It was a local newspaper journalist who first reported the Trump McDonald's appearance was staged with Trump supporters posing as "customers" who rehearsed with campaign and Secret Service. He posted tweets at about 1 pm as national media reported like it was actual drive-thru.

The supporters who will be served food by Trump are in place and screened by USSS.

Donald Trump just posted an all-caps rant claiming he doesn't support a national abortion ban.
I am *begging* mainstream media outlets to make clear what Republicans mean when they say 'ban'. I don't want to wake up to headlines claiming Trump would veto a national ban.

1/ New paper @Nature!
Discrepancy between human expectations of task difficulty and LLM errors harms reliability. In 2022, Ilya Sutskever @ilyasut predicted: "perhaps over time that discrepancy will diminish" (youtu.be/W-F7chPE9nU, min 61-64).
We show this is *not* the case!

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

The idea of arresting SF drug users to "force them into treatment" only makes sense if you willfully ignore the fact that there's a waiting list for people that voluntarily want to go into treatment.🤡
We have 💰 to pay cops overtime to arrest, but not Drs to treat, addiction.

One of the most profound books, I've ever read is called "How to Read a Book". It's where I learned that there were levels to reading that I'd never even imagined.
It changed my life.
