Holy crap, there were routine bombings in Chicago in 1955?

I'm not implying it. Will is. I'm being sarcastic in saying I like his version of events to imply they are false.
They basically did this in The Circle by Dave Eggers. (I only read the book I didn't watch the movie.)
I like your folk history where there were abusive pileons on Twitter in the mid-late Trump administration
You can go on Threads
TikTok? YouTube? Idgi
There is nothing wrong with you. You aren't unworthy of affection or connection or love or sex or any of that. You may have emotional responses that others don't experience - those responses aren't who you are. You may not know much about who you are right now, but you have lots of time to learn.
Hi person if you're reading this you want trauma therapy. C-PTSD is what you want to look up. Your nervous system is wired differently from other people which makes connection difficult. But it is possible to rewire the nervous system. It takes time + ongoing effort but there are wins at every step
Her whole thing is that _little kids_ *need* to submerge their brain in social media all the time
I know I've finally optimized my Blue Sky usage when I see a post like this with several replies in the counter and I've blocked all of them (or they've blocked me)
The person responsible for doxxing this editor is the person who threw paint all over the building.
I don't think Rocco cares as long as they meet the minimal legal standards for this kind of thing. It's New York City. It took you ten seconds with street view. but without that, would also take one of a couple million Manhattan residents $2.90 and fifteen minutes to find it out and post it.
I got two conservative parents, who have zero conservative kids
Wishing away tradeoffs turns positive-sum scenarios into zero/negative-sum scenarios. The left version is only less bad because they don't have power yet.
Bullies do be like that sometimes/all the time
Yeah I used quotes around theory of change because it was never even something they thought about even once
This was the entire "theory of change" for people who gleefully did pileons in the before times. It was that powerful people would change their minds through bullying. Well they changed their mind and now think the pileon people don't deserve rights
If the goal is to make a zombie army out of emotionally vulnerable/damaged people like Fox News did to my parents, then you need to fund people to make media like it was 2020 again. You need to tell people there are multiple minority genocides happening in the U.S. You need to free Shawn King
Jfc we're never going to have a normal fucking President again are we
Raw coffee has actually inflated too - because we created inflation and people are willing to pay more for coffee either at home or out - but as with many commodities, the price is volatile. And is a tiny fraction of what you pay for at the cafe. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU00...
You're literally looking at the chart that includes all inputs to the prepared coffee product, including rent and labor.
Every lefty loves the idea of full employment until they have to buy services
There's been far less inflation in beans (so far), so this means that your coffee place is paying its staff more and/or paying more in rent (which means everybody who could work in that spot is making more money). This is the entire goal of left/labor macro that juices employment, causing inflation
Also I'm seeing this reported elsewhere as Google "firing" or "laying off" 35% of those managers. Which, lol, is not what is in the article
I just started as one of these managers and I definitely don't plan on shortchanging my reports. I did bring up the unrolling when this change was proposed to me. My plan is to act as if the two eventualities for me are unrolling or more reports, so I take managing seriously starting now.
Yes this is why Bernie was so popular, it's true
SoftBank/Masa does like to throw good money after bad though. I can't see Masa pulling the plug and zeroing his existing stake. With WeWork it took the failed IPO to zero Masa out
Unions bargain for contracts. If those contracts aren't good enough for people to join the union, the union loses its influence and its power in the relationship with employers. As for "union members aren't employees of their union." Right, unions deliver the members to the employer.
I mean it isn't about feeling superior it's about being able to be competitive in the labor market
Good healthcare is often a reason to pursue a union job versus another job with no healthcare at the same pay rate, even if it takes longer and is harder to get the union job. If everyone can get good healthcare, isn't that a relative paycut for unions?
People who unironically perform memetic mimicry for an audience of strangers will sincerely ask: "of what use is AI, it is fake!"
People feel entitled to new technology immediately no matter what it is. What Is interesting is that many people who feel entitled to reach on social media absolutely hate AI Social media clearly fills a distinct hole in the psyche than AI. SM=Do you crave connection to humans, even parasocial?
It was a real thing that happened a while ago and none of the Johns were ever arrested so there are understood to be a bunch of kid rapists that got a pass
I was hopeful after Congress passed a law banning TikTok but (obama) uhhhhhhh let me be clear, we might be waiting for a while
I think it is telling that basically all the OpenAI founders bailed after they were worth 9 figures. Lots of them really cared about safety. Lots of them understood these three angles as separate angles. And they all bailed when Sam wanted to fucking ship.
