And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

My dad sent me this

Zohran Mamdani is so scary because he is planting the idea that you can tax billionaires and use the money to help people instead of debating what services to cut to pay for tax cuts. Which is literally why the US government is currently shut down.

He is destroying decades of political messaging.

I am out in nature and on a farm.

A bug just flew right at me and hit me in the face

I just can’t get away from software it seems

I do worry that this could change *very* quickly, and when it does, we'll be caught unprepared. It feels like Internet security in the early 1990's, where security folks were spending half our time yelling that this will be a problem someday. Then at some point, that day came.

What, not RV64?

Pretty sure he couldn't land it.

Are you me? Cause I'm there too.

Hold a press conference. Get noisy. Lead a voter drive. I honestly don't know; so many potential options. But I'll bet cookies to cake they cave and vote for the R's budget plan instead.

You're bringing a policy issue to a dictator fight.

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

The weird thing to me is that it feels like LLMs just kinda automate generating code which is often the easiest part.

Eh...I mean, yes, but I'm sure a lot of them get some pretty weird email. I guess that may make their day in another way. :-/

I'd say that if it's hitting a fan you've definitely got a problem you should look into with a qualified medical professional, sex or no sex.

Putting it on a logarithmic scale is an improvement. But by itself it lacks too much context.

It's also how it's said. Too often the talking heads will say, "this costs One Hundred MILLION Dollars!" "Wow, Ted, that's a lot of money!" "It IS a lot of money, Sue!" Sure, it's a lot of money to me, Ted and Sue, but over 10 years is a fraction of 1% of the budget for $foo.

I had this exact same thought yesterday. We ought to report the number and then fraction of X (as a percentage).

Obsessed with this photo of Mr. Rogers that looks almost exactly like The Onion sickos guy.

Impressive!

Seriously ... Where are the Ea-Nasir parodies?

Unacceptable.

*golf clap* well played, sir. Well played.

You don't wash your hands before you eat as a matter of course? Bruh....

(Ok, maybe I'm a little scarred from fighting this battle with my 8 y/o every single day.)

I'd go further and say that it's a tool that, at the moment, is most effective in the hands of experts, and that, depending on the application domain, it can often lead non-experts astray.
