every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Block instantly.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

i'm joining the war on the size of Venezuela.

It’s like if Creative SoundBlasters were keeping the banks open.

being an eagles fan is very painful this season

Being annoying on your own timeline is free speech. Being annoying in someone's replies is harassment. Quote posts are a gray area of the law still being developed

sometimes i feel bad for people who have easier lives; people for whom the established script is at least "close enough". maybe they'll never be broken down but it means they'll never get to make themselves

life is like spaghetti: it's hard until you make it

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Spider-Man on the Genesis has the best continue screen I've ever seen in a video game.

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

Cory Booker now using hour 23 of his filibuster to say he deserved more targets for a 5-6 Stanford team in 1990. "I had better hands than Ed McCaffrey," he tells Congress. "And let me tell you: there's a reason John Lynch didn't play QB in the NFL."

"It’s not that OpenAI picked something cute and accidentally the co-founder of that studio hates. OAI picked Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach It is display of power: You, as artist, animator, illustrator, writer are powerless. We will take what we want & do what we want. Because we can"

one of the first things i read as a baby engineer: www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/t...

I do like the numbers and numbers on top of numbers. They’re inventing new numbers all the time. You thought BABIP wasn’t a thing? You thought they weren’t measuring exit velocity? I saw a Foolish Baseball vid about arm angles. I like football and we basically just go “that guy has a dog in him”

new protagonist model is coming along! almost feeling happy with her topology

first time using cpan in 15 years and wow this has not improved much

rebirth has been fantastic so far, but oh man, they really knocked it out of the park with Cosmo Canyon.

insane to me how all manner of computer tasks can be done with built-in tools on linux but if i go to look up the easy way to do it on windows it's like "yeah just get HaroldWare File Copier Pro™, you can either pay $20 for it or let it install a toolbar" like what are you guys doing over there

biiiiiiig yawn for a tiny girl #cat

the t480 is probably the finest linux-bearing laptop i've owned, but these speakers really do sound like trying to call somebody up through a fax line number

ooof — reading the comments under any post about (arch) linux deeply hurts.

LLMs are good at so many things but they're certainly not good at *this* don't do this unless you already have domain expertise!

In my MSc dissertation on climate finance, I show that very high-level financial actors consider the integration of climate data to be a necessary condition for informed decision-making. This means that JP Morgan and other banks are, in effect, making the informed decision to short the Earth.

still chewing on last night's win. it's nice that even with saquon effectively stopped, the offense was too dynamic for it to really matter. what an awesome game. an all time W for haters. fly eagles fly

today i convinced an ostensibly normal guy to give Dark Souls 2 a shot, so you could say i'm something of a bearer of the curse myself

what a disaster. if this decision is not reversed immediately, its damage on science & society will be unravelling in infinite nuanced ways for decades to come

Root for the Eagles if you want a team that’ll definitely not go to the White House if they win.

i wrote about variable arrays in slurm hipml.github.io/variable-arr... just a neat little trick i picked up for managing variable-size training runs

Debian Linux announce they will no longer post on X “X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.” micronews.debian.org/2025/1738154...

Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization! Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).

as much as i would love to see my Eagles go to yet another super bowl, there's some sweet consolation in the prospect of Dan Snyder being continually outed as a colossal failure

we’re making chalupas (objectively the best taco bell menu item)

just saw a guy star his own repository on github. we're entering dark, dark times

tbh I think we can take these Rams. #FlyEaglesFly

And I’ll argue this til my last breath: the Chinese government monitoring my data usage is far less a threat than US based companies sharing my data usage with US law enforcement or the US government

i'm using @habitica.com to help track progress on my resolutions! this year i'm working on reincorporating reading fiction into the routine. #HabiticaResolutions

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

i've curated the entirety of Survivor's (American reality TV show) subtitles! they're on HuggingFace! huggingface.co/datasets/hip...

no. feel welcome to read my work on dataset audit 1. arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01963 2. ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc... 3. proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/... 4. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

the person who believes that AI bots can replace every human employee and the person who believes AI is divulging Meta’s company secrets fundamentally believe the same lie
