If thousands of my neighbors just died at the hands of their own government and then my daughter was blown up by some chucklefuck on the other side of the planet claiming to help, I would walk into sea.

It is hard to fathom the suffering innocent Iranians are enduring. God have mercy.

I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

This is fucking horrible

Ben inspired us! Today's top section in Garbage Day is a big list of all the indie and subscriber-driven media our team is following and supporting.

Hopefully a good starting point for anyone who wants to get away from Trump-compromised mainstream media.

LLM-generated text not only can’t evaluate the real-world truth of a claim, but its existence makes it way harder for any of us humans to do that evaluation, because the ratio of text that accurately describes the real world as observed by humans to text that doesn’t is shifting rapidly.

really good piece and I want to highlight this theme here, something I’ve become obsessed with: LLMs simply cannot evaluate the objective truth of any claim or the relative value of any information

Like, is this a whole thing? A sort of movement-consultant gig/job/community that shares a common language and framework that they they can be imported anywhere?

Reminds me of corporate consulting tbh. And also the permaculture training scene. And some other scenes I've engaged with.

I've now engaged with two "organizers" and/or "movement consultants" about a political effort I'm sorta interested in being a part of and the rhetoric / vibe just really rubs me the wrong way. Bland, generic, overly enthusiastic, detached from any sort of connection to other people or communities

Near-blind refugee found dead in Buffalo after release by Border Patrol A refugee who was almost blind died on the downtown streets of Buffalo, New York, after the U.S. Border Patrol dropped him off at a coffee shop.

As far as I am concerned this is murder and should be treated as such

As the ~discourse~ seems to bend interminably towards Republicans trying to figure out how they can (further) HDHP-ify ACA coverage, it's worth revisiting what is probably our best (most rigorous) study on the effect of deductibles in health insurance.

This effectively forces every trans person in the state to out themselves while applying for a job, renting an apartment, or being stopped by police. It's part of the same law that allows anyone to sue anyone else they suspect of being trans and using the "wrong" bathroom.

in summation, stanford is (once again) directly helping the rise of deadly anti-vaccine/public health politics; throwing every other medical school, university, and frankly the entire nation under the bus for the mere *chance* at getting corrupt grants and not getting extorted by trump. it’s evil.

Kansas is doing Nazi stuff to transgender people. This is not about minors having surgery. This is about adults having the most basic civil rights.

Please share. The International Association for Computing and Philosophy is one of the best communities to engage with if you are doing any philosophy (epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, etc.) related to computational technologies.

exploiting the hockey team like this is gonna backfire

Everybody looking nervous clapping for kicking people off food stamps

Here's hoping that Trump publicly humiliates Roberts, Barrett, and Gorsuch tonight. I hope he just really rips into them and calls them all sorts of names

Spending by Anthropic and a couple of other companies are basically propping up the entire stock market at this point

I'd almost consider watching some of the State of the Union tonight but the thought of having to see Vance smirking behind Trump the whole time is already making me nauseous

A screenshot of an Android app. Text: ▲ Nearby Glasses Smart Glasses are probably nearby Device: Unknown RSSI: -42 dBm Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E) Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

You can discharge your student loans with a bankruptcy. You have to be able to show a history of economic hardship i.e. not paying your bills. I was listening to an NPR segment on this and somewhere north of 80% of people who attempt this are successful.

should i try to design an AI agent tasked with explaining to the world that I am the best historian since Thucydides

Bookmarking this so the next time some cultist tells me this asshole is our only hope in 2028 I can reply with this clip of Newsom calling gay marriage "abnormal" and "not a tabletop issue"

Gay people have tables too, Gavin

Today I am feeling strangely and foolishly optimistic that genAI is just going to destroy grading as part of our educational system altogether

sure, that's after all the bodies pile up from the surveillance/cheating arms race. But still. Dream big, I tell myself. The future looks bright
