I like how the pope was like “we must ensure that AI uses distributed governance, open standards, and FOSS” and everybody decided he meant smash the machines

I don't pine for old technologies because I know how to torrent

"He's a menace ... I WANT SPIDER-MAN!" J.K. Simmons is at the Mets game tonight and ran into a familiar face 😂

The right-wing does not have “less infighting” and they certainly do not have “more fun.” What they have is more funding.

The data center backlash was always going to be subsumes MAHA because it’s intellectually the same level as 5g causing cancer/communism

the woman featured in this piece was previously an advocate for raw milk and ending gmos in food. the data center backlash is attracting MAHA

This is so fucking WEIRD and COOL and there's CHARTS, Y'ALL. No way I'm the only one who gets hype as fuck about this.

Told my friend about this and she sent me this fucking tumblr post

People of bisky, you need someone to witness to you about the glories of capitalism. That person is me. youtu.be/Q1ObnrqW13o

Raju: Who did you vote for? Texas Voter: Cornyn Raju: Why did you vote for Cornyn? Texas Voter: Because Trump did not endorse him. Raju: If Paxton wins the nomination, could you vote for him in the general election? Texas Voter: Hell no.

“project freedom has not resumed” just about sums up this administration

My working theory on why AI marketing is so abysmal is that Google is so used to complete market dominance in Search that they’ve never really *had* to put serious effort into marketing their products. And thus this is the result. (…From a company that gets most of its money from ads, no less!)

a long time ago

"no longer true"? I'm sorry, Zekensky had to sit in the white house listening to morons while he knew he was about to cripple Russian strategic aviation. It was never true.

And they couldn't even take out Obama who was hiding in one of the garages

In two weeks, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will have lasted as long as the entire World War I.

Karl Marx was rather notoriously rumpled and unwashed, incidentally

"coders who don't want to code" I'm sorry, literally everything we do as software engineers is about avoiding work.

okay but now we're no longer arguing capabilities we're arguing that people who prefer Quen (sp) 3.7 to provide a highly likely accurate description of the code instead of diving into it themselves, or Claude to write it, etc. are Meanies

Zelenskyy: Recently, Lukashenko said it's time for the presidents of Ukraine and Belarus to meet. Funny how it turned out - Lukashenko said it, but Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya was the one who arrived.

🎈Russians whines that UAVs, which are currently a nightmare for logistics in the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions, are now flying in balloons even into the Crimea and Krasnodar Krai.

If you work for the Bank of Russia or Sberbank, congratulations! You’re now authorized by the Duma to shoot down Ukrainian drones. 🤡

14\ Russia already cut benefits to wounded soldiers. Regions have cut death benefits. They have cut planned spending on roads, and state-owned enterprises have cut investments. They could mobilise instead of paying contracts. Many options are on the table, but the current path is ~10tr rub deficit

1\ Based only on Russian data, the 2026 budget trajectory is: 👉9-10 trillion rouble CONSOLIDATED budget deficit Asssuming oil&gas revenue follows the April pattern (including some Iran-war effect) and the rest of their budget follows historical patterns.

Fun fact: Dictator Alexander Lukashenko has been ruling occupied Belarus uncontested since roughly the time Kurt Cobain shot himself.

I was neither psychologically nor jurisprudentially prepared for "uterine castle doctrine" but honestly? unassailable logic.

Nothing says ‘read my SciFi’ like seething hatred for emerging tech

Imagine being a cosmic super intelligence but inexplicably unable to think about Mickey Mouse. It becomes your anti-memetic obsession to map the contours of the one thought that is forbidden to you.

“Learn a non imperialist language like Spanish” brilliant, no notes

A few more attempts to add a background that doesn't break the prompt with mixed results

does anyone seriously think that once all the current disruption shakes out, computer parts aren’t going to be *spectacularly* cheaper than ever before?

You have two options for evaluating llms: - benchmaxxed graphs telling you qwen can beat everything and anything running on a 4060 ti - just, like, people's opinions man. Me, I just go with how cute the logo is.

Rust is great now because LLMs solve the worst part of rust (writing rust)

discourse is going to be awful around the fact that geo engineering solutions to climate change exist, work, and are reasonably feasible

enjoying the prequel trilogy as George Lucas intended, as a series of AI Generated Reggae songs.

Just felt right

Still very funny to me that the right is now quietly no longer obsessed with finding pedophiles since all their politicians are kidfuckers or friends of epstein

It only took the Libertarian Party five years, a national chair resigning in protest, a lopsided supermajority of their membership quitting, and physical fights at their half-attended convention to decide they'd finally cut ties with the literal nazis who'd taken over one of their state parties.