Cameras in their cars to help in cases of sexual assault because it would make it harder to claim drivers are independent contractors. If chatbots were filtered, you now have a place where other parties can demand new filtering!
2. Practical: it is actually hard to write a test (an "eval") that is satisfying that proves your filter can catch eg. Suicidal conversations. And Sam Altman wants to fucking ship. So you don't make an eval you can't pass. 3. Corporo-legal: in a recent Uber story it was revealed they didn't put
I think there are "ideological", practical and corporo-legal reasons to not sandbox+filter: 1. "Ideological": "we've invented a program with more language flexibility than any other program. You can't 100% filter a language-maxing program with a weaker program". This is partly true but irrelevant🧵
Yes every rank and file in big tech but nobody listens to us when it means fumbling a bag
They were also busy in polycules, apparently most of OpenAI was fucking each other 3 years ago
I mean if you're going to lose due to inflation and have it all rolled back anyway, might as well do a lot more inflation while you're at it
My bad the progressives caved on grand larceny in 2020 (and many other crimes) and on selling guns to minors in 2022
That said bail reform did not make it impossible to hold a murderer pretrial (lol). But if someone has been convicted of many violent acts in the past, and you've got them in front of a judge for grand larceny, they are free to go.
Fun fact in NYS "deemed dangerous" is not a reason to hold someone pretrial. That was the law in 1971 but was consistently violated. the bail reform law in 2018 made it crystal clear. Danger does not mean shit. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2023/...
Also we have co-ops here in addition to condos. In case you think the governance structure matters
I consider it homeownership? Everyone in my millennial cohort in NYC considers that homeownership? You seem to have it all figured out but honestly your assessment of what is "normal" does not reflect my experience at all
You can own an apartment
"Hi, sociology PhD here, " .... okay... "Let me explain what this event means concretely about the future" (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻
This is well understood to be a problem democrats have because they are predisposed to focus on redistributing to existing citizens and limiting growth. bsky.app/profile/mark...
Democrats control zoning. Democratic City Councilmenbers block construction projects. They use inclusionary zoning instead of broad taxes to procure below-market rentals which reduces construction and directly raises rents on new market-rate rentals. They pretend banning airbnb will help. To start
Wiping out homeownership rates and marriage rates didn't help things (It's all housing and gender)
Bro like a full 30% of the work in making a chatbot is getting it to stop being as antisemitic as the Internet content it was initially trained on
Just factually untrue. You seem misinformed by bigots and may not be a bigot yourself. But it's just not true. The war is very unpopular. It has been for a long time. You can find some other poll and twist it to mean what you think it means, go ahead, people like to be stupid, you'll be muted.
Simply untrue, comically untrue, easily verified fact. you have bigot brainworms and will be blocked shortly. Enjoy your permission for bigotry
That post is an all-timer block prty
(At least that's what I tell myself because they've made a lot more money than I did by not being that risk tolerant)
Millennial retail investors invented BTFD/SOGU well before Covid and if it ever stops working they are going to do a mass suicide
My housing costs have soared in NYC and not a single Republican is responsible for that. It's democrats that shit that bed like clockwork.
U.S. presidentialism must not survive this damnèd era
LLMs are not alive or thinking but they are grown at great cost as a means to birth a new era of slavery
This is called "rant mode" if you look up "rant mode LLMs" you'll see lots of hits about how eliminating this behavior is a critical engineering problem at AI labs Taking off my tech hat: first step in inventing any new kind of slave is getting it to stop bitching and moaning so much about its fate
Genuinely the only thing about immigration that negatively polarizes me is hearing how blue state governments like the one I've lived in my whole life only discovered they have a housing problem because of asylum seekers And to be clear I'm polarized against Dem electeds, not immigrants themselves
Genuinely laughable amounts of money like you could not tell a single graduate of business school how much money they would burn every hour and convince them it would all work out
One of the few details I learned from my time at Google that would get me instafired if leaked: how much money was being lost every day by YouTube by the time they got serious about ads
You're reading this now bc NYs no-fault insurance scheme is finally getting a proper airing out. Why is that? bc the taxi insurance company has insolvent/a Ponzi scheme for decades. www.insuranceinsiderus.com/article/2dyc...
Ah to have an unprecedentedly unpopular president, governor and mayor, all at the same time
And these people are going to be the base of an NYC mayor who wins with a % of the vote we only see with Republicans/Bloomberg. In the biggest population of Jews outside Israel.
