Yes the Cenk Uygur ad is antisemitic, yes it is transphobic, but it’s the *interaction effect* between the antisemitism and the transphobia that causes it to give off so many Hitler particles

my conclusion from trying to get claude to help me transcode my OTA DVR recordings is that i do not understand what the hell ATSC 1.0 is doing with all that bandwidth, because it’s certainly not “sending usable audiovisual content”.

sports fandom is about how we cope with the certainty of suffering

Tao of Stieb@taoofstieb.bsky.social

People will tell you that it is fun to be angry about sports. That it’s an outlet, and a way to let off steam. I’m telling you that sports anger isn’t a release valve. It’s a heaping shovel of coal into the furnace. If you are angry about sports, you’re probably angry about everything else.

internal Anthropic researchers working with an unreleased version of Claude have reportedly discovered a fifth Noble Truth

I get why people want the Indian Act abolished/replaced, and I get why the White Paper (1969) was unacceptable… What visions are out there for what we *should* do? I’m sure there’s plenty of disagreement, but what’s the landscape of the discussion?

It's not crazy. Data centers can be built anywhere. If one jurisdiction is run by Luddites, developers go to the next one. Location is commoditized this way, enabling economic growth. Rail has to go in specific places, which can extract surplus or even destroy it due to anti-development ideology.

It’s weird looking at a satellite view of this line… some of these curves are necessary to avoid existing high-rises or an ancient bell tower, but the giant loop around National Taipei University Sanxia Campus seems completely superfluous.

Luddites want Anthropic to fail because they hate AI. I want Anthropic to fail because they keep the most cutting edge cybersecurity tools to themselves and think user agency leads to “harms” We are not the same

Aleksandar Vucic, you are the weakest link. You have been eliminated. Goodbye.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

hooooo boy we don't like this no we don't > If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community. We cannot distinguish between AI-written and AI-translated. Since you don't speak English, you can't even verify yourself if it translated correctly. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

Dallas Brodie got absolutely turfed in a riding she won two years ago. There is no sustainable constituency for the hatemongers.

Seeing a lot of fear-mongering on my timeline tonight from trans folks and allies outside of B.C. Yes, this result is what it is. But this is not a “stockpile your HRT now” situation. And I think suggesting people do that is uneccessary and actively harmful to people who actually live here.

As a journalist, I’ve covered the anti-trans movement in Canada for almost a decade at this point. There’s a lot of room for change from here. My advice tonight is that we all slow down, take a big breath, and ready ourselves for the actual fights to come—and don’t panic over the imaginary ones.

One of tonight's story is a lot of former B.C. Liberal organizers who thought the party had become too conspiratorial minded or focused on their most passionate supporters took control of the party, told online influencers to pound sand and support One B.C. if they so dared, and were vindicated

Lorne Doerksen went from a nobody to BC’s Premier in a month, thanks to David Eby. He must be pinching himself right now. All we can do now is hope that the destruction of Dallas Brodie will signal to the BC Conservatives that persuing hateful and divisive actions will not get them re-elected.

Iain Black, interviewed on CBC at Conservative headquarters shortly after 9 PM, did not specifically mention gender identity among a list of other protected traits that do not deserve to be bullied. Not really sure how to read that. #bcpoli

I guess I feel like if we’re going to stop the next government from doing anything really damaging on trans issues, we’re going to need to win over the Howe Street crowd. Saying to their face that they’re all bigots with hatred in their hearts isn’t necessarily going to do what we want. #bcpoli
