#FederalJudge says #states cannot #mandate #federal #policy, even if well intentioned.
Struck down on #appeal, CT likely next.
States cannot tell the #feds that their #cops must reveal their faces, reveal their #badge numbers (wha- ?),
This is messed up. No ability to #appeal.
#SupremacyClause be damned.

Three legs are needed for deductive causal inference:
"Without assumptions regarding construct validity, one cannot accurately label the cause or outcome. Without assumptions regarding external validity, one cannot label the conditions enabling the cause to have an effect. If any of the assumptions regarding internal, construct, and external validity are missing, the claim is not deductively supported. The critical role of theoretical and substantive knowledge in deductive causal inference is illuminated by making such assumptions explicit. This article critically reviews approaches to identification in causal inference while developing a framework called causal specification. Causal specification augments existing identification strategies to enable and justify deductive, generalized claims about causes and effects. In the process, we review a variety of developments in the philosophy of science and causality and interdisciplinary social science methodology."Esterling, K., Brady, D. & Schwitzgebel, E. (2025). "The necessity of construct and external validity for deductive causal inference" https://doi.org/10.1515/jci-2024-0002

Mushroom identification please.
NB: I wasn't going to eat it. I was going to feed it to social media safety advisors. Plenty of those around and nobody is going to miss one if it turns out poisonous. That way they can finally be useful.

SHAME IS LEARNED
Shame is body-identification with a whip in its hand.
The body eats, shits, sweats, smells, wants, ages, leaks, trembles, hungers, and dies.
None of this is guilt.
It is just mammal life.
But the mind learns to look at the body through other people’s fear.
A look.
A tone.
A punishment.
A withdrawal of love.Then the body becomes evidence.
“Something is wrong with me.”
That is the error.
Guilt may say, “I did something wrong.”
Shame says, “I am wrong.”
Mind training begins here:
Do not attack the body for being a body.
Do not worship it either.
Just stop accusing it.
The body is innocent.
It is an instrument.
It needs breath, warmth, food, washing, rest, and kindness.
Shame says, “Hide this.”
Kindness says, “Meet this.”
That is the whole turn.

#Crickets and #grasshoppers communicate via #bioacoustics for mate recognition. In turn this can be used for #species #identification e.g. via passive audio monitoring and #machinelearning. Do you have some #mustreads on this topic?

#Trump has been pushing the #Senate to remove the #filibuster in order to pass the “SAVE America Act” because he doesn’t even have enough Republican votes for it to pass. It would introduce new voter #identification requirements.
The measure as written constitutes #VoterSuppression.

#ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants’ #TaxIdentifiers from a #DataBroker
#Immigration and #Customs Enforcement (ICE) appears to be purchasing records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers from a data broker, potentially skirting a court order that banned ICE from sourcing such information, according to Senator Ron Wyden and government procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.
The contract, worth nearly $10 million, is related to ITINs, or Individual Taxpayer #identification Numbers, which is the identifier many undocumented people use to file their taxes rather than a #SocialSecurity number (#SSN ).

Politico's Eliza "attempted to obtain an account, which requires support from W. After a 40-minute call and the help of the company’s Chief Technology Officer, Mario Nakic and a technologist from its #identification app, she managed to open one. But she is now locked out (...) because she had tried to get verified so many times (...), and, apparently, W doesn’t allow you to change your #password unless you have enabled #biometrics."

And #Trump threatened to block the extension of the powerful #surveillance statute, § 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or #FISA, which expired Saturday, unless a measure to reauthorize it was attached to #elections #legislation that would impose #national restrictions on #voter #identification & #registration.
Senate majority leader John Thune (R-SD) said repeatedly the elections measure does not have sufficient votes to pass & warned attaching it would “tank” the FISA bill.

Single-world intervention graphs (SWIGs) as distributions. Systematic way to derive identifying expressions for estimands. New front-door derivations extending more readily to complex settings.
Conceptually, simultaneously related to and distinct from Rubin's framework and Pearl's calculus.

"The model was able to classify the five kinds of insects to the species level with 85 percent accuracy. When it came to more broadly distinguishing between the four bee species and the one wasp species—two different families of insects—it was able to do so with 96 percent accuracy."

Web services complain about overbearing government censorship, but refuse to offer parental controls that address the problems that trigger "for the children" censorship demands.
12-13 is not an adult. But the parental controls basically disappear at that age and preteens/teens are exposed to full 18+ adult content.
