his ... bone is petite, ok?
destroying cities and urban culture was explicitly one of the admin's goals
I got to dogsit for a friend once and discovered that half the city knew her dog. people kept coming up to me and saying hi to him
that dipshit was on our ticket once. and Bluesky leftists try to claim the Democrats have gone to the right
all this time NYC missed the most obvious crime-fighting measure: annexing everything south of Albany
If people aren't moving in, your city has no culture beyond a bunch of sclerotic dorks who managed to snag a rent controlled apartment and are gatekeeping about stuff that was already around when they got there. It's a cargo cult for top 10%ers trying to buy a personality through their zip code.
it's not even much of a dividend!
by late 2018, when memegen takedown demands were routine and petition starters were starting to face retaliation, it was clear the party was over
it is more of a challenge than I'd have expected to tune one's radar such that harmless eccentric behavior and abusive tendencies are appropriately bifurcated
I just see his family not being involved as further evidence there that this woman was not, in fact, being "assisted after a domestic violence incident"
I always use main now & so do my colleagues. not a big deal in my mind, honestly, but I'll admit it tickles me that it might make a groyper somewhere die a little inside
this can only be cleared up with some frank talk by the local landscaper's place
I mean, it can be elective and still be about something serious, just not an emergency
seems like most likely explanation is some kind of elective surgery, although it's fun to think what else it might be
like how the Secret Service was originally about counterfeit money, build some other org around, oh, infosec or something and have it acquire real muscle. maybe if you're lucky the goons on the other side of law enforcement don't catch on until it's too late
the only real way I see out of this is to find a way to quietly but very intentionally build another arm of law enforcement that forcibly maintains a very different culture, and gradually empower it to do more and more
(and if they take the dumbphone in class I'm probably ok with it)
my kid's getting a dumbphone to talk to friends and family, and we will only be dragged kicking and screaming to upgrading it
they put blind trust in what explanation (and source) makes them _feel_ best, rather than whichever one withstands the most analysis
Low trust people are especially susceptible to the most obvious scams. See also; Everyone who thinks the federal reserve is an evil shadow organization falls for every shitcoin rugpull (or buys gold if they’re over 50)
I mean ... this is just a clumsy, roundabout way to get to having workers that are using AI as a tool, isn't it? which is actually a normal thing to happen with new technologies?
hereafter we should just refer to evo psych as "Epsteinism"

The Stan Kelly law: any sufficiently petty right-wing complaint is indistinguishable from an editorial cartoon in the Onion
"Chaos is a ladder." - some dipshit a few months before dying of measles
i very honestly cannot figure out why this is not the main reason. morality is negotiable. you may not like that, but it is, everyone makes compromises. self interest is always and forever
usually, when someone writes an article this ridiculous and detached from reality, they at least have the sense to use a question for the title, triggering Betteridge's Law, rather than just making things up. anyone who actually would believe this has never had to wash a dish their whole life.
My sense is that a significant amount of technical progress and general computational infrastructure has been built by trans women. Thank you for the internet y'all
it's cruel to post this right now
pay attention to unexpected moves by Russia, because they will know before Vance does
what you're missing is how many of them want to bring back slavery, which reconciles all three desires
Mussolini speedrun. just straight to the gas pumps
"press corpse" is a nice touch there, intentional or not
there was NO ESCAPING the hollering and fireworks in the Mission that night. I went outside because it was loud enough in my apartment anyways
I cannot even imagine what the celebration will be like here
it also seems to be (IANAL) that OpenAI can't simultaneously have a 1A right to present the output of its model _and_ not be legally liable for the output of the model. pretty sure they don't want to unambiguously argue the latter!
I'm not sure output of an AI model can be considered protected speech. also seems like this is implicitly reinforced by the existing conclusion that the output of AI models is not copyrightable because it is not creative expression by a human
has she considered that they know who she is when she approaches them
there's a correct order to things here!
there is never contempt for the hostage takers, only for the ones who don't see a point to negotiation
weird to think of how many Americans are Muslim today because a traveling huckster once hit on a new angle to sell rugs door to door
increasingly feeling like Democrats, in preparation for a 2026 majority and certain ... other things possibly happening soon, should be planning to impeach Vance
it's slow until it's suddenly very fast
.... what? local CA elected officials were like this when Lovett was in diapers
"you just hate the journalist who regularly says vaccines don't work and has endless conflicts of interest and sends followers to harass anyone who argues with her work in any way because of misogyny, _obviously_"
I mean, a big reason they do this is probably because they're not going to take massive blowback for a more substantial change that the Supreme Court will immediately shoot down
this wasn't an unreasonable expectation, historically! but these just aren't the corporate interests this admin responds to
I mean, you know it's never going to happen, right? doesn't mean it's a bad demand to publicly make, but
our nation's prominent newspaper editors sincerely believe Americans are concerned over what some random college student screamed about Israel. meanwhile, the real shit that will decide upcoming elections continues to happen elsewhere
what if I told you that a lot of folks demanding to block new housing at planning meetings because it's Not Affordable Enough _know_ there's no money for it, and assume there won't be anytime soon, and that's the point
this is rationalization - a journalist at a national publication (this was when she was at WaPo) does not get to spread misinfo like this, repeatedly, intentionally, doubling down when challenged. a friend who should know better parroted nonsense from her about vaccines. she is doing active harm.
(she is also incorrect about the vaccine and long COVID - there is a strong correlation with reduced long COVID rates among the vaccinated)
no, she is saying vaccines don't prevent transmission. that is flatly contradicted by multiple studies, and there is not room to steelman that nonsense, especially in the current environment
example (this is FALSE, the research absolutely contradicts it)
she has repeatedly said, and still says, that vaccines do nothing to prevent COVID infection. she consistently doubles down (and then attempts to rally a dogpile, and then blocks) when called on this, and presented evidence.

