Learning Japanese has done wonders for my time management skills. Now instead of watching YouTube endlessly each night, some of that’s dedicated to learning something! If you also feel in a rut, try out something new! Just having a creative hobby, or building to a goal is great!

Glaze 2.2 is out. It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs). Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu Mac users do not need to update. We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.

Okay so if the greatest weakness of LLMs are that they do not have a working model of the world (inspired by “should I drive 100m to the car wash), then we should bank on that and insist on familiarising and mastering our own models of the world, whatever we have

This. It is utter bullshit.

"You can't take away GenAI what about the people who use it?! 😭😭😭" Fuck 'em. Fuck every last one of them. The scrapers DDoS us every waking fucking hour, making it a nightmare to keep things running. I have ZERO sympathy for folks addicted to the plagiarism machine that lies to you.

LRS(keet) I love how Japan gave China the middle finger, the Chinese said they’ll boycott and the entire world was like “FINALLY THE ASSHOLES ARE GONE GO GO GO”

Tourism to Japan officially passed the 40 million mark in 2025. Tourism from China decreased due to a row sparked by comments from Japan's PM. But a spike in tourism from other countries relative to 2024 more than made up the difference.

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.
