If I were a fan of a show called Everyone But One Punch Man then I'm sure I would have enjoyed Season 3 of that show.

I love thinking the word "depolarisation" and then imagining the scintillating cascade of the same that results from doing so.

If this is your ideal future too we should hang out.

I've just now learned that Greene is resigning and it fills my heart with joy. Let us hope a similarly despicable and uncouth character never again enters public service.

In Canada it was a No Tyrants protest because many of us quite like our king. And frankly if Trump acted a lot more like Charles things wouldn't be nearly as bad.

Funny how Figure robots look more and more like 1x robots every day

If you or a loved one is taken by ICE, you can call the National Lawyers Guild federal repression hotline at 212-679-2811, for a free, privileged consultation about your rights, risks, & responsibilities, & to be connected with appropriate legal resources in your jurisdiction. PLEASE SHARE THIS

I'm looking for a dataset of non-stolen videos of good quality taken in many different contexts, with a license that allows academic use. Something like the MIT Moments In Time dataset but... ethical. No annotations needed. Any leads?

I want an AI voice mode that sounds like Stephen Fry, is that so much to ask?

Imagine you had to purchase a MacBook to use an iPhone. This is how I feel about being required to own an iPhone if I want to use an Apple watch. Infuriating walled garden BS.

Let it not be said that a stopped clock is not right twice day. I support renaming the DoD to the DoW.

Anyone here involved in pixel art video games? Nano-banana & Veo3 are now good enough to create and animate assets (with a little glue code). We've crossed a bright line and I kinda want to talk to someone about it.

If your state hasn't done this yet, call your governor's office as well as top public health official in your state, and request that they do this. If enough people start calling, they will hear us loud and clear!

This is not *at all* what I intended to generate with Veo3, but it's actually pretty cute and satisfying to watch, so here you go!

@maggieastor.bsky.social Unconscionably weak writing on the CVS crisis. People will die or be crippled because of an anti-science faction taking over the CDC. Say this! Point out each and every time that this is a concerted attack on science and good medicine!

@riggaroo.dev Holy crap Google is making a mistake trying to get developers to register to develop apps to sideload. Please send as many internal emails as you can expressing how awful an idea this is. I don't ask permission to put code anyone can run on Github, Google doesn't get to make me ask it!

@tornorbye.bsky.social Hi! Please tell your boss, coworkers, anyone who will listen how much we hate the idea of registering to develop apps to sideload. These are *our* devices. We hate this idea SO much. And telling us it's for "security?" Tell them to GFYS!

@sanbeiji.com Hi! Please tell your bosses how much we hate the idea of registering to sideload. We hate it a lot! Bucketfuls of hate! It's a truly awful policy. And cloaking it in a transparent veil of "security." We hate that even more! Seriously, WTF?

Newsom is so deeply fake and unappealing as an individual *of course* the Democrats will run him in 2028. He's a tall haircut and that's about it.

Every visit to the vet feels like a betrayal 🙁

"[T]he justices making up the current Supreme Court majority have shown hostility toward sound legal reasoning" Now *that* is solid rhetoric. Appropriately insulting, accurate, and implying that the court will change.

"Can you wipe the avocado off his forehead?" Not a sentence I ever expected to hear, but that's #parentlife

In a sane world, this would hurt Tesla's stock. In this one Musk will immediately become a trillionaire and receive a preemptive pardon from Trump for anything he chooses to do in the future.

"The necessity of collecting facts, and of trying experiments, was at length perceived, and in all sciences, this mode has lately prevailed" - Maria Edgeworth 1798. I highly recommend a dose of Enlightenment era writers if one needs intellectual refreshment.

Life Pro Tip: Give up on software, move to Pittsburgh and be a handyman. Charge $125 / hour. No shortage of work and you can pick and choose which projects you want to work on and when you want to work. Highly resilient to AI!

Does anyone have a good workflow for vibe coding android apps that doesn't involve the ADK or sideloading? I want a meta app that I can push small apps into without any of the Android nonsense.

Dear everyone, please stop using Claude so I can use Claude. Thanks!

The fact that my scheduled Gemini search for three positive stories isn't working tells you everything you need to know about how my evening has gone.

I haven't found a ton of great uses for Gemini scheduled actions, but I *did* ask it to find and show me three pieces of good news every night (just before I go to bed) and it's pretty great. e.g. Record sea turtle nests! www.chron.com/life/wildlif...

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Claude created an app for me today faster than Gemini or o3 could complete deep research to find existing apps. If you have an infant and want to track when the last time you gave them an allergen here you go: github.com/iandanforth/...

This is both appropriate and warranted. Reviewing orgs that rely on such easily hacked AI deserve these papers, and authors who want to game their way into venues deserve to be published in those that fall for it.

Social Security Administration email list is now being used for propaganda. Disgusting, but not unexpected from an a budding dictatorship.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Anyone have a link to a copy of this? I'd really like to read it.

I wanted to share a cause that's really close to my heart. Crystal, a dedicated advocate for climate resilience, is facing tough times battling #LongCovid and now #breastcancer www.gofundme.com/f/climate-wa...
