Gotta think this could do wonders for community ties sigh
I just need more than 15 seconds to be able to think without being interrupted
Hey did you know ADHD children hear up to 20,000 more negative messages than their peers by the time they're 13? Well why the fuck are you contributing to them then? Get your own shit together.
❤️
Shoutout to doing your best parenting when you've got RSD
Reminding myself that "Doing your best" isn't your best compared to your Best-Ever, it's the best you can do right now. Right now.
You haven't ADHDed until both parents have ADHD ask me how I know
I see you and I'm sorry and you are doing your best and I know it's hard
It's so hard and it feels like this country is making it harder every year on purpose
"why haven't you fixed your cptsd yet don't you know it can be inter-generational"
Shoutout to the neurodivergent parents of neurodivergent children just fucking exhausted and trying to do the best they can and never feeling like it's good enough
It's really fucking irritating how good he is!
Protein bars -- Cliff Bars etc -- and veggie pouches are already a science fiction future "an entire meal in a pill!"
And there's a new book, Children of Strife, coming out next year! www.reddit.com/r/AdrianTcha...
I'm about halfway through and my heart is starting to break all over for Liff again
Oh yay
And there's another coming out next year!
Re-reading Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Memory is reminding me why I loved it so much *and* Gethli and Gothi are good on the nature of consciousness. The whole series is so good on what it is to be a "person".
Ha, I've been saying agile helps you build the wrong thing faster for a while and many people don't realize it's not just a joke!
I'm *also* having it with Chinese food in the U.S.! ... And my parents pointed it out with Chinese food in the UK too ("this isn't really Cantonese food, they've changed it to what English people like, we'll have it properly in Hong Kong")
Come on people why can't I hear booing
No, thank *you* for your attention in this matter
Ha, I've been saying agile helps you build the wrong thing faster for a while and many people don't realize it's not just a joke.
I think it's clear that DC abundance has a delivery problem.
I thought it was pretty good until I picked up a sub on Facebook marketplace and then it became Extra Nuts
The house we bought came wired for Dolby atmos (5.1.2 but all ceiling) and a sub so all I needed to do was buy a receiver and it is NUTS
Each block is a microcosm in and of itself.
at least the DNC hasn't been taken over and grown a spine and kicked this entire administration out with an incredibly graphic and prejudiced set of truth and reconciliation hearings
wait wait
Sid Meier's Clash of Clans
Oh good! I don't know what it was but I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of the documentary episode :(
I am getting Just Enough Eyeball Alien and that's great for me. Also the CEOs are aliens! hybrids are aliens! Who is going to end up being the most evil! Is Kirch actually going to be the most human? Or Morrow?!
There was that episode with the tomb that I just now realized felt like a doctor who episode. That one was good.
The show I'm most eager to see each week is Alien: Earth, I haven't even seen last week's SNW yet.
Non-stop partying!
It's an absolute riot in Costco let me tell you.
V unhappy to report that despite an enjoying a bunch of episodes, SNW season 3 has felt off to me to the extent I couldn't even finish the documentary episode. As someone who loved the musical episode, I can't believe I'm saying too many gimmicks this season?!
I remember the first "they don't always help people" conversation, sigh
There's no emergency alert log/history interface for this in the U.S. on iOS either, I think?
Never too young to teach ACAB
At least they're not using EAS to recruit for ICE yet
Yeah my wife was really excited when her last surviving parent unexpectedly passed away.
Well at least there's a new iPhone coming out soon
Sid Meier's Katamari Damacy
Joke.
definitely a jackpot event
Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.
(We inherited a family farm just before Covid. It's super fun I tell you.)
The farmers will totally forget about the impact of tariffs on their ability to sell once they see some more based memes.
What the hell is going on
Women?
Lily get out of my house
I agree with this, it's like betrayal
weird that "fun sized" and "party sized" are at opposite ends of the size spectrum
🐶🚀
Thank god openAI can rely on a body of law that allows them to disclaim any liability whatsoever and also warrant no accuracy whatsoever or do you mean the someone doing the wiring?
