Louisiana will eliminate programs that allow the release of the sickest inmates, further burdening a prison medical system that struggles to care for its most vulnerable. Important reporting by @RichardAWebster veritenews.org/2024/03/28/lou…
🚨An absolutely monumental change for the academic study of "race and/or ethnicity" in the USA
And yet the editors of The Cut rejected my personal essay, "The Case for Marrying Isaac Chotiner"
And yet the editors of The Cut rejected my personal essay, "The Case for Marrying Isaac Chotiner"
Today's puzzle challenge: (A) Read first two paragraphs of this story. (B) Look at headline, which of course is all that most readers will register or retain. C) Present the narrative that takes a headline-writer from (A) to (B).

When I was 29 I wrote an essay for The Cut about aging and beauty. After a few rounds of edits, my editor killed it because I was just too young for it to really work. Super grateful she did. Some young thoughts are best left in your diary. thecut.com/article/age-ga…
TIL I learned that the age gap author’s parents are right-wing Catholic doctors in Miami who are heavily involved in anti-abortion politics. Lots of things about the worldview in that article are clicking now.
This seems like a rather odd thing for a top editor/newsroom manager to do but WDIK view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/17115…

@jbenton IMO it speaks to how much the industry now relies on freelance work—and how much of a buyer's market it is. Despite the gutting of staffs, worsening pay + contract terms, etc., there are still plenty of willing contributors. What would it really take for people to stop pitching?
@jbenton @NiemanLab Right, in the techno-lingo this is called RAG or retrieval-augmented generation. The model queries some underlying information set like an archive and then synthesizes a response only based on what was retrieved.
I've noticed that my audience is often motivated by talk of my personal lack of wealth. Brass tacks, folks, I rent a run down one bedroom apartment, and am grateful to have the stability of knowing I can eat and make rent every month but have very little on top of that.

@jbenton @NiemanLab It would be correct to not describe what they implemented as training a model. The way they describe it in their press release: “It is powered by the FT’s own internal search capabilities, combined with a third-party large language model.”
And on behalf of SB8, so many thanks to @Slate, Dan, Charlie, Hillary, Alicia, Gabe, Allison, Leon, Andrew and all the others who built the foundation for us—the Slow Burn team—to keep doing the kind of cool stuff we never would have dreamed of doing back when we were in school.
It’s audacious to write an acceptance speech. The gall! Who the hell do I think I am? But I did it anyway because I hate being unprepared & I didn’t want to risk being called up on stage without a script. And I’m so glad I did because then I would’ve forgotten so many more folks
My statement below: L.A. Times reporters attacked by Minnesota troopers will settle lawsuit for $1.2 million latimes.com/california/sto…
I came up when the journalism rule was you don’t write a story about a lawsuit until someone files it. If they threaten to file it? Sorry, it’s not news. And you *never* wrote a story about a public figure threatening to sue a reporter for writing a story that SHE HAS NOT READ.
Though I should add a slight note of critique to @NiemanLab here, which is that there needs to be more care with how the word “training” is used and what it means. FT didn’t do any training…
Smart analysis by @jbenton niemanlab.org/2024/03/the-fi… — IMO this is classic “make a use case that fits the tech” rather than designing for actual user needs or common information behaviors.
