This is true.

i sent this to my parents on the heels of all the bullshit a couple weeks ago, and they still haven't replied. wild as hell not to respond to messages from your child like this, but i'm less and less surprised every day.

met a lot of hegseths-in-training during my time in college. what a miserable way to be.

Does anyone know how to relax

the thing that these pieces (and the public at large) seems to miss is that, given the exposure, these kids would've been radicalized in the streets of IRC chat rooms, too.

The white supremacist conceit that everyone in antiquity was living under some kind of global jim crow segregation is just complete bullshit news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

and remember, kids: nothing bad can happen; it can only good happen.

how writing emails to request professional references from former professors feels as a new grad

Actually, Aune, what Jeremy sent was hilarious.

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

i am literally BEGGING you guys to update your phones as updates become available, not two years after the fact. like.. i really need y'all to understand that these are not your mama's exploits. it's all fun and "me to the FBI agent in my phone" memes until your identity gets snatched. 🤡

imagine, as a C++ standards committee member in this Year of our Lord, 2025, voting to keep the language inherently unsafe, even as !!!SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT!!! of zero-day exploits rely on mismanaged memory to implant and execute their malicious payloads.

@apple we truly don't need every other button to present a new sheet when tapped

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

very, very gross. i hope this interviewee gets karma's kiss as soon as fucking possible.

the #Apple pause is crazy... also the Apple hand-triangle.

anyway, today i learned that Roku TVs have a port listening for requests to their "External Control Protocol" API endpoints, which is information that i ***will*** be having fun with >:)

baby's first (publicly available) Python package :')

i've just published the `lovdtools` Python package to GitHub and PyPI! it provides a configurable API client for querying the Global Variome shared Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD) instance. 🧬 it's still early days, but you can see the project repository here: github.com/hyletic/lovd...

every phone commercial these days is just the character demonstrating gross incompetence about a supremely straightforward task and having to consult an LLM to assist: "hey gemini, how do i wipe my ass?"

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

if you aren't using Proton's services already, you should be. end-to-end encryption is kind of their ~whole thing~, and at this point, you could comfortably supplant most of Google Workspace with their products. their free tier offerings are pretty generous and even come with a VPN service. :o)

what sexual orientation is it when you're aroused by the schadenfreude you feel at the imminent demise of a billionaire's business venture? because i'm that.

Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"

An average Web Framework landing page be like

this is where i'll be posting about my EDS research, in case you're interested: bsky.app/profile/hyle...

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

here's the deal: talk crazy to the machine for long enough and the machine will eventually talk crazy back to you. a context window saturated with nothing but "memories" of delusional conversation is, of course, much more likely to elicit hallucinatory responses from an LLM than one that isn't.

Gen Z doesn't Understand Filesystems. It's not their fault. Apple's early abstraction of mobile data storage has caused...confusion to say the least. But what does the *real* iOS filesystem look like? As a researcher myself; it's kind of insanely complicated:

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

if you've never played Myst, the mobile version is completely reimplemented with Epic's Unreal Engine, and it looks the part. no more point-and-click game mechanics. you can play the first bit of it for free, AND YOU SHOULD! culture yourself!

any time i start momentarily thinking that maybe web development could be kind of fun, i'm brought abruptly back to reality when i remember how the entire web runs on a scripting language whose original purpose was just to handle, like, form submissions — and now Discord's using half my RAM.

do you ever think about the film Everything Everywhere All at Once and cry a little

Ooh what if we adopted SaaD Software as a Disc Physically put it in your PC. If some company tries to revoke your access to it you can be like "good luck with that dude, it's in my house"

I have a tremendous idea: SaaP Software as a Product Instead of paying every month, you just buy it once and then you just kind of keep it Who's with me

This amazing HIV mRNA vaccine could be a cure or protection against HIV- more studies are needed. By halting $500 million for mRNA research funding, RFK Jr is squashing important mRNA research protecting against: 🔸H5N1 pandemic 🔸HIV 🔸pancreatic and other cancers 🔸autoimmune disease #medsky 🛟😷🧪

crazy crazy crazy BOOTS tea down, mama.

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

everybody respond to this with your current least favorite tv commercial trope. for me, it's the actor's understated look of amazement, invariably punctuated with a little smirk-n-scoff moment, when they finally discover how much easier The Product could have made their chaotic life this whole time

it's not even conspiratorial to say that the State is trying to cover up a sex trafficking network anymore... like... it is truly obtuse to portray what's at hand as anything else.

"Wee Man's body is kind of tea." – my boyfriend (not wrong) just now

massive rape scene jump scare in The Assessment btw. maybe one of the longest, most overindulgent "we fucking get the point" ones i've seen in a film, too. so.. consider this your trigger warning. 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
