Leider wird die invitatio ad offerendum den Spaß verderben.

Aber im Gegensatz zur invitatio gehen doch Händler grade mit dem Willen, Verträge zu schließen, vor.
Daher würde ich eher nicht von einer invitatio ad offerendum ausgehen, sondern von einer offerta ad incertas personas, was ja dadurch gestützt wird,

WTF was the One Big Beautiful Bill if not policy, to cut taxes for the rich, cut health insurance, cut access to food for the poor. Or ICE. All "policy".

How can Lee talk about gridlock and also say American Democrcy is in good shape?

Stick to one story.

@himself.bsky.social and Cozma Shalizi bring AI together with Homer's epics, on how AI "agents are far more than stochastic parrots and much stranger than machine gods. They are animated storybooks of structured human cultural knowledge that can be set to work." www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

I bought a new EV the other day. I use AI to help me unravel questions and help understand things in the car

Performing now at 14.8kWh/100km - considered excellent!

It praised me the other day for so quickly understanding the car ☺️

Here's a long read about AI

Guys, please? LLMs are markov processes over distributions of bounded-length strings. They are neither shoggoths nor Homeric songs.

The Russian economy has entered the death zone.

"Westerners keep waiting for the Russian economy to collapse. It won’t. But nor will it recover. It has entered what mountaineers call the death zone: the altitude at which the human body consumes itself."

Columbia defends Mahmoud Khalil event, after vowing ‘zero tolerance’ for his protest group
Story by Luke Tress Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian US activist Mahmoud Khalil carries a Palestinian flag during a rally celebrating his return from immigration detention, June 22, 2025, in New York. (AP/ Olga Fedorova/ File) Columbia University defends an event on campus featuring protest leader and former student Mahmoud Khalil, after vowing “zero tolerance” for his protest group in past statements. “Columbia supports the right of faculty members to organize academic events. An invitation to speak does not signify University endorsement of a speaker’s views,” a university spokesperson says. “We remain committed to rigorous debate, inquiry, and respectful dialogue across differing perspectives.” Khalil was a spokesperson and negotiator for the anti-Zionist campus alliance, Columbia University Apartheid Divest. He was detained by the Trump administration last year and is battling the government’s attempt to deport him. The university’s Center for Palestine Studies is scheduled to host Khalil on campus tomorrow for an event focused on his recent book about his detention and activism. The event is not sponsored by the university administration. Event organizers describe Khalil as a “a prominent figure during the student protests against the war on Gaza” and call his book “a work of courage and resistance.” Columbia no longer recognizes Columbia University Apartheid Divest and has said it has “zero tolerance” for the group and its representatives. “Organizations that promote violence or disruptions of our academic mission are not welcome on our campuses,” the university said in a statement about the group last year. Earlier this year, after revoking the group’s status on campus, Columbia said the group uses “violent and unacceptable language.” Since leaving Columbia, Khalil has sued the university, justified the October 7 invasion of Israel, and called for the “collapse” of Israel.

Introduction: Bug bounty programs frequently face friction during researcher onboarding, particularly when target applications strictly enforce third-party identity providers or social logins. Manually generating credentials or provisioning test environments introduces operational overhead and delays security testing. By leveraging webhook integrations and automated provisioning scripts, security teams can instantaneously register, tag, and issue credentials to researchers upon program invitation acceptance.

No right to be naive or portray naivety.

Ukrainian politicians didn't prosecute the 90's. Ukraine had a 3+ year window to root out corruption and build it's own MIC. They squandered it for "peace" for 3+ years instead.
