Starting the countdown for Graham Linehan to try and pass off a stalking arrest as political imprisonment.
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
Russia’s steel sector has suffered its worst decline since the invasion began: -10.2% in July. Magnitogorsk’s profits fell ninefold, cash flow turned negative, and major suppliers to the arms industry are posting billion-ruble losses. Sanctions aren’t symbolic—they’re working. Details:
Why hasn't someone made Take Your Kitten To Work Day a national holiday?
There's no way he typed this with his pants on
is he trying to spell bon appétit?
“hell was full”
NEW: Belgium has decided to recognize Palestine as well take multiple measures against Israel, including -The ban of all settler goods from being imported -Sanctions on Smotrich and Ben Gvir -Restrictions on imports from Israeli businesses -No consular services to Israelis in the oPt
Fairly easy to see that ζ converges for all s > S for some S on the positive real line whenever the series grows no more than exponentially fast, and then you can always analytically continue to -1; convergence with this moderator should also imply ζ convergence but I'm less sure about the reverse
Matching standard convergence when the limit exists + linearity + right behavior under finite prefix add/drop are a surprisingly strong constraint IIRC; wouldn't be surprised at all if it's equivalent to ζ
Is this equivalent to zeta regularization in the general case or just for this one?
Trump is holding a televised news conference to make a speech tomorrow at 2 PM. No announcement what it is about Three possibilities strike me as top contenders 1. Martial law in major cities in blue states (NYC, Chicago) 2. EO targeting trans people after shooting 3. Health update (least likely)
You put it in between the XML plate and XML cathode; watch out for excess capacitance
Using one photo already on your phone, what is Trump announcing at 2:00pm?
in security circles, they have a saying: Never write your own crypto that's why I get ChatGPT to write crypto for me!
"I have died and returned as a zombie; please await the hordes. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
I'm well aware
Don't underestimate how devastating untreated blueskyism can be
Too similar to 'poset'? Never posit, only negate?
I have to fill out attach a separate form to my passport application to try to get it updated to my legal name and gender. And this form is only for the hold from a court decision in the last few months. Why are Democrats letting Republicans steer the conversation away from my right to travel?
I see someone doesn't know the etymology of the term 'squick'
There are days when this website doesn't feel much less like a cesspit of evil than Twitter
...and here's *Brent Fucking Dill* lecturing someone for being rude to him: *incredible* website, really
(ye gods what a cesspit it became there)
heh, speaking of scott's comment section, look who was reading back:
(and, unfortunately, I have just run out of ability to finish reading your post because tumblr)
sure, just ... damn, that one's bad even by NRX standards
(radishmag, incidentally, was also the ultimate source of much-mocked magic cards)
also, one of the sources scott was linking to there is overtly pro-slavery: radishmag.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/s...
(but a nice modern implementation with equivalent but decentralized behavior would be nice)
30-year-old blogging code originally implemented in, IIRC, perl should probably not so much be 'used' as 'buried under a sign marked "this is not a place of honor"'
wanted: livejournal over atproto (wouldn't work, you need to fine-grained privacy settings to fuel requisite drama - needs a bunch of usergroup/key distribution infrastructure first)
github is also probably a lot less likely change in ways that make it less readable or accessible later after people have linked to it in a bunch of places
I'm significantly more likely to read github than to try to wade through tumblr but I definitely don't count as normal
so you're against saying it, but what's your stance on doing it?
They really shouldn't have given up on "Don't be evil"
Svalbard - a place where the sun rises in March and doesn't set again until October - does daylight savings time
they still make those?
And yet, nobody in US society is questioning whether it's a good idea for every city to have a heavily-armed murder squad which can be launched by anyone at all merely by making a phone call.
that sure is some fancy crazy there
most of them signed up because they wanted to be the baddies

ok cool let's see the Raman spectroscopy for this
Asked on his deathbed to whom he would leave his empire, Donald whispered a final, baffling decree before expiring: "to the dampest" (τῷ ὑγροτάτῳ).
A skeptic is someone who needs to analyze and understand the evidence for a claim before they accept it. RFK Jr has seen all the evidence, had it patiently explained to him, and rejected it because it didn’t fit his worldview. He’s not a skeptic, he’s an anti-vaccine zealot.
"Do you want to be the one to tell JD Vance he has to make the couches in the naval observatory last another six months?"
President Donald Trump is still dead
Wild how poorly they’re handling this, like they could just post a generic photo, instead they’re pouring fuel on the fire

