They actually think there’s a “Waymo driver in the Philippines”

so i take it the straits are not OK

I hadn't looked at the stupid article because it seemed, you know, incredibly stupid but I am amused that I read Albert's skeet here and said "oh, I didn't know it was Kevin Roose"

Generally speaking an equilibrium where everyone acts like an asshole all the time is not going to work to the left's benefit, given the whole collective thing.

that Times quiz providing some very distressing signals here

please read my new crime novel about someone who used to do ops at Google, "Ex-SRE To Murder"

Everyone, it's that time again. We have to make sure we don't add anyone that has an account that looks like this: If it does not say 'bluesky.social' at the end, report it, block it, and make them famous so the rest of BSky can protect themselves... Thank you! 💙

is (y) supposed to look like an actual thumb somehow? or is it just like some system used (y) and (n) as thumbs up/thumbs down placeholders and the signifier became the signified over time?

i can't tell if "dignified transfer", like "gold star family" previously, is a phrase that everyone already knew that i somehow missed, or if it's just something that everyone started using overnight as if we all knew what it meant

This is crazy to me because I always assumed it opened in like the thirties or forties at the latest

Why are there so many “science communicators” and why are they all astronomers

Me enjoying truffle-flavored anything knowing full well no actual truffle has ever passed within a hundred miles of the factory that produced the flavor compound

Okay so sure hyperloop and the tunnel thing were an elaborate attempt to kill actual rail projects blah blah blah but what I still can't figure out is what the hell all the weirdo "ex-Boring Company" guys actually *did* while they were there. Like at least the other Musk ventures actually exist

from @thomasfuchs.at on Mastodon: "It’s bonkers that there’s only 9 years between these models, and only 4 years between when the Mac Color Classic was discontinued and the iMac G4 was introduced"

"Bathyscaphe Trieste" another entry in my personal library of impeccable names and concepts to meditate on

The actual delivery here reminds me of the gag at the end of this video

i think it'd be a really good bit to buy a used webby award for your office www.ebay.com/itm/23667153...

oh shit, Opus Magnum DLC coming next week

Lindy East

elias vance mentioned!

it is odd that this phrase has persisted unchanged since the middle of the century, when it meant the equivalent of >$1M today, and picked up steam from 1970 ($860K) through the mid-2000s ($160K)

there is a reply to this post that i now can't not think about any time i see a picture of this guy

terrible jobs report (he's still dead)

at one point @colin-fraser.net posted a table like this and it's really helpful to keep in mind when assessing whether "idk I was able to get it to give me the right answer" is a worthwhile post or not

somehow, Cheer Up The Chatbot returned

cropped, this chart becomes amazing

There's a plane in the Hudson. Crazy.

Whenever I see some new AI or moderation dustup on here I’m surprised by how disproportionately many users there are who identify as Artists. Ah, fuck, this is just another symptom of this site inheriting the Tumblr user base, isn’t it

just did the math and at this point the moaning about google reader getting killed has lasted 1.6x as long as the product's entire lifespan

ahem

RIP jokes about this screen being impossible to change (2023–2026)

> git pull Already up to date. > git push Everything up-to-date I wish I hadn't noticed that these were formatted differently. I hope I can forget before it destroys me

everyone always says why is a software engineer but they never ask how is a software engineer 😔

a lot of you are hesitating to update to macOS 26, which is too bad, because i'm over here making my new best friend: foldy

Pure functional programming language. Last release number: 0.19.1

coming around on the "nobody can read" thing

say what you will about the Manhattan Project but at least the name sounds cool. imagine if we were stuck with "Tube Alloys" as a go-to metaphor for any audacious world-changing project. get real

PATH when they opened the Christopher Street station:

look this model also isn't blacksky's fault exactly but "you can't complain about the spam from our federated service that you didn't sign up for unless you also find and opt into our federated moderation service" is untenable

in hindsight, this design has its warts, but it wouldn't take much sprucing up at all to make it feel like it was built this year

this reads like a Fearless Flyer headline
