in the 2000s i would tell people i was so nerdy i was the kid who was bullied in computer camp

around 2015 i had to start explaining that computer camp in the 1990s was not full of financially minded overachievers. no, the cool kids didn't go there...
i started my cs major in 2002 and industrial engineers, mechanical engineers, etc would smugly tell me i didn't have a reliable career ahead of me
it was over for computer science as a major when it was associated with nouveau riche industry professionalism and not the weirdo pirates situated between the grounded pragmatism of engineers and the rigorous purity of mathematicians

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

Marjorie Taylor Green has been hated by Democrats for years with no concerns for her personal safety.

Now that has changed for her.

Trump did that.

OMG the Olympics are going to use several GPT3s worth of water to fill their swimming pool!

but more seriously: you can cut beef! order chicken and meatless options when they are available!
for instance, GPT-3 took 700,000 liters of water to train. That sounds like a lot! It is roughly the amount of water used to raise the amount of beef that *two* Americans eat in a year.

remember, PR is Ed's actual expertise. rare W
It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

(CW: weapons) when I went to college in the South, people with carry permits would tell me about "shoot to kill" and why it was the right thing to do. no matter how much they explained it, I did not get it.

I should have just called them sociopathic and left.

like, absolutely no one with my background could ever get hired for my position in GOOG as it is.

i think it's just that tech became a way to make a huge amount of money and only that and once you let those guys rule over you it's all over

No. Next question.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

on a low carb vegetarian diet, green bean casserole is probably the only thing I can eat

this Thanksgiving I am probably going to eat peanuts, cheese, and salad.

this diet is kind of bonkers isn't it
with charity and goodwill, i must here part ways with rolls.

Yeah, a good bit of the broader “scripts” available to women is that, to intensely generalize, both femininity and gender nonconformity are punished. So, women face discrimination either way. Whereas men face discrimination only for gender nonconformity.

"skill issue" is a valid retort to many things, but there are always people who just can't develop that skill. calling them lazy is social reaganism

Yes, which is all the more reason to fight for decent interests to be prioritized in e.g. system prompts.

Google defaulted to multicultural depictions of historical figures when they launched image generation and the worst people in the world will not let them forget it.
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Two-way stops on residential streets are a total menace.

I'm out walking the baby to sleep and just saw a neighbor (I recognize her car) run over a jogger and then proceed to blame him for being in the crosswalk.
