Schrute Of Trust

If AI hurts us by atrophying our capacity for introspection, wouldn’t indoor plumbing hurt us in exactly the same way, by atrophying our capacity for squatting over a hole in the ground in the woods in the dark?

The discussions at #RealWorldCrypto about Post-Quantum Cryptography and certificate sizes be like

right wing propaganda depends on everyone pretending they're journalism

never overestimate the power of transformative technology in the hands of tyrants with vanishingly small imaginations

yeah little girls going to school is such a huge component of Iran's nuclear program

As usual, the value in cryptographic agility isn't ability to choose a different algorithm, it's the ability to reject and deprecate an old and insecure algorithm.

Republicans have had a lot more than 24 hours to decide where they stand on bigotry

If you took "sharia law" and removed the dietary restrictions Republicans would adopt it as their platform.

A: “Marley was dead to begin with.” B: “Marley was dead with which to begin.”

Special Military Sloperation

Fun fact! The word "euphemism" comes from UEFI because the ancient Greeks knew better than to reference it directly.

congragulation to kristi noem on her new role as interim ayatollah

I keep seeing reactions to LLM coding tools that harp on how it saves people from remembering where the semicolon me is or how to type curly braces. Buddy, if that was a skill you prided yourself in as a software developer, you needed to find a new line of work a long time ago

No one has more contempt for Republican voters than Republican politicians. You can get millions of working class votes for the project of wealth concentration by promising immiseration of your choice of the many ethnic or sexual minorities those voters hate

I realize if you believe in the rapture you’re not that smart to begin with but how do you not see Donald Trump as the anti-Christ?

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.

Tired: “Man-in-the-Middle” Wired: “Person-in-the-Middle” Inspired: “Interlocutor-in-the-Intermediacy”

Someone on here told me "stop anthropomorphizing Trump" and that has often been helpful

“‘Missed the joke’ is not an oppressed class” is a GREAT line, though.

Next time a republican tells me they are “pro life” I will scream

If you reply to a text from an organization with the words “FUCK OFF” and they send you another one they should have to pay you $2,000

If you have an IND-CCA2 scheme but you only want IND-CPA you can use the FAFO transform

I don't feel qualified to evaluate how well an opinion mirrors authentic originalism because I think originalism is already inauthentic. It's like asking me if THESE reiki crystals are REAL reiki crystals. Skip me with that bullshit and leave it for FedSoc's Chick-Fil-A bag lunches.

"This meeting could have been an email" This meeting would have been an email if you had responded to your email

oh yeah, you want to use a library? use distutils for that. actually use setuptools. try easy_install. just use pip. actually use pipenv. for C extensions just use apt-get. otherwise install poetry. just use hatch. or try mamba. instead, use anaconda, or conda. no, actually, install miniconda

Look, AI is the future, it doesn't matter that half the time it turns out to be a mechanical turk. It's like how smartphones were the future, but for most of their first decade of sales, half of all smartphones were just refurbished Gameboys that were painted black.

“If one can get a Nazi tattoo innocently, then Platner almost certainly did” You can’t, hope this helps

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Like a baby knowing you won’t actually do anything substantive about this

if i ever mention a detail about my job that doesn't match a detail i've previously mentioned it's because my memory makes a lot of mistakes. it's called oopsec

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.
