Can Trump just come out as bi already? It won't fix anything, but I think it would be good for our collective psyche.

weird thing i have tried to describe before where LLM mistakes are simply inhuman. like they are entire types of mistakes that were unfathomable previously, literally could not have been made because the specific mix of competence and stupidity necessary was impossible

I hate comparing Dragon's Dogma to Elden Ring but Dark Arisen being kinda the same basic relative size as Erdtree (1/3rd the base game physically but also super vertical) is a pretty interesting bar that I like. "Expansion packs" are back.

nine hundred kids man. nine hundred kids.

We gotta kill the “this is just an asset flip” narrative Ex: Final Fantasy 13, 13-2, & LR If you liked the first game’s combat, good news, 13-2 and LR are just that but a little refined each time. If you liked its story: good news, it’s more of that story.

should've been a Bioware every year. a Bioware Western. a Bioware Gothic horror. a Bioware starring fellow Edmontonians Bob and Doug McKenzie.

Trying to impeach Trump on day one will fail and make Dems look like Trump-obsessed one trick ponies. But cabinet impeachments should start immediately. File articles against Hegseth at 1PM, dude will resign by dinner.

YOOOOOOOOO HOLY SHIT

The president has raped so many people that we have a pretty good sense of his MO. Maybe we should think about that.

wtf i want to go to the e/acc ketamine snorting beanbag chair party

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

absolutely incredible bait

it is extremely related to our current political situation!

- one where the nature of collaboration changes, possibly to include the opinions (and efforts) of non-coders (iff we figure it out before proprietary software does) - one where we have a Big Bad Guy again (which wasn't always fun but was motivating as hell; also the Bad Guys are even worse now) 🧵

Basically the whole foreign policy team needs to be purged and many of them need to be locked up. It leaves us with a somewhat thin bench, but fortunately we can raid the stock of laid-off international aid and development staffers.

The scandal heard around the world.

if i'd gotten this tip my pitch would have 100% included trying to social engineer my way into this gym, because let's face it this story needs video.

Love the mental image of a mathematician spending thirty years on a problem, only for a robot to wander in, produce a 900-page Lean proof, and then immediately go back to helping someone write erotic vampire fiction.

Boring Third Way types: "We need the McCain-Romney Republicans!" The McCain-Romney Republicans:

You too will become left-wing tech libertarians

We're very lucky that the Dengists are giving us this imo

No need to pour cold water on some fairly effective evangelization. She's also just... right? Closed labs want to capture the ability to perform all human knowledge work, lock it in a box, and defend it with the US government's missiles. They don't claim otherwise

Literally enlisting people in using growth hacking tactics *against* the networks themselves. I don't know that this is replicable, I don't know how this changes down the line against an adversary who might be even more brazen in their interference, but it worked this time.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

sounds like they, and they specifically, should be stopping to prove their good faith

Maturing as a software engineer doesn’t mean writing fewer Horrors, it means knowing when to write A Horror and how to construct the proper containment zone around it

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Me in 2000s: "Player Piano is absolutely Vonnegut's worst novel. The idea that the capitalist class would steal the skills of their workers with a machine, cutting costs by replacing them with substandard labour, the technology will never exist." TWENTY YEARS LATER Me: "Well this is fucked up."

I'm never going to replace my circa 2008 dumb TV.

I think the overwhelming lesson of this decade in democracies is you need to actually take these people out if you want anything to change

tired: AI is sentient wired: time is sentient

this would've prevented Brexit 100%

Ok so maybe crushing fascist coupers and sending them to jail for their crimes does work.

my mom's house was bought at a substantial discount because the owners were convinced Jesus would come back in 2000 and were in a rush to sell everything to move out to some compound to await his return I sometimes wonder what happened to them

Rogue One is a good Star Wars movie almost entirely bc they consistently nail the costuming & the collage of cinema tropes that make a Star War

oh that's the good stuff

it's the year of the linux desktop

This dude is a YouTuber We were doing just fine without YouTube, which has been used to spread horrible stuff like propaganda, scams, and Ethan Klein. Let’s go back, I guess

She's gone thermonuclear, folks