I mean it could produce a statistical output of text trained on human text as if a (necessarily: see source of training data) human were answering that question
Sigh
Comparing the liability or lack thereof for tech companies / software with the concept of qualified immunity
RatThing, from Anduril
We've gotten most of Snow Crash so we might as well also go for "imagine how liberating it is for a pit bull terrier to be capable of running 700 miles per hour"
Yes but you understand that
Look at us still not learning from Horizon never mind everything else
But computer made of wiring
Absolutely. With a wink and a nod.
Oh I'm just worried someone will crash in with a stereotyping savant perspective
Maybe get in at the ground floor with an injection of skepticism eh
what's fascinating is how... the IMO benchmarks get interpreted as 'general' intelligence? like, I have no faith in a random human IMO gold medallist wiring my house
Careful this has the opportunity to spiral into a neurodivergency rabbit hole
Enterprising news organizations should run LLM body counts like the WaPo does for police murders sorry officer involved fatal kinetic exchanges of force
It's dangerous but there's an asterisk got it but also every day it's so fucking smart
Seriously I'm so mad. WE GOT A GOLD MEDAL AT THE INTERNATIONAL MATH OLYMPIAD meanwhile totally use our thing for like random DIY questions through this frankly irresponsibly persuasive chat interface THAT WE DON'T BOTHER GETTING CERTIFIED FOR WHAT WE KNOW YOU USE IT FOR
Even though those claims are fucking implied and that woman on the Clapham omnibus knows it too. But ohhhh sure Fine print doesn't scale at societal levels?
this is rapidly approaching full self driving claim territory and I hate how there will be a bunch of people very carefully making sure openai et al never actually make any stupid grandstanding claims like shithead Elon does
Oh but we're not to be used for diagnostics consult a real doctor and sometimes this makes shit up *winks* BUT TOTALLY EVERYONE USE THIS IT CHANGES EVERYTHING YOU DON'T NEED AN ELECTRICIAN ANYMORE
"But so many more people can do their electrical work now!" Yeah and also so many more people are actually electrocuted now! So can your thing pass a certification or what?
Earn some certifications if you're so smart otherwise this "yeah but humans aren't so great so even slightly better is better" argument doesn't hold water. Even if you're slightly better, by sheer virtue of scale of accessibility *absolute fatalities* would increase.
You know, if you're going to show off that the thing can get a gold at the IMO then maybe you should also show off getting board certified at being an electrician?
Like, hey don't blame us if your power station or nuclear reactor goes tits up. Also if you die from being electrocuted. By the thing giving you electrical advice.
OpenAI really gunning to test out a bold new world of limitation of liability clauses at scale
I hope one day people will be able to look back on this as the last time those who were scared and felt threatened were able to gain power and lash out.
(They're all terrible, if you're not familiar)
These thoughts because I accidentally listened to the Kidz Bop cover of Golden, which is terrible
You know, an audio player that only does music. But it's only Kidz Bop. What a perfect nightmare.
Kidz Bop should've made a hardware audio player huh
I introduced @knowtheory.net! #SkyBeMoreBlue
what would YOU do with US$58,000,000 allocated towards public good? Because that's 1% of NYPD's FY2025 budget
Thank god emoji don't need healthcare
Oh no thank god there's no way to make any other recording of the event available to people
It's a thing of mine yeah
Oh phew!
Whose the fuck OpEd is this so we can literally tar and feather them
"Human decisions are removed from the Unicode Emoji Working Group. GPT-5 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It provides a logical proof of the existence of a Seahorse Emoji at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."
99% sure no one has come out and said "ubiquitous state surveillance outsourced to the private sector through eg Palantir is not what we mean by abundance"
Ftr I've been told this account is wholesome blueskyism
That politico feature on the ho hi Father Christmas christian nationalist was fucking scary, what a complete dick, and his media team too
I swear the episode of Star Trek where Kirk does this to the evil computer is a classic
Social media has been so helpful in destigmatizing so many conditions, from non-visible physical disabilities to helping people discover communities and belonging in neurodivergence. I don't let having Blueskyism stop me. I know there's more of us out there.
One thing London does well is how you can see all kinds of people using public transport.
The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone. Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking. [Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]
