The clock is ten minutes off, smh so much for apple intelligence

Where it previously said “ULTRA MAGA EDITION” (as if it was a truck brand or whatever) it now just has adhesive residue. One thing at a time

Neighbor removed the MAGA sticker from his truck, I’ll take the positive indicators where I can get them

Memo to republicans in Congress: this will be you next unless you impeach and remove this would-be dictator now while you still have the chance

It’s coming on the heels of crypto and the metaverse and the crypto metaverse, which doesn’t help.

If you view these articles as “a response to everything that comes out of Sam Altman’s mouth,” I think it seems more reasonable.

That said the negative polarization is real. It’s just the the positive hype is also dramatically polarized.

AI: it’s neat! won’t take off as a slogan.

I was a 3.5mm stereo maximalist for a long time and even I now hail our USB-C overlords. Basically I think it was the correct call but only because of the grace of European regulators

The peanut gallery behind them on the left is ripe for captioning

Hopefully insurance companies will be pushing the guidance that will save them the most money (eg, encouraging easy shots)

All the best aerospace designs have threaded fasteners placed every 1/2 inch

That also works for me

Or were you talking about the AI generated receipt when you obliquely asked her to not use the tools of fascism

The ecosystem is providing amazing content though. I think this person is talking about actblue? bsky.app/profile/dust...

We still havent had our tom hanks has covid moment with ice

Is there any movement to have this function fulfilled by government?

USPTO certainly has its flaws but they were happy to send me, with relevant sections highlighted, the Chinese patent which turned out to be prior art for using a piezo to measure the activity of a caged bird, it took <6 months.

Lmao at “high security compound,” which I assume means “a fence higher than what my suburban US town would permit me to have”

I don’t worry about this too much because [redacted] and [redacted] and [redacted] have been possible for a high schooler to make since Radio Shack started selling RC cars for $20 and it just thankfully never materialized

No reason to think why not. There’s a bit of a learning curve ime where you’re like oh the bend radius actually matters with fiber optic cables.

But the interface components are all on digikey afaik, and I don’t think people even say “photonics” any more about basic signal lines

Very funny how much that image looks like an Onion photo

I think you’ve got to view it through the lens of gambling addiction tbh.

It’s not “I learned my lesson, won’t do that again” it’s “I learned my lesson, now I know how to do it properly.”

Shades of youtu.be/FJdzqg7REdU?...

We have this today, the House of Netflix, the Guild of Hulu etc

Yeah I think the history here, both distant and recent, pushes for some form of UBI and/or artist basic income (…. & affordable housing and workspaces) which would then naturally enable these artistic spaces we want.

Idk I’ve dabbled in support work for local theater and it’s always seemed like a hack for third-space community building first, a way to provide some amount of financial compensation for artists second, and “producing quality art that lasts the test of time” being somewhat further down the list

Can you say more on this

That… seems like a lot for people with a patreon, though. Finding the same volume of customers for your paintings / handmade purses / felt representations of people’s dogs is going to be much harder at a once-a-week farmers market

I mean it's literally the stuff of 1000 sci-fi stories where scientists discover an alien species or whatever and then The Big Evil Corporation comes in and says "okay whatever, scientific breakthrough yadda yadda, but how can we sell them? Maybe food? Maybe weapons?" That's what's happening

Germany is nice because there are no bankers.
