sometimes i feel bad for people who have easier lives; people for whom the established script is at least "close enough". maybe they'll never be broken down but it means they'll never get to make themselves

Cory Booker now using hour 23 of his filibuster to say he deserved more targets for a 5-6 Stanford team in 1990. "I had better hands than Ed McCaffrey," he tells Congress. "And let me tell you: there's a reason John Lynch didn't play QB in the NFL."

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

Vulgar Display of Power
Hayao Miyasaki is the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a Japanese animation studio known worldwide for their stunning, emotional, beautiful stories and movies.

one of the first things i read as a baby engineer: www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/t...
BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

I do like the numbers and numbers on top of numbers. They’re inventing new numbers all the time. You thought BABIP wasn’t a thing? You thought they weren’t measuring exit velocity? I saw a Foolish Baseball vid about arm angles. I like football and we basically just go “that guy has a dog in him”

insane to me how all manner of computer tasks can be done with built-in tools on linux but if i go to look up the easy way to do it on windows it's like "yeah just get HaroldWare File Copier Pro™, you can either pay $20 for it or let it install a toolbar" like what are you guys doing over there

ooof — reading the comments under any post about (arch) linux deeply hurts.
the question is not "is arch linux beginner friendly?" the question is "is arch a good distro?" and, well. I have some thoughts.

LLMs are good at so many things but they're certainly not good at *this*
don't do this unless you already have domain expertise!
don't do this unless you already have domain expertise!
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.
Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

In my MSc dissertation on climate finance, I show that very high-level financial actors consider the integration of climate data to be a necessary condition for informed decision-making. This means that JP Morgan and other banks are, in effect, making the informed decision to short the Earth.
My hair is blown backwards by the spectacle of JP Morgan launching a new note about climate impacts whilst they continue to actively lend their immense power towards worsening those impacts
