It increasingly seems like Bluesky moderation/admin is simply actively transphobic as a matter of policy. Which, yes, was clear even before they special-cased Jesse Singal's behavior as not harassment or Jay's "WAFFLES LOL" post, but it seems it's really ratcheted up in recent weeks.

Nothing can prepare you for how literal this description is until you see the ad.

I can't get over the fact that he writes like an LLM, the chat sounds like two bots talking

lol. lmao even

jesus christ no thank you

It's wild that SDR is like one, maybe two, "things" Meanwhile HDR is like 12 dimensions of format, color space, software support, OS support, hardware performance, panel technology, calibration settings, and arbitrary target brightness levels chosen by each individual creator of any piece of media

Really awesome app guys good shit.

I think this unlocks a trophy

jesus christ dude

(once every few weeks) Ah, crap, I cut that toenail a bit too short. I'm sure that won't have horrible repercussions immediately

icymi we’re dunking on AI now

coming from windows? life pro tip! create a puzzling '3D Objects' folder on your OS of choice to make it feel more familiar

The human brain is incredible. Can't remember what I had for breakfast but somehow contains a full uncompressed WAV of the 2009 album "Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 2"

NEW: @nathaliemarechal.net and I wrote for the @bostonglobe.com about the new push for "age verification" (aka mandatory online ID checks) in Massachusetts and how it will hurt kids and help Trump. Send this to people you know in MA and tell them to send it to their state senators & the governor!

To make Marathon and Windows 11 talk to Bluetooth headphones correctly you have to disable a driver in Device Manager. Absolute clown town operating system

IGN doing a "we respect your browser's privacy setting" prompt immediately before requesting GPS permission is so crazy you have to laugh (And the privacy prompt's big red button seemed to be an "I agree for you to ignore my privacy settings" button, also lmao)

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

That Atlantic article about the best free restaurant bread includes this surprise reenactment of the "bread makes you fat?!" scene from Scott Pilgrim

a powerful reminder of the grotesqueness of man's sinful nature, thank u sonic

I wish all predatory publishers a very ChatGPT legal defense

"But Claude said-" I do not care. In fact, I no longer see you. There's only tv static outlining where your body was moments ago and the memory of you in my mind

Give all the military budget to NASA, I don't give a fuck if they gold plate their coffee makers with it or some shit, or at least what's left over after using it to pay for universal healthcare

in the PVP group chat, you have to roast yourself before anyone else can

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Meta spent billions to not figure this out

Incredible

im cryin over this tweet tsunku made like “yayy we’re making a new rhythm heaven and its so good yayyyy” and just attaching himself giving a big ol thumbs up next to it like i can feel the joy in this post. im going to start posting myself giving a thumbs up whenever i do anything i like now

and what the hell did I do to you

Thinking about when Ko Takeuchi (Warioware/Rhythm Heaven) got really into drawing art suggestions on Twitter and this included multiple Paul Blart Mall Cop illustrations.

I love being able to second one of Chris's extremely specific recommendations, these saved me from needing to drill out one of the ATX screws on my motherboard (and probably killing it)

I've been saying this! You don't even need scientific papers, only a couple well-placed posts online and two hours to make AIs spit it out uncritically

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

It's not the same thing, but this is why I recoil at every gleeful rumor that the next Siri will be "powered by (insert AI company here)" none of the problems with it would be solved with an LLM, but an LLM can cause so many new problems

I apologize to all sports fans. A wildly wrong foul call is, in fact, overwhelmingly infuriating

gotta say i'm not 100% convinced "phones" is why all this is happening

Did you tune the Orion's sound compression for crowds of voices cheering the astronauts on? Yeah boss, real haunting just like you asked

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Running Rook on Outpost in Marathon to hide and slurp up leftover loot is like someone made a stealth horror game about being one of those fish that eat parasites off of sharks

when you yell at me, this is who you're yelling at

folks, maybe it's time to stop playing little daily word games that support this kind of "journalism"

the horrors persist.

Does Shopify genuinely not know that everyone fucking hates dropshippers?

Haven't read the full paper yet. The phrasing here is implying they "found its emotions" when they more so found vectors that affect how it outputs text that seem to correlate with emotional concepts. Which seems like what they've already found in other interpretability studies, not sure what's new?
