I think Bari Weiss isn't subtle enough in her programming choices for CBS to find her useful in the long term. She's going to cause ratings to tank. The question is: does she last long enough to hire Bill Maher to CBS before she gets canned?

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this King Gizzard album. It's like some previously undiscovered recording archives of a superband from the late 60s / early 70s

First I’m sorry that you had such tragic experiences. That’s horrific.
1) if a person on the news, such as a female journalist talks about a topic, does she deserve threats in a joking way?
2) would you believe those acceptable to receive on your account?

my earliest memory of going to a movie theater is seeing the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on release weekend with a handful of my friends for my 6th birthday party. Cowabunga!
After 35 years, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is back in theaters. The film's director looks back on the obstacles to making it in the first place.
Critics said 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' would flop. They underestimated Turtle Power

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved
Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

I wonder if some day the conversations about remote vs in person work for software development teams will have a realization about how elegantly mob/ensemble programming just kind of makes much of the debate just ... dissolve away
I'm a diehard remote person, but... The second half of this ^ is very true.
I'm convinced teamwork needs micro-communication. Like, imagine trying to cook a stew in the same kitchen as everyone and not being able to ask the other people how small they're cutting their vegetables.
