tweety fish oh wow like a chimera or something spoooky

This seems like a good idea, really. So! "Tweety Fish" is my (auld) hacker handle; I am in the Cult of the Dead Cow. I have a PhD in vision science, I apply it to machine learning. I had a startup trying to make autonomous cars less bad for pedestrians (didn't work; they're bad) but now am free.

We get a subexponential time algorithm for 3SAT and apparently the models couldn’t even find one little cryptanalysis result. I guess cryptographers have just been killing it!

No ethical calculation under capitalism

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

and lo I have just seen somebody going all the way, on schedule. git 'r done

I am glad the vibes are putrid for Rs right now but I really, really need everyone to be skeptical of anything involving modeled votes.

oh man wait'll you read the rest of the ghost story this is the punchline to

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

perfect, no notes

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.

Shield laws made it possible for over 90,000 people in total-ban states across the US to receive abortion pills by mail in 2025. Our Monthly Abortion Provision Study shows telehealth abortion has been crucial to expanding access nationwide. More via @jamanetworkopen.com: https://gu.tt/4kin6Sd

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

never mind why I searched it but I just searched this site for the phrase "soup time" and it is one of the most wholesome things I've ever experienced bsky.app/search?q=sou...

My son was suspended from school for giving another student a "pigjob" and now we're all sitting around the empty dinner table as a family with our palms flat on the surface staring at nothing in particular in silence. It is understood none of us will ever ask what the word means.

i think. like ok if i ever fucked up so bad my eighth grade teacher posted up on a street corner to literally picket my behavior. i mean i would simply kill myself like that’s all there is to it

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

It’s a smart line because TCF’s decor is thinly-veiled “casino-core, casino buffet”, and there are few things Trump is more attuned and sensitive to

it’s nice that politico let you and your friends do a group project for school. some day you might be a real journalist 👍

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to laziness. As someone who spent a decade in political communications and corporate PR, the straight answer is that either she or her reps reached out to the NYT and offered to provide quotes. And lazy reporters gratefully accepted the offer.

a kinda interesting thing that The Files have shown is “the limits of corporate media’s control of information.” like, this stuff has been frozen out of the discourse of DC and political elites, and the national legislature and news coverage, but it’s still widely known and cared about.

It is interesting watching them try out all kinds of different stuff to try to stop everyone from getting mad. I swear, everyone getting really mad at a tech company really works. It’s one of the few things that does.

As far as I can tell, the first thing anyone uses an AI for in Neuromancer is summarizing a bunch of documents no one wants to read. Prescient as always!

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

I would pick this up but then I'd also need to get a midcentury house with lots of glass on a hillside in marin and a pair of 12' tall electrostatic speakers and, you know, where does it end

I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

This undersells how hard the Judiciary Dems are swinging here
