Google 👏 Photos 👏 Face 👏Recognition 👏 Should 👏 Work 👏 On 👏 Dogs (It Normally Labels Dogs Of The Same Or Similar Breed As The Same Dog)

Idk about you but I bet on finding dogs

JFC new IEA report shows: orders for fossil methane plants for data centres are bigger in the US than they for *any other country for any other reason* (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) "if data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026"

When the fucking annoying pushy Facebook marketplace buyer lowballing you and being hostile about it reveals they were a troop and tried to use that as leverage >>>>

Is Claude 4.6 Sonnet (or any cheap-ish model) good at one-shotting self-contained HTML with inline SVG from scratch, or is this the kind of thing where it helps to have a built-in testing loop? Task is like a mini-report summarizing recent work outputs, charts showing what changed how much, stuff.

It’s weird that people here still pretend “We have invented a gacha game where you spend your boss’ money rolling to make your job way easier” is a reason why that company will be a disaster instead of why it will be a tremendous success

when i didn't sleep good, it's hard for me to focus (even if i take my meds and stuff). but it's also hard for me to make an executive decision to do stuff i don't need focus for.

The defining principle of our society is that people who were lucky during the dot com boom or Web 2.0 should have vast and ever-growing individual power over the entire world. The only acceptable check on their power is their squabbles with each other.

seen on twitter. answer in the thread i like: it's not about giving answers but about mapping inferential connections between candidate answers. but i also think: we can find answers. what we can't do for the most part is authoritatively compel others to accept our answers. u have to do it urself.

Like I think at some level the point of philosophy is the freedom to be wrong in deeper and more basic ways (the ability to be wrong being a precondition of inquiry). The question is just how to fit that into the larger project of the pursuit of truth, how to allocate that effort efficiently.

i wonder how Abhayakaragupta would have felt if he knew his series had to be finished by Brandon Sanderson

The data on this is actually pretty bad. 41% of Americans can’t afford a $1000 expense is a large plurality! Only 23% of Americans voted for Donald Trump

Article spends a lot of time talking about little gadget bullshit with barely a passing mention of the real big seller, air defense systems, and doesnt mention that the vast majority of this boost is solely due to Germany's Arrow 3 purchase.

I believe we could survive a strategic nuclear exchange with Russia (each side sends some of its nuclear guys to live with a host family in the other country)

America's most evil teenagers should start a network of "School Shooters' Alliance" clubs in high schools across the country. Follow all the rules and get recognized as legitimate student organization's so there's no way they can stop you.

I have located some banger tweets from my archive to retweet later when more people are awake

if AI devalues white collar "knowledge work," is any country gonna be harder hit than the US? it'd be like if Saudi Arabia invented a machine that spits out free oil. i mean i know the US has resource extraction, manufacturing, and agriculture, too. but.

I finished the huge omnibus of all four Delany Neveryon collections and now I am reading actual Conan stories.

Can't think of anything, I'll just become brain-damaged and super-evil.

unless you live somewhere extremely well-documented, you will have a major scientific revelation about a place you spend a lot of time in every few months.

🚨🚨🚨 ISRAEL THREATENS TO BOMB + ETHNICALLY CLEANSE 4,700-YEAR-OLD CITY OF TYRE, INCL. ITS UNESCO SITE

A student reports that they "LOVED" the Parfit reading on personal identity, but that reading it "made it hard to not procrastinate my project," because it led them to conceptualize their future self as a different person, a person who didn't care very much about their present self.

do not. address it

I think philosophy of science should go to jail for calling literally everything except fundamental physics “special sciences.”

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Who knew that Archimedes wrote book reviews? Sinister Ray by Lester Dent. 1987, cover art by Ronald Wilber. #booksky

suppose there’s a world that obeys Newton’s Laws and consists entirely of the Norton’s Dome setup. what should be your credence that over some time period the ball will start rolling? what about your credence that the ball will start rolling eventually?

Lol if u went to Occidental College. "Ah wuz troying to go somewhere else but I Occidentally went to College" ass. Obama went there first but then he went to Columbia because it was on Occident ass.

Goblin sharks are so beautiful. I’m so glad we can now see video and images of them in their home waters and not just specimens on a dock played for horror.
