helps quite a bit if I'm being honest

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Like, to a billionaire, who has completely forgotten what it is like to be told "no, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, shut the fuck up," who has forgotten that there are any limitations on his every fucked up Epstein whim, genAI just sounds like literally everyone he talks to.

An Epidemic of ‘Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

For years, Apple was using the iPhone as an entry product to get people in their ecosystem, with the idea that they’ll buy a (more expensive) Mac later.
Now with the MacBook Neo, it seems it wants people to buy a Mac, with the idea that they’ll buy a (more expensive) iPhone later.

Just to be clear: 14th century British monarchs still needed to go to Parliament for them to raise the taxes to pay for war or palace upgrades. Because British monarchs did not have that power since 1215. What Trump wants is pre-Magna Carta British monarch unlimited power.

Re-creating the complex cuisine of prehistoric Europeans SEM analysis of pottery residues showed people combined fish with a wide variety of plants when cooking.

Archaeologists are keen to learn more about the diets and culinary practices of ancient populations around the globe, and by examining the residues on prehistoric ceramic pots (and doing a bit of hands-on cooking), they're getting closer.

The bad news is that we just lost a huge part of the world energy supply.
The good news is that by turning off the huge data centers used by the AI companies, we can get back some energy.

so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz.

right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.

🗳️🇭🇺Maybe only interesting to Hungary watchers, but the April 12 election will already be historic in one way: neither the former ruling Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP), heir to the communist-era state party, nor the once far-right Jobbik will be on the ballot. Former PM Ferenc Gyurcsány is out, too.

Hah, these leftists are really attacking the Trump administration now. Especially (checks name) (rechecks) Bill… Kristol?

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

I would really like to know who this “top banker” is. I have known plenty of senior bankers in my career who were stupid assholes and/or morally reprehensible sexist pigs, but I have never met one who was so gobsmackingly stupid as to say this—even anonymously—to a reporter.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

We will know MAGA have snapped when we start seeing posters screaming that they just paid over $150 to fill up their F-150s.

I need everyone whose response to yesterday's animation news was "Just go indie!" to understand two things.

1.) "Work For Hire" means the company owns what you've created. You have no rights to it unless explicitly stated in the contract.

2.) Going indie does not pay the bills.

For as much success DotL has seen, I'm EXTREMELY lucky it just covers its own expenses. Most of what I earn goes to cover the costs of paying Yoko, paying the flatter, paying the hosting fees, paying the store costs, paying the warehouse fees, paying the software subscription fees, paying the printe

Hello new followers! 👋
Just want to let everyone know I have a webcomic you can read for free! 🥳 (In english and spanish! 👀)

I am fully confident that costs already exceeding $1 billion daily and escalating by a factor of 2 every 48 hours can be sustained indefinitely.

That's the thing. They wanted to both say the refunds were easy (when they needed a stay to allow the tariffs to continue) and that the refunds were hard (when they need to pay them back).

franchement je suis ingénieur, j'ai pas été formé à l'éthique et je suis pas expert en impact environnemental mais pour ne pas avoir entendu parler de celui des LLM aujourd'hui, il faut quand même se mettre la tête dans le sable profond.
