oh my god the thought of using LLMs to develop OS code is actually nauseating. it's like actually critically important that OS code functions properly and they're leaving that task up to The Hallucination Machine
A bizarre Windows 11 bug duplicates Task Manager instead of closing it

this sucks and is garbage but also the non-AI version of this would whip extremely hard. yes please I do want more non-euclidean nightmare games thank you
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

this is just unironically true psychologically, and is honestly too generous. a lot of people are working with an emotional and logical capacity they developed when they were like...eight, at the latest

the complete bullshit of these claims aside: autism is not a "risk". just say you think it's scary that autistic people exist you absolute cowards
The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.
When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

absolutely not looking forward to the societal discourse on nonbinary people if how it's going so far is that we're fearmongering without even saying the word nonbinary
A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
How stable are the gender identities of younger children?

I'm always in awe of people who make video games, but I have at least a general idea of how to make one; making a TTRPG is like wizardry to me, could not even tell you the first thing about how to do that

I won't pretend there's a consensus on this but y'all know that *diagnosis* is constructed, right

so as someone who was planning on applying to postgrad programs this year, what exactly is the recourse here
do I apply anyways and hope programs I apply for don't get cut?
do I look internationally?
do I take a nap for the next 3-6 years?
that last option is increasingly appealing

parallel to the "conservatism is a pedophile cult" theory is an idea I've held to strongly lately: that America is a culture of cyclical, intergenerational abuse and repressed trauma as the foundation of normalcy. abuse becomes easy to excuse in a society of dissociation and compartmentalization
A fan of President Donald Trump told C-SPAN that she wasn't concerned about the release of files on Jeffrey Epstein because it was "human nature" to molest children.

this is an interesting study, but it's immensely frustrating how autism is treated like a genetic black box instead of something that is also neurological, developmental and *sociological* in nature.
this group was *37%* of participants, the largest subtype! there are more factors at play here!
