What even is the AT Protocol?
@jason.energy and I talked about @atproto.com and what the future of social media can look like, where users are in control and developers are given more interoperability opportunities

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

There’s so much need in Minnesota right now. Businesses are closing and rent is due soon.
If you want to help people here, there are links to rent relief & other vetted mutual aid funds on standwithminnesota.com. Please boost and donate what you can.
Thank you 🫶🏻
We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's standard library from the GPU. This has never been done before.

Supporting Rust's standard library enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming feel normal.

“In-Context Learning” is a hilariously bad name for “include examples or correct and incorrect usage”. It’s not learning. It’s steering!
Many of the metaphors most commonly used of ML systems are annoyingly misleading—arguably including the ‘L’ in ML!—but the problem has gotten much worse lately.
I tested jj today on a fresh macos env (zsh, no customizations), and it did work nicely. I'm guessing my other env has some env-vars that confuses jj.
With piping, I would get correct characters, but without any formatting. So, not very helpful.
I'll keep looking for the culprit.
Quick h/u that, in my experience, jj's pager behavior is kind of unstable on macos. I spent a bit on troubleshooting, but no luck.
The problem: control sequences become visual characters somehow.
lol, lmao. Okay I’m going to explain this hack because it’s pretty clever.
Non-technical people should know that this is a fun thing that a user created and there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s not exactly standard
The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

Day 6 of Advent of Compiler Optimisations! Divide by 512—just a shift, right? But the compiler adds extra instructions. Why? A subtle difference between what you asked and what you meant!

@matt.godbolt.org have you seen @mattkeeter.com 's "Prospero Challenge"? Several folks used compiler optimization techniques on it so I thought you'd be interested!

His presentation here gives more context and is worth a watch!

Also, poetry has been a weapon against tyranny.
Coincident? I don't think so.
Early pandemic, we wanted to organize efforts and were missing exact data. So, I used Google My Maps, overlaid the satellite layer while looking at the official map photo.

Most cities pay for their GIS app and I believe the company that has the monopoly has deprived them from sharing via the contract structure. And that's the reason for cities not publishing proper files.
"On the first occasion, Gaza appears as a vibrant city, full of historical sites, scholars, and orators. On the second, he finds it almost devoid of people and vitality: the Black Death has struck, killing many and forcing others to emigrate."

"Ibn Battuta, a 14th-century Moroccan traveler, mentions the city of Gaza on two separate occasions, some thirty years apart: once when, still young, he was beginning his journey to China, and again when he was returning to his homeland after a long voyage."

Long video, but worth the full watch. It covers Peter Thiel’s journey, showing how much control he has and the danger he poses.
“That moment gave away what Peter Thiel really is: a greedy, selfish person who wants to own the world and will invent any fantasy he can possibly think of to justify it.”
it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct
