For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.
I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

Primary all of these motherfuckers. We need a real opposition party. People are out here doing the work, looking out for one another, putting themselves in harm’s way, protecting their neighbors, and these assholes are undoing it all. Corrupt Vichy motherfuckers.
John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Fuck this clown. Time to retire.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

This is Cincinnatus the Roman our city was named after. He is returning the symbol of leadership called a fasces (the root of the word fascism) to return to a life of farming, thus becoming AFAIK history’s first anti-fascist

For the first time in history, DSA has 80,000 members in good standing! Tens of thousands of new members have joined the last year alone. In the face of rising fascism, a US-backed genocide, and an escalating climate crisis, socialism is the only path forward. 1/3

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.
Including some users passports & DLs
Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.
Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Fwiw, I think LLMs cannot be created ethically imho. They cannot scale without destructive resource usage. bsky.app/profile/iris... cc @olivia.science
The intractability proof (a.k.a. Ingenia theorem) implies that any attempts to scale up AI-by-Learning to situations of real-world, human-level complexity will consume an astronomical amount of resources (see Box 1 for an explanation). 13/n
