Hard agree on this. At this point it's time for way harder penalties on DUIs. There really is no excuse.

Honestly the fact that near-universal accessibility of rideshare services has done nothing for DUI fatalities says something incredibly damning about this kind of offender Whatever we do to them needs to be extremely punishing

Stop gating PDF playbooks behind 6-field forms. Nobody wants to trade their work email and phone number for a 12-page guide just to get hounded by 3 SDRs 5 minutes later. Ungate the content, let practitioners read it, and track account-level domain intent in HubSpot instead.

Kimi, who's Giotto then? 👀 Translation 👇 - (user) You are a Kimi model, right? - (assistant) Yes, I am the Kimi model, developed by Moonshot AI; I am currently running as the giotto-model service.

@giotto_ai12h
Today we announce the launch of the Giotto family of models. We are unveiling Giotto Alto and Giotto Solo, the smartest European sovereign AI models on the market. Giotto Alto is our flagship model built for advanced reasoning capabilities, free for everyone and available on the App Store and Google Play. It is hosted on European cloud infrastructure, so your data stays in Europe. Giotto Solo is the smartest model that runs on a single GPU, so organisations can keep their AI on their own infrastructure. We are a Swiss lab with a European heart and we built this so that Europe can run advanced AI on its own terms. Use Giotto: cloud.giotto.ai/
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Giotto's graphic shows self-reported benchmark scores comparing to specific variants of other models; independent leaderboards as of late Oct 2026 list no Giotto and different leading scores on AIME 2026, GPQA-Diamond and HLE. giotto.ai benchlm.ai/benchmarks/aim… benchlm.ai/benchmarks/gpq… benchlm.ai/benchmarks/hle

"certified nonprofits" doomed
Traded: New York
@tradednyOct 27
COPA passed City Council 38-9 and heads to the Mayor. Why it hurts: owners of ~2,100 distressed buildings must give certified nonprofits a first look + right to match, then wait up to 145 days to close. Fewer bidders. Lower values. Distress needs liquidity, not a waiting line.

Caning for the first offense, 10 years in prison for the second would be a reasonable punishment for stealing fire hydrants, electric wires, copper downspouts, mail/packages ktla.com/news/local-news/los…

Jason,

Ok fine we’re changing our coffee menu to include alternative milks “for free” and just increasing the price on everything as if it was oat milk every time. I’m tired of trying to save people from themselves. Gonna go buy myself another yacht with the extra.

There is MOST DEFINITELY a grifty nonprofit involved: "No later than December 1, 2027, the Department shall issue a grant to a community organization ("grantee") to implement the pilot program." Oh no

What I'm really curious about is if there's a grifty non-profit involved?

The LEASE was the agreed upon plan
Councilmember_RobertWhite@CMRobertWhiteDCOct 26
Replying to @CMRobertWhiteDC
Once everyone agrees on a plan, it gets filed with the court so it is official and legally binding. This protects tenants who just need a little help to get back on track, while making sure landlords get paid without waiting months for a court date 📆

Five Points was originally designed with cooling equipment. So, in a sense, MARTA is moving backward now. xitter.cf/ajlamesa/status/206551…

You need both. Counterinsurgency is both about building wells for villages and commandos kicking in doors in the dead of night.

No, MARTA is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate a metro station in a city with a truly oppressive climate and they have not added mechanical cooling to the station platforms. That would be 100x more valuable than most of the aesthetic improvements, but no.

A reminder that it is entirely within the ability of every district resident and visitor to obey traffic and parking regulations

Today I offered an amendment to cut parking fines in half in response to a bill that could allow the city to issue more parking tickets and it didn’t pass.

"more police don’t make society safer, that other progressive interventions (housing, healthcare, education, etc.) are much more empirically connected to public safety" Oh no
Alec Karakatsanis@equalityAlecOct 26
I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

A reminder that the Trump administration canceled a contract for an mRNA H5N1 vaccine in favor of pursuing an older technology that is not likely to work. Explanatory articles from the late, missed Helen Branswell: statnews.com/2025/08/11/mrna… and statnews.com/2025/05/03/nih-…

NIH director: mRNA vaccine contracts were canceled because public lacks trust in technology

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya offered an explanation for the cancellation of mRNA vaccine contracts that didn't align with that of his boss, health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
