I’m about to start working with a Windows container image and it feels like I’m walking under a ladder
being a horrible racist is actually bad and anyone nattering on about “race science” is almost certainly not a good researcher or whatever he did

the enormous difference between NFTs and generative AI is that you can actually save time and money with generative AI. as with any technology, there remains a near infinite number of ways to waste money
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3d agoSorry wait were we talking about crypto? NFTs? Forgot where we were in the hype cycle here.
does the DSA have any control over what entities are formed under its umbrella? Or can anyone join and form something
R.J. Browning@jb26354.bsky.social · 3d agoFrom Charlie Sykes' column this morning. All I can say is The DSA needs to go away, for the good of the country. BONUS: The Revolution starts to Eat its Own:
it turns out that a sweeping and unpredictable tariff policy that increases the cost of production inputs does not, actually, generate production

Oh evaporation isn't "bigger than AI," it's the same size as ALL HUMAN USE OF WATER COMBINED [excluding farms]. Every lawn, golf course, fountain, swimming pool, & "wasteful urbanite who takes 30 minute showers" combined comes out to about the same amount of water as plain ol' evaporation.
Read Hardt and Negri@jason-edelman.org · 5d agoDid not realize habitat loss (evap) was bigger than AI and the same size as ag Does not surprise me in the least Dammit
It’s also important to mention that the strategy of white nationalists is to erode trust by getting well-intentioned people to defend the indefensible. They know they will be reflexively opposed, so they take a deliberately innocuous position (“plagiarism is bad”) to provoke this.
River_Tam@rivertam.bsky.social · 5d agoYet another article about Arday that is poisoned by the basic flaw of failing to admit that Arday was a serial fabulist.
Is this the origin of Roomba President memeing? I liked it and retweeted it and completely forgot about it, then didn't hear those words again until today, and apparently you all have been having fun without me for weeks and weeks now
Stewart Prest@stewartprest.ca · 7mo agoIt would happen no matter what. The US President is basically a Roomba. When he runs into opposition he turns and starts devouring in another direction. Sooner or later he always circles back, though.
Godcop, of course. Or maybe Peter F Hamilton’s Commonwealth books
☀️ Starshine@starshine.bsky.social · last wk.youve got 5.6 billion to make a 7 season 56 episode show airing over 15 years, wdyd
The nice thing about Apple TV shows is that they’re almost never cancelled early and you can feel good about committing to watching it
The gaslighting will continue until the questions improve.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · last wk.“No they’re not” is a perfect encapsulation of the quality of this administration’s coverups
Disclosure Day feels like the latter half of whatever movie it wanted been
wingnuttery remains one of the primary policy drivers of the Trump administration see: tariffs, vaccines
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · last wk.Maybe there’s a kickback in here somewhere, but based on his public remarks, we’re going to spend billions reverting to a worse, older system because Trump has some weird irrational aversion to magnets. Which he apparently thinks don’t work if they get wet?
most museums don’t really discuss the here and now especially presidential museums like what do you expect it to say? Obama did a great job and America decided to elect a goddamn racist moron out of spite?

I would like it if Bluesky let pay them money each month tbh I use this a lot and paying $10/month seems really fair
Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · last wk.as ever I do not wish to beef but do people posting like this not realise that Bluesky is in fact a business and not a charity retirement home for said 38 year olds, and will shut down if it can't find a way to make money, which is the whole problem
related to this, I was working with someone recently that leaned heavily on AI and after a few iterations on a PR the content and commentary became incredibly jargon heavy in ways that made it nigh impossible to read even though the individual words and sentences made sense

Ben Tallen@bentallen.bsky.social · 2w agoOh it's a cute little squishy dude that's actually super dangerous? Yeah, I know what that is.
in order to convince someone to back down, you need to first convince them that they're not going to be able to just take what they want. why would they negotiate with you unless they have a reason to?
Pwnallthethings@pwnallthethings.bsky.social · 2w agothere has been precisely zero minutes since several months before the 2022 invasion where the US, UK, Ukraine, and every major EU country wasn't devoting large teams of diplomats to trying to resolve it. The thing that can move the needle on peace is making sure Russia stops seeing it as winnable.
