Das Attentat auf Charlie Kirk ist vorbehaltlos zu verurteilen. Es ist tragisch und verbrecherisch. Aber bitte nennt Kirk nicht einen "Rechtskonservativen". Er war ein rechtsextremer, radikalreligiรถser Verschwรถrungstheoretiker, der gegen Minderheiten gehetzt hat. Daran รคndert sein Tod nichts.

โ€˜It's Just a Mess:' 23 People Explain How Tariffs Have Suddenly Ruined Their Hobby "The real kick in the teeth is no matter how much manufacturing is brought back to the US these items will never be made in the USA. There is no upside."

Itโ€™s killing hobbies and also small-scale ways of making extra cash that arenโ€™t businesses, per se. We spend a lot of time in my household talking about how Discogs is dead and no one can use their little record flipping side gig to supplement their income anymore

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’–

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

I wrote this in 2014 before the rise of transformers-based AI. I was working IT and seeing these proclamation of a future where people didn't understand computers.

But we already don't. Our deepest attempts at programming are preempted by branch prediction, OoOE, power+therms, speculative exec, etc

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages donโ€™t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!"

Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc.

They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off
