fyi you can still get a passport with your sex marker of choice, including X. seems like the injunction or whatever could get knocked down any time, so if that's something you want hop on it travel.state.gov/content/trav...

I thought grimes videos in the last few years had been getting kind of boring but god damn she's back

in my home I have encountered an entity with far too many legs. this displeases me

996 is good as long as you take 2 month breaks every 3 weeks

magical girl doing the heart hands thing but in context it’s very obviously a gang sign

what would you call a WUG experiencing existential dread?

systemctl stop x <long pause> (like smothering with a pillow) vs killall x killall x kllall -9 x (like bashing with a club)

I know it's ironic given my pfp but... I've decided heat death is somebody else's problem. my job is just to get us there

default is looking for puppygirls. she's like, probably fine to talk to I think?

i love making things on my computer :)

we should have given it to the yogurt

she fork() on my thread pool til I

some goddamn trans girl decided GTK image loading needed to be sandboxed and rewritten in Rust and now my swaylock fork is broken

have you seen the new python package? it's on pypi. you can literally install it with pip. set up a venv. grab it with poetry. you just use rye. run it with pipx. you can install it with uv. install uv right now. go to uv. dive into uv. you can uv it. it's on uv. uv has it for you. uv has it for you

surprising my doctor by revealing my second health bar

there's like 700 people in the world who can actually write software without offloading to an egregore and/or fucking it all up. drew devault is one of them? are you among the 700? if not you're being out-hussled by drew defuckingvault

I think it's a good policy when you make a drive-by PR to run your fork of that thing until your change gets merged+released. both for testing purposes and so you're not beholden to their code review/release process. if they reject it well... fuck everyone else but I got mine.

*reads community guidelines very closely* I'm sure glad the violent internetpoisened young guy meta is moving away from shooting schoolchildren and teachers. we should definitely make sure it continues to be less of that.

I should make a gc with everyone at anthropic I have on signal to yell at them when claude is down and also to make feature requests (I should very much not do this)

shout out to ip-api.com for not only being a short memorable URL that can be curled without fuss but also for having colored formatted terminal output by default

beeper is cool in theory but making it ergonomic to decrypt e2e app messages server side (much less punt them to an LLM API) is unacceptable

me face unlocking with an opencv python script wired up to a patched swaylock: I have literally the most secure computer in the world

people should not be afraid of technology because technology is what makes us human

fun fact: between inflation and risk of being mugged, the cost of walking around with a million dollars cash for a day is about $207

when deciding if to date someone some important considerations are: what are their standards? what sort of connection are they compatible with? what features do they support? can you power them with USB-C?

The news is always like: Europe requires background checks to use an adblocker. In the US cars now drive themselves

The problem though is that most users will use Discover and so it’s important that Discover is great. Unfortunately, it is not, and I think the team massively underestimates the importance of having a good default feed.

womenshittification

candle chart boys are like if an astrology girl didn't understand math and science

you were allowed to objectify women in the 1950s because in the 1950s objects were often valuable and high quality

starting sentences with "assuming past versions of me are perfect predictors..."

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case. "My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

my home airport of PDX has maybe the most spacious and beautiful unsecured airport areas in the US, and SFO's secured area is quite comfy imo. good spot for layovers

catgirl: meow doggirl: woof angelgirl: faint hum emanating from the halo contraptiongirl: twenty seconds of hideous metal scraping against metal followed by a bang, a crash, and the tinkle of broken glass

opening comment is a work of art. one Claude cheerfully roleplaying a catastrophic failure investigation report based off a crazy person's description of another Claude roleplaying an intern who pretends they can write code. at no point did any of the three consider doing software development.

this is the correct way to sign off on all communications to me, btw

I don't particularly care for democracy but if you do like democracy this is obviously correct

easy access to high interest personal debt (credit cards, BNPL, etc) is good because it's a tax on allistic people (who don't understand how money works) that goes to autists (overrepresented in finance)

it's strange to me how people are so invested in doing all of the hard parts of programming so the llm can... write code? like yeah sure it's great at that as long as you set up your environment and design the architecture and specify all the test cases and review code and debug and debug more and

why does search not work when logged out?

update: this inspired me to speed up my tests 2.5X by setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/dev/null

*one week later* aaaaand the new model is getting 82% on fnorpbench-hard

AIs have no sense of fnorping Only humans can fnorp AIs can outperform humans at many scoped tasks in a way that will have consequences in the world, but they cannot fnorp!! And don’t forget it!

I would like a for you/discover feed that's just like the one's we have except there's a toggle that let's me turn off people shadowboxing guys with bad opinions about LLMs

making a bunch of amazon orders with assemble-yourself furniture and raw materials for projects I've been meaning to do feels like calling in an executive dysfunction airstrike on myself

full saturation orbital bombardment is a type of tantrum if you think about it
