it's important to remember that the past is a different place with different moral frameworks like for example if a Spanish royal from the 1500s was to learn that we had a Columbus Day they would probably think there was something deeply wrong with our society, some kind of foundational moral rot
there is like an *exact* correspondence to this in columbus’s logs where he meets the taino and says ‘they’re so friendly, would make great slaves’ and las casas appends a comment along the lines of ‘look at this, you could not ask for better proof of what an incredibly sick fuckhead columbus was’

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...
London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

(2025-321/365) I already have an article talking about this today, but in #kpop and by extension in cpop it takes courage to strike out on your own and do solo work, and that's what #Dreamcatcher Handong did with her 1st solo album and this MV, "Gray Zone". #blueskies www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgRW...

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management

which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

Happy #WorldTamanduaDay! We shared that Winnie is expecting, marking what will be our first tamandua birth in over a decade! She is trained to participate in her own veterinary care and will continue regular ultrasounds and her iconic “walks with Winnie” to stay healthy throughout her pregnancy.

I also think that people forget just how much computers crashed before we started making them more "memory inefficient". It used to be completely normal that your personal computer would just explode two or three times a day and you'd lose all your work. I still have the "control-s every five […]

something i have tried to explain a few times, when people see crashes (panics, asserts, segfaults, whatever) as "bad":

when you have a bug, your program crashes if you're lucky. If you're not lucky, your program keeps running, but it is now a different program than you think it is. That's worse.
“rust isn’t safe because it panics” shut da fuck up rust is safe BECAUSE it panics. instead of, you know. not doing that.

Ridership jumped, people cut back on driving and, over the summer, the city extended the program another year.

remember when the previous board of OpenAI warned that Sam Altman was a greasy little shit who lied a lot and had all sorts of weird financial conflicts of interest and the entire tech press dismissed them all as crackpots?

Mike Johnson's current argument is that the Epstein files contain national security secrets that must stay classified.

That Epstein was so very intimately involved in the CIA and FBI, for some reason. Don't ask why. Definitely do not ask why the world's biggest pedophile was told all these secrets

Mike Johnson: Listen. Do you know how many national security secrets we sent to this guy over the years? Loads. He had loads of classified information, which we handed him. We were all talking with him right up til his death, about very top secret stuff. This is a defense, btw
