I did this solely for my dog, not at all thinking about fire emergencies. That’s just a thing my dog likes to pee on.
just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

Robots to watch your kids. Sounds like his kind of parenting.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

the affordability crisis is an inequality crisis and I know that doesn’t get through to as many people but we can’t ~afford~ to not be clear about the 1:1 connection between those concepts

You don’t need many weapons for mass actions, general strikes, and taking care of your neighbors
For years I have preached that the 2nd Amendment is not going to save anyone from real tyranny because it would involve going against the military, which has MUCH bigger and better weapons. And that is also my friends why I am not real keen on a revolution unless there is NO other choice.

American workers are taking home the smallest slice of the economic pie ever. One year into Trump's regime, the economic consequences are as clear as day: four out of five working class people are suffering while the top 1% capture more of the pie than they ever have.

6 more sycophant loyalist prosecutors in the DOJ will take their place
Absolutely despicable.
There seemingly is no limit to the depths of depravity the administration will go to cover for their propaganda machine.
We need to arrest and prosecute the federal agent that murdered Renee Nicole Good. And we need trials for those involved.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism

We spent decades fearing artificial intelligence, thinking it would take over & destroy us.
Turns out it’s just another tool by which we can waste huge amounts of energy & resources producing meaningless nonsense as we accelerate ever faster along the path to destroy ourselves.

these people are going to look so stupid in 10 years. You can build a data center the size of Mount Everest and use up all the uranium in the fucking solar system and still never anywhere near the general intelligence of a human brain with an LLM. It doesn’t fucking know anything. What type of model

In most of the world day-to-day weather variations are still much larger than long-term global warming.
As a result, both daily record highs and daily record lows remain common.
However as the world warms, new daily record highs consistently far outnumber new daily record lows.
