I don’t hate the idea of AAA for ebikes. In fact I hope they go all the way and use some of the membership dues to lobby legislators on pro-ebike policy. www.geekwire.com/2026/flat-ti...

if any poker players are reading this, i am available to play at your table while having two beers per hour and gambling your own money back to you in order to reassure the actual fish

I feel like some majors, like CS and especially math, should be split up into pure vs applied pathways. The applied pathway teaches you all the job-useful stuff and the pure pathway is all the theoretical stuff. They shouldn't be fully separate from each other, but it's about what they focus on.

Cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and online gambling have some important differences but they share a common exploitative go-to-market strategy: Lie to low-information, low-inhibition men at scale to provide liquidity for professional traders.

Really interesting mix of reactions to this in the replies and quotes * Sympathy for this kid * Suggestion they change majors and teach themselves to code * The ick: bro coder edition * They’ll be the most employable CS grad in about 5 years * Is education about mastery or employability in a trade?

Woke SECDEF in 2029: okay let’s keep that one policy in effect

MORBO IS CONFUSED. WHY DO THE OIL GIANTS NOT SIMPLY COAT THIS PATHETIC HUMAN IN SLURM AND LAUNCH HIM INTO YOUR YELLOW SUN?

they’re calling it “The Dorner Protocol”

AI can save us from the mind-numbing implementation tedium that gives programming a bad rap as boring nerd shit. Imagine telling a writer that a deep familiarity with typewriter ribbon maintenance is a critical pre-req to telling a story

I remember being a CS freshman in 2005 and learning that my Java didn’t work because i used == instead of .equals() and I told the poor professor to his face “that is the dumbest shit i have ever heard in my life”.

BUBBA SHE SOME HEAT!!!!!

A lot of people are doing Gender around this and my two cents is that the majority of your CS classes should be reading code on printed paper and discussing it

I don't know if Claude has an internal concept of its own gender, but I know from how it is treated by self-important men that it is a woman.

If this is a common experience for people pursuing a CS degree, it won't be long before programmers who can actually understand code and write it themselves will be a rarity, like FORTRAN programmers of a previous generation.

Kpop Demon Core Hunters.

Wish this website had polls for this, but… Is your preferred Jordan Belfort dramatization The Wolf of Wall Street or Boiler Room?

Happy Crunk-Ass Easter

Okay who got the pilot script for The Pitt but shot in the style of The Office

THAT IS NOT HOW DEMAND IS CREATED OR CHANNELED. GOOD NIGHT.

They pay for WinRAR. Should their childcare be free?

leo stop. your praxis too based. your homilies too woke. they'll kill you.

Trump in his downfall bunker: “Miller, what about American girl pop?” “Mr President, Chappell Roan is dumb and lesbian, Taylor Swift is woke and dating a himbo. They are doing well, but BTS...” “What about Katy Perry? She has made a lot of hits” … “Mr President, Katy Perry is…dating Justin Trudeau”

Alternate history in which the Manhattan Project develops the first boy band and then a few years later Lewis Strauss is holding up a piece of paper in front of Robert Oppenheimer and Vannevar Bush that reveals Korea has test-fired BTS

[edward teller voice looking at BTS] “theh sooper”

you want a woodworking channel that talks about being decent to people. investors, let's talk

I found the concept of Claude as a fictional character noteworthy. We’ve known this all along but it goes way under discussed the extent to which this character is a human mask on something profoundly alien.

Logistics is the Mommy function in the armed forces, and that's why the bulk of the NatSec community ignores it, because Logistics imposes rules and limits.

People don't understand how much bookkeeping just isn't done because bookkeeping is laborious, skilled, and thus expensive

I’m sorry, I do not take the political opinions of the screenwriter of Don’t Look Up seriously

David Sirota has apparently started attacking Mallory McMorrow which TBH feels like a big endorsement of her

Okay serious question, I ask this with total sincerity. Is this a new Genre of Guy for literally anyone? I've met so many of these guys, they're a dime a dozen, and invariably they have no good ideas and don't actually build things, but have an immense degree of misplaced pride in being Good Coders.

They pay for WinRAR. Should their childcare be free?

Only The Paranoid Survive

Okay but actually

being polite to an LLM (saying "please" and "thank you" and asking if it's ok with requesting that it do things) simultaneously feels like the right thing to do as an animist while also making me remember the simpsons joke from "bart sells his soul" where rod and todd go "thank you door"

Folks this website is getting a little punchy tonight. Let’s just all drink some water and meet back here in 5

This video is Kyle Mooney-coded youtu.be/NtxQxpoW-kc?...

i should tie this back in more clearly: having students route their CS assignments through genAI makes a lot of sense if you think they've already got coding on lock and don't need to improve it. that is not true of most students, but it is true of the top 1/3 who can self-direct their learning.

Okay here’s a fresh AI angle: current CS student just wants to learn to code

I AM THE KEYMASTER

The news needs to stop mincing words about what Hegseth is doing: restoring racial segregation to the US military by preventing anyone but white men from advancing

i love the contrast with anthropic like clearly one is trying to sell services and one is trying to sell shares

Good luck getting those premium ad dollars guys apptopia.com/en/insights/...

NINE FUCKING FIGURES FOR THIS? And because they want those two chuds to help them dream up "outside-the-box marketing" for OpenAI? Oh my god (per @alexeheath.com)

"The deal comes as its rival just bought a talk show." is cold

Update: @ericnewcomer.bsky.social get off Twitter and post here. You belong here. www.newcomer.co/p/anthropic-...

hegseth's church takes the position that slavery is not just permissible in a christian society, but that permiting it is mandatory.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

My grandfather, regarding the Reagan years: "Economy was booming. If a guy had money, he made out." Me: "But you didn't have money. We got screwed." "Well yeah. But if we did -- it was great. See?" Me: "But WE DID NOT DO WELL." "That doesn't matter! That's not what I'm talking about!"
