So @CapitalOne fraud management has been incredibly frustrating, denying my claim of almost $1000 in obvious fraud with no appeals process. I have a police report and proof I was out of state at the time and they told me too bad. Closing my accounts. Stay away.

True, but an over emphasis on plane danger (in name of safety) could have stalled air travel industry before it took off. Nuclear power is a good example of a technology with real safety issues that suffered from an abundance of caution, which in long run made world less safe!
You don't need to be deeply pessimistic about AI to think it's good to work on AI safety, just like you don't need to be deeply pessimistic about planes to think it's good to work on aviation safety. Risk reduction is valuable across a wide range of risk estimates.

Tough loss for Team USA vs the Dutch. But now we have to replace our highways with bike lanes. Sorry, those are just the rules of the World Cup.

Players need to face down FIFA over this. If a captain is booked for wearing a OneLove armband, both teams should leave the pitch until the card is recinded. Delays would cause chaos in global tv schedules and draw greater attention to LGBTQ+ rights and FIFA's malfeasance.
Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup have announced their captains will no longer wear the OneLove armband in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be sanctioned. wapo.st/3TUKDaU

Someone explain to me why the democrats can’t raise the debt limit by some ridiculous amount before the election in case Republicans take the house? Maybe also pass a bill supporting Ukraine for 2yrs?

For what it's worth, the recent rise was mainly due to some refinery issues. It's ludicrous and terrifying to think that these could determine the fate of U.S. democracy
BREAKING: For the first time in four weeks, the national average price of gasoline is down from a week ago, declining 5.4 cents from last Monday to $3.86/gal today.

This Apple News ad is bleak…
This blog discusses what our summer interns did at OtterTune. We're lucky to get amazing interns 2yrs in a row. But the best part is artwork from @liam_f_walsh. I asked "Draw DJ OT teaching a younger otter how to break into a car". Liam is a genius. I don't need #stablediffusion
We had the best summer interns. As the season comes to a close we wanted to show you what they got up to in 12 weeks. ottertune.com/blog/ottertune…

Not nearly enough and not nearly soon enough.
Apple understands the risks. "JPMorgan said it expected Apple would be producing one in four of its devices, including iPads and watches, outside China by 2025." ft.com/content/d5fc0566-9916…

A better way to say what the article is trying to say: we have plenty of space, but we won’t do obvious things to use it efficiently because someone on a cul du sac might get miffed.
