Q: "Now that AI can real-time translate stuff, why aren't subtitles available for any video in any language" A: turns out when they invented the video subtitle format they made it bitmap images instead of text, so it's inaccessible to translators

There's something weird about the discourse where they treat Bluesky as a failure because it didn't demolish Twitter's marketshare. There are some folks who didn't switch that I miss, but I genuinely prefer Bluesky to Twitter, it might be smaller but it hasn't failed bsky.app/profile/bren...

another thing that drives me insane is when police "declare unlawful assembly." You can't just Michael Scott away a constitutional right

Seems like some people are expecting this to play out like the BLM protests but seems like the govt will be way less sympathetic this time.

One thing I learned while flying out west is that I apparently don't show up on those body scanner things. Both airports were unable to get a scan

I remember comments from ICE itching for this sort of thing decades ago. They all had this idea that they could "solve" the issue in a day if only the government would let them off the leash. Has to be demoralizing for them to find out their whole world view was incorrect bsky.app/profile/schn...

I would like to call attention to the fact that they're clearly advertising it as a cheating machine. "Learn calculus in 2 weeks" is clearly tying to say, if you haven't been to class in months this machine will help you cheat your way to a good grade bsky.app/profile/karl...

I think about this often. Plumbing isn't hard to learn at all but what stops people from learning it as a side gig is the need for a license, the need for liability insurance, etc. You're either a plumber or not, there's no gig-plumbers bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

I don't get what they think they're going to accomplish by locking the top schools out of the accreditation process. Do they think this will jedi mind trick employers into not noticing that these are the smartest and hardest workers around bsky.app/profile/jbeo...
