Tom Bombadil is a key character to understanding Lord of the Rings and the fact that most adaptations leave him out shows that most adapters don't really get the source material

Consider adding AI to your engineering wikis. They'll run 10x slower for basically no benefit, but an MBA will be able to type in "what are those fuckers doing in there" when deciding to fire 30% of you

It's pretty funny that people think we're gonna have games invented and rendered at us in real time by AI when in reality, Kyle age 23 will throw his laptop through three layers of drywall if the FPS dips below 60

‪ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC: “we have invented a new kind of chiplet that’s made out of other chiplets. this enables us to create the new EPYC 9666X3D with 32GB of L2 cache. topology information will be available to system software via a new CPUID leaf that instantly kills you.”‬

progressive jews and palestinians: "we refuse to be enemies." european christians/descendants: "oh, well fuck you both then."

Wait so if LLMs are people such that being mean to them is eugenics, doesn't that by definition mean we also have to stop trying to improve upon them

sorry boss I didn't get much done. had a big black squiggly mark animating in a thought bubble over my head the whole day. no one understands me

Can't work on silicon without getting wrapped up in this AI shit man

When I worked on social features for online games, my favorite test for whether we were taking player safety into account was the "Ex-boyfriend Test", as in: If I was your ex-boyfriend, how would I use this feature to make your life miserable?

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

I genuinely don't understand how intelligent people I respect think these things are a good idea

Genuinely at this point I'm kind of done with any software engineering that you can do without knowing what a register is Dead field, cut it adrift

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

“The media studies cabal is holding back AI”

"Gentile leftists don't assume that Judaism is just Christianity without Jesus, and don't forget that Jewish peoplehood is a concept with no direct analogue in Christianity" challenge.

1) my synagogue openly calls for an end to the genocide in Gaza, and it doesn't stop of us from receiving threats and requiring security. 2) "just don't go to the only synagogue(s) in your location on Yom Kippur" is a ridiculous ask of observant Jews.
