Humble is offering a collection of "vibe coding" (read: AI-assisted programming)... lessons? Tutorials? Whatever. The point is they're selling a charity bundle full of software that effectively replaces the labor of junior programmers.

Because this has already been shown to be a complete fucking disaster in Australia where the same policy went into effect 3 days ago... John Cornyn wants to bring it to America.

The welfare system isn’t just on fire, it’s burning out of control
The problem with having pattern recognition is that you can always see the fires before they start. Governments are a bit like that, too. It’s not that they don’t see the fire before the smoke, it’s...

I have a sneaking suspicion that all this is from Steam not backing down on requiring disclosure.
And that’s all they’re asking for; honest disclosure on if and how any generative AI is used. And it’s killing them that it has to be disclosed

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I’m kinda thinking of this for those of us in other countries too atm
Canadian Millennial/GenX friends, it’s time to either get your immunity tested or just get an adult MMR booster. Most of us are in a childhood immunization gap where our immunity can wane, usually in our 30s-ish, so… now, approximately. Protect yourselves.
Because of a measles outbreak in 9 of its provinces and 1 of its territories that has persisted for over a year, Canada no longer holds measles elimination status.

CIS ppl please listen. this is not just New rules about what trans care is covered by Medicaid. any doc who gives ANY trans care will be punished. I don't want to go back to Street mones. this is just how the micromanaging starts. Mark my words. cisgender menopause treatments will be next.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun.
The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.
