Bloomberg is a tech company that sells fancy terminals before it is a media company.

I was a crypto cynic, and I’m far from an AI hype guy, but LLMs are already quite useful for two things: 1) as a coding assistant; 2) for summarization of information. Overhyped for sure, but still a lot more useful than anything on Blockchain.

The American regime’s overreach is continuing to make my decision to keep living here voluntarily extremely embarrassing.

Hear me out: run clubs but everyone has their headphones in and doesn’t talk.

He’s really trying to play this off as some principled anti-consumerism thing?!

The modern work reality is pinging with someone frantically on chat, while you’re in a VC meeting with them and some others on a different topic, and not seeing each other in person despite being on the same floor of an office building.

Living in NYC is weird sometimes. Like when listening to Fisk in Daredevil talking about Red Hook while the real Red Hook is clearly visible in the window next to the TV.

Some friends of our’s were playing the Hello Kitty farming game. Island Adventure we think it is! @kwilliams.bsky.social

Oh right this is actually on Steam Deck! Sorry @kwilliams.bsky.social

@jinjarella.bsky.social What is it you are current playing again?

(Of course they don’t say “south”, they have eight dimensions and so a 2D coordinate system is practically useless, but their word, which is zblgttm, means basically the same thing)

The higher beings are clustered around our simulation now. “Here!” they say. “This is the point where it all really starts to go south.”

If this milquetoast post is enough then we have worse than deportation to be afraid of.

It is a very alarming time to be a green card holder who thinks that Israel is doing war crimes and the US president is a moron.

While I think you might be right, to some extent, about the outcome, I don’t think that means anyone should have propped up the Ponzi scheme with near zero practical value over traditional finance.

Also for some reason I just find the idea that Fisk could be elected Mayor of New York especially compelling right now.

Is Daredevil: Born Again a bit of a return to form for Marvel, or do I just really like tragic storylines?

Man, this brings me back to having the performance of the XNA game engine I wrote in university absolutely destroyed by string concatenations, which were of course all allocating.

Congrats to you both!

I think this is one of the most alarming things I have ever read from the US government.

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country WASHINGTON—According to a new report published Wednesday by the Pew Research Center, you live in a deeply embarrassing and barely functional country. “Our latest research and statistical analysis show...

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

If you think about it, most immigrants are coming in by plane, so they’re really just going for the source.

Guess I’m only paying state taxes this year.

Absolutely insane that the Fermi Paradox appears to be solved by the inevitable invention of video games and the subsequent culture wars, leading to the demise of any advanced civilization.

NYT article showing the following text selected: “It's going to mean a lot more business for America," he said of his decision to pause enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.”

I know none of this is surprising at this point but Jesus fucking Christ.

Trump signs order sanctioning International Criminal Court The Hague-based body has created a "shameful moral equivalency" between Hamas and Israel, the White House says.

Sounds like something an international criminal would say. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Government isn’t anywhere near as inefficient as the private contractors who price gouge government contracts.

This unfortunately makes a lot of sense.

Conveniently a bunch of the bad stuff we’ve been anxious about for the last twelve months or so has just started happening.
