it's a perfect storm of evil and stupid; I get that there are consequences for refusing to obey orders for active duty military members but if you believe in such a thing as a soul you should really consider the tradeoffs there

OK so I know Facebook is dead to people of our generation and all, but I low-key love joining Facebook groups full of old Dutch people. So lovely to see people have pride in their neighborhoods, post old photos, reminisce about old pubs and churches from the 70s and such.

this is why I keep talking about how important it is to skillfully pilot LLM swarms instead of just offloading one's cognition and surrendering to atrophy, because (1) it's true (2) we don't want the management class getting ideas

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Think I may get to actually be a compiler engineer for a bit here. Discovered that GHC has some pretty ripe opportunities for codegen improvements for AArch64

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

The new ROG Strix XG27JCG is basically the best monitor ever. Pretty good price for 5k, looks about as good as the LG ones, 180hz refresh rate, really good color accuracy and brightness. Works with usb-c despite the rumors

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgiaβ€”by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
