Given the obscene amount of time and memory it takes to compile C++ templates, I wouldn't be surprised if the compiler is conjuring some fever dream. In fact I would hope so.

Not to mention the implication that all symbol-manipulation systems have precisely the properties of all other symbol manipulation systems. No, my compiler does not have qualia.

Outstanding. A triumph for liberty and against unrestrained state power. The government should be ashamed of having to be forced into this position.

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

Important update. Google’s YouTube has not only erased thousands of videos of human rights violations in Palestine, it has now blocked livestreaming from Al Jazeera within the country. If you have not already divested from the platform, now is the time to do so.

Every time I hear some genius bragging about how fast they are learning to code/write/make art by using AI instead of their own brain, I think of Jenko in 21 Jump Street on the drug that makes him think he’s figured out all of chemistry but the whiteboard is just a whole bunch of 4s

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed.

But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats.

Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

"'This is not America' has never been the reassurance people want it to be."

"It has always been the alibi."

"The truth is simpler and more unsettling: The U.S. has always governed through violence."

Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program.

This is for a Saudi Real Estate conference starting tomorrow.
A vertically oriented promotional poster with a dark blue gradient background for the “Real Estate Future Forum,” organized by Saudi Arabia’s Real Estate General Authority (REGA). At the top are the forum logo and the REGA logo in white. Large Arabic text in the center reads “Riyadh,” described as “the capital of global real estate dialogue,” followed by a short paragraph stating that the forum affirms the Kingdom’s position as a global economic center and brings together international investors and experts to discuss the future of the global economy. Below the text are five professional headshot photos arranged in two rows. In the top row are John Kerry (left), a gray-haired man in a dark suit and tie, and Hillary Clinton (right), a blonde woman smiling and wearing a dark blouse. Beneath each photo are Arabic captions identifying them as former U.S. Secretaries of State from the United States. In the bottom row are three photos: Tucker Carlson (left), a man in a dark jacket and light shirt; Piers Morgan (center), a man in a suit jacket and open-collar shirt; and Richard Branson (right), a man with long blond hair and a beard wearing a dark jacket. Arabic captions beneath each identify Carlson and Morgan as media figures and Branson as the founder of the Virgin Group, with their respective countries listed (United States for Carlson; United Kingdom for Morgan and Branson). Near the bottom, Arabic text states “Fifth Edition,” with dates listed as January 26–28, 2026. Below that, the venue is listed as the Four Seasons Hotel at Kingdom Center in Riyadh. Along the very bottom edge are several small official logos and icons related to Saudi government housing and development programs and Vision 2030, all in white.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.

When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL

I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.

The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

The two party model is a ratchet that moves steadily to the right, regardless of the relative difference between parties.

The democrat party today is the republican party of the 90s. In 20 years, people will be arguing that the democrat death squads are better because they are not cannibal rapists.
