What gets me here is that this is well trod ground in the infosec community. We've been talking about CVD for decades! Wade Baker has one of my favorite takes on this: archive.is/C8ojW

Vulgar Rawlsianism? Oh you mean Marxism.

I think an alternate, equally slimy but less concerning to privacy scenario, is that OpenAI got wind of the proof and the approach and threw infinite tokens at Astra or other internal model asking it to solve it first.

my priors got challenged in january of this year. i was firmly on the side that most of this website was on in december of 2025.

I am choosing to believe this site is having reliability problems right now because Minnesotans posting about the State Fair are crashing it and you cannot tell me otherwise

These ratio outcome variables are a plague in the sciences. If your analysis treats 1/2 and 10/20 as the same evidence, then you have discarded uncertainty in the outcome. Model what you measure, not what you construct. Use the denominator as an exposure instead.

that’s fucking right

A global celebration of Seven Nation Army is yet another example of American cultural superiority

What's wild about all these pictures and videos is that I've been to the National Mall on sweltering weekdays in the summer and it's always busy. Tons of families and tour groups. People must be actively avoiding this.

I've seen this dozens of times, but love it every time. Especially the camera work where they keep the view of the baker's dozen goalies out of frame until they get into the box is incredible.

Visceral memories of this album. I had saved it for a few days when I knew I had a drive to listen to it all through. Just stunning. The whole catalog is amazing and this was a crowning achievement. Though of course I wish it wasn't.

THERE WAS A "FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE" VIDEO GAME?!?!?!

Hey twin cities, perfect day to burp your house.

I clearly do not post enough. I also reject the label that indicates I build anything with Crypto. I do not fuck with that.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Just put me on a flaming raft and push it out to sea.

Hunt for Red October.

Shoulda been the national bird.

I wish these were real because I could just send them in response to meeting invites or slack questions.

Guys, it’s fine. It’s probably DNS. Or BGP. Or us-east-1 Frankly, the entire Internet is made of duct tape and popsicle sticks held together by bubble gum and string and it’s amazing that anything ever works at all

Right, a single video of a single protester frustratedly kicking an inanimate object was sufficient to muddy the narrative some. Imagine what would happen if protesters adopted violence more broadly? Would it benefit us? It’s the incredible restraint of our heroic observers that helps us win.

I'm gonna get roasted, but ice cream. I only want like two bites of my wife's. I never want a whole thing.

One of the many things that must suck about being an ICE agent is having all the coolest bands from your teenage years correctly calling you a Nazi.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Apparently this is a new account that just posts the coolest people in the Twin Cities.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Like a full half of MN households just have this shit on hand. Probably 90% of households with kids who do winter sports. The other 10% just didn't get to Costco this weekend

Hero.

Anyone who starts a fire is working for ICE whether they know it or not.

Stancil for Governor

Chronologically (I think), but not completely Stone Temple Pilots The Weakerthans Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band Calexico Frightened Rabbit

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Read it.

Every fictional universe is incomplete or inconsistent

no greenlander ever called me a libtard

I think it's very fitting that the Revolutionary HQ of Minneapolis is a sex shop (that DOES NOT have a glory hole) and Revolutionary HQ of Saint Paul is a toy store where you can get Settlers of Catan.

Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

Post a car picture you took
