For all their talk about free markets the markets are now completely controlled by a few oligarchs. Corporations no longer need to worry about the quality of their products or what consumers think of them they can just print money. 401k + ETFs + bot farms to support prices wherever they want.

What is about to happen to gas prices is the best thing to happen for the environment in a long time

If the North had just let the South succeed and helped all the black folk move North the people left in the South would have starved and those left wouldn't still be on the side of the losers. I'm ready to try it that way now.

Liberty and Justice for Y'all #NoKings Decatur, GA

Counterpoint, he lost all branches of government and has no plan to get them back

Not gonna lie, i love to see this and hope it spreads

It's not complacency it's complicity

All I'm going to say that: If I had never done a thing, I wouldn't be so quick to jump into discussions about whether "AI" can do the thing.

To be neutral in the face of injustice makes you part of the injustice.

In the future historians will talk about how the 2016 US election marked Russia's victory of the Cold War allowing them to invade Ukraine without fear of the US.

The fools should have remembered Vizzini

If they federalize AI, in 3 years we federalize healthcare

I've got the solution to all this time stuff. We all agree to work 5 hour days Oct-March and 11 hour days April-Sept

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

They keep talking about Rome and Sparta because they are pedos

Wow, around 10-11min in these guys break into something amazing

Trump voters are complicit in the murders of millions of children, they were told USAID would be dismantled and they voted for it. They should be treated like the scum they are

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

Alright there algorithm, you've been cool about showing me data science and book posts but I need more dogs and luthiers in my feed!

Oh, right, instead of screaming into the void about politics I'm supposed to be screaming into the void about my Android app JamBuddy - Tools for Musicians. It lets you easily edit and display sheet music on your phone or tablet, tells you the current chord, etc play.google.com/store/apps/d...

He really is doing all of it.

Here's a project I can get behind

No notes

People need food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and education. If you don't think we as a society can deliver that better than we are currently you don't have the vision to be in tech.

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans. Crazy, right? Anyway…Merry Christmas.

#JamBuddy 1.07 has been released to production! It can now render sheet music with real time editing and midi playback along with a revamped tunes browser. Get it on Google Play! play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Production release day for JamBuddy!! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #dataBS #kotlin

If you don't understand that you don't understand you don't understand anything.

This was my work week too! Spring cleaning time I guess.

Is it really called splatting #dataBS? "You can roll your own “parabolic peak‐centering” in pure NumPy/​SciPy by fitting a little parabola to each FFT‐bin peak and then splatting its energy fractionally into the two nearest semitone bins"

This is why no1 uses you Google. Can you even imagine Microsoft doing this?

How have these people never heard of stop words? Why aren't they stripping them if it costs millions? futurism.com/altman-pleas...

How many times a day do you need to remind yourself that time in the market is better than timing the market?

Obviously, right? Make people have to ask for help and they'll just buy it from Amazon.

If your product doesn't have a dark mode you can expect strong and vocal pushback against its adoption from some number of people who would otherwise be power users of your product.

You know how to improve air quality? Give a tax break to corporations based on the percentage of employees working from home full time.

The only near term use of AI agents I'm looking forward to is NPCs in RPGs.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Did some sentiment analysis of bsky posts by members of some peoples starter packs. @flavorflav.bsky.social - entertainment @marcelias.bsky.social - politics @hltco.bsky.social - global sport @katharinehayhoe.com - science warpandweftdata.com/blog/bsky_se... #rstats #databs

That's like a live sentiment tracker. You could make an emoji index. If it correlated with consumer confidence, which it should lead, it would be an interesting market indicator. #Rstats #dataBS

Thanks for the heads up @simonwillison.net that foursquare data with DuckDB combo works nicely in R. 🍻 #Rstats warpandweftdata.com/blog/foursqu...

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here. For those of you who forget: Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text. Thanks 🙏😎

This is a fun dataset! It'd be good for teaching this. #Rstats

Charging $5/edit is the best way to fund this thing.
