I've been meaning to get around to posting the full details, so what the hell - why not get it out while it's still Vuln Week: Anthropic's mech interp driven security model is built on a fundamentally incorrect assumptions. Let's dive in, starting with this paper: www.anthropic.com/research/nex...

Idiot cranks. It’s over foreign policy shit too.

You can’t understate the fact that the New Deal/Great Society economic model produced stagflation. This real failure was used to attack social welfare as a whole by its ideological enemies. In terms of political economy, it should be clear why voters generally prioritize growth over equality.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Cenk and to lesser degree Piker have done everything possible to wreck this campaign for El Sayed

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

Three moments broke Trump 2.0: 1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech. 2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights. 3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.

The CIA has to stop the Brazil Supreme Court

My immediate concern here is that the Trump administration will back this likely effort to attempt a coup, rhetorically if not materially. It would hardly be the first shameful thing the United States has down to our neighbors to the south, but it would be a very shameful thing indeed.

I mean, this is what always makes this conversation so frustrating, people use will "woke" to refer to anything present in society or culture from like 2015 to 2024 and then insist on discussing it like it was an organization or a movement.

intelligence is knowing that if i ever looked up anything about Magyar, Lula, or any of the other election winners i would probably not be great fans of their politics wisdom is knowing it doesn't matter because defeating the global chud coalition is all that matters for the foreseeable future

"I'm a single issue voter and my issue is the Bedlam The Brain Blast Initiative"

James Hudson is extremely bad at his job Once again - Puck is the only really competent member of Alpha Flight

The thing about this is that Trump's 2024 victory was always built on irreconcilable messages that were going to collapse once he actually had to govern. Deport everyone, but also deport only the "criminals"; no more wars, but also more belligerent, more isolationist, but also more pro-Israel.

checking in on the president of the united states

Donald had better not try some stupid black ops crap for the fascist dipshit in Brazil.

turns out that voting is a very good way to kick right wing authoritarians out of power

The USA’s failure to punish Trump for Jan 6th was just an historic betrayal of global democracy. What a shameful, abject and total failure of institutions and civil society.

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

ok its actually an extremely funny bit that r/opensource just banned discussion of linux

Yeah I've had people scoffing in groupchats about it being consent manufacturing as if supply chain vulnerabilities haven't been made extremely fucking clear

A large number of National Bodies (country-specific standards orgs participating in WG21 at ISO) abstained or voted against approving C++26. NBs vote as units for the approval of a complete draft standard. The main sticking point is about contracts.

Own a Tomahawk for anti-shipping, since that's what Admiral Zumwalt intended. Four Soviets break into my AO. "What the devil?" As I grab my combination cap and RGM-109B TASM. Blow a Dodge D-series sized hole through the first cruiser, he's dead on the spot.

The political situation has developed not necessarily to our advantage.

i think this website has "Democrats" and "the New York Times" mixed up

we are coming for you adam, not because of your politics but because you're a disgrace to the uniform who could've stayed under the radar if you'd just shut your fucking mouth for two seconds

DC Bluesky Happy Hour/meetup, sign up here! if you sign up this way and opt for it, i will print your PFP and i will bring a button press so that we can make and wear buttons of our PFPs which may help with the "who are these people who i only know from the Internet" problem

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

On the one hand, it's frustrating to have conservative ideology like this inside the tent. On the other hand, that's what a popular front against fascism looks like.

Abandoned cordons sanitaire everywhere you look:

I don’t see how we can recover our republic without this man seeing the inside of a prison cell

Sure is weird how "encroaching on Russia's sphere of influence" is an example of horseshoe theory, nothing strange going on there

Not only do we need to take a hatchet to DHS, we really got to sort out the IC again

"We need to invade Greenland because the Greenlanders might let Russians have a stake in Arctic Infrastructure which is why we are letting the Russians have a large stake in Alaskan gas Infrastructure"

The real Gulf War syndrome is thinking armored operations are supposed to be these perfectly clean Desert Storm formations and not mass casualty Fulda Gap ops against a peer.

ok no you see this is how you end up at "Rich Hickey had a point" and that's not where you want to be as a rustacean

it's just unreal how much the astral and pydantic ecosystems have made Python genuinely kind of good??? astral.sh/blog/uv-ty-i...
