I wonder if this Bolsonaro operation will hurt Milei in the '27 elections.
Seems a weird way to spend your political capital.

Flávio's departure doesn't prove guilt. But he promised to stay, then defied a court order. That undermines his credibility. He asks supporters to accept his denials while avoiding accountability in Brazil. Calling it persecution doesn't answer the financial questions. 22/22

A few thoughts on Flávio Bolsonaro's runaway week, now that he has arrived in Miami. For those following this circus from abroad, some of the context seems to be getting lost. There is more behind his departure than just the fact that he lost the election. 1/...
Been a while since a progressive campaign really understood social media.
Wonder if Lula's strategy will serve as a blueprint for others in LatAm: WhatsApp channels, memes, centralized strategy.

Lula’s win is a good chance for Brazil (and LatAm) to rethink its relationship to US social media.
They already launched Pix (during Bolsonaro’s presidency) and it’s been a huge success. The foundation for sovereign tech is there.
Strange for Bolsonaro to dispute results based on the two-hour extension, after asking for it himself.
"Bolsonaro’s campaign had separately also requested a two-hour extension for certain areas in southern Brazil hit by heavy rainfall."

Malicious compliance.
Years ago, I submitted a single public records request to Seattle PD and they told me it would take 106 years to fulfill it.
There should be penalties for this.

I like this: asking agents to sign your guestbook.txt - a static file to modify if they break in.

Big if true.
But more importantly who is this account and how is he scooping these departures? Checked his timeline and the couple I saw were legit leaks.
Just found this set of multilingual TTS benchmarks.
Can't wait for more Spanish dialects, esp. Rioplatense (Argentinian). 🇦🇷
Introducing five new languages on the Voice Arena TTS leaderboard.
Models from @ElevenLabs rank #1 on all five of the new Voice Arena TTS leaderboards: French 🇫🇷, German 🇩🇪, Bahasa 🇮🇩, Tagalog 🇵🇠and Indian English 🇮🇳.
Eleven v4 Turbo takes the top position on four of the five boards. On Bahasa, ElevenLabs holds both #1 and #2, with Eleven v4 first and Eleven v4 Turbo second.
Across five languages spanning Europe, Southeast Asia and South Asia, each judged only by native listeners, ElevenLabs finishes first on every board, ahead of the next-best model from another provider by 11 to 26 Elo points.
Voice Arena ranks models through blind, head-to-head votes by vetted native speakers, scored with Bradley-Terry Elo.
Board-by-board results below 🧵
These rules sucked for the neighbors too.
30% of my building is Airbnb and some ask guests to take out the trash. They end up leaving trash in stairwell and hallways.
Airbnb hosts are melting down over a new policy banning them from making guests complete tasks that “would typically be performed by a cleaner,” like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”

Quest Diagnostics has been hacked. Patient data was exposed. They serve roughly half of U.S. hospitals and physicians. Investigation ongoing.
Use-case-specific models+harnesses are the future of local LLMs.
I've found more uses for a small decision model (H2O-Lightning-4b) more useful than the more-traditional, much-larger Qwen3.8 27b.
This is a bit of a toy, but even a browser-sized model (360mm params) can be useful.
