I helped actively resist his killology training seminars in Spokane, WA a few years ago. We really had no idea if it would work out, but the collective efforts of activists, organizers, the general public, and city council caused him to no-show at his own event.

There's fairly little news on the details of how it all went down, but here's a good article leading up to the seminar that accurately accounts all the major details:

Spokane City Council condemns controversial ‘killology’ police training

If Grossman shows up to your community, you can resist him and win.

... Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.

Dude is in his 70s and still acts like his mom is literally Satan for saying he has to eat his peas. That's some real snowflake shit.

Basically, if all I can read is a headline how can I consider it informative? A news headline has as much evidence as your average Tweet, and can be deeply incorrect through the use of clickbait.

I do use methods to get around paywalls, but knowing that some/most people won't, it seems counter-informative to solely use the clickbait headline to keep people informed.

Always eat the pizza crust. If you don't, I will.

“Traditional therapy requires me to physically go to a place, to drive, eat, get dressed, deal with people,”

YES! Those are the things therapy for anxiety and depression is supposed to help you with! If the AI "Therapist" won't help with those problems, it's not there to actually help you.

Eating, getting dressed, and talking with real people are all good things for your mental health. Typing on a keyboard doesn't help, otherwise we'd be the least depressed generation ever.

Quote from the github faq:

Why is this project suddenly back after 3 years? What happened to Intel GPU support?

In 2021 I was contacted by Intel about the development od ZLUDA. I was an Intel employee at the time. While we were building a case for ZLUDA internally, I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that Intel was evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After some deliberation, Intel decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on Intel GPUs.Shortly thereafter I got in contact with AMD and in early 2022 I have left Intel and signed a ZLUDA development contract with AMD. Once again I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that AMD is evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today.

I've been using tags on users who I've interacted with to help me realize if I've interacted with someone before. It would be nice to change the color from green to others, even if it's a prechosen color palette.

As a fan of Formula E, I can say with certainty that it's the most faux-progressive sport I've ever seen.

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Ada County Sheriff's Office reports that a 21-year-old Boise man caused quite a disturbance at a gym in Eagle after he intimidated two teens, knocked himself over with the front door, then broke a plate glass window with a large knife.

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at the northeast shopping center of Eagle Rd. and Highway 44. A man identified by police as Jacob Roberts, allegedly was seen intimidating two teen boys while they were exercising in the gym. An adult woman put herself between the two teens and Roberts, telling him to leave them alone.

Reportedly the two teens and the adult woman barricaded themselves in a mat room using kettle bells to block the door. Witnesses told police that Roberts then became visibly more agitated by not being able to get in to the mat room. Roberts attempted to flee as bystanders called the police. He ran headlong into the front door, knocking himself backwards. Apparently frustrated by this, Roberts pulled out a large knife and used it to break a plate glass window, creating his own exit.

A large police response led to a brief manhunt, identifying and locating Roberts roughly 30-minutes later. As the deputies pulled Roberts from the patrol car to book him into the Ada County Jail, he attempted to run. Roberts reportedly attempted to bite one of the deputies during the ensuing scuffle. He now faces felony charges for malicious property damage and assault with the intent to commit serious injury, and a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest.

For some context, the South China Sea is a giant sea between China, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and a few others. Currently, China is pushing for what it calls the "Nine-Dash Line" policy which would in effect forcibly blockade all other ASEAN nations from trading.

Imagine if Italy claimed the entire Mediterranean Sea including the coastline of other nations, then prevented others from trading under the threat of military invasion. That's basically what China is trying to do here.

We leave drives A and B reserved in honor and remembrance of floppy disks. Think of it as reserving a famous sports player's number. Those things could hold so much data that we still use a floppy disk as the icon for saving things today.

A joint news release was issued by agencies that manage lands in North Idaho

COEUR D’ALENE - Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9, Stage II Fire Restrictions will be in effect on lands managed or administered by the US Forest Service, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the Idaho Department of Lands, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone Counties.

This also includes National Forest System lands in Washington and Montana that are administered by the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.

Moderate to severe drought conditions coupled with persistent high temperatures have raised the fire danger rating to very high and extreme across northern Idaho. The local Coeur d’Alene dispatch area recently saw an increase to Preparedness Level 4 out of 5, and conditions nationally are Preparedness Level 3. This means multiple geographic areas are experiencing large wildfires, suppression resources are being carefully prioritized, and the majority of other firefighting personnel and equipment are committed to wildland fire incidents. These conditions have prompted Stage II fire restrictions to be implemented in accordance with the criteria established in the 2023 Idaho Fire Restrictions Plan for all lands within the Coeur d’Alene Dispatch area.

Under Stage II fire restrictions, the following acts are prohibited on the restricted private, tribal, state and federally managed or protected lands, roads, and trails:

  1. Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire.

  2. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a designated recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. 3. Operating motorized vehicles off designated roads and trails in accordance with existing travel management plans for non-commercial purposes, including ATVs, UTVs, and pickups. 4. The following acts are prohibited from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.: (A patrol is required for one hour following cessation of all work as described in a, b, and c below.)

a) Operating a chainsaw or other equipment powered by an internal combustion engine for felling, bucking, skidding, processing, log loading and hauling, road building and woodcutting or any

other activity employing the use of an internal combustion engine or off-road activity associated with industrial operations or fire wood gathering.

b) Blasting, welding, or other activities that generate flame or flammable material.

c) Using an explosive.

The following are exemptions to the Stage II Fire Restrictions:

Persons with a written permit that specifically authorizes the otherwise prohibited act. Persons using a fire or stove fire fueled solely by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels. Such devices, including propane campfires, may be used only in an area cleared of flammable material. 3) Persons using a generator with an approved spark arrester on areas that are cleared of all flammable materials within three feet of the generator.

  1. Log loading and hauling only from landings and existing roads.

  2. Private landowners using charcoal (disposed of properly) or propane barbecues on their own lands.

  3. Normal operations on crop lands.

  4. Emergency repair of public utilities and railroads as per conditions in Stage II Exemptions for Public Utilities and Railroads.

  5. Any federal, state, or local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force, in the performance of an official duty.

  6. Persons conducting activities in those designated areas where the activity is specifically authorized by written posted notice.

  7. All land within a city boundary (unless otherwise restricted).

With the extreme temperatures and drought the region is experiencing, fire managers are asking the public to be extra cautious when spending time outdoors. As a reminder, you should never use fireworks on state and private forestland and rangeland and on public lands, roads, and trails. Possession and/or use of fireworks is always prohibited on federal public lands.
