It is very difficult to get decent, verifiable information out of anywhere in the Middle East right now and I really discourage everyone from treating the war like a football game. Share only what can be verified.

Sri Lanka rescues 30 onboard sinking Iranian vessel - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/sri-lanka-rescues-30-onboard-sinking-iranian-vessel

The Ignalina NPP, before all of the constituent RBMKs were decommissioned, used to have a public dashboard whereby you could inspect the power output, and it had a cute little animation of the core doing its thing that was kind of reminiscent of a candle flickering.

yes, I think AI should replace my job, because it will do the parts of it useful for the war machine much much worse and with gaping security holes

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

enforcing Terms of Use against the military could set some really interesting precedent under this supreme Court

at what point do i need to just start reading military theory out loud in the park like a street preacher

if anthropic actually wants to save the world like it says, it should replace Claude's constitution with the entire right hand side of specificsuggestions.com which you do not want to view on corporate hardware

the only way a body type can become a "trend" is if the body itself is considered a consumable good, like a pair of jeans how about we...not do that

idk about y'all but the LLMs seem pretty useful for sabotague, it looks like normal work

hey anthropic and openAI folks, I'm not saying, I'm just saying. if you find somewhere there's a gap...

if I were iran I'd be thinking about how to take AWS offline by hitting the networking links, because a whole lot of the AI and .mil stuff runs on AWS

thinking about how my generation went from 'find solace' to 'find cope' in about 3 years and just what that says about society

*surfer voice* whoa man you gotta watch out for those submunish.

Reposted from @hamidrezaaz.bsky.social on X because it's the only analysis of Iranian strategy I've seen that seems to think they may actually have a plan.

Hey is anyone reading this in Maine because if I'm reading Ballotpedia correctly the deadline to apply for the Senate primary is March 16

anyone have updated constitutional convention math?

That’s over a million people. Lebanon has 5-6 million people in total. We’re one of the smallest countries in the world, and Israel is rendering Lebanon’s agricultural areas uninhabitable by ethnically cleansing its people, spraying its land with herbicides and obliterating everything else.

look I barely know most things outside of what I've read *hand to earpiece* o-oh. oh. oh no.

they're fucking with the AP. at the very least this should be a red line lol

once again I reiterate that I have never found a more effective barometer for "is this space safe for my fat cis body" than "show me your specific policies for creating a safe space for trans bodies" it has a 100% success rate everywhere from doctors to waxing to clothing-optional soaking pools

so who gets the iranian proto nuke, china, russia, or some secret third thing

Shutting this down is quite possibly the most urgent task of our lifetime and I don’t know who would do that but it needs to happen soon

my favorite American midwest / Canadian (sorry i don't know provence) accent thing is "sitchy-ation"

thinkin about how pedo blackmail was basically filling the same role as ketracel white

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

i can't tell if dear leader is essentially suicidal because they botched the redactions and that's the only reason for his second term, or if it's as simple as he goes with whoever asks him for a favor but either way it's pretty fucking grim

yet again asking people to mic the crowd and balance their levels instead of having it sound like there's an unenthusiastic crowd because you're aiming your cardioid and shotgun mics at the speakers

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout. No fucking Nazi shit. Period.

my kingdom for a reasonable, non-AI smartphone-software-keyboard optimized code editor for Android and optionally iOS

Personally I think it's a good idea to understand the stakes of choices you're asking others to make, even when you believe, as I do, that those choices are moral and worth the costs.

electronics people, if I wanted to add a permanent mass readout to one of my containers, are there any low cost scale or strain gauge or whatever things I can slap on it and then send the data out either over wifi or LoRa? accuracy to a gram is fine, I want to know how full the rice container is

I can't believe they just admit that their vp of animation could make less than $200k a year out in the open like that

i know the xkcd automation joke, but spending time automating a thing that happens infrequently and you could do yourself is a pretty good learning exercise. it's much easier to do than a harder task, and makes you faster at it when the more critical task comes. "AI" throws a wrench in this, ofc

remember when there was a moral panic about millennials saying "no problem" instead of "you're welcome"?

elon musk wants to conquer Olympus Mons but he's never even been able to summit pubis mons

here's what i don't get. if you actually read the story of Sodom and Gemmorah, you'd know it's primarily because a small group of the citizenry raped an angel, a being who's gender is incomprehensible to witnesses every other time they're mentioned.

But it's not just low wages. Work itself—increasingly gigified or contracted out, and stripped of basic benefits—has become more precarious than ever. For many, the real threat isn't job loss. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours or stability to keep them housed.

US Naval officials told shipping firms that US navy doesnt have the capacity to do this at the moment www.lloydslist.com/LL1156505/US...

It should be a scandal that APNSA Marco Rubio has kept Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the dark like this bsky.app/profile/edac...

maybe one good thing can come out of a terrible useless war against iran is people deciding fossil fuel dependence is a huge risk again and we should switch to renewables, because on top of all the dead civilians and defiling of self-determination, a lot of refineries are going to burn

Suez of the Skies

Hey, cool. @lastweektonight.com just did a segment using reporting I did w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social Oliver was talking about body cams--and how law enforcement agencies have often undermined their potential The same body-cams Dems are centering that ICE reforms on www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP4_...

annoyed how we're still at a state where people are marketing the machines as 'do-everything with no need to train the user' when one of the ways to increase accuracy for code is to start with "write a checklist for doing x" and then telling it to follow the same checklist
