Look, I don't know much about this issue, but according to the media I consume which is carefully engineered to piss me off,
difficult to overstate how much I despise prediction markets and everything they have done to society at large
I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL.
yes. you cannot win calvinball by taking advantage of the new rules. you have to fire the refs
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · last mo.As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump
Yes. You rarely get to change the world overnight. It's rarely a good idea, even if you did. You change it in degrees and bring people around to your way of thinking. Then you remind people all along who did it, and what more can be done. That's politics.
kyle tear down that highway lucas 🏳️🌈@itskylelucas.com · last mo.My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.
'testosterone and the bible are the new punk rock' kinda shit your youth pastor tells you while sitting backwards on a folding chair two weeks before getting shuffled off to another ministry because a 16 year old girl tempted him into the sin of lust
dan sinker@dansinker.com · last mo.absolutely fucking not.
Social mobility has been declining for decades but that's fine, we don't need the talents of 340 million people as long as we have the several dozen children of our stupidest oligarchs

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.
The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.
so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 2mo ago"People have stopped believing that the economy can be good, and have lost the willingness to admit that they are doing well. That pessimism might be harder to fix than an actual downturn," @annielowrey.bsky.social argues.
I also don't mind the "bubble." When I watch ESPN I don't feel cheated because they don't give time to people who don't like sports to talk about why I'm dumb for liking sports.
One of the most psychotic legal proposals I've ever seen
Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️⚧️@leftiestats.bsky.social · 12mo ago🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)
i will not vote for any democrat that encourages throwing the trans community under the bus, i dont care who the opponent is i will not participate in an election where the choice is between two candidates that will attack marginalized communities to reach their personal political aspirations

A perfect illustration of the dire results from the inadequate response to Jan 6.
Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe lead plaintiff in Callais v. Louisiana said on social media that he was at January 6:
as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.
The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.
Another banger. There was a common slogan around in woke 1.. “it’s not my job to educate you”. But it was. And us not doing it left the door open for the very worst to come in and do the educating
You are being lied to. And there's only one man who knows the truth. Jim Haggerty returns, only on InfoWars.
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!
*deeply* weird to me how widespread the belief seems to be that, if LLM coding basically works as advertised, it's sensible to aim to have engineers producing far more code far more quickly. Like, writing the code is already usually not the real bottleneck, why focus on speeding it up?
Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.
I don’t live in Israel I don’t have family in Israel I have never been to Israel but if I mention anything about being Jewish? well you’d better believe I’ve got to clarify that I don’t approve of Israel immediately stop conflating all of Judaism with Israel’s government but leftishly