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
Wondering when Elon Musk will realize the only way he'll get to raise a whole legion in his compound with no interference from a mother with other plans is to get himself cloned a few thousand times
oh, I was pretty substantially self-taught from what textbooks I could get hold of too, except I independently reinvented/reverse-engineered a chunk of differential calculus around age 8-9 and then went looking for real materials
I'm not the person to ask here, I hit it for the first time around age 10 and found it effortless
I wonder if it's related to the mental block you run into with some programmer types on *continuous* math
(I'm actually kinda surprised scott struggled there; he never struck me as exactly a "good at math" person but certainly as "bright enough in general to handle basic shit")
they're not actually all complete morons; it pays a lot to be careful about disentangling empirical claims from ethical and political ones here
I wonder when we get to arachno-papist
i'm sorry if you can't derive that shit on the fly, ngmi :P
she was also in their circles early enough for this NRX magic card:
someone who went into the nazification machine, and who hadn't gone all the way through back when she wrote those. her *current* output looks like a whole lot of this:
Shadowbanning is real in the ATmosphere network. It currently has a 7 days expiration; automatic or you triggered it; meant for suspicious activities. If legit people are talking about it because they got hit = high false positives = it's unnecessarily aggressive = additional load for mods.
*Deterrence works*
"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
We have Diogenes at home
Also, deterrence once again works
Huh, it's almost like they had their brain entirely pickled in far-right detrans ideology

there was an alt.extropians; you have little chance of finding good archives anymore
that wasn't usenet, and you should also look through sl4 for early history: sl4.org
That is one hell of a community note there, Curtis
...damn
The 21st century is woefully short on Winchester Mystery House-building
This is honestly the best fucking news I've heard in months. Even when he's trying to force the jackboots to roll over the entire nation, he's stiffing them like a contractor at one of his dingy hotels. This is fucking great. This is actual fucking hope.
I wonder if he'll make them camp on a loading dock again
So, Madagascar plan it is
I don't think there's any real evidence for how the earlier people arrived and you should not take a paleolithic ocean crossing seriously (but maybe a coastal island-hopping route could have been viable), but I think you should provisionally believe in a multi-wave settlement model
...but, there's also a bunch of evidence for human presence too early for that route: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_S...
The distribution of the Na-Dene language family (and, recently demonstrated, some links to Siberian languages), the introduction of the dog and a bunch of extinctions and IIRC some mtDNA haplogroups pretty clearly point to a big migration around that time via that route
This is fucked up, obviously but please stop leaving money on your PayPal
heh, we're going to need to start demanding proof the photos are recent
oh nice, that's an improvement on the situation that's prevailed recently
did anything new happen today?
pissed at the apparent demise of libgen
"This would kill a Victorian child on contact" buddy, that kid grew up with heroin in their cough syrup and arsenic in their wallpaper. A Victorian child would probably kill YOU on contact.
I suppose anencephaly doesn't sound so scary when you aren't in the habit of using your brain anyway
yeah, at some point it's just a clear-cut case of self-defense *caught on video* even for the damn cops
review all of PoC||GTFO including the non-PDF things hidden away inside them, write a parser for it and then get back to me :)
absolutely cursed file format
hi, cis folks! this is present day reality for UK trans folks. it’s outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love. hi, cis americans! this is a future trans americans see that starts with “we need to compromise.”
They really just don't want an economy anymore
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
it's all getting bought by the russians isn't it?
We need to seriously ramp up pressure. Porn bans are coming, if not officially, then at least in effect. We need to start moving things in the opposite direction. Stories like this provide more ammo to use when talking to representatives.
Worrying about whether he'll get into heaven sure didn't last
This is a delusionally narcissistic aspiring fascist dictator trying to extort global leaders in a shallow vanity project to bolster is deranged personality cult, then illegally using state violence to impoverish innocent citizens when his vanity isn't placated. The tree of liberty thirsts.