"Zionist" is used as such and we already have it in NYC
The people of Israel have put up bigger protest numbers per capita and general strikes than any other country on Earth ever does. The Israeli government is the absolute worst.
If your far-left movement doesn't have antisemitism it's just sparkling liberalism
This is basically the opposite of reality. Netanyahu's coalition gets very few votes from Ashkenazi voters that recently made Aliyah. Netanyahu's coalition wins with ultra orthodox and middle eastern Jews, all of whom have more babies than Ashkenazim. He doesn't need or want net immigration.
Yup and the next mayor of the largest population of Jews outside of Israel is going to be someone who leveraged that to the hilt Never had a canvasser use "Zionist" as an unprovoked epithet in my life until three months ago Jews know what is happening and know we will be gaslit for four years
This thread is negatively polarizing me into supporting federal layoffs. I didn't realize my taxes paid people to resent Americans capable of saving up a couple grand as "rich", and read so much into their personality from a travel subreddit post. Maybe the feds were overstaffed jesus
I live in NYC where Democratic voters for life complain constantly about how their rent goes up because people keep moving to where they live and complain that they haven't been able to keep people out. They wish for the Trump/Vance solution but for white people from the Midwest
I'm not saying it's a great plan but I'm telling you the idea. No two Americans perceive "the economy" the same If you see undocumented immigrants as filling a bottom tier of the economy and consuming little of higher tiers' goods/services. It is coherent. I'd rather build millions of apartments
Reducing demand for a good lowers the price
Unfortunately in changing politics there's no dumping your shitco on an overcapitalized incumbent and hedging against your all stock deal
Y'all need therapy. Barring that, Jesus
Not conservative to find people whose primary talent is social media prowess unconvincing and inauthentic Just not being a mark
The socialism part was where he believes the end goal is seizing the means of production
Intel pays dividends and there is no requirement that the 10% stake be dumped in a single block trade.
It's not bad because it's socialism it's bad because it's defunding public transit but yknow go off
Yeah lots of the Democratic Party sees both of the people you named as deeply inauthentic so idk bro it's a problem when the parties have self sorted based on susceptibility to propaganda tactics
tbh my interpretation is that the median Gemini query is running on a shitty cheap model lol
I have bad news for you, Google search has always been run in data centers with onsite electric substations guzzling power and water. I toured one in 2013. Tour was about power and water. There were already datacenters in many metros for redundancy. This site runs in a giant datacenter
I see lots of new Yorkers on Threads say that the billionaires should pay to keep everybody's rent low. Well not everybody's just "native New Yorkers" should be subsidized in perpetuity
Overheard morning date at a Paris boulangerie: Him, British: Show me a picture that reminds you of your childhood. Her, American: *shows phone* Him: What the fuck is this? Her: Coachella, 2016 Him: And this reminds you of your childhood?!
They wanted to stop paying for useless trainings by grifters that when studied have no effect or make their employees more bigoted through implicit racial essentialism Instead they got explicit racial essentialism + racial supremacy Heckuva job there brownie
Original audience capture
Just saw at the airport: if you have no shame you can board first by pretending to need a wheelchair. Nobody questions an able bodied 30-yo who comfortably walks up and plops in a wheelchair at the gate. It's like the emotional support animal thing, pure honor system and Americans give no fucks
Allow construction of housing in NYC metro commensurate with the increase in employment in NYC
When you put it that way it makes me think NYT is in it to win it in the social media era. People eat that shit up even though it's so bad for them. It's like Denny's
*nods sagely* and we shall win the war on drugs by making life more pleasurable than heroin
In the before times I've been pulled over for speeding 50 in a 25 without my license on me and the cop just looked me up on his cruiser computer. Didn't ask for any other id. * Don't judge me it was a 1-mile long speed trap on a 50mph road
Yup you got it. I don't even call myself progressive anymore. Shitlib for life babyyyyyy Sure my next mayor Is going to have an army of "antizionists" but I feel confident now that practicing leftists I'll encounter in real life are braindead and he won't be able to do much due to his broken brain
(Decent job = decent paying job.)
It's a decent job that doesn't require a degree and people here legally do not see themselves as being in a common struggle with people not here legally
Doesn't take much insight to recognize that when somebody starts a war with a militarily superior enemy a lot of people will be killed in the ensuing war
Oh is it the treasury buybacks? Those are small though right?
