This is the future YIMBY's want.

LMAO. Dumping all your shares of a shovel making company in order to YOLO more money into your favorite gold mining enterprise is peak Masayoshi Son behavior.

Broke: crayoning (metaphorically)
Woke: crayoning *literally*

Man, the discover feed truly is useless. Not only is it mostly posts from people I already follow. Now it also apparently contains MAGA trolls posting the most inane ragebait.

Man, I didn't want to be negative about LLM's for once, I really did.

But if you want to show off a "cool new thing" and you have to caveat the only example with:
"Look I know this is complete trash, but..."

what the fuck am I supposed to think about that?

I saw someone today unironically argue that "trying to fix disabled people" (like helping people in wheelchairs walk again or blind people see and such) is eugenics and leads directly to genocide.

I haven't felt this imbued with the Spirit of Centrism in a long time.

Flying to (Paris-)Beauvais today and had to turn my phone off seconds before I managed to snap a picture of LGV Nord.

Ryanair, please, I want my money back...

Brno discontinued and then restored tram service on it's north-south axis through the old town some years back.

What makes it interesting is that there is also a small circle of tram lines around the center that serve most of the tram traffic.

The real unicorn: an AI startup that's actually profitable.

Little surprise that they're apparently not funded by VC money (directly, they use currently VC subsidized services like GPT)

With all due respect, have you considered that Marc Andreessen, a crypto-fashist in both senses of the word, is full of shit?

What do you meeean? I thought cheese already has lots of protein.

Spoiler: it has 19/100g of protein vs 17/100g in regular mozzarella. Surprisingly same price.

Pretty sure I got my first BlueAnon bot in the replies (for some reason). Directed him to the corner of shame.

Had to endure a day long workshop on an enterprise AI platform (mostly chatbots). Tried my best to keep an open mind (I mean there are always impressive demos). But honestly, it left me unpleasantly unsurprised.

My brain was pretty fried afterwards so just some things that stuck in my mind:

You use Signal for sensitive information that mustn't be found out by governments.
I use Signal to send pictures of cats.
We're not the same.

Just thought about how posts on all post Elon micro blogging sites are kinda named after bodily discharges, which I find worthy of the dumbest timeline. "Skeets" on Bluesky, "toots" on Mastodon, "xeets" (pronounced sheets)/ eXcretions on the Nazi Site.

Speaking of Microsoft. Apparently they're fostering bold innovations in the LLM space... by allowing Excel users to integrate gacha mechanics into their data pipelines.

Dear Microsoft, why the everloving fok does the new Outlook run worse on my current gen Lenovo Thinkpad, than old Outlook did on my previous model year 2015 thinkpad.

Currently (re)learning French and am mildly sad that there's l'élision in l'élision, but no la liasion in la liasion.

You know you've reached absurd levels of critihype when the Chief Shovel Salesman is like "dude, chill"
