two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.
2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.
3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

My view on all the LLM-powered code review processes I've seen: 90% of it is just creating text slop absolutely nobody reads.
Doing it yourself, before you push to GH, is fine. But making your co-workers interpret this noisy slop is wasting their time.

Every person who says "of course there are some uses for LLMs" should be forced to immediately list what those uses are, taking into account that:
a) they cannot be accurate and there is no way to make them accurate
b) they have been repeatedly shown to make users dumber and worse at their jobs

I’m getting to the age where I’m pretty sure everything is a scam. Unknown number? Scam. Facebook friend request? Scam. Movie over 90 minutes? Scam. Person being nice to me? Definitely a scam.

I like being a human being who makes decisions about this one wild and precious life I’ve been given, even when it is sometimes annoying or overwhelming. It is life and it is meant to be lived. I do not want robot-mommy-slave to do that for me. Thanks anyway though, ya freak.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.
I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.
