I cannot stress enough how much chaos this tariff nonsense injects into my regular day-to-day work. I work in software development for shipping terminals. These are customers who take YEARS to update their software. They now require changes in months and don't have the infrastructure to support it.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Google decided to make everyone's assistant Gemini apparently. It is garbage. The regular assistant worked great. Now if I ask it to "Call insert name" It gives me internet results or says "I don't understand what you're asking. " 🖕🖕🖕AI

The promise of AI is to do what private equity has been doing to business for decades to every facet of your life, stripping out anything good and interesting in the interest of trying to squeeze the last little bit of profit out of everything until it finally collapses :)

I cannot stress enough how very much OK it is to be wrong, and to admit it. It is of no value to you intellectually or psychically to refuse new information or to be unwilling to defer. That momentary ache of pride is meaningless when compared to the joy of learning something new.

How about an expansion of the "Werewolf" social deduction game where instead of killing the werewolf, everyone wants to smooch the werewolf, and whoever opens their eyes during the "night" phase ends up in a big smooch pile and in the morning have to try to cover their tracks

BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional. The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
