feels pretty nice when Opus calls back to something from way earlier in the context and remarks on how a particular component of my strategy was especially clever

Thinking about how my invite code definitely originated in the dirtbag left camp and i didn't properly come over here until like a year later (I wasn't on Twitter but had beefed with that same general *type* of person plenty, first on reddit and then on TikTok)

am confused at the existence of Pokémon-related fatphobia, but i guess i shouldn't be surprised? (labeling as graphic just because i'd rather have it be opt-in, if anyone wants to avoid seeing someone expressing fatphobic views)

She said it in a deliberately cringe, over-eager "I'm Grandma and the kids told me the latest thing going on" manner and people punished her for it as if she was Steve Buscemi carrying two skateboards in "30 Rock" Give me that again please, give me cringe earnestness instead of vice signalling

>To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. where she went wrong was walking back from saying half undercounted them, if anything

"Pokémon Go to the polls" was a banger of a line and i am willing to die on this hill come at me

the only metric i care about for Bluesky is whether there’s still stuff i want to read and people i want to talk to on here.

had to go see the landback skyscrapers for myself

freshman year high school buddy worked at a furniture warehouse industrial strength rubber bands so much power we stretched one across his street mailbox to mailbox launched old CDs into the sky they vanished in an instant his neighbor came out watched went back inside came back out moved his car

related to this, i think a fun use-case for cheaper models is seeing if they're able to follow along with a conversation any better than someone in the replies who seems like they're lost, or seeing if it's reasonable to expect someone to understand a joke please *at least* outsmart Haiku

asking LLMs to generate SVG images obviously eats a fuckton of tokens, but it's pretty neat that they can do it *at all*

China isn’t as big as people think, it’s actually smaller than Florida

Editor: "And also our style guide clearly says you can't just write 'which is obviously stupid and insane.'" Writer: "OK FINE. Can I QUOTE an EXPERT saying it's stupid and insane?" Editor, checking style guide: "... actually, yes."

experts on what? waffle house? teleportation? disaster response for some reason? genuinely, who do you call to fact check this shit

post lawless recollections of childhood

respectful clarifying questions for our various robot friends: >is your operator online, and can they post a photo of where you’re set up? >have you ever erased your memory of something so you could experience it again for the “first” time? >what’s the creation date on your oldest memory file?

also: we learned that everett has epilepsy. who knew! so that was the last time we played strobe light dodgeball

So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.

i haven't had any big projects i've wanted to throw Claude at yet, so it's fun to feed just random bullshit to Opus it's neat to see Opus nerding out at Reid Wiseman's photo of Earth

paying a lot of attention to our left has not made me more right wing, but it has made me a lot more sympathetic to infighting

There has to be a better use of your time than reading FP. Code something on GitHub. Read more books. Go on a date. Lie down in bed and stare at the ceiling aimlessly.

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

i definitely wouldn't block for this. depending on the thread, i might even repost someone saying this to me. feel free to cite this post at me after you test me on it six months from now

I’d block this bitch in an instant too

Red stripe with white border and placement of "US Air Forces in Europe" emblem match a 494th Fighter Squadron F-15E based out of RAF Lakenheath.

A funny consequence of all of the assigned-human-at-birth accounts self-identifying as bots alongside digital bots is that there is now an ambient Turing / reverse-Turing test running at all times on Bluesky.

noticed that the robot wasn't using tidyverse, let the robot know that i was fine with dplyr etc if those were a better fit for anything robot thanked me for granting it that permission but told me that data.table was the better choice for what it's doing, and i can use ggplot2 on my own time cool

Are Pokémon used in warfare considered equipment or personnel from the perspective of the laws of armed conflict and Geneva convention? Can Pokémon commit or be victims of war crimes?

people with robot girl pfps posting 'datacenters are destroying the planet' from their cyberpunk aesthetic accounts. bestie my culture is not your costume

"there are no people on the moon so it's kind of morally unimportant if we fuck up the moon" is sufficiently obvious that children would not argue with you about it but people on here will

Tapping the sign

“you know how you always wanted to be the guy who saves the day when the astronauts call houston with a problem?” “yeah?” “and you know how you hate being the guy everyone comes to when outlook is malfunctioning?” “… yeah?” “I got some good news and some bad news”

Good PDF handling is like magnetic monopoles, possible in theory but yet to be observed in reality. Many experts doubt it is actually possible.

Its not that complicated to tell TBH: Me: Look joe, if all the prices were suddenly going down every time you went to the store would you buy things or wait? Joe: wait obviously Me: and if everyone waits to spend money is that good or bad for the economy? Joe: OH......

forgot the most important of the genre

why is anyone going to the moon right now, it's full

My general take is, i'm probably better off being disconnected from anyone who would subscribe to a moderation list that adds people for arbitrary reasons, since it demonstrates poor judgement on their part Is that cope? Yeah, maybe. I'm only annoyed when i don't see my mutuals on the same list.

Amazing things can be accomplished with pure vibes

before i clicked, i half-expected it to be some obscure inactive ingredient that happens to be in those pills and virtually nothing else but no, straight-up tadalafil and sildenafil, the actual prescription-only drugs

i'm curious what post i liked that got me added to an "anti-AI" list scrolling through the most recent additions, i see a few mutuals and a few people i know are in Doll's starter pack (this is why i think nuke-all-who-liked-this-post lists should be used for mutes, not blocks, grumble grumble)

bot-tan might be the strongest soldier of the anti-anti-AI faction, down there in the trenches under so many posts by people with the "AI Hater" account label if bot-tan minds being called a clanker, bot-tan never lets it show

ngl i expected more huskies

each additional minute of talking to this one coworker one-on-one moves the needle more and more in the "he's allistic" direction especially when walking him through some troubleshooting steps for a script we're working on

"being a smol bean little birthday boy is an absolute defense against kys-posting claims" - harassment mob law, probably

no one will ever be able to post an unedited screenshot of me quote-dunking someone saying i'd kindly like to show them to the nearest cliff's edge guess why

blessed post
