A super fun project I did with Chey several years ago was doing a duo of Sakizo's illustrations! It was so much fun going to rhinestone hell with all the detail work we got into 🥰

UPDATE:

I absolutely did trigger my fire marshals to go through the code and grumble about it continually playing catch up. That part of the point of building the datacenters where they are isn't just cheap land and resource they can exploit, but older code with poor enforcement.

Funranium (AKA Phil Broughton) @funranium.bsky.social · 1d

I suspect I have just triggered a "Well, shit" moment regarding the building code, its to imagine datacenters facilities like this, and the potential of people just outright ignoring the code to load as many GPUs in as possible and run them at 99.999% of maximum clock speed until they melt.

At a minimum, please consider wearing a good mask like an N95 on airplanes and in healthcare settings. Now basically no one is, which is deeply dystopian and troubling. COVID is still out there and causing subclinical damage.

It’s just basic facts. Basic science. Basic compassion for others.

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results

Welcome to the Anthropic Copyright Settlement Website
Are you the legal or beneficial copyright owner of a book included in the Anthropic Copyright Settlement?
You could get a payment from the $1.5 billion Settlement.

This ruling, which pulls significantly from the May ruling from the Fifth Circuit, says that you as a taxpayer have no First Amendment rights when it comes to library collections or access to library materials.

You are losing your rights. You should care about this.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:

Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

A reminder to all my fellow cosplayers if they haven’t figured it out yet: your life will be WAY happier if your reaction to “someone is wearing the same costume as me” is taking the spider-man point picture and screaming at each other about loving the character and the worse points of wearing it

Official VA emails advising veterans and federal employees to blame the "Radical Left" for the shutdown instead of Trump are facing criticism for using government channels for partisan propaganda, which violates the Hatch Act.

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

You don't get it.

Their rejection of clean air and masking is not based on logistics or cost or practicality or achievability or comfort.

They think that you *need to catch airborne viruses*.
That's why they reject clean air.

And, yes, they are wrong.

For diphenhydramine and promethazine, it's "25-50mg every 4-6 hours until you no longer feel like shit"; for cetirizine or loratidine it's "20mg every 12 hours until you no longer feel like shit".

The dosage and timing for pre-vaccination is EITHER:

- 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OR 50mg promethazine (Phenergan) 15 minutes before the shot OR
- 20mg cetirizine OR 20mg loratidine 2-3 hours before the shot

Only take one of those (ie, don't take Benadryl AND cetirizine).

This lethal screwup, specifically - probably the worst medical error in all of history.

This is why public health leaders won't talk about the long term impacts of COVID, or how you can prevent it with aerosol-appropriate PPE (respirators like N95s).

To protect you, they have to admit a mistake.

DER SPIEGEL: But even the World Health Organization didn't take the spread via aerosols seriously and didn’t issue a warning about it until the autumn of 2020 …

Farrar: Yes, you are right, that was a very big mistake. We could have prepared better if bigger decisions would have been made around aerosols, around face masks, around the best treatment options, personal protective equipment for nurses, doctors, about the capacity for intensive care units. That would have saved an enormous number of lives.
