GPS in an unfamiliar city is incredibly handy, but surely most people still learn their hometown? It's not just me, right? right?

So, it's Dec 3rd and I haven't so much as glanced at #AdventofCode this year! Totally snuck up on me. What language should I go with this time? 1️⃣ Python 🐍 2️⃣ Perl 🐪 3️⃣ Java ☕ (rusty) 4️⃣ Something else (link below⬇️ ) 📊 Show results

Finally got around to leveling my ally alt in WoW Mop so just today learned the codename for the Prince of Stormwind is... the White Pawn? Really? Not even a Bishop (he's a priest) or a Knight? Only the most expendable piece on the board? I'd run away too. 🤴 #WoWClassic #WoW

It is 2005, the internet is a distributed network of servers designed so that no one outage can take down the entire network It is 2025, the internet relies on three companies, problems with any one of which can cripple a significant proportion of the global economy

These comments are so gouda "The gyro we needed" " DOJ case was full of bologna" "You can indict a ham sandwich, but you can't get a jury to convict" "Well, that's a wrap," "lettuce move on"

Take away all the costs (data centers, water consumption, money, etc) of AI and I still wouldn't use an LLM. It produces consistently wrong output. If we put that analogy into manufacturing, it's "I have to QA everything off of the line _without exception_ and I get frequent material waste anyway"

Ok the new Tron movie was a ton of fun! Was it subtle? Nuanced? Adhere to physics? Realistic modern tech? NO! It was Tron! Glowy, 'splodey fun with a banging soundtrack. That is really all I ask of Tron. 💜

Sharing this fantastic AI take partially just for the phrase "an ouroboros of stale air"

Ok, someone explain Duolingo's new "energy." Looks like it uses 1 per exercise, with +3 at checkpoints and +5 at end. Is that dependent on score? And how do I see how many exercises are in a lesson? It's not standardized? Did I miss an alert or everybody surprised like me? #duolingo

Kudos to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory for the absolute best title ever:

Paizo just really went all in and said "let's make one for the monsterf***er girlies!" 😱 paizo.com/products/btq... #pathfinder #starfinder

I wonder how much Spanish lessons actually spiked on #Duolingo when Bad Bunny was announced for the Super Bowl?

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Wild that EA managed to find a buyer who cares about video game workers even less than EA.

If a shapeshifting alien mimics a popular Elebrian host, does that make it an AstroZo!an? #Starfinder #Starfinder2e #GottaSayItWithJazzHands

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

When everyone is neurodivergent, no one will be neurodivergent. Muwahahahah.

Trying to make a Starfinder Society 2e char and I coulda sworn strix were supposed to be a playable race, either core or with a boon like SFS1? @Paizo where my strix at?? #Starfinder #SillyGamerStrixR4Kids

The LA Times Minis are just straight up harder than the NY Times ones. That is all.

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

How To: Make your own crushed velvet 1. Take your too-stiff hip scarf and plunge it in a small sink of cold water. 2. Remember about 0.5sec too late that it was velvet. >.<

I love this kind of nerdy linguistics stuff, despite being a math/sci girl.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

13yo: invents a scary monster, and its habitat, and draws it on his chromebook. 9yo: invents a monster that preys on the first monster, draws it in crayon on paper. Brothers. 🤷‍♀️

It's frankly kind of depressing how much of our economy and the "big brains" in charge of it are simply running on vibes...

It would be unrealistic for this to be what pops the AI bubble, but boy would I love to see that. "Rampant 'Blatant Plagiarism' Machines Foiled By Copyright Laws Working As Intended. " (via Scalzi's bsky)

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Short answer: No. But the idea of throwing simulated "hindsight" at the issue rather than a focus on truth and facts seems misguided at best.

This story is just wild. It's like if Isuzu had sued Collin Raye over "Little Red Rodeo," or Oldsmobile had censured Kathy Mattea for "455 Rocket." Or Ford-Lincoln-Mercury over "Mercury Blues" or "Mustang Sally" or or or ....

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices. To which I say motherfucker did you never hear about Napster
