My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

Americans: Locking up tourists, threatening allies with invasion, insulting friends at every opportunity, cozying up to their enemies Also Americans: Why do fewer people want to visit us? It's so weird, how could this possibly happen

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Found a bug in PerfectTablePlan that has probably been there for 15 years and has never been reported. There is a relatively easy workaround, so I guess no-one bothered to email me.

Strange isn't it that there are all those calls from right-wing influencers and libertarians on sm for Ukraine to hold elections in the middle of a war... but absolutely no calls for free and fair and transparent elections from the same people in the Russian dictatorship. Which is also at war.

Thinking about Ukraine today. I just saw some images from Bucha and it really brings home what the consequences of defeat could be for Ukrainians. Tough to see, and unimaginable to live through.

If you think LLMs are conscious, the only explanation for them inserting "vegetative electron microscopy" into papers is that they are trying to mess with us.

People will say it's "Tech Week" here in NYC. Well, any event run by Andreessen Horowitz is illegitimate, because the NYC tech community has values, and one of its most fundamental is its humanity. They have forfeited theirs.
