LLMs turn your job into mostly code review, a task everyone famously loves to do and is good at

2000s wars: advertised as principled defense of democracy while actually being about resource extraction

2020s wars: advertised explicitly as imperialist land grabs, resource extraction, and destruction of entire nations and peoples while also being about trying to get jesus back down here

remind me to go buy a school history textbook when I'm 80 years old because I need to see how this stuff gets explained after the fact

all that ridiculous stuff about trump being the greatest christian president in history was really these guys saying he's the most likely guy to actually try and start the rapture playbook

oh I also made a copy of it in a spreadsheet because of course

also including a program for solving the tile puzzle boxes

including an A3 map of the final area that I'm still pondering getting framed

these are odd decisions, I think I would really struggle to play this without a pile of paper, spreadsheets and my screenshots folder handy. we made *so* much stuff outside the game while playing

if they ported blue prince to switch, did they make it so you can save mid run? what about adding in-game info retrieval so you don't need to screenshot?

sama take vidya

slay the spire cards that sound like adobe products

if I'd just been making a huge deal about the dow hitting 50k I would probably not then do the most obviously economically destabilising thing possible

this is 90p/litre. what the hell

lol. lmao

the data centre has men's mental health

it is consistent with their "hurrah for the brownshirts" position I suppose

the paper that has always been notionally pushing for the uk's independence and sovereignty complaining we're not doing whatever america wants, even at its most naked display of pointless imperial destruction

you'd think it would be an issue of basic comms discipline for bsky staffers not to routinely slag off their own users in public, and yet

unsure about being pleased noem has got fired when she's being moved to a newly invented dept with the most "defend the glory of the fatherland" ass name imaginable

hmm I hadn't considered the AI angle. ruby is probably an interesting case of having a relatively large training corpus but also hiding a lot of things behind "magic" that models are less able to make sense of

I would be very confident asserting that github's problems have nothing to do with what language any of it is written in

me 3 months ago: £100+/mo is an unjustifiable expense for what claude does for me

me now: not sure I could live with myself knowingly giving £100+/mo to the "blow up a random school" machine

a war of aggression, with no plausible cause, no legal or moral justification, no strategy, no goals beyond fulfilling the plot of the book of revelation, total destructive imperialist religious extremist carnage. how can *anyone* support this

the papers are going "typical leftists reflexively opposing a war" about the most obviously stupid reckless and unjustified war of our lifetimes. if anything you have to be reflexively pro-violence to find any appeal in it

"petulant pacifist" is pure nonsense while "legalistic and very political" are bizarre criticisms to level at a politician and legislator

hear me out: crime and punishment, by pedro almodovar

now I'm wondering about other "unfilmable" novels... who should direct "to the lighthouse"

(I'm also in bed with flu and a splitting headache and reading this on my phone which isn't a great start for trying to understand something challenging)

there are also a lot of unqualified opinions flying around either in favour based on the author, or against because of the use of claude. hence I would like an *informed* opinion on the article's content
