also, these "WAR" values (a) are derived from a statistical model that produces ideologically convenient results that no other open-source model replicates, (b) lack controls for important factors like fundraising and candidate experience, and (c) completely ignore uncertainty in the data. not good!

it is one thing to say "here is what our measurements tell us about the playing field," it is something very different to leap from that to "and here is why we have a better understanding of your specific circumstance and your particular electorate than you, the person who represents the district"

I’m a little surprised that was overturned. Not a good challenge, but worse have gone unpunished

Post in r/indiedev by Sbibble: "The game I've been working on for months is exactly the same as a game I just discovered today. What do I do? Hi all, I've been working on a little project in Godot since about October. The idea was a bullet-hell roguelike, sort of like Enter the Gungeon, but with a spell system like in Noita, where players can get upgrades to change the behaviour of their projectiles. I know the idea isn't exactly original, but I thought it was a neat spin on things, and pretty feasible for a novice developer like me. I've gotten pretty far, and the game is nearly feature complete. Today, out of curiosity, I had a look through Godot's newsfeed on Steam, and found the game Gunforged. It is remarkably similar to the project I have been working on, to the point where Steam even compares it to Noita and Gungeon specially on the store page. What do I do? I'm worried my game will be seen as just a ripoff, despite the fact that I hadn't even heard about this other game until today. Reply by Firebelly: "Hey I'm the creator of Gunforged! I would say don't be discouraged. There's plenty of room to do Gunforged better than I did, especially if you can do something unique. But even just improving my game's deficiencies can set you apart enough to sell some copies. If you like your idea then keep going!

The end result of allowing people who believe in genetic racial superiority against all science is you get people who believe they will magically avoid death by genetic racial superiority against all science.

Meanwhile the protein bombs known as viruses tear through your kids.

Bitey
"Do you remember what you were like when you were younger?" asks one crow to another as they are landing on wet snow. "Bitey" replies the second crow. "Right... but do you remember what it was like to BE you?" "What did you think about? Have you changed fundamentally? How can you really know?" The first crow is pondering. The background is a pattern of blue circles. "I guess I don't bite as much as I used to" answers the second crow. "You bite enough" says the first.

She's taking responsibility and has been removed from her job. If you heard this story from a friend ("omg I canoodled with my boss at a Coldplay concert last night") rather than seeing it on TikTok you wouldn't feel the need to cast her as some world-historical villain.

Also, like, the CEO is the bigger problem here because he's the one with power over her. It's his responsibility not to canoodle with his direct reports.

longstanding theory on this is that people who know the applicant that they don't want to hire has racial resentment offer "wish i could've hired you, but they made me hire a black woman instead!" as a let-them-down-easy cope rather than admit to them that they just didn't want to hire them.

Guess I'll post this again
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

it's not like there's any context that makes a "covetous jew dance" good but the actual context for this is truly awful
the original cartoon that gave rise to the ugly "happy merchant" anti-semitic meme, which features caricatures of a jewish man and black man and says "let's face it! a world without [jews] and [blacks] would be like a world without [rats] and [cockroaches]."

Pretty heartbreaking situation. Nacua sat down and talked with me and RotoPat a couple years ago at the Super Bowl and came off as a genuine, regular guy. He also came off as naive, for whatever that might be worth.

On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score

Suspend him tbh

while i am not an academic i did see this coming and post about it on bluesky, which is why i am quoted in this article
Moser tells Rolling Stone that to even claim LLMs "hallucinate" fictional publications misunderstands the threat they pose to our comprehension of the world, because the term "implies that it's different from the normal, correct perception of reality" But the chatbots are "always hallucinating," he says. "It's not a malfunction. A predictive model predicts some text, and maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't, but the process is the same either way. To put it another way: LLMs are structurally indifferent to truth."

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Olivia Nuzzi went deep into the bowels of power and felched out America’s nasty truths to write American Canto, a book so full of herky-jerky, overwrought purple prose that I genuinely don’t believe that any of the 1,100 (eleven-hundred) people who bought her book made it to the back cover.

Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza are both such awful writers that I cannot even enjoy this modern literary scandal, a fucking shame! Halfwits throwing shots at each other across the Algonquin kids table, I’m sick of it!
