this is probably the most Australian court ruling ever: a prisoner argued he was denied his cultural rights as an Australian to consume Vegemite, while in gaol. www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/view...

when i was in school, "revising a draft to make it yours" was called plagiariasm

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Hm I wonder who these "Cohere" people are and what they— "Cohere specializes in[...]AI products for regulated industries" Ah. Yeah I'm sure there's no conflict of interest there. Wait what the fuck do you mean they DELIBERATELY PREFILLED A CURL BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT OTHERWISE LMAO???

to prove my point: same PR size, very different verbosity. 10k PRs, Sep 2025-Oct 2026: p50 pr size ~100-250 lines, but humans write ~100 words of description (P90 266) and Opus 5 wrote ~280 words (P90 ~1,000). Opus 5.5 is much shorter and improved at ~218 words (P90 476). We won't miss the windbag.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

If you can make AI do more of the effort of writing the actual lines of code, that gives you more time to think about whether that code is the code you should be writing, and less attachment to the code if it turns out ripping it out and redoing it is the right answer.

And......there it is.

As someone who covered Robodebt in part, it's clear nothing has really changed. Worse: the politics of federal Labor on social security are baffling. We keep hearing about how people have "lost trust in institutions". Wiping these debts seem a simple answer to help. Instead, they rewrote the rules.

Some seem upset that our team didn't post the fully developed and weaponized worm. We will not.

congrats on going viral @ewindisch.ontological.observer

Didn't this person end WFH at Yahoo while building a nursery into her office there? (Yes.)

yes pro-bolsonaro areas reported first in R1 and are largely doing the same now, and mostly-completed areas are showing results left of the first round it’s not over but from what I gather it looks quite good

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Just her mere presence working in a hospital – not her even actually treating anyone – is a crime worthy of reporting on the other side of the world. Reasonable concerns.

Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

well, fuck :(

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

They're just going to keep trying endless bad faith fuckery and the legal system very much isn't equipped for "DOJ are operating entirely in bad faith"

chat, is this good?

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

ICE seems to think writing “that mission” instead of “that plane” magically absolves them of perjury, but the judge was asking about the plane’s availability. It was available. There is no difference between a deport and a TCR flight. Both happen on the same plane all the time.

wow, JKR & HBO must be scared shitless about the backlash to the new HP series. I can't wait to cancel my HBO subscription on December 1st – you should too!
