Do you think websites should use machine learning to filter out very bad illegal content so that humans don’t have to look at it

Somebody posted about Jesse to Jay in reply to a post of hers about how annoying out of context replies are (which was itself quoting a waffles joke) and she replied waffles

if I have a good idea of what I’m doing, mostly after milestones, if I’m tinkering you’ll see a PR with like fifty ones called ‘wip’

As an aside are other people also saying waffles is a nazi dog whistle now, because I might start waffleposting to scare them off

With all the appviews I’ve seen around this year I was pretty surprised to learn that blacksky just runs bluesky under the hood

Alt-text:

A four-panel "expanding brain" meme illustrates increasingly complex takes on the classic gold rush investment metaphor.

Top panel (smallest brain, dark blue glow):
Text: “IN A GOLD RUSH, YOU WANT TO SELL SHOVELS.”
(The basic business wisdom: sell tools to prospectors instead of mining for gold yourself.)

Second panel (brain lit up with neon circuits):
Text: “BUT ONCE YOU'VE SOLD ENOUGH SHOVELS, YOU REINVEST THAT MONEY IN TRAINS.”
(Next-level strategy: use profits from tools to invest in infrastructure.)

Third panel (brain glowing pink, more connections):
Text: “TRAINS BRING MORE PROSPECTORS, WHO GET DISCOUNTED TICKETS IF THEY BUY YOUR SHOVEL ON BOARD.”
(Synergistic thinking: integrate transport and tools to fuel demand.)

Bottom panel (exploding cosmic brain, radiating lines):
Text: “ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY IS TRAINS AND SHOVELS.”
(Editorial suggestion from the chatbot: OR POSSIBLY PAPERCLIPS.)

As an aside my favorite riff on this title format is the paper Is There Anything It Is like to Be a Bat?

Daily bunny no.3100 is just a branch away

A bunny sits on the branch of a tree at night, sipping tea and looking at the full moon. On the moon, another small bunny is visible, also drinking tea while looking back at the bunny on the tree branch

Ok excluding rabies dogs kill like 35,000 people a year, 100k if you count rabies, I doubt hyenas are beating that

I’d still be shocked if feliforms beat caniforms for annual injuries. They have feral dogs (and non feral guard dogs) in those same ranges

Hmm, looks like data on hyenas is spotty, but yeah likely to be more from hyenas

The animal is. Idk. Weaselish. Long and sleek. Hair swept back like it’s in the wind

Surely bears injure more people than hyenas
