is this a (tasteless) joke?

I’m assuming it’s because it’s quite a few years old?

It's even funnier if you read the full bug report

"A dwarf who is stressed but does not gain a good thought from shouting at someone in charge seems to prioritize shouting at someone in charge over any other activities."

but isn’t that a safety risk, so other airplanes can’t see where they are and avoid them?

yeah, they should keep saying no. I’m pretty sure that Anthropic would win that game of Chicken

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

this is probably the worst excuse i’ve seen!

about 200 apparently?

oh wow, i hadn’t realized that they actually considered corporate campaign sponsorship as first amendment protected speech!

I guess that if the senate wants to overturn that decision, they’d have to change the constitution to clarify that no, corporations aren’t people and money is not speech.

How are super PACs still legal? They’re basically an industrial exploitation of a legal loophole in anti-corruption/transparency laws. They’re pretty explicit about specifically being constructed for circumventing the law

“Every accusation is a confession”

in this case i guess it’s slightly more subtle, since the accusation isn’t explicit, but the subtext isn’t exactly subtle either

they’re not actually arguments. they’re just performing something intended to att a shallow look seems like an argument for their case. the actual contents nor validity of the “arguments” are not relevant, just that they are shaped like arguments, so they can “win”.

kinda like how AI chatbots work

thanks! was already aware of that, but even better in this case: just don’t look past the linked post itself at all. then you can avoid all the toxicity that is x

from this perspective, it’s kinda an advantage that twitter doesn’t let logged out users see replies anymore

i always thought that was the goal of disruption: to destroy/ruin the thing, not to actually outcompete it. like, disruption in a literal sense is a negative term, but silicone valley keeps bragging about it regardless

i don’t see the word ”prevention” anywhere in his title?

but often, one person screwing up shouldn’t be sufficient, as that means too few eyes were on the problem, so even those can be systemic issues. but i guess in this case, the impact was small (other than reputationally), so it is fine if one person can screw it up alone

have you tried using vector embedding based semantic search as well? it’s likely something that commercial search engines use (even before LLMs) and it’s pretty similar to this idea

i'm too sleepy to go to sleep

i’m assuming they vibe-coded it? that would explain the quality

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

my piano has a keyboard on it. is it a computer?

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

you could also donate this to someone as a passive aggressive way to tell them that they should concede

But did Canada make a banger video promoting it like they did for the 2009 law? youtu.be/rlZnhZscw90?...

i’ve never heard that word before, so i’m not completely sure what it means

this is the way i’ve been counting on my fingers ever since i first heard of it a few years ago. it’s so easy and convenient and allows counting to 100 without any thinking (unlike e.g. binary)
