Happy “Every cloud services company I’ve ever used emails me about a React vuln even though I’ve never ever used React” Day to all who celebrate.

This is hilarious but I sorta think Kohler is (half) in the right, here. Did anyone think the poop analysis was using entirely on-device ML? What else would e2ee even mean in this context other than TLS? They really never should’ve used the term, but it’s not clear they *misused* it.

“Interest rates are high because of investor confidence in Trump” is…sort of true? Just not how they mean?

Jesus would have killed the survivors of His illegal war crime, too!

Silly tech fads are fleeting but the stock ticker symbols can last a lifetime.

Baumol’s cost disease strikes again! (Also, that “$140k-is-the-new-poverty-line” essay really stunk.)

What’s an example of a country today that has net negative migration and is flourishing? Why does the UK right think this will work?

You know a prize is prestigious when you're the only person to win it because they invented it just for you and your weak baby ego.

It's 0.3%. Which I guess makes Karp ... technically illiterate. Also, he's right that there aren't thousands of articles. It's literally over a million. So again: technically illiterate. And these are our smartest-guy-in-the-room oligarchs? Sigh.

Just realized RFK, Jr's sexy poetry was just a straight rip-off from genius.com/Leon-haywood...

Uh, so is Cloudflare having another outage? They are, right?

Putin is slaughtering Ukrainians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Ukrainians Bibi is slaughtering Palestinians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Palestinians Trump is slaughtering random fishermen to prove to his supporters that they can slaughter Hispanics

This tool is a wild roasting machine. It's by ente, which is a privacy preserving photo app company. They use Google Vision API to infer things from a photo. While it sometimes guesses the location accurately from surroundings, it's also pretty racist and sexist. 🧵1/5 theyseeyourphotos.com

So, like, they’re gonna rename the company again, right?

Cool that LinkedIn thinks I might be interested in the Airbus A330 First Officer role. Probably should learn to fly a plane before I do the interview, though, right?

It’s worth watching this video, not for what Trump says but what everyone around him lack the courage to say. It’s like if Nixon’s rants about Jews had been done in a presser. Would everyone have just smiled and nodded knowingly?

Perversely, this sort of thing actually plays into the paranoid conspiracies of actual antisemites. “Hey, let’s have a bunch of Israeli propagandists use their dark money to influence politicians and *that* will discourage antisemitism” said nobody ever.

Headline of the year.

Ich bin entsetzt über dieses "Interview". Der Medienkonzern Ringier ist langjähriger Kunde von Palantir. Ringier hat soeben die Zusammenarbeit für fünf weitere Jahre verlängert, unter anderem für die Entwicklung von KI-Projekten. www.blick.ch/politik/pala...

Boys will be boys, huh? What other hijinx will Donald’s lovable rogue sons get up to next?

I have to say, "the Genesis Mission" is, based on its name, definitely a plot by Hank Scorpio that probably involves a needlessly complex way to poison the water of a major metropolitan area.

Jobs we're OK giving to the friend of a pedophile: ❌ Econ journal editor ✅ President of the US

I dunno. I'm pro philanthropy, but, like, maybe in a just society, instead of some billionaire deciding to give $250 each to a bunch of kids...we should just tax them more? Would that be so hard?

I hope Santa brings me a Miwaukee Stan Perpler!

This is crazy.

The Geneva Conventions are apparently “woke” now.

Remigration: a racist idea that originated abroad, spread by foreigners, to make us hate other foreigners. All in the name of "protecting our identity!"

Shocking how quickly people pivoted from "copyright is over-enforced and the RIAA is bad" to "copyright is under-enforced and genAI is bad." Hard policy questions here about how to reward artistic creation, but the pivot from "remix culture" to "wait, not like that" is fast enough to give whiplash.

Racist AI George Washington! That's definitely what American civic society needs!

It’s easy to become numb to the fact that the US military is, on the President’s orders, deliberately committing ongoing war crimes for their social media value.

I truly do not understand Strategy. I think at this point they just assume that $1 of book value is worth more than $1 to shareholders. Which, admittedly, is how it did work for them for a few years.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

This demonstrates a conundrum we saw with the US invasion of Iraq, too: safety guarantees have to be ironclad for a rational actor to voluntarily give up power. Given Trump's inconsistency in anything, it's unclear to me if he could ever make a promise Maduro could, rationally, rely on.

I’m disappointed by the Mobilitäts-Initiative, but it does strike me that the outcome of a “bad” election in Switzerland is that some roads are gonna have slightly higher speed limits than I think is wise, and in the US a bad election is more like “due process and the rule of law are now suspended.”

I can’t think of anything that would inspire me less, if I had the misfortune of working at Accenture.

Dunno how I feel about the US invasion of Venezuela being announced on Truth Social. I mean it’s a minor point but just aesthetically? It kinda sucks.

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency. by JD Vance

“Software is eating the world.”

What I find weirdest here is, yes, some of the paper is obviously AI BS, but it seems like pretty straightforward "we threw a model at this problem and it seems to work" research. Which is fine! But why in god's name did they feel they needed this diagram? What were they trying to tell the reader?

Donald Trump is, it must be said, un-American.

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

You know this, already, of course, but this is all unconstitutional

Seriously though, it’s weird to twist the arms of other countries to change domestic policies in the name of “sovereignty”.

I wonder if they have a problem with White South Africans, or if they only want their erstwhile allies to restrict nonwhite immigration.

Secretary Pete Hegseth, a Princeton graduate, was unable to comprehend that photographs create mirror images of their subjects. Here's why affirmative action has lowered the standards of Ivy League admissions.

Glad to see Trump is having an absolutely normal Thanksgiving.
