This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

The time saved on things like active coding was overwhelmed by the time needed to prompt, wait on, and review AI outputs, according to the study.
Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower
Coders spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generations than they saved on coding.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

I spent like 16 hours drawing the grass and now I'm not sure if it looks too crude at higher resolutions lol. What do you think? Criticism VERY welcome.

A screenshot of a video game. Daytime. Summer. Buildings rise from behind a lush hill. The grass is vibrant, the sky is clear, the clouds are gentle white. Alongside more familiar structures like condos and factories stands a glass dome, a massive obsidian cube, a shattered castle, and a thin glass tube reaching ever upwards, enclosed by floating triangles. A world like ours, but distinct. Below, an amethyst frame surrounds a starry sky. In it, pearled runestones of varied colors, bearing varied designs. To the top left, a portrait of an orange-haired magician and a dashboard with numbers and icons.

It's my birthday and I want to share some joy!

Are you making a card based game?
Or did you make your own OC trading cards?
Share them or tag a friend who does!

One of the best JRPGs ever made, and I've played many.

Challenging combat, great music, and an initially minimal narrative that unfolds into something beautiful. If you like dungeon crawling and have the patience to power through an overly easy opening segment, don't miss out!

I need you to hear a few bullet points before I hit the end point:

*The Portage Sheriffs used inmates for security and other services.
*The Portage Sheriffs conducted false arrests to acquire inmates.
*The Portage Sheriffs profited off the labor of their inmates.

Slavery is alive and well in 2024.

So, how do you prevent Bluesky's image-scaling algorithm from messing up pixel art? Try as I might, I can't prevent blurring, but other people seem to manage so there must be a way.

Any help would be appreciated. Please and thank you.

A pixel art image depicting two figures standing in front of an otherworldly city. Bright colors, blue skies, green grass. To the left, a creature comprised of "IV" bags and tubes. Organs float freely in the churning fluids. Nerves and eyes and brains and more. Two tentacles hold ray guns. To the right, a red-haired woman with heels to match, wearing a blue dress and a ribbon too. A brush tinged red is gripped firmly in one hand, and a cocktail glass in the other. In the background, the city. Skyscrapers striped with glass windows stretching across floors. Factories and glass domes and a great black cube, featureless. Barely noticed are the little houses near the bottom, dwarfed by peers. A text box reads: "Wish you were here".

I wrote about the study of Ritchie et al. 2015 which concluded that education influences specific skills but not a general factor of intelligence. Re-analysis of the same data shows that an influence directly on intelligence actually fits much better, a complete reversal.
Does education increase intelligence and does it matter?

I wrote about the latest attempt to sell genetic IQ prediction and why it is snake oil. A short 🧵:

Genomic prediction of IQ is modern snake oil
Predicting IQ from genetics is inaccurate, confounded, and sows confusion about genetic research.

The minor arcana. Wands, grails, pentacles, swords.
Made using this wonderful palette: lospec.com/palette-list...

A pixel art drawing of four cards, each bearing an occult symbol. A red wand, horned and winged. A blue grail, emanating spirit. A yellow pentacle, emblazoned with a black star. A green sword, shining like an emerald.

In case you're in any doubt about the need for action on scientific racism: in the last month alone, four new papers have been published using Lynn's scientifically worthless 'national IQ' data. Two were published in Elsevier journals and one in a Springer journal 😐

A certain cowboy wizard from a certain mysterious game..

First time trying selout. A bit messy, but not too bad for a beginner, I think. I used Kerrie Lake's beautiful Resurrect 64 palette, so color credit goes to her.
