since randoms are stalking my feed, I'll go ahead and say it:
trans rights are human rights, as are the rest of the LGBQ population. Gavin Newsom can eat a dick if he continues to throw trans kids under the bus. As can JK Rowling and any other transphobe. idgaf

The best part of having a CNC is having it do more tedious tasks so I can work on my important things.

I think my favorite part of following security people online is how much they love to make fun of theoretical vulnerabilities found by researchers performing esoteric, highly improbable actions, that get fixed by vendors without anyone ever actually performing said attack.

"The jobs president "
Now and forever more any media, or any pundit should be lambasted and ridiculed if they ever say Republicans are the "good for the economy party"

Lol Houston has so many NY transplants that this take is moronic.
...and also the Cali techbros and conservatives move to Austin, and TX respectively. Which is part of why we cant get dems to win a statewide election.
In general thoug the people aren't moving cause of politics.

If you boycott elections, candidates logically ignore you and focus on the voters they can still get.
There’s a reason pundits keep nudging Dems to a mushy middle. Those folks are idiots, yes, but they’re idiots who show up to vote.
And that matters more to a candidate than your smart apathy.

Being "tough on crime" is just a call for deterrence. And study after study has shown that deterrence doesn't work, except to sate society's demand for vengeance, to treat "criminals" cruelly. And THAT isn't even deterrence at all. It's retribution, and it precludes rehabilitation.

I'm super tired of these morons being like democrats need to focus on the middle class!! Biden did that, for 4 fucking years and was rewarded with a media too obsessed with his age to cover anything else.
Meanwhile the current POTUS can barely handle some stairs and its radio silence from them.

How many stories have you seen of women saying their symptoms were ignored?
How intent do you hear people complain that their dr was just doing symptom management and not looking to fix the root cause?

Always something when a lazy rich cunt says that the goal of healthcare isn’t to improve your happiness or quality of life but is to make sure you can work harder and longer
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

Beware the #shopdog. Puppy Leo was very curious and playful. Throwback to working out of my garage and on a driveway. After recovering the tape measure, this ended up being an epoxy river corner desk. No tape measures were harmed in the making.

I wish I could just say whatever I want. Complete and total bullshit with no basis in reality, and just fail upwards with no consequences or repercussions.
Trump: "Buttigieg spent billions fixing the air traffic control. They used copper wire going into glass wire. Any union electrician here or any non-union electrician would say you can't hook copper into glass. It doesn't work. They spent billions, turned on the system & it was stone cold blank"

had the researchers never actually used LLMs or talked to anyone?
Cause I have seen this over and over again for at least a year now. I have also seen that it makes you dumber in the field that your using it for. So Devs skills actual regress when they use AI to develop things

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”
