I truly wonder how many errors (implementation or architectural) are silently getting merged into prod with every passing day, given how many people out there are totally convinced that they're zooming along at 10x velocity now.

Finland has the highest unemployment rate among OECD countries.
More from the “what happens when you vote in a right wing government” department.
Unemployment has skyrocketed in Finland, aided by massive and badly timed (procyclical) cuts that demolished domestic consumption, and is now the highest of all OECD countries.

for some reason, the phrase "buy now or be priced out forever" from, say, 2005-2006 just popped into my mind
The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Some people heard "this is not AGI, and will not lead to AGI" and decided it was safe to tune out at that point
I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

The player actor class in the code for this game was named CBruce, which makes sense.
It gets a little weirder when you learn that they kept that name in the codebase for the follow-up game...

Yeah, this is similar to why I think people who expect AI to replace creative industries are fundamentally wrong. The novelty of something new, never before seen, is what sustains these art forms, and it's fundamentally at odds with the technical foundations of current AI technologies.
Really feeling nostalgic for the (personally) uncomplicated Obama years rn
“Measure Fails” Budget Phasing Strategy Phase 1 - In January 2027: • 63% train hours cut and 10 station closures (20% of stations) • 30% fare increase • Target $30M of (half-year) reductions in fleet/non-fleet maintenance, police, and system support • Balance remainder of FY27 with one-time resources and financial deferrals • Assess: ridership/revenue impacts; performance of system support; impacts/risks of asset closures; and determine if Phase 2 can be safely implemented Phase 2 - If feasible, in FY28 (July 2027 service change): • Cumulative 70% train hours cut, 15 station closures (30% of stations), and segment closures (32 miles or 25% of system length) • Cumulative 50% fare increase • Target over $130M of cumulative budget reductions in fleet/non-fleet maintenance, cleaning, police, and system support • Defer remaining capital allocations • Based on observed conditions of closed system segments, study options and tradeoffs for stopping train service Phase 3 - When required: • If determined BART can’t safely or legally operate with available resources, stop passenger service • Use existing District tax revenues to secure system assets • Work to determine system’s future
BART's newly released concepts for what they'll do if Connect Bay Area transit funding measure fails are terrifying.
Phase 1: 63% train hours cut & 10 station closures
Phase 2: Cumulative 70% train hours cut, 15 station closures
Phase 3 (if required): END BART SERVICE
We must pass the measure!

How long until this type of outcome becomes common knowledge among the managerial and investor classes?
Why use a photo with the old BART trains that are no longer in service?

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...
"queueing up in their millions"? what does that even mean?
can't wait to get that first push notification about a lucrative multi-war parlay, with one-click investing
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
Google, I absolutely do not want this sports betting garbage on my phone.
My mouse (Razer Basilisk v2) started going a little flaky recently, after almost exactly 6 years of service. I have no idea if that's the expected lifespan, shorter than normal, etc. But it's irritating when something non-essential (the DPI switching button) breaking prompts me to replace it.
"net negative to humanity" in its purest refined form
Flipping between the last few minutes of each game on the NBA slate tonight is absolutely compelling right now.
Eric Schmitt • @Eric_Schmitt X.com Territorial expansion is a time-honored American tradition—think Louisiana Purchase, Alaska. We're a frontier people—it's in our blood. Acquiring Greenland isn't a silly idea. It makes all the sense in the world. Here's why.
the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party
