The future is kind of just a bunch of dogs shitting on the floor forever but they've all got these horrible white guy human faces and they keep going "Things are changing. Fast. Don't get left behind. This is the future. Catch the wave" over and over and over really fucking loud

"AI is a part of everyday life" because companies keeps trying to force it to happen, not because its a good, organic or practical product.
I know thats not a catchy headline but its more truthful.
Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go "grotesque," you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium.
I BETTER SEE THIS SHIGERU MIYAMOTO QUOTE ALONGSIDE HIS OTHER FAMOUS ONES
I’ve always thought I’m not smart enough to write a best-selling book, but after a couple years listening to @ifbookspod.bsky.social I realized the truth is that I’m not dumb enough
pg_clickhouse is the fastest PostgreSQL extension on ClickBench.
We built pg_clickhouse to let you query ClickHouse directly from Postgres. Rather than shoehorn analytics into Postgres, pg_clickhouse pushes down full query execution to ClickHouse.

Would be interesting to compare the results on more recent models - but this problem won’t go away. LLMs are always going to be extrapolating from what has already, and often, been thought, which is why they aren’t windows to the future but anchors to the past.
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level
Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪

Jesus, save me from your followers.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.
Anyone who actually does work: this sucks, this fucking sucks
People who don’t work: amazing shit, just amazing
Today is National Thesaurus Day.
Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.
Rain, snow or shine! Nurses are holding down the line!
Striking NYC nurses continued their MLK weekend actions by taking their message from the picket lines to the home of Montefiore CEO, Dr. Ozuah, demanding "Fair Contract Now!"
San Francisco is going to give families making under $230k free child care for kids under 5. It is nice to see that good things can still happen.

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.
Sign held up with handwritten text: "If they are going to shoot us and then call us fucking bitches, then we need to be bigger fucking bitches"
A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march
Hey. I directed @rianjohnson.bsky.social’s WAKE UP DEAD MAN Notes of a Scene for @vanityfair.com and which I basically co-opted so I could talk to Rian about writing murder mysteries. (Filmed at the Toronto International Film Fesrival 9/7/25)

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"
If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
Guy voted for a rapist and just can’t figure out why his daughters are mad at him. Clearly it must be something wrong with them.

Generals gathered in their massesss
Just like witches at black massesss
Evil minds that plot destructiooooon
Sorcerer of death′s constructioooon
In the fields, the bodies burniiiing
As the war machine keeps turniiing
Death and hatred to mankiiiiind
Poisoning their brainwashed miyinds
WHOA LORD YEAH
PLEASE this.
And also to scientists writing press releases, too - calling something "AI" when it was actually your student spending 12 months fitting and validating a model is disingenuous
