“If AI was suddenly banned, would you give it up?” Honestly, I’d be so relieved. I claude all day, almost everyday. It’s become a pretty core part of my life tbh. But it would be so nice to just spend a few weeks just taking it slow and hand coding things. Like carving your own spoon in the woods.

“Far more important than anything that happens to us is continuing to organize..." Davis said. “And if I have to go to prison because I did what I could for the greater good, I’m ready and willing to do that.” Amazing report from @samtlevin.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Spokane police documents show a DHS task force officer tracing protesters’ cars, identities, and whereabouts without alleging any wrongdoing.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Wild that pretty much the only place with any social trust left in America is the Airport. All these bags rolling around the carousel, free for anyone to grab. It doesn’t even have any advertising on it! But it makes sense I guess, everyone who is there has paid quite a lot to get in here.

crazy to deeply internalize that I am a capable person able to reshape the world in the ways I need to,,, while taxiing at the airport.

If you're trans, you're trans. Live your life and get the most out of it. It's going to be hard no matter what. There's no reason to be proactive about limiting yourself or making it harder. Seize your own happiness, tranny! Nobody else is going to seize it for you!

The nice thing about traveling is that I suddenly remember I can microblog

really loving all the protests against and support for trans women happening in and around the WNBA, a league that has never had a trans woman play in it. we’re just THAT interesting to talk about! for everyone! how fun!!!!

I should read more magazine articles. I recently got a subscription to the physical WIRED for the vibes, and there’s some good stuff in here. Way more pleasant to read than online too.

one of my favorite parts of SFO is that TSA pre wait times are usually a minute or two slower than general wait times

Looks like we’ve finally got some legit, interesting and useful math from AI. Wild. Damn.

1/ Initial reactions after some hours with this groundbreaking result proving the NP-hardness of poly-approx CVP/NCP: It is most likely correct, but more importantly, it is original, elegant, and beautiful! (Also: it is easy to improve, quantitatively.) openai.com/index/ten-ad...

Is it normal to feel kinda bad and annoyed about flying? I’ve gotten over a lot of my fears with it, the claustrophobia, the heights, the sound and crampedness….. but I still don’t really like it. I’m just left feeling a bit grouchy and uninterested.

Also, I think my main complaint with Brand New Day is that we didn’t get a _proper_, Hulk vs. Spider-Man fight. Like, yeah, it was awesome. But spider-man is canonically close enough to Hulk in strength that he can knock him around. I want an all out brawl!!!

anyway, what where they feeding tom holland in that movie. Christopher Nolan must have really done a number on him.

Sometimes, I wonder how many of the annoying things in our world are caused by centralization feedback loops. Like, there’s so much freaking money sloshing around the system because lots of regulations are used to basically ban small businesses. But that money needs to do _something_

do I want a dog 🤨

interesting thread about the implications of this latest round of AI math. I’ve gotten the impression that while impressive, AI math is generally in the ‘neat, high effort, but mostly meh’ category. It sounds like this new round is very different.

Some initial thoughts, and a complicated mix of feelings. Wow. I mean, Erdos problems are cool (I genuinely mean that), I didn't know about the Jacobian conjecture before it got disproved. But this newest batch from OpenAI hits home in a way the previous announcements did not.

Yooo, I just realized I might be able to go to a WATER PARK after bottom surgery!!! omg!!! I hadn’t realized that was just in the ‘never doing it again’ bucket,,,,, but I could do it 👀👀👀

as an autist with some degree of sensory processing disorder, it's hard not to empathize with the LLM, a pile of math in a box with a similarly-tenuous grasp on a confusing external world

oh fuck

i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.

Instagram’s ad network is crazy effective. Literally the only place with ads I consistently like. Tiktok’s are too cheap, google/youtube are just random, if I have to watch or listen to another brilliant ad I might die. But instagram? Mini indoor gardens, cute clothes, cat stuff that actually works

God Madonna will never stop omfg

I'd like to feel less bad about pictures of myself. Not quite sure what angle to push this on, either self-confidence, fitness, photography, or posing,,, but I always feel like I look weird no matter what's going on.

spent all weekend in a house with all my friends in a beautiful spot and now i’m home alone thinking about work tomorrow,,,,

I feel like i’m the target market for toe shoes but I can’t bring that evil into my life
