My wife asking chatgpt for help planing a work seminar, sees utter gibberish, i proceed to explain context collapse and that biz speak has been AI level gibberish since way before AI.

When you wonder is this breaking through to the normies, the folks who ignore politics, I think what’s going on in Minneapolis has. Technology Connections, a YouTuber who is mostly known for detailed analysis of 1950’s toasters, talked about solar for 60 minutes and then went nuclear. 1/2

Pam Bondi asking for voter rolls is quite the tell, we’re watching them practice stealing the midterms, terrorize a blue city to suppress vote turn out while collecting data that lets them A pin point harassment and B claim irregularities that let them throw out democratic representatives.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Can we start calling it the Injustice department yet?

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

New York City doesn’t like it’s resident want to be dictator.

I basically have the same number of followers on threads and bluesky, but the threads algorithm showed this to lots more people especially after one of the hosts of the newshour said thank you. Guess it kind of explains why I spend more time there.

This week @pbs @newshour announced that they were ending their weekend broadcast due to federal budget cuts. The same week that CBS evening news lost a million viewers, and as I turned into the 6:30 newscasts that were half commercials and fluff, I was reminded that I don't have to watch them.

He should have been removed from office for the Jan 6 pardons. This can only spiral out of control now…

Has Hegseth released the video of the Department of War taking out Santa yet?

Your future and safety is being pointlessly destroyed bit by bit to enrich fossil fuel interests

There’s something striking that we are all trapped with a president who’d make Archie Bunker look like an open minded egalitarian, and he’s dancing on Meathead’s grave.

And yet the melanoma refuses to take out RFK jr, showing how evil cancer really is.

Sitting on my couch after a long day getting nowhere with a unfamiliar API, and of course chatgpt is telling me here it’s not that complicated just do this… should I believe it and go back to my desk?

When I read “oh! the places you’ll go” I didn’t ever imagine that would include an underground robot boxing match, where a pair of people attempt to play rock em sock em robots with 4 foot tall unitree bipeds. Remember the first rule of robot fight club is that we turn off logging.

One issue with LLM’s is that when working on a complex problem with a complex API (unreal camera streaming in this case) they can lead you down the wrong path, they are so “helpful”, when a google search might have found a real chunk of working sample code 1/2

Talking to my kid about space and I mentioned that Voyager was the furthest object from the earth, and looked it up Voyager I is currently 23 light hours and 30 light minutes away, turns out exactly 1 year from now it will be 1 light day away, going 1/2 a light hour a year.

The dems are a big tent, unfortunately that tent includes a bunch of spineless turncoats.

Every week Jews read a section of the Old Testament, this week was the destruction of Sodom, the religious right focuses on the sexual part of the story, but the city was destroyed for being inhospitable to foreigners. If you’re looking for the real sodomities this week, it’s ICE, Trump and the GOP.

At this point the most outrageous thing Marjorie Taylor Greene can do for attention is act normal.

I typed "Demonstration video:" into vscode and it autocompleted with a youtube URL. Out of curiosity I clicked it.. .... "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up"... yes, I just got rick rolled by AI.

It’s a must watch, his agenda will be hard to pull off, and I’m concerned about the impact of the Jewish community, but excited to have a new compelling communicator on the field.

Wound up chatting tonight with an DC based EPA lawyer visiting for the weekend, lived through Trump 1.0, said administration switches used to be interesting/fun at the EPA and the DOJ since you could understand where the politics ended, but now there was just destruction.

Convinced my 11 year old to read (slog) the Lord of the Rings, woke up to “the Council of Elrond lasts forever. There is endless talking”

Anyone else using Unreal on Linux? editor takes 3 minutes to boot up when it doesn’t crash with a caching issue.

Are we sure this isn’t a rendering test? A tasty rendering test at that..

Despite whatever the new Trump-friendly leadership at CBS News is doing, 60 Minutes had a chilling, revelatory story on a top Dept. of Justice lawyer who says he was fired for refusing to support DOJ attorneys lying to judges in deportation cases. WATCH: https://loom.ly/VjKaJPk

Give me the thin blue line flag but make it extra racist.

Trump bringing peace to the Middle East and war to Chicago, Portland, LA and the Caribbean is going to play poorly with the Nobel committee

The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal & other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while simultaneously slowing down or blocking solar and wind. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... 🔌💡

Sure vibe coding can make you super productive… but I just spent multiple hours porting my current project to windows so I could use the visual studio debugger. VSC on unbuntu’s C++ debugger is out classed by visual studio 6.0 (which shipped in 1998) it’s really a travesty how bad Linux gdb is.

Effectively the government is seeking to use red state national guards to attack blue states. This is some fucked up civil war shit.

I don’t think people are registering that every general just got a front row hour long demonstration of how mentally ill the commander in chief is, unedited, unfiltered.. No Fox News cleanup, just staring right into the gaping maw of raw unfiltered crazy.

I so missed the president telling us to put bleach in your body!

Funny story, my kid hates that my answer to some of his homework problems is just use algebra… so today (6th grade) he says hey there’s something wierd about this problem (not realizing 11y is 11*y) 1/2

Let’s be honest all computer graphics is the same thing with yet just another math library

Imagine the entire history of humanity and language has lead up to this beautiful moment, this beautiful run on sentence of lunacy and insanity, that now perfectly encapsulates our time…

We can now consider this speech Emmy-winning. And the message about the loss of an objective reality hits even harder in the current moment.

Remember that the Koreans are helping build the robotic future that the US will desperately need without an immigrant labor force, also that labor force is actually years away. The level of footgunning is incredible

Hundreds of not yet ripe Empires, just waiting for Brother Darkness to show up. #foundation

Detecting no lies in this description of the treatment of my coworkers. Wish the media here was as honest.

If I were to ask you if your life has been touched by cancer the answer would have undoubtedly be yes. The US is walking away from saving you and your loved one’s lives.

Nvidia’s omniverse tool chain has a lot of power, but also seems to always on the verge of completely imploding and its complexity just sends me crawling back to blender all the time.

Media Matters for America has faced legal and financial pressure from allies of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, including an FTC probe and politically motivated retaliation for its work. This and Musk's legal attacks, contributed to Media Matters' budgetary issues, leading to employee layoffs

Caught the 2nd half of “A Face in the Crowd” last night, the 1957 classic tale of a drifter (Andy Griffith) that turns into a political force via the power of media and his folksy wisdom. At the end he’s exposed and his world comes crashing down. 1/2
