They overwinter in the sewers in mild Portland winters. Which maybe just is the future. Are warming huts for bats a thing? Or will bats start ending their hibernation earlier?

This really demonstrates why so many people are saying that despite AI agents meeting some quality concerns in other domains, they are rapidly driving change in software development.

A possible future could be the majority of useful software can only be made with trade secret knowledge. But in that, feels like the limit edge of the long standing concern with permissive licensing.

They should train this shit on Google employees’ annual review performance brag sheet claims instead of random internet chat forums.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I’m assuming this is quality street tacos and a top selling patriotic American beer.

So like get up after a good night’s sleep, jog a very slow mile, down two beers and two tacos. Chill for 45 minutes. Do that light jog/eat/drink every hour. After nine hours call it a day and give your liver the rest of the night off?

Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death

Note that this report only cherry picks some of the most “newsworthy” and glaringly soundbite ready aspects of 2025’s operation, understating the breadth of impact. There are cuts and damage not even included in this high level summary.

The Olympics closing ceremony has all these performers singing not in English?? Scandalous! Kash is going to need to investigate while he's over there.

We were genuinely saying the Canucks looked so sad after. It was a hard fought game. And stats favoured 🍁

Sorry

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

I really really am finding this remains tremendously useful in framing so much of AI usage and hype:

In the meantime it appears the trend remains "ChatGPT write me an abstract that complies with the CFP rules at ${url} and combines topics from ${buzzword_list}".

Once, just once I'd love to somehow hear back from a CFP submitter "Wow thanks for your review feedback...you clearly spent more time reviewing than I did authoring, I'm sorry, I will try to be more respectful and submit higher quality work."

Lost it is, my precious, lost, lost!

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Watching the Olympic snowboarders I always will remember my cousin Tyson, pro half pipe shaper who surely would have been in Italy cutting the superpipe if not for a tragic accident in China ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft

Cold frame in winter sun with condensation behind the glass and many square feet of 4-6” microgreens cozily photosynthesizing inside

We’re having the warmest winter yet

In other news, companies are maybe getting interested in performance (ie: real dollars runtime expense) in AI after years of massive, massive waste?

Happy to see arch specific SIMD support starting. Worked on some projects years ago which would have had tremendous perf improvements from this, but (reasonably) the language was emphasizing simplicity in its earlier days.

Genuinely curious if you schedule a call with them to discuss, does a bot show up to pitch you?

ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

I reckon at least a couple of those businesses will go under before that
