It sure would be nice if I could setup spam rules for text messages. Like if the message contains any Unicode font shenanigans: 🚮. Or the phrase “chip in”
The problem is undocumented immigrants you say? So document them bestie. Imagine if the ICE budget was applied to immigration applications and review and heck why not help out the huge backlog of all court cases while we’re at it.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
I guess a lot of PC gamers have really wanted a console all along, but only the right kind of console.
What is it with political donation solicitation text messages obsession with the phrase “chip in”? Is that some thinktank script at work?
Love when @hankgreen.bsky.social makes a video screaming what I have screaming in my head. It's good to not feel so alone.
Give folks their flowers
No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier
"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
I can! I’d call little AI small focused machine learning models that you can run on your own machine. Like models you’ve trained on a dataset that don’t even need a GPU.m to run. pragprog.com/titles/smeli...
You need to study history
Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:
- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return
Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.
Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

Yes but Splinter Cell. And remakes of the original three.

My weekend project! Fun command line games and things starting off with the classic game of life. It was a good project to learn the bubbletea and lipgloss libraries from @charm.sh!

If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research
Maybe it’s because I’m a state legislator, but I’m worried about the under reaction here. She didn’t spend the night on the House floor. She’s being DETAINED AGAINST HER WILL BY REPUBLICANS UNTIL SHE FOLLOWS THEIR ORDERS. This is 🦇 💩
A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.
Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts
Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it
A screenshot of a Netflix search with the query "What's a good action movie I haven't watched yet?" The search results are "Oh darn. We don't have that." and the suggestion to search for another movie, show, actor, director, or genre.
C'mon Netflix I know you have the data.
Did they ask an LLM to find flaws in Vault’s logic and security model? No. They thought though the problem and followed inconsistencies through the system. cyata.ai/blog/crackin...
I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.
43 hours to raise $8,205 dollars to publish the first All-Black Women Fantasy graphic novel anthology. Omg I can feel it, please share, boost and support this groundbreaking campaign #sdcc #indiecomics #blerd
“Won’t that be grand? (sarcasticly) Computers and programs will start thinking and the people will stop.” TRON, 1982
The real vibing in vibe coding is being done on the AI side as it generates responses that try to best fit the given prompt.
Why oh why do devs keep reading rational thought into responses from the predictive text machine programmed to generate fawning responses?
