I think it's with his uncle. I very much enjoyed it reading it when it came out, but haven't gone back to it.

This is amazing research by Nadia Heninger and her co-authors Wenyi Morty Zhang, Annie Dai, Keegan Ryan, Dave Levin and Aaron Schulman. TL;DR a huge number of satellite links over our heads are totally unencrypted. satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu

@philosophizethis.bsky.social thank you for the back catalog and constant stream of learning!

The Play that Goes Wrong, at the Seattle Rep, is absurdly fun.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

How many times a day does Exchange deliver to your O365-hosted email address an invitation to a phishing session?

People are so afraid now there are things they're afraid to repost. We've been naive about what's coming. We must keep hope alive, certainly. We have to defend voting & honest counting by every means, & we have to find more voters to defend democracy. We can't be naive about what it will take.

NIN somehow made their older stuff seem worse than the new stuff, and the old stuff better than it ever sounded before. If you have a chance, don’t miss this tour.

I just saw someone on Reddit describe Las Vegas as “If Ticketmaster was a city” and holy crap.

theonion.com/trump-still-... The Onion just straight-up reporting real news, again.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Hearing the Adieu at the end of @mikeduncan.bsky.social ‘s seminal Revolutions reminds me how important it is to donate to the people who raise your soul up.

You’re laughing? A partner in Bedrock Capital is being driven insane by ChatGPT after using it to try and uncover secret, deep state operations data, causing it to instead feed him a melange of publicly available redacted documents and entries taken verbatim from the SCP Wiki and you’re LAUGHING?!

@techmeme.com Chris needs to practice letting a woman finish a sentence.

SCP announced that it definitely isn’t a site full of actual truth that everyone needs to understand and memorize. Riiiiiight.

perhaps now it is i who is da joker

@samreich.bsky.social hey it’s Sam Reich! Notable for his political views espoused in youtu.be/JzFuJDLd3cg?...

Celebrating Bastille Day at Princess and Bear No reason.. ;)

The New York Times has now hired Grok to cover the Mamdani campaign.

Remember kids, don't.

Watching Alex Vile rock Baba Yaga and thinking that sometimes you’re just sitting in front of the future. Agog. Comparables exist but they’re just riding that line of raw talent and years of polish. Brilliant show.

Republicans believe that greed is a resource to exploit. Democrats believe that it is an obstacle to overcome.

I want to show you something. This is the fastest 15 meter climb ever recorded in human history. Faster than any Olympics. Faster than any instagram reel. This is my son, Sam. He is your son, too.

*When you're into "cyberpunk social realism," you have to be cool about "predicting the present." Like, "that would be weird, ironic and Gibsonian," only some hacker/maker dude already made one in 2009 in his grandma's basement in Bremen *There's nothing wrong with that. It's how the world is

Received /official/ email from SSA telling me how great the new law is. Propaganda from the machine.

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Sublime

When the meme site tells you what financial status maps to your food preferences, you can bet that they compute an estimated net worth in the background and forward that to your advertiser ID record. When you start getting advertisements for tools or cars or homes or jewelry, guess why.

Tackling dissenters in town hall, hosting Aryan Nations, and now add “arsonist slaughtering firefighters”. New game: Red State Bingo.

They aren’t desensitized, they’re complicit. Nobody believes him except the victims of shameless sane-wash brands like NYT. Everyone knows he will do whatever hurts people he dislikes.

I once said that Altman knows that AGI is nowhere near happening. Nadella apparently now agrees. Altman moves the goalposts: “sufficient general intelligence” is “profitable enough to pay the bills.” Until it can apply logic reliably, rather than just logishish, I stand on my point.

An entire generation of people raised on memes and Fox News who are just completely unable to separate propaganda from reality. If there is a crisis, it’s epistemological. Fascists will try to bend reality to their ideology, but this always fails in the long run with tons of damage along the way.

The moment I knew I didn’t understand Class.

“We proved causation by memorizing correlation.”

Mike Duncan is my podcast GOAT. 'Revolutions' is an incredible work of clear vision; and takes painstaking attention and care to the actual people who lived through incredible violence and upheaval.

Printed and framed one of my greatest achievements. Revolutionizing the network communications model with @tracketpacer.bsky.social. T-shirts incoming. 🤓

Maybe word vector math is a reasonable use for LLM tech; one that has actual meaning hidden in it? “I didn’t mean it that way” can be made actually quantifiable.

Ooo boy, this is a deep burn by Boy George and I'm so here for it. TERFS are disgusting and J / K Rowling is their queen. Her obsession is downright fanatical and bizarre in it's extreme. I feel so bad for all the unsuspecting children who worshipped her work early in.

Davenport Fornication Union (Local Number Two) representative has an account here now. I’ll let you suss it out if you’re outerested. Good thing to Block And Move On. Don’t feed the trolls.

it's not an echo chamber it's a gated reverb

Go back and read this whole thread. Ken seems like a bit of a prophet...

A system already exists to over-confidently state incorrect facts to women, thanks, we don’t need another one

Happy Juneteenth! What a great reminder that “liberty and justice for all” isn’t something that comes automatically even though it’s the rally of a nation.

Inside Trump’s fights with people who aren’t Musk: this week in distraction media: can you even remember why they were fighting: who are we talking about now: why did Obama do this to you?

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

LLM AI coding is really just FOSS: Forced-Open Source Software Someone made it, you want it, the chatbot stole it, it’s yours now.
