A tweet from @ futurevictim_ that reads "the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said "those horses are praying to mecca" and my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard"

"just don't use Al" is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they're pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn't.

maybe it does actually do something unique and novel from every other open source vmm in existence that makes it worth 243 points on hn. but alas we will never know because even microsoft didnt consider it worth explaining that

Note for chatters: it’s probably extremely bad when a senator on the select committee on intelligence releases, to the public, notice that he’s upset about a covert action that he cannot legally name! Not great!

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

One error in this article: Walmart *does* sell SuperBoxes! They don't sell them directly, but they host third-party sellers and orders are fulfilled by Walmart.

Consumers are absolutely confused by this and believe that the devices are trustworthy because "I bought it at Walmart."

Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.
