I mean, unfortunately for them, LLMs still can’t do this as much as they’d like to pretend otherwise

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

It may feel exhausting to call them but it won’t be as awful as life under that budget. If you haven’t reached out, this is the time.

If you just look at social media instead of news sources, you might believe the “big beautiful bill” has passed already.

It hasn’t. It still needs to go through the House, where it has a strong chance of failing — so yes, feel as sad and angry and scared as you need, but PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS.

my fave Rick Steves story/rumor is that one time his daughter threw a party in high school and got caught when he noticed that someone stole his weed

We just launched powerful new capabilities in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline, including graphical pipeline building functionality and "Enhance", which gives teams the ability to do the detective show-style "enhance the letters on that plate" for sampled data.

AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse A new analysis of AI hardware being produced and how it is being used attempts to estimate the vast amount of electricity being consumed by AI.

And from @mollytaft.com:

AI’s energy use already represents as much as 20 percent of global data-center power demand, research published Thursday in the journal Joule shows. That demand from AI, the research states, could double by the end of this year.

to be fair navigating the Trader Joe’s parking lot is like this but I don’t think that’s Seattle-specific

Being cool is great but having somewhere to be cool in the future depends entirely on linking arms with some silly cringe right now

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR
Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars.
<Later>
Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Here is a gift link to @kashhill.bsky.social's must read piece on the dangers of OpenAI's sycophantic LLMs and the parasocial relationships people are creating with them.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Rich tech people who don't create or write code often got extremely lucky early in their careers and attributed it to their superior knowledge and then the tech press who didn't know shit either called them geniuses (they aren't) and now they talk out their ass every opportunity they get
