Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

when we say AI is coming for our jobs this is what we mean

Can a Microsoft Engineer not simply ask Copilot to whip up a little search?!

Cannot believe it is anno domini MMXXVI and the only way to see more workflows in GitHub Actions is STILL continuously clicking a "show more" link until the one you want shows up.

Actually, you should never have the world enable/disable in the label whatsoever. Label MUST be positive/affirmative action taken, the toggle itself describes if that occurs or not

A pox upon your house if you combine boolean toggles and negative action/terminology in this way.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

GitHub needs a setting that all PRs start in Draft mode. Y'all can't be trusted.

Made with Hershey's "chocolate-flavored" coating. mmm sounds delicious. Nothing I love more than a chocolate-flavored coating.

Asking this very human "person" I'm chatting with to explain the layout of his bathroom to me. He seems to be both standing at a sink and have a sink reflected behind him.

trans guy rescues a baby from Lake Michigan then gets a burger as soon as he’s discharged from the hospital is as Chicago a story as they come

Normalizing assassinations of heads of state/government is not a particularly wise thing to do for the stronger hegemon facing asymmetric conflicts.

The color and waves really made it seem like we were above the clouds

Meme: The Duolingo owl and the Hooters owl are brothers. One chose the path of knowledge. The other, the path of jumbo bazoingas, short shorts and chicken wings. An unbridgeable schism. A tale as old as time. The response: Their father, the Tootsie Roll Own, is equally proud of both and just wishes he could have his family back.

ceo, the most replaceable-by-ai role!

This is a spectacular call back

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

Researchers praise ‘stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment Early trials of the drug VIR-5500 showed it shrinking tumours in some patients

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Find Out Exactly How Much Downtown Highways Cost Your City — Streetsblog USA "How much does it actually cost to be car dependent?" This Dallas-based analyst set out to answer that question for cities across the U.S.

So all of this is in a thread about a Claude tool someone built to link to NLRB opinions, and it's just such a massive misunderstanding of how law works.

Help me understand this: The entire internet is going wild about Block stock going up 23% today but if you zoom out just a tiny bit they are still below where they were January of this year.

But look back at past introductions of productivity boosters and it's mostly companies trying to do MORE with the same number of people. No CEO or investors are excited with "let's keep revenue flat but cut costs"

Not saying the introduction of LLMs isn't leading to layoffs. It's just not for the reasons Anthropic et al are hoping for.
