's portrait being the main elements.

Melancholy is not a disease, it’s a luxury.
It means you’re not fully anesthetized yet.
That your brain still works, even when it hurts.

Why did OpenAI train GPT-5 with less compute than GPT-4.5?
Due to the higher returns to post-training, they scaled post-training as much as possible on a smaller model
And since post-training started from a much lower base, this meant a decrease in total training FLOP 🧵

"On Friday, IT security expert and hacker Janik Besendorf, with the support of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), filed a lawsuit against the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) at the Administrative Court in Wiesbaden. He accuses the authority of unlawfully processing his biometric facial data and presumably also passing it on to third parties for trial runs of biometric facial recognition.
According to the CCC, the lawsuit specifically targets a cooperation between the BKA and the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD). The Wiesbaden police authority is alleged to have misused nearly 5 million facial data records from the Inpol-Zentral (Z) police database and transferred them to the IGD without legal basis. The images were used as test material for four new BKA facial recognition systems.
Besendorf, whose facial photo was entered into the INPOL-Z database in 2018 after being processed by the identification service on charges of trespassing, feels that he has been unwittingly turned into a test subject. According to Netzpolitik.org, Besendorf wants to wait until the proceedings are concluded before potentially requesting that his photos be deleted. This is to prevent evidence from being destroyed."

Today in Labor History September 27, 1943: The 4 Days of Naples uprising against the Nazi occupation began in Naples, Italy. The uprising began days before the allies arrived and it successfully disrupted the Nazis from deporting Neapolitans en masse, and from building an effective resistance to the allied forces. It was a fairytale uprising, with only 1,600 rebels going up against 20,000 Nazi and Italian fascist troops, with little time to plan, organize and collect weapons. They were able to quickly muster enthusiastic support due to the intense poverty, repression, and mass executions that residents had suffered at the hands of the fascists. 168 rebels and up to 96 fascists died in the rebellion.
