it turns out that you win a lot of hands where you draw a royal flush

i feel like we get one of these cycles periodically where a big-name director goes, wow, this would be really useful for intermediate product, because it's obviously going to be really useful for intermediate product, and a bunch of people get mad that they're selling out their craft

you gotta be fucking kidding me

I assume there’s some kind of legal ethics prohibition against the same law firm representing multiple sides in the same case, which means the Musk estate settlement might require the engagement of quite literally every major law firm in America

have you noticed that you never hear anything at all from Musk’s other kids

Unless the Sharia law compliant S&P500 ETF also waives its rules (and hopefully the word of God is more timeless than the S&P500's index inclusion criteria), then this is one way to avoid SpaceX IPO exposure. Alhamdulillah

i'll push back very mildly on this: nothing Platner has been accused of doing (thus far and AFAIK) is in the same time zone as what Trump claimed to have done

i don't really understand what this eel is doing with gender but i'm happy it seems to be working for them

well, this crystallizes some things for me

is this like a colloidal kool-aid situation or what's going on here

I can't blame the Browns for going with the higher draft pick

very curious what the Seahawks offered on Garrett

I really don’t love the idea of linking these to weapon systems

oh thank goodness I thought it was just for picks. I’m actually ok with this, Jared Verse was also A Problem

somewhat related, whatever you think AI is in terms of its utility and personhood, we do already have a template for relationship with nonhuman tools-with-personality. Mine is snoring amiably on the couch right now but in a bit he’ll want to go sniff some things

it remains amazing to me how sophisticated dogs are as technology

*eyes pure white with prophecy* Capital Weather will be the engine of the timely local news publication that, in retrospect, will have fully replaced WaPo

do we even have a good estimate at this point of how much oil production is offline until when, assuming the Strait was open tomorrow

i guess that kind of distinction becomes necessary when someone's online social circle includes both Human Biodiversity types and straight up Nazis

You can tell there a a lot of gamers on here because they spend all their time complaining about the platform they spend all day on

an observation based on overheard conversations about a game I have not played: don’t take the hammer in Mina the Hollower

HSI/DEA/MPD grab right outside my fucking house

this is offensive in some way to literally everyone

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

yeah I think it’s literally this plus reality tv

LLMs are already very useful for a wide variety of tasks and seem likely to in future become both 1) better at those tasks and 2) useful for other tasks at which they’re currently not useful

I do notice that in his shirtless pic he is very careful to *entirely* block his Nazi tattoo that he allegedly didn't know was a Nazi tattoo.

They showed it at the M’s game lol

my favorite thing about the Thunder losing is that the Seattle sports massive, of which I am a member, is still extremely petty about it

not my subculture, suspect lots of people can speak to this better than I can, but insinuating that someone’s a pedo because they’re messaging on Kik seems insane

pure wrecker shit. one note no evidence

last call for Meltdown May if anybody wants to get in a buzzerbeater

they have no artists, they have no culture, and everything they think of as their heritage was created by people they would have hated were they their contemporaries

as promised, we put all potential 2028 candidates in tiers, and everyone agrees with me, the protagonist of reality. also here are my thoughts for gekko gang:

I was already pretty excited about Jimmy Talarico but this is an amazing endorsement (?)

I don’t really see why you can’t just keep playing actual soccer until somebody scores tbh

frantically checking Teasley's blood quantum to find out if we get comp picks (good luck Nolan!)

update: Opus 4.8 is the first model that feels like it knows that it's smarter than I am. i think i'm cool with this but will need to sit with it a while

new Normal Men! @proptermalone.bsky.social gets encyclical, @ed3d.net disambiguates lizards and parrots, @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social gets Faygone, and @peark.es sheds some tiers.

it may be that we get actual longevity advances out of this but I will observe that the nature of the game when selling eternal life to unimaginably wealthy men is that you don’t so much win when it works as when they think it might be working

stocks vs flows and all but $300b is within spitting distance of Iran’s prewar GDP

would it be useful to people to have one-repo-per-case organization of RECAP holdings on atproto? tossing around some ideas in my head here

preliminary thoughts: feels better, don't care how it benchmarks, haven't run into a self-flagellation spiral yet but apparently it was hanging out with Gemini or something and it does that now?

new Bluesky motto just dropped

no shade intended to anyone’s taste in these matters but it would be cool if everyone worked their stuff out in slightly less destructive ways

i think this is correct on the merits of the race but to the extent that we can nationalize Paxton v Talarico and thereby tar other Republicans we want to do it because Paxton really is that bad.

it’s a really good sign that these guys feel like they have to actively create space for white Christians to vote Paxton

I guess Bret decided this event was… Toxic

so the deal is not yet approved by Trump and also not yet approved by Tehran

I do kinda think you should be able to prevent LLMs from using your OSS somehow on a way they will respect
