In a Feb. 16 statement, the LAPD states it’s unlawful for minors under 18 to be in public places, streets, or amusement spots during school hours. Exceptions include emergencies or being with a parent. The department cited state education code requiring that children between the ages of 6 and 18 “must attend a full-time public day school for the full designated day.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal includes no money for a fund formed last year to boost the state’s local newsrooms, casting doubt on whether a heralded effort to help California journalists will amount to anything and how serious Newsom is about supporting the struggling industry.

Fonseca’s art is fascinating to me, since so much of it reflects his Native heritage, his identity as a gay man, and the early 90s aesthetic of queerness.

There was no policy prohibiting the display of flags on El Capitan until the day after Joslin and their team hung the trans flag, when the NPS issued a new rule banning the hanging of large flags in wilderness areas. Yosemite leadership updated the 2024 Superintendent’s Compendium to include the update.

Because khipu were so vital to the Inca government, and because the khipu itself is such a sophisticated way of recording numbers, colonial writers decided that these tools must be the exclusive knowledge of a very specialized, elite class of bureaucrats. But a recent study, analyzing hair from a khipu made around 1498 CE, suggests that even common folk had a good grasp of this intricate way of recording numbers.

I don’t think it’s a bad statue, but it does give me a giggle every time I see it for other reasons (NSFW).

Thousands of years before the Black Death killed one-third of Europe’s population in the 14th century, a mysterious and prehistoric form of the plague spread throughout Eurasia. This prehistoric pathogen that is only known from ancient DNA samples ran rampant about 5,000 years ago, ultimately vanishing from the archeological record about 2,000 years later. Called the Late Neolithic Bronze Age (LNBA) plague lineage, scientists have long been puzzled about where the strain came from. Now, we are close to an answer.

Using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to introduce even a small amount of relevant data to the training set can often lead to strong improvements in this kind of "out of domain" model performance. But the researchers say that this kind of "patch" for various logical tasks "should not be mistaken for achieving true generalization. ... Relying on SFT to fix every [out of domain] failure is an unsustainable and reactive strategy that fails to address the core issue: the model’s lack of abstract reasoning capability."

The article title is very click baity, but I found the actual discussion and reasoning for why this will happen and how it can be stopped to be thoughtful.

Probably the strangest Trek promo I’ve seen a tourist shop do, haha

The Trump Administration says it will end a $7 billion program to help low-income households and communities get access to affordable solar energy. The move is part of President Trump's effort to reverse former President Biden's climate agenda and boost fossil fuels instead.
