Patton Oswalt got banned from Bluesky for expressing how he feels about rich people who rape children and the apologists who try to defend them.
Me trying to decide if this was ethical censorship that is being uniformly applied to the site:

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...
This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

Washington is treating the industry as if it’s too big to fail, even as the market sends lukewarm signals.

Looks like Patreon and Ko-Fi are next for companies closing payment accounts over NSFW content. Not *all* nsfw content, mind you. Imagine a credit card company dictating morality.

"Fuck hash tables" is the hot take that I needed this morning.
You know what, fuck hash tables, I'll throw a flat array and I'll store per-voxel probe indices into that array. That's a ton of extra memory but at least it's collision-free by design. Still far from trivial with all the atomics and probe allocation/recycling, but manageable.
Ok I slept over this and decided that I'll just use hash as key and ignore key collisions and hope for the best.
Also realized my pet engine's CPU hash table implementation has a bug :/

Possible a new Valve VR headset. HLX. The hopium is real. Poor Tyler trying to keep the chat from going off the deep end in case Valve is using the Steam Calendar when scheduling release dates.

Self-reliance is great! If you want medical care, maybe you should just go to medical school. Then you're gonna feel like a doctor.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Always important to distinguish *generative* AI. Alphafold uses a technique that would fall under that umbrella. Training of self-driving cars also uses generative AI. The flaw in failing AI was thinking they can put Emerson into a glorified graphing calculator and generative infinite poetry.
