it especially takes a lot of energy to train one as stupid as sam altman. word has it they're still trying to train him to this day.

Do you have any of your humbuckers wired in parallel or can be switched into parallel? Been a fascination for me lately since it produces a much more glassy sound than you normally get from a humbucker but still retains most of the punch.

I love a p-bass tone.

What's the plans for the tele? I have a paisley pattern Harley Benton that I threw EMG's in.

See a few familiar faces in and some new ones.

If you're not in this, you're missing out on an amazing weaving together of the historical & present social implications of eugenics, what that means for some of our favourite science fictions, & how we can do better.

(That said, I think you'll still be able to register & get the recording later.)

Amazon also needs to be nationalized but there needs to be an airgap between the gov and AWS, for sure.

He's a moron! We're giving over our entire society to a class of idiot grifters with more money than sense! They're all in cahoots with one another and want a world where there's nothing left for most of us to do but lie around catatonically as they hoard the riches of a dying planet! I say no!

How much more of all this are we supposed to take, genuinely?

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

make sure you talk to relatives about putting a necromancy clause into their wills.

I'm glad to see you alive.

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

All their actions point to degrees of complicity. Either with Trump directly or with other donors who enable their political careers.

i think it's cool that the German constitution has a written right to rebellion in the basic law

Why are stakes “too high” for the landlords but not for the renters?

- Is this code wrong because it was written by AI, or is it an honest mistake from an inexperienced human contributor?
- What do you do when you ask a PR author if they used AI because you're suspicious, and they all reply "yes I used it to write the PR description because I'm bad with English"?

We find ourselves having to second guess every PR from new contributors, multiple times per day:

- The description is verbose LLM output, is the code written at least partially by a human?
- Does the "author" understand the code they're sending?
- Did they test it? Are the test results made up?

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

The devastating floods citywide this week highlight the need for local government to focus on what matters. When street infrastructure upgrades are blocked and killed by a mayor and city council that answer to a NIMBY real estate lobby and not people, we all pay the price.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Magazine street.

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

The Epstein-Johnny Depp-Justin Baldoni connection These men shared some of the same crisis publicists and PR strategies.

These crisis PR strategies: building a pseudo-feminist narrative around an alleged predator, relying on access journalists, and turning to partisan influencer "news" sources over actual journalists when that fails, are consistent across each of these cases. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

Yeah, access to computers for everyone and AI (just like the crypto scams before it) blocks that by making parts more prohibitively expensive and by effectively monopolizing computing and engaging in predatory pricing against smaller businesses.

Innovation is done by individuals, not large corpos.

Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity”

Tesla dodges 30-day suspension in California after removing 'Autopilot' | TechCrunch The decision comes a month after Tesla discontinued Autopilot, its basic driver-assistance system.

"And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." #TeslaTakedown techcrunch.com/2026/02/17/t...

It's good that California brought this case. It's good that they forced Tesla to remove "autopilot" as a marketing term.

But if you let rich people break the law and the only consequence is "don't do it anymore," what lesson do you think that teaches everyone?

If you're rich, they let you do it.

This statement is too alienated from the actual creation and maintaining of LLM's to fit anywhere but the middle. It only looks at it from a first person end user perspective. It's like saying 'alcohol is genius because it gives me confidence' while ignoring all the adverse effects.
