Hey look! New Orleans sister city acting just like we are.

This would rake in some cash for New Orleans as well, we have plenty of usually empty vacation homes that should be taxed more.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

LMAO a Moon Pie

I know everyone hates to update the software on their devices, but with the news of AI tools finding security vulnerabilities at an incredible rate, you should stay on top of this.

This looks great for puttering around New Orleans!

EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

If you try running PostgreSQL on a VM provisioned with less resources than a raspberry pi you can’t complain about performance, that’s not pg’s fault.

Well, I guess they are going to have to add another mission patch to this poster. (Yes, I know Nikons have flown on more spacecraft since then, but they are not new to gloating about it)

There’s a fine line between April Fools’ jokes and flat out trolling customers with things you KNOW they would buy.

A project can be finished, not everything has to be limped along with yet another change to be made.

On the other hand Linux and emacs users have been like this since the 90’s.

As usual, tech companies tell more about their plans and problems on their careers page than they do on their blog.

It’s 03:30 for me, so how about a review of the sleep config of the Orion cabin? This is a fairly straightforward config & the crew has some flexibility for how they want to arrange things. Typically crew sleep is a cameras off period, but I’m sure they’ll give folks a peek at some point.

Going to be a big summer for middle aged men with heat pumps and solar panels.

Holy smokes that’s a big area for a boil water advisory!

Is a good thing Iran doesn’t have a long history of supporting terrorist activity in other countries, and that we don’t have our counterterrorism capacity out chasing day laborers around the Home Depot parking lot.

A recent debate on the left pits “abundance” vs “anti-monopoly” Is the problem that we've made it too hard to build? Or that extractive corporations dominate the economy? My new paper argues: both reflect a deeper shift. We've entered an economy oriented toward scarcity—the Anti-Growth Machine.

You assume incorrectly that simply typing code into the computer is the foundational aspect of my job

13) basically all of our problems, in principle, are one problem: who is in control and how do they determine what the thing should do or how it should be used? how do they determine what not to do? 13a) most people are unwilling to address this as a core problem, basically because it is too hard

laundry list of ai-related opinions: 1) llms do work and sometimes writes good code 2) ai is not llms. ai is neural networks. "training neural networks" works so well it's baffling 3) "the singularity" is an easy concept and if you scoff at it you're being tribalistic or deliberately obtuse

Ultra-rich buyers are consolidating New York townhouse apartments into giant single-family homes. Some are buying two, even three adjacent townhomes to build a franken-house. Step inside a Manhattan mega-mansion, the latest status symbol in this second Gilded Age: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I wonder how much of this is from shoe token rates? If it responded to prompts instantaneously would we go back to arguing with the computer about one point instead of trying to guide its journey into the answer we’d like the computer to find?

You know it’s bad when the new Teslas are debadged from the factory.

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened. So here’s a quick thread to help.

I just finished scanning a roll of Kodak Gold 200 I was using to test a new camera, golden hour may be a bit to yellow this film. #believeinfilm Rollei 35rf with Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f2

That’s a lot of wind! We could be doing this in the gulf, retooling and retraining rig workers to install and maintain offshore turbines.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

This latest update taught Claude Code to ring the console bell when it wants attention and it’s worse than dog who thinks it’s almost dinner time. “hey” “hey” “hey I’m done” “hey give me attention“

That’s almost $15 Billion a year, or three times MIT’s yearly budget. They spent 3 times MIT’s yearly budget on The Metaverse and got nowhere.

Mardi Gras has begun!
