How come right when we finally started getting good “smart” light bulbs that aren’t dumb as fuck and complete shit about 6 years ago all the landlords removed all the normal fucking e26 fixtures I hate them

I do not understand why Apple home can’t just write 0 to cluster 0x6 attribute 0x4003 but instead is making me pair every individual appliance with a developer app to manually set the power on state for light bulbs. This is a pretty universally supported feature wtf Apple.

as senior as i am, i do not have enough hubris to tell anyone i don't need the grunt work anymore. i don't think this effect goes away with experience.

I don’t think you’re ready to talk about Phonewave (name subject to change.)

What is the point of comments like this? Like no fucking shit. The owners of the organizations doing the reporting clearly favor conservative fascist movements and literally have a track record of supporting the third reich until the last possible second when it was no longer popular. Dumb fuck

But fairness in women’s sports that the complainant has never watched might be affected y’all I just don’t know how to weigh the importance of these civil rights being stripped vs the fairness of like 20 people competing internationally in multibillion dollar entertainment franchises.

Never trust anyone who skis.

The anti-trans side has spent years building up propaganda claiming this doesn't happen and I need you all to know they are lying.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

It feels so weird to remember a time when sports betting was widely considered to be a scumbag activity

I had an idea. Was it a good idea? Probably not.

As a trans person, I was chuckling very grimly the other day, imagining the AMA of all organizations is somehow my defender. What a frightening world.

When even the skeptics brains are cooked and think the lying token prediction machine is useful we might be fucked ngl

I genuinely think moving to a suburb, especially one with an HOA, breaks your brain

National. Treasure.

it's incredible to think how the best thing financially and reputationally for so many companies would be to simply not have a CEO

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Fun fact: all journalists that are both sidesing basically anything are lying sacks of shit with an agenda.

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

i just realized "incel hitting himself in the face with a hammer to become more appealing" is the plot of fight club

‘ "a debt of gratitude" was owed to the anonymous late collector, whose films - largely focused on his love of trains and canals, including hundreds of home videos - were donated to FIF after he died.’ I’m tearing up on the train. Thank goodness for nerds ✊

Random diners play music from this century challenge: impossible

2035 narrator: It was, in fact, meth again.

one reason i dont think llms are conscious entities in their own right is that the idea of a soul being written in /markdown/ is prima facie absurd i don’t need any other proof that this makes them merely an extrusion of our own brains

I. I thought it was a joke. How is this real.

It should be illegal to call this “uncured bacon” bacon. The shit is always like covered in sugar and fucks ip my cast iron every time I grab the wrong package

Kids these days just don’t know what they’re missing in that small batch artisanal Montana methamphetamine

This might be the absolute funniest inevitability of Dorsey’s fake federation platform

Sad

Sad

Just like with drugs: rich people go to Betty Ford, poor people go to prison.

And now it comes out he was 40 rows back and they put him next to a live mic. The BAFTA's are going to know hell intimately by the time the lawyers are done

What’s even funnier is that those kind of guys are exactly the input sources being used to make the suggestions in the first place that surface those suggestions more often in the llm output. Because they offer that shit unprompted about random inconveniences.

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed? Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.

like look at that blue whale I just reposted. Is the blue whale “relevant”? no it’s sublime. it’s transcendent. it’s a blessing from God. these and a trillion other qualities are more valuable than “relevance” ffs you should not even be able to say “relevant” without laughing

never close your tabs /thread

I don't know why, but the judge is now citing the historical precedent of Charles I of England. This is an incredibly ominous sign for Yoon.

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

To definitively answer the burning question I know has been keeping everyone up at night: Yes, NSO Virtual Boy is compatible with TOOL 10,000 Days. And it looks amazing.

happy lunar new year!

Yay horsies happy new year

Command and Conquer may be the perfect '90s game. Its main influences were Dune and the Gulf War. It has those post-Cold War brainworms about Europe and it feels like what happens when NATO has to fight Goreans. Completely alien now, like finding a T-shirt of Bart Simpson bombing Bagdhad.
