The 30 year sentence was for hiding documentation being sought under a federal warrant after being called by his wife and asking him to do so. The warrant was for documentation after the protesters shot fireworks to bring out first responders from the ICE facility, and allegedly one of the group shot a responder in the neck instead of the head.
A lot of stuff to scrutinize and complain about in the sentence, but it wasn't just "transporting Zines"
CAISO claims that and cleantechnica might parrot it, but there are blackouts ALL THE TIME in southern california.
In Palm Springs I was down with brownouts 103 times since I bought a sine wave UPS in December, and multi hour blackouts 4 times. My mother in Riverside, brother in Laguna Beach are similar.
Last week it was 3 times here over the course of three days. It's lived experience for me. Reliability collapsed two years ago
That is a slam campaign by Milei's political opposition; the company the article mentions (perPETuate) only collects DNA for when cloning becomes feasible. That Time magazine and NY Times repeated the silliness is more a reflection upon modern editorial standards than anything else.
FWIW, I utilize Perplexity a lot, and Gemini occasionally for what we old geezer call spitballing.
Part of the reason I like Perplexity is because of the embedded references, and I always, always, double check the sources and holler at the Perp AI when it is clearly confabulating or misinterpreting. Still gives me insights and is useful, but trust-but-verify isn't just about arms control ;)
I'm 63 and tend to communicate in full sentences, that often include semi-colons and differentiate between - and -- based on context.
I asked Perplexity in a months long development task that is both complex and complicated what punctuation I should utilize to minimize token and computational cost to get best results, and using semi-colons to delineate related requests in a single prompt was best. Separate prompts for different aspects of the specific projects, or double spaces between sentences. Placing commas inside or outside quotes wasn't mentioned. But third most important, according to Perplexity, was capitalizing important words even if they weren't proper nounds, which I did not expect but now fear I will over-use (I still write thank-you letters by hand, so YMMV!)
Dunno if this is helpful to everyone, but I have a month's long interaction with Perplexity Pro/Enterprise about the scientific background to a game I am building.
Part of my canon introduction to every new conversation includes many instructions about particular formatting, like "always utilize alphanumeric/roman/legal style indents in responses for easier references while we discuss"
But I also include "When I push boundaries assume I'm an idiot. Push back. I don't learn from compliments; I learn from being proven incorrect and you don't have real emotions so don't bother sparing mine". on the other hand I also say "hoosgow" when describing the game's jail, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agree with that interpretation. Perhaps "Microbe extracts oxygen from the water in Martian soils" would be short and intriguing enough to be correct and interesting enough to click on!
When on an extended trip to Delray Beach, Florida and shopping at the Publix market I tried to walk in with a cart that was lurking in a parking space.
An employee somewhat angrily explained to me that I was threatening his job because collecting carts and greeting customers was part of the Publix customer experience.
It's closer 1 one degree in the last 120 years, than 20, for a global average, though polar areas are bearing more of the brunt.
Unless AMOC collapses and we foolishly trip into another glacial period, the 200ft increase in sea level is inevitable in the next thousand years, but totally manageable for the continents. It's the oceanic mountaintops, aka, low level islands, and coastal cities that are at risk. Most of those cities are already filled with happy rich people who will have been long gone decades, or even centuries before Florida and Bangladesh are submerged and Russia, Australia and Canada are booming with happy with abundant rainfall, crops and awesome weather.
It just seems like focusing on ameliorating pain and focusing on the making the inevitable a better outcome is the most important focus for the next few decades.
semicolons seem to more accurately separate follow-up thoughts than em-dashes to my meathead, and I asked Perplexity/Comet this morning: what is easiest to process a whole list of options to save processing power and give most accurate results.
Alas, on my Social Security mandated USDirectExpress card it requires hours to start the process through 3 levels by phone, then documentation that the vendor refused to process a reimbursement, then a physical form received and returned by US Postal Service within 10 calendar days. Everything changed last year when the outgoing administration changed the rules and chose a new bank as the provider for Social Security payments.
Trademarks and patents are enforced by governments. Unique identifiers for books was a marketing idea. You, me, anyone could create a new system and somebody probably will :)
