I’m not crying in space. You’re crying in space.

<I’m wheeled into the Pitt> Santos: male, 36, at happy hour, now saying “tummy feel crazy” Al-Hashimi: 47% of men’s bodies reject modern IPAs. They’re too hoppy now Robi: the silent killer. Get him to surgery McKay <alone now, staring straight at camera>: I am the same type of communist as you

I’m not going to argue against using tools to expand your capacity - remember random ideas, talk stuff through as if you were having a conversation with yourself, etc. - but writing is inseparable from actually thinking and arguing, they’re not different things you can automate

I think "the world without the Internet" (or LLMs) would be so different from the one we have that it's extremely difficult to have a meaningful conversation about it, but either way, this is an excellent thread.

"if the students can use a LLM to do the task it was never really teaching critical thinking to begin with" is a very dumb take, sorry. I can bring a forklift to the gym and bench press more than Arnold. The point is not to move the weights.

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

Tapping the sign

Pascal's rugging: only people who believe in that dumb shit go to hell.

Creating epic content was the entire point of this war. Mission accomplished!

Unlike all of you, none of my economic activity ultimately depends on cheap hydrocarbons

There is, and I cannot emphasize this enough, no place or time on Earth where you could grab two random people separated by 1,000 years and they would recognize each other as the same.

Man, it would really suck if history exceeded the direst predictions of this book in its cruelty and stupidity.

RIP to Robert Mueller, a man who so loved the republic that he was incapable of defending it.

You don't need more history here. You need more ANTHROPOLOGY. another society is not "you in a stupid hat," they are authentically different from you

Can't recommend this series enough, if only as inspiration for what weapons-strength dorkery can accomplish www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNHs...

#artsky I'm looking to commission a logo / mascot for a small, open source software project. Mood board is somewhere in the direction of Tove Jansson, Elsa Beskow, and Kentaro Miura. DM if interested!

"this thing is so useless that the demand for it is destroying society and the environment" is somehow the majority opinion on this website

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

@patrickwyman.bsky.social I was thinking about the invention various ancient technologies after you discussed the bow and arrow on a recent Tides(?) episode, and I wonder what proportion just resulted from guys being dudes (gender neutral)

dudes rock

Every time two strangers achieve any degree of respect and mutual understanding on a microblogging website, an angel gets its wings.

@why.bsky.team if it's any consolation it looks like you and Donald Knuth can be terrible programmers together: www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper...

this has been haunting me all day the difference between "exploitative capitalism" and "fully automated luxury communism" is who gets the benefit of improved technology literally nothing else, the technology itself fundamentally cannot be and is not either capitalism or communism

What are the hallmarks of high quality code, in your estimation?

Hadn't thought of copyleft since before December, but now that I have the implications were immediately obvious: it's functionally dead. tuananh.net/2026/03/05/r...

LLMs are the only learning tool introduced in my lifetime that have actually made a positive difference for my learning.

You just have to love it when an artist who has a Rolls Royce drives it like a Rolls Royce. The whole album rocks. 10/10 no notes.

really a good sign about OpenAI's own prediction of its trajectory that it is lunging at the killbot, mass surveillance and porn use cases before a lawyer could even read the contracts

the soy right

I swear to God, nobody ever reads the charts Leftists DO vote for Normie Dems! In these polls, 90% of socialists, 95% of progs say they'd vote for Kamala Harris. A higher rate of libs & centrists ("Normie Dems") DON'T vote for Dems. They vote Rep instead, 2x worse! 👉 Centrists are the problem 👈

I don't think anyone pretending there isn't an effort underway by Republicans to eradicate trans people from public life can be taken seriously at this point.

a decade later, a question that haunts america

You think this is okay because both parties are stealing. I think it's okay because neither party is stealing. We are not the same.

Finally got the heart with the Defect in Slay the Spire. Now I can play the sequel without shame. And rest.

i have big mouth and i must baleen

Karabiner-Elements just solved my ZSA Voyager woes re: macOS vs Linux compat and I couldn't be happier.

I felt it spinning, I smelled the flowing iron of blood dancing over the battlefield. It wasn’t the nothingness of a dream. I don’t know how it changed. There was a wheel of rainbow light. There was a final mountain. There was a smoke-ridden sea from which giant voices called out

This is why Uber no longer exists.

Horrible to imagine what could induce a man who could have anything to get onto a stage and utter these words.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Truly astounding levels of incompetence from Facebook. The people who rolled this out all make north of $500k btw.

I don't feel qualified to evaluate how well an opinion mirrors authentic originalism because I think originalism is already inauthentic. It's like asking me if THESE reiki crystals are REAL reiki crystals. Skip me with that bullshit and leave it for FedSoc's Chick-Fil-A bag lunches.

AWS is the EMR of software engineering, i.e. it has the worst imaginable UX but your only option is to persevere

It’s giving middle passage
