#OtD 4 Feb 1913 Rosa Parks was born. Often wrongly described as "quiet", she was actually a lifelong activist who supported Black power, Malcolm X and worked alongside the League of Revolutionary Black Workers in Detroit.

Two new speech-to-text models (similar to Whisper) from Mistral today - one of them is API-only, the other is a 8.9GB Apache-2.0 licensed open weights model for "realtime" transcription. They're both very good! https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/4/voxtral-2/

Living her best life.
(I've gawked inside a Target once, on a long-ago visit to the Excited Snakes of America, and yeah, this is the ONLY way to shop there.)
Heartening to see that Florida Woman is really lifting her game in 2026.
Level 0009 moved into its new home! It looks so sharp in this setup. The new owner was so hyped when he saw it IRL—it definitely hits different when you can see the texture for real. (see 3rd pic, my messy zoom)

@moonovermarine Is that from Sentinel? It's amazing.
Russian-state hackers exploit Office vulnerability to infect computers
The window to patch vulnerabilities is shrinking rapidly.

@anwagnerdreas Jepp, sehr schön den Finger gelegt auf Grenzfälle. So simpel wie in max. vier möglichen Antworten lassen sich die Varianten anscheinend doch nicht darstellen...
@Lambo hab jetzt dann doch mein Kreuz gemacht. Da kann ja die Umfrage nix dafür, dass es so kompliziert ist. 🫣

"In my understanding of [Lawrence Lessig's 'code is law'], what you're saying is kind of what he was hinting about; forewarning about the ability for platforms ... to kind of govern people or kind of regulate people in their behaviour ..."

At least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed in Russia's war, with many more missing, Zelensky tells French media: https://benborges.xyz/2026/02/04/at-least-ukrainian-soldiers-killed.html
Context: I found a bug, the bug can be exploited such that different members of a group see different conversations.
There are plenty of contexts where I would consider this a (low-medium) security issue, and given the nature of the bug I expect there might be additional security considerations.
But before spending time writing up the issue I'd like to confirm that this is something that Signal considers security-sensitive / or i'll just dump it on github eventually.
@sarahjamielewis I'd sure hope they consider it a vulnerability, especially in the present day as more and more people are using Signal group chats for organizing protests, etc.
@scottearle Because Apple has been making some really bad decisions in Tahoe. See https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/08/08/separate-icons-for-macos-tahoe-vs-earlier/#separate-icons-for-macos-tahoe-vs-earlier-update-2025-09-10
Oh, is this why I’m seeing Tahoe icons even though I’m not using Tahoe

'As you watch the protesters in the streets of Minneapolis, remember that the UK government is funnelling hundreds of millions of pounds in contracts to the company that is instrumental in finding and deporting those alleged illegal immigrants and labelling protestors “domestic terrorists”. Without UK government contracts, Palantir would be a shadow of the company it currently is. British taxpayers’ support is crucial to its commercial bottom line.
The ignorance and denial about the UK’s relationship with Palantir must end. This is technofascism. And it’s coming here next."

‘ #Starmer’s meeting with #Palantir did not appear in the prime minister’s register of visits and was acknowledged only in subsequent disclosures, Burghart said.
He said Palantir’s #MoD contract “was granted by direct award” – without competition – and asked that the cabinet secretary check there were “no other such contracts, no other such undisclosed meetings”.’
Starmer is a dead man walking
