The #1 thing that blows my mind about how most people use LLMs: they believe if they ask the LLM a question about how it works or how accurate it is, the LLM will truthfully answer them.

I have seen SO many seemingly-smart people do this.

172. "Federalizing" D.C. Like any federal enclave, the federal government has plenary power over the District of Columbia. But Congress has delegated most of that power to local officials; it would take new laws to undo that.

This is the tricky part. For better or worse (I'd argue for worse), Trump actually has some legal footing here that he wouldn't have to pull either of these stunts in any other city. But if we get acclimated to the President doing this anywhere, we get desensitized to him trying to do it everywhere.

I want to dunk on this person so bad but I can’t because they didn’t even write it themselves

Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about

i can’t tell if it’s the mac beta or something else (like the onedrive app that i recently installed) but something is causing my macbook pro to just stay warm a lot of the time. weird.

Reality is indistinguishable from satire

A colossal, loadbearing “if”

One of the men I wrote about is a dissident who fled Cuba under threat from the communist government. He entered the U.S. legally, obtained work authorization, married a citizen, and has no criminal record. Yet the government is trying to deport him anyway. Sorry, that’s evil.

A fun thought experiment: is it technically a bribe if the thing they’re getting in exchange is relief from something that isn’t legal and therefore should be unenforceable anyway?

Questions we probably shouldn’t have to think up because none of this should happen.

extremely cool and fast and easy

I did a 17 minute workout today that only gave me one minute toward my Apple Watch exercise goal. What on earth is going on with this beta? What changes did they make that have made it so bad at tracking things now?

The worst people you know think these things have consciousness

If you open the camera from the lock screen on iOS 26, and then you open a video from the camera roll, then turn your phone to landscape, the play button on the video will be underneath the dynamic island. You can’t press it.

Feels like Trump is desperately trying to crash the economy and the stock market is desperately trying to ignore him.

nah i’m just in a meeting

bluesky can’t recognize a joke, exhibit 9999999999999999

hey i’m not the one who lacks basic critical think skills here

yeah that’s the point dummy, he’s being sarcastic

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

Social engineering, classic.

really tired of all the churn in the streaming app industry. stop killing perfectly good apps that i use and smushing them into other apps and renaming them.

well, there goes apple’s customer satisfaction for support.

i’ve been walking around for like 15 minutes and my watch hasn’t detected a single minute of stand time. This beta sucks.

they started changing these icons in the previous beta and they freaking suck now

I don’t remember for sure, but I think a bunch of menu bar items used to have a dark glassy appearance and now they don’t.

just got the new mac beta installed and one thing i find really odd is that they still haven’t reverted the horrible change away from the good system preferences app.

new apple music splash. i also noticed there’s a new “game mode overlay” popup banner that shows when opening games. game center welcome banners are now white instead of transparent.

now it is, finally
