Model collapse: when you make the C students from this class write the textbook for next years’ class, and repeat for a few years until it becomes mush.

I'm experimenting with a way to show how DOS games render themselves. Basically I'm recording a lossless video of the game running on a very slow (virtual) CPU, then removing all the frames where nothing happens, and I'm playing it back sped up a lot.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

When I said that everyone has a story about Glenn Greenwald being a dick to them, this is not what I meant.

There are writers who I admired a great deal when I was younger and whose work influenced me greatly, and who also turned out to be whining childish hatemongers, and now I simply don't admire them or consume their work. Remarkably simple.

This makes my night. Some of the best (and most ridiculous) work I ever did is in that repo and now it’s not lost to time.

I have no idea why people are reposting this again, but it's making me happy. A subway classic!

Update: month 4 of MathAcademy, ~40XP/day, now doing basic calc stuff (which is my big blind spot so I'm happy about that). I sold myself on this by saying I'd get the same happiness out of this as I did from the NYT Crossword, but also get better at math, and: yes, v. definitely.

I managed to disassemble a motor that wouldn't start, assemble it again and got it working! Never felt so manly 😂

It’s got anxiety!

Visiting from a small town in Sweden I never felt unsafe in the subway. It was quite dirty and felt underfunded/neglected but not dangerous in any way

I don’t want to quote the person asking about why the trains are so dirty though I largely agree with their assessment. But often the cleanliness of Japan is attributed to cultural norms & while that plays a part the answer is that in USA we chose to fund police instead of train custodians.

My first steam game ISLANDS & TRAINS has just released!! What began as a tiny hobby project has grown into something that I'm so thankful, excited and proud of. It would mean the world if you could give this a repost and try the game on Steam 💌🌻 s.team/a/1957760

This is so random! and muuuuch needed A new Random namespace with 22 methods for working with randomness in JavaScript. proposal just hit Stage 1

What are the costs of Trump and Rubio’s destruction of USAID? Sexual violence, human trafficking, fatal stampedes, malnourished children, shootings in refugee camps. @propublica.org reports on memos from inside our own government on the damage we are doing. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

kitchen tip: the carb in carbonara is for "carbonated." you are supposed to be putting it through your sodastream

👀 Coming to Chrome DevTools in Chrome 138: CSS Value Tracing When you hover a --custom-prop in a `var()`, DevTools currently shows you the computed value. From Chrome 138 onwards, you can hover the `var` part to see how CSS actually got to that value.

Ok so I didn’t really need that in my adult beverage but thanks for sharing

Not a Stormy Daniels quote.

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

Steve Bannon has been telling anyone who will listen, for more than a dozen years, that he wants them to read propaganda saying South Asians are subhumans who literally eat shit. If you point this out to major media or tech platforms, they act like *you* are the crazy one. Ask me how I know.

After years of being told this kind of lie thousands of times by right-wing politicians and media figures, there are millions of Americans who think if they set foot in a city of more than a million people they will literally be murdered in the first 15 minutes. I wish I was exaggerating.

Just another day being a woman on God's green internet

Oh look at that, capitulating to Trump does nothing. Despite Newsom and CIF banning a trans girl from competing in the same category as her cisgender peers, California is still being investigated for not discriminating hard enough. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ma...

Be sure to book the "Complete Conference Package" for C++ On Sea 2025 and come to my C++ Best Practices Workshop, attend an amazing conference and come to the speaker's dinner! cpponsea.uk/tickets

If you care about trans people, you have to remove her work from your life. Period. I don’t care why you don’t want to. We’re way past that. And that’s entirely her doing.

EU regulator: If an app developer wants to link to the web (for example, because it allows for a better user experience / cheaper prices) then Apple needs to allow this. This is a nice way of saying that Apple's anti-steering rules are anticompetitive.

AI folks are "idea people". They just want to go around spouting inane things, have someone else do the work and get rich

congrats to those who figured out this was about the gaza fundraiser thing. I'm going to ask exactly 1 question here: why do the promoters/"verifiers" of these "desperately" (her words) need people in dozens of countries to lend their ID & bank acct info to do this, instead of their own ID/acct?

On Earth 2.0, folks on the other side of the aisle would say loud and clear that if "everyone involved in the deal understand the payment as the price of merger approval" then it is a bribe, and all of those people should expect to go to prison if it goes ahead in the next administration

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

You know how California is on Earth and Mars isn’t? Apartheid Clyde is hoping you don’t notice that bit Especially the part where trains don’t need to reach escape velocity

Trump gets visibly angry at "chickening out" question about tariffs. Says to the reporter, "You ask a nasty question like that" (animation from the archives)

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

if you’re going to be transphobic in my mentions I truly cannot emphasize enough that the two clicks I need to block you are both: a) easy and b) satisfying

This is the general vibe regarding Newsom, simply incredible work by all the consultants and advisors taking healthy checks to make him more reviled by the day 🙃
