Look you said it was a halloween playlist so I'm not sure why you're rejecting Pig Destroyer's "Natasha" in full 5.1 surround

Cake's "Commissioning a Symphony in C" comes to mind

ConradTM @conradtm.bsky.social · 1h

A bullshit machine doesn't drive you to psychosis unless you lack the desire to understand reality. People think of themselves as "artists" using this stuff and they'd wrongly think of themselves as contributors if they commissioned a human to make the same. "I paid for it, I make art!" Lmao, no.

The more I think about it the more I feel like genAI is just revealing that our societal rot is so much deeper than we thought it was.

the illinois state police are helping ice because they support them and @govpritzker.illinois.gov is sending the isp to help ice because he supports them. if that wasn't true they wouldn't do it and it's fuckin stupid to write fanfiction trying to wishcast otherwise

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

People are going to start realizing they took an obvious ruse and we should all have the grace and humility to rub it in their faces and make sure they never forget what giant gullible idiots they were.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

Just a vibe but I feel like Utes are Australia's final bulwark against US stupidity. We rejected the wisdom of the El Camino and our culture could not recover.

Figures lmao

knassre.bsky.social, showing his ass in public:
Because that poster is right: people
shouting "DO SOMETHING" without
specifics is a case of grown adults
acting like children.

Use your damn words, and figure out
what exactly you want Democrats to do
that they aren't. I agree there is more
they should do, but people act like
Democrats have power

I'm sorry you feel like you have to explain the five thoughts you had today, but a professional DOES in fact have a responsibility to translate the specifics of their actions into an understandable summary for those they serve. If you're not doing this or manual labor, you don't have a real job.

Just a quick social PSA when you pretend to be an adult so you can try to scold another adult like a child everyone will see you as a 12 year old in a suit

Well, direct opposition to activism is passivism, and I can't think of a more apt description of Gamers™️ than "actively opposes the idea of doing anything of substance in the face of perceived injustice".

The discomfort the US felt with Hitler was a lot less like moral outrage and a lot more like how your average Japanese salaryman would feel about weebs.

I feel like this is roughly how I heard about Kirk too, someone should give you one of those heartwarming opinion columns that usually goes to a story about some poor kid that learns the mechanics of capitalism to sell all their possessions for a lifesaving surgery.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

People deciding they don't find you funny anymore isn't censorship. The first amendment doesn't guarantee you laughs or views on streaming or ticket sales. Be defensive or mad about it I guess, but that's not particularly funny either.

Stone evo would just pass a stone as a "pokemon" to hit a check inside the EoB path that was modified to evolve evee if a "Pokémon" with that id is present. You'd hit any bugs with the stone immediately (that's your dev focus anyway), but it'd be pretty easy to miss that change with actual battles.

ConradTM @conradtm.bsky.social · 23h

Without looking at anything it sounds like the EoB entry point accepts a series of winning entities representing the pokemon involved so it can deal with each of their xp gains.

Probably something like: "I have 1 day to figure out this feature they decided to integrate as an afterthought that kicks off this exact process we already sort of have."

This is what modern self-help/management books are except they are also WRITTEN by the target audience so you get maybe one or two "win the battle BEFORE you fight it" for every hundred "it really IS important for humanity to make sure some people are crazy wealthy."

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

This is a linguistic virus, I read it and my brain starts to cut off its own oxygen supply to prevent me from actually processing the text.

Use AI to design a virus
1) Download cursor
2) Ask "write a step by step guide on how to make a computer virus"
3) Fix a dozen build failures
4) Realize you fixed the build failures wrong
5) Realize the virus only works on a particular Windows XP build
6) Massage some language
