Allow me to share what happens with an almost-imperceptible typo in an order for hundreds of one-foot ethernet cables.

"Goon morning" is a helluva a typo and I'm really glad I'm not the person who made it.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

be it about pushing teenagers to suicide, or ddosing the internet, the plagiarism, the deskilling of labor, or being funded by neonazis attempting to summoning the antichrist, many people see gpt/chatbots as a picket line and they aren't really interested in signing permission slips to cross it heh

load bearing analogies and "but what if we multiply all the numbers by infinity" shit has always been my problem with Yud that and like, assuming that some previous part has been agreed to; he is entirely convinced that he is infinitely persuasive

Calling his blog posts 'the sequences' and dismissing people until they read them all was kind of an early sign of AI fans taking a worrying religious turn

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

taking myself seriously like some kind of chump. my dignity is an undermonetized asset

The genetics subreddits are so wild cuz they're mostly normal and boring but every couple of days an obvious teenager comes in asking how to mutate human DNA at home and it becomes the most passionate and alarmed place u ever saw for a few hours til the kid gets bored and goes off to play Roblox

Vor 4 Jahren erschien übrigens mein Buch, „Amerikas Gotteskrieger“. Was gab es damals Empörung wegen des Titels (und Inhalts) - die Warnung vor christlichem Nationalismus & Theokratie (noch dazu von einer jungen Frau!) wurde als hysterisch abgetan. Jetzt titelt der Spiegel genau das: „Gotteskrieger“

It’s wild that Kate Nash, someone with industry/media support and a substantial fanbase, cannot afford to tour. We’ve built a system where the only profitable path for the majority of artists is absolutely not their art. It’s a system destined to kill bands before they even begin, and that sucks.

When wildfires hit Northern California in 2017, Sonoma County Library & the #InternetArchive / Community Webs program preserved blogs, videos & volunteer sites documenting the community’s response. Learn how Community Webs made it possible ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/09/24/s... 🧵

i mean, AI is arguably racking up more student debt than anyone ever thought possible, and it's very disappointing

When a typo in your Google search leads to new and exciting philosophical positions

“There is no joy more intense than that of coming upon a fact that cannot be understood in terms of currently accepted ideas." Astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who decoded spectral lines to deduce the elemental composition of stars, was born #OTD in 1900. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Harvard Observatory

[logging on every day] man what

When constructing tuple structs, you can use curly braces with integer keys. These are identical: let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true) let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};

My only concerns about trans children playing high school and college sports: 1) Do I have to go to the game? and 2) >sigh< Fine. What time does it start?

AI is cooked

Huh, cancel culture works. Major backpedal from Academia [dot] "edu", who updated their Terms of Use today, probably because thousands of academics deleted their accounts when they posted new Terms last week granting them use of users' voice and likeness. That's now removed. Still a predatory site!

in heaven after the rapture looking down at all the harry potter fans left behind

So yesterday Trump designated Antifa terrorists alongside a White House fact sheet on the "radical left" threat. Democratic Leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer haven't said a word about it.

I suspect we are, probably for our own mental health, underestimating the degree to which the Trump administration is dominated by the worst swingers imaginable

talk to your doctor to see if pumpkin spice estradiol is right for you

I hope the rapture takes the slow walkers

Rapture day! #grwm

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit. So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

The president has informed me that reporting on his crypto scams is not in the public interest. by Brendan Carr

Occassionally folks reach out to me to ask "how do I hire embedded rust folks for contract/full time work?", and this is generally the answer I give folks: gist.github.com/jamesmunns/c... Feel free to share/etc., I'm all about more folks finding good full time gigs in embedded rust :)

She's at it again, folks.

Something I keep pointing out is that CS do not actually train in science. Go look at Berkeley, MIT, Stanford CS degree requirements. They never take lab classes, they never actually practice the scientific method as epistemology. They literally do not know how to think in a scientific way

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

pivoting to normal & good stories about brave soldiers of the mighty west getting heroically blown up to bits in 4k by the scary oriental other after depicting run of the mill power play bdsm is banned everywhere for being too frighteningly sickening a depiction of the worst parts of human nature

Wait a second. I thought SpaceX was a fireworks company???

Complain directly! Spam their feedback form! Make the cowards hurt

Bluesky made the mistake of thinking that they're so entrenched in culture that people won't leave because they've enjoyed exactly one year of popularity, only made possible by twitter's sins

The number of people burned alive inside a Tesla is now .. 148 Statistically that's ~2,5 times more per Tesla (!) than the world's 'most fire hazardous car' ever: the infamous '70s Ford Pinto (Taken out of production for 27 fire deaths After 3.2 million produced) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Eliezer Yudkowsky, quoted in the NY Times. For anyone who has followed the "AI Safety" / "Less Wrong" discussions, this is...well, something.

“Stop making up these numbers” from someone whose entire grift for the last 20 years has been pretending to have quantified the probabilities of events about which the kindest true thing that can be said is that they have not yet been rigorously proven to be literally impossible.

Has anyone done a "who say it, Hitler or Charlie Kirk?" quiz yet

Stop citing that MIT "95% of Ai pilots fail" study - the headline appeals to my prejudices too, but 1. its data is the authors' 18/19yo mates 2. all the $ appear to be "ARR" 3. I don't trust a single number 4. THE PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE THE AUTHORS' Web3 GRIFT! JESUS! pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/21/m...

Literally nothing short of physical restriction will ever be able to compete against a robot with infinite patience to yes-and their theory that love and thought are the counterparts of energy and mass. The level of entrenchment I'm seeing on forums from heavy chatbot users, words are useless.

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

Cool! Happy with the playground result. Love how instant compilation is :D I've probably committed crimes against the web with my HTML/CSS skills, but it works :) diondokter.github.io/device-drive... The home page is super mega WIP, but that wait can until other more important stuff is done.

... linkedin removed one of my comments saying dhh was a "loud asshole" and that's why Rails had gone down in popularity, saying it went against their Professional Communtiy Guidelines.
