Didn’t know that; now I’m glad I never actually got around to buying this one. : P

I feel like the thing about AI is that it can produce a large volume of mediocre-quality work quickly, and that *feels* really productive when you do it.

Yep, SLOC/hour is a countable bean even though it’s a relatively small part of the job

Hence vibe coders thinking they’re 50% more productive when they’re actually 20% less productive.

The White Base can suddenly be in orbit again every time it has to fire its point defense guns if you’re brave enough

Looks like it’s the OG series and a handful of the spinoffs, notably not including Z or ZZ Gundam

Mobile Suit Gundam Full Episodes - YouTube

YouTube has the dubs of the whole series, and it’s decent enough

This is a standard line of attack on climate science, too

We’ve all figured thsi out right?

The twist is that they’re actually the sinestro corps, that’s why the suit looks so yellow in that shot

I don’t know who were making fun of here and that speaks to the depth of the problem

Of course he thinks this sounds tough, he’s 12.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Yeah, I’m sure it cost two acorns to make and they could reliably shit out another one every 9 months

I find it baffling that, just from a purely cynical standpoint, they don’t just adopt the default position of “if Trump does it, it’s bad.” They’ll be right 98% of the time and attacking your opponent weakens them

Iirc The Orville’s backstory is that McFarlane is a huge Trek fan and wanted to do a straight Trek show but had to pitch it as a comedy because he’s a Comedy Guy, so the end result is “TNG with occasional dick jokes”

AI BOOSTER BINGO The squares read: I might get attacked for saying this Imagine what it'll do in 5 years Al critics are just afraid Al is better than you Everyone is doing it "Levels the playing Field" Your time will be spent on work that MATTERS Your time will be spent correcting the Al's errors MORE VOLUME!! Shit outputs? Switch to [alternate LLM] Yes jobs will be cut... Humans aren't perfect either It's FUN!!! No practical advice "Sorry bluesky" Solution to chronic underfunding What if it could cure cancer??? I made something that appears passable No need for pesky underlings Is it accurate? No. But... Framing human work as "bespoke, hand-crafted" Get with it or get left behind!!!

I made a bingo card

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Refresh my memory, was this a ‘the first one was tolerable and then they fell off a cliff’ series or a ‘this has always been garbage’ series

It unironically kind of annoys me when people show the ‘US Street Fighter cartoon vs anime Street Fighter movie’ clips because come on, TV budget vs movie budget, this is not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Who could possibly have guessed that “logistics are gay” would be a bad position for the guy running the military to hold

Shoulda stopped at 3 and let the series hibernate for a while, maybe done a hard reboot.

I dunno if Scream is a series that really had strong enough bones to be a forever franchise? The first three stuck the landing decently well but I feel like the core conceit has worn pretty thing at this point, there’s only so many directions you can take it before it gets tired.

That person you want to be, what would they be doing?

It’s awesome who we never reached herd immunity levels of vaccination to Covid because the worlds oldest toddler decided that admitting it was a problem made him look bad. Just fantastic.

How I arrived on Bluesky

Trans women are attacked for being "feminine boys" before transition and then scolded for not being feminine boys after transition, and yes, usually by the exact same people. There is no reason behind transphobia or homophobia, only raw, stupid malice.