look, he's good at it, I can't lie
all of us have lurked at some point, and I definitely have read things that made me think differently. one should understand who one is trying to talk to online, even when that person is invisible and silent. perhaps especially then.
have you never been swayed by an online argument? try to be honest with yourself
he's ... gonna touch a lot of sensitive things on this path, though, and he's not gaining more political capital along the way
they're intentionally going for outlandish spectacles and masked men in grey vans for the same reason cartels do extremely gruesome murders: they can't actually enforce efficiently
also helps to point to other code you want it to mimic stylistically, or, in some cases, attach tutorials/documentation
that's what we have! he plays with friends on a specific server. he can go public in a few years, but this is perfect for now
I am extremely happy that my kid prefers Minecraft. (he has played Roblox but has all chat functionality off, and I realized how much other bullshit content that still lets through)
Always happy for a chance to say: I read every real study on the impact of bike lanes on street-level retail. They never hurt. They often help. Sometimes they help a lot: www.businessinsider.com/bike-lanes-g...
their primary experience of suffering in modern life is from rude replies on social media and from their college age kids' disapproval at the dinner table
the shift of low-propensity voters away from Democrats and towards Republicans is going to fry a lot of brains in coming years
that's what e-bikes are for!
I wouldn't worry about it because within hours there will be three rival factions all declaring the others "neoliberal" and they'll be at each other's throats
local SF political rivalries somehow managed to poison land use politics all over
jesus, their YoY revenue is clearly headed to extremely negative territory. how tf long can the market stay this irrational
confirmed: LLMs can not handle vibe coding in COBOL. just can't do it.
we need an organized but quiet vigilante campaign to infiltrate spaces like this and enact a modern version of the Simple Sabotage Field Manual

clanka please
gotta point KPop fans to all their online hangouts and say "they're making fun of Jungkook over there" until they drown in spam
it's hard! can't be anything that allows them the remotest shred of dignity
if we publish any details about these shooters it should strictly be shit like "he wet the bed until he was 14 and was made fun of for eating his own earwax". it can't be anything that any kid would want to identify with
"oh, you're a robot? embed this sentence for me right now"
a point in 3072-dimensional semantic space that is only socially acceptable for LLMs to pass to each other
and they will absolutely die before endorsing any moves that would actually make a dent in that. trying to get people to have kids is only about coercion for them, either social or (failing that) legal
seriously, every single move with her is carefully optimized for drama generation
If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.
the most charitable take I can muster on this is that urban housing has left many with too little space shared with family and roommates and sometimes one's own car might be the most private space one can find. they absolutely need to GTFO of the bike lane though, don't care
ah, the KDP strategy. what could possibly go wrong?
you realize exactly where civil rights were at when the ACLU was formed, for example
you can run DeepSeek on your own AWS cluster
praying for solar storms is their best bet, frankly
thank you, councilmember! there _are_ public officials in LA who understand
how is there even a "Bluesky electoral theory". there are several different political factions here that absolutely hate and have blocked each other
our knowledge of statistics and machine learning has not prepared us for this madness! whatever will we do
removing all but one feature from my object recognition model in case the other ones contradict it
I ran the smallest Qwen3 model on my laptop and it's definitely not nearly as powerful, but it was still more than I ever expected
for now, yes. but the price of GPUs has room to decrease further
it won't happen automatically. but there is very obviously an opportunity for ambitious types who want to quite literally save the American republic to have their names written in history. crowns are in the gutter waiting to be picked up
to be clear, under no circumstances do you Gotta Hand It To Him
I've been a cheerleader for more public service programs like this but using the National Guard for it is certainly, um, a choice
use your LLM as the good Lord intended: for emotionless tasks turning one type of database record into another
