Impressive reporting by @ZavalaA led to bipartisan support for more transparency. Impressive politicking by @Patterdude got this passed and signed -- proving transparency is not a partisan issue.
Yes! @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom signed my legislation to prohibit the governor, officials from the administration and state agencies from signing non-disclosure agreements when it comes to legislation and regulation. Straight from reporting by @ZavalaA! Continuing work by @vfong

The Federal Trade Commission just settled their antitrust case against John Deere. The deal forces Deere to give farmers and independent repair shops the same repair software and diagnostic access it hands its authorized dealers. That's fantastic news.
You bought the tractor. You should be able to fix it. It shouldn’t take a federal lawsuit to make that true.

“Linguistics is an unsung hero among sciences. It has initiated several groundbreaking trends in global history, yet it seldom receives the acknowledgment it deserves.”

Sharif University is Iran’s MIT. They’ve produced a huge number of engineers who’ve gone on to Silicon Valley and founded some of the most successful American tech companies.
Why are we bombing a university in a city of 10 million people?
Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, one of Iran’s top science and engineering institutions, was bombed tonight, and a number of schools reportedly damaged.
Founded in 1966 (as Aryamehr University), Sharif is a cornerstone of Iran’s scientific and academic life.
Striking and destroying universities and schools is not just an attack on buildings,it is an attack on a country’s future.

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

compilation is lossy. you'll end up rewarding overfitting the compiler + toolchain.
you can create unreadable spaghetti that compiles to the same bytecode.
look at the CFG in Ghidra of an -O0 vs -03 binary. They’ll be completely different.

this game packaging would be far more accurate with a red stamp instead saying ‘desk rejection’
