i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal
Por el amor de Dios, if you’re going to use ballplayer Enrique Hernández’s nickname*, could you at least put the accent on the end that makes it not a slur? * I still say it’s partly his fault for choosing to spell it like that, when my entire life, including in my own family, it’s been “Quique.”

Trend I'd noticed before and forgotten, good to remind people: there are *dozens* of fake accounts for every prominent Palestinian journalist, and many of these are devoted to following horrifically bigoted accounts. Do a sanity check when you see a Nazi followed by a famous Palestinian journalist.
Fuck their stock prices? I hope your investment properties burn to the ground, the children are Maoists read the goddamn room
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d agoThe tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.
No somos conscientes de la cantidad de bulos y la enorme campaña de propaganda que está lanzando a nivel global la extrema derecha con el asunto de Ceuta. Aquí, el basura de Alex Jones diciendo que vienen en tren desde Ceuta a conquistar Europa (es una estación de Marruecos).

One of the great People’s Scholars, and writer of the definitive book on the Young Lords. Her class on race and empire (offered for free with a radical bookstore) introduced me to thinkers who changed how I saw the world. What a devastating loss

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2w ago13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.
Damn so immigrants have always been better than "heritage Americans" at getting the job done, huh?

Our descendants will spend *generations* digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage. eof/
That is why some individual coders report such delight with their AI tools. They engage with those tools on their own terms, to improve their work in the ways that they, in their expert judgment, consider beneficial. 75/
Model-Based Testing says hello. These tools really encourage you to polish your turds rather than flush them, it'll never tell you this or that was a dumb idea and you should take a step back. Classic management vs. leadership: Doing things right vs. doing the right things.
Businesses *suck* at documenting their processes. Customer-facing chatbots *also* suck. They either can't solve your problem, or, when they seem to solve your problem, the "solution" goes nowhere. 30/
The problem most companies struggle with is that they're "terminally bad at running software projects effectively." Adding AI to the mix doesn't solve this problem - it just adds a whole new range of ways that software deployment can fail. 28/
Suresh describes this as a literal religious mania. In the 500+ employee businesses Suresh studied, the only people who were promoted - or even spared from being fired - were people who professed "religious declarations of faith" about "the transformative power of AI." 23/
