Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
a popup from Indeed asking if you have experience in "Arrays (data structure)".
what are we even doing here man
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
These would be perfectly terrible conditions under which to start a data center building spree.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
A pencil illustration of Hades and Persephone. The two are embracing, with Hades appearing sad and Persephone reassuring. Crocuses bloom in the foreground, and Persephone's hair is also full of blossoming crocuses; both a sign of the approaching spring, which perhaps is why Hades is sad. It's time for Persephone to return to the upper world!
I got this drawing of Hades and Persephone finished up today as well. I'll adjust the color and contrast in photoshop and get it printed on watercolor paper to start painting! 😊 (I also see a few proportional issues to fix before proceeding 🤨)

Regardless of whatever whiz-bam cool "feature" is touted, these military ghouls don't actually care if it does a better job at finding targets.
The real utility of a tool like Claude in this situation is *accountability dodging*.
"The computer told me to do it."
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
It's really OK to not be the main character at every point of life and just read and watch stories about other people without turning it into some fulfilment ritual
a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment
Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year
That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society
Gave this a little actual thought and yeah every group who came here early enough to establish the culture is used to having an adversarial relationship with the website they post on. It must really chap these Bay Area Sickos asses tbh
A kitchen counter with a cursed square waffle and cursed waffle iron on it with that “optimally packed 17 squares” layout that is deeply unsettling to look at. The outer parts are aligned to a square but there are 7 squares in the middle at various angles and it looks like complete nonsense but it is in fact the most compact way to store 17 squares in a larger square. I have no idea where this came from and whoever made it should go to jail.
You may not like it, but this is the optimal way to construct a waffle with exactly 17 squares.

Learning that the abundance of Thai restaurants around the world is a direct result of the government of Thailand doing a sort of restaurant diplomacy makes me wonder why America can’t just do that, why can’t we make the burger to end all burgers instead of Henry Kissinger 2

Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
