I've long posited that more and more multi-racial white-presenting people will exist as we move forward, and most of us aren't going to be the types to put up with racist bullshit. I'm glad to see this playing out!

Continuing my mixed boi ways with a cash in the TOE tournament (2-7 Triple Draw, Omaha 8, and Stud 8 mix) at Planet Hollywood tonight, and now watching @ckbwop.bsky.social at the FT. No limit hold'em is so 2004. 🤣

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

It’s like AI startups go out of their way to show how uncreative they are in their advertising.

What a fun run for the Mariners this season! I'm still a Rangers fan but it's always fun to see the local adopted home team doing so well and generating so much energy.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Really loved this interview on the work & role complexity of our security leaders at Microsoft!

It's Patch Tuesday and ASP.NET Core has a doozy, with a CVSS score of 9.9, our highest ever. Let's examine why. The bug enables http request smuggling, which on its own for ASP.NET Core would be nowhere near that high, but that's not how we rate things... * Thread- (1/7)

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations. She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly! Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

Here's an AI summary of a 12h old article that references the Brewers record after their 116th game of a 162 game regular season - a record they attained on August 9th. #aislop

Fukuyama debunks the AI abundance myth: we can't feed or clothe all not due to a lack of smarts, but priorities and resources. The world simply can't sustain the abundant lifestyle AI proponents promise, lacking even the electricity to run the very AI they favor.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

a thing i've always wanted from computers is for them to be wrong half the time about math

One the craziest elements about cybersecurity is you have half the industry sat worrying about cyberwar!1! and going on about quantum and AI, then you have you have the operational reality of what is actually happening on the ground - it bares no resemblance, at all, to what people are focused on.
