Today I’m thinking of what it said on the first page of the brochure I got when immigrating

wonder how the “our ICE contract was only $200,000” githubbers feel these days

artificial MSG is produced using mold and some kind of substrate (usually corn), purified by a chemical process, which is possible to react to. and artificial MSG is linked to migraines like mine, by… studies! and we figured it out due to doritos and hidden valley ranch, not racism.

"reasoning model" is kind of like "gourmet deli" - if it was true you wouldn't need to put it in the name, because it would be self evident. It's only there as a counter argument against the evidence of your eyes.

Where I am mentally

Can you imagine paying for AI when human artists exist?

My middle schooler came out last year. Their friends at school happily accepted new name and pronouns. My 3rd grader happily accepted new name and pronouns. All of our friends' kids, some as young as 3, happily accepted new name and pronouns.

INIT HELLO: Sat-Sun July 26-27, just north of Baltimore at a fantastic computer museum, featuring Apple II-inspired workshops, talks, contests, and other enthusiasts. Details in the linked post. Lots of people have already signed up, but there's still room! init-hello.org/2025/06/init...

no YOU just said “how sharper than a serpent’s tooth to have a thankless child!” to your dog who took a pill from your husband instead of you, you who spent a year of your life tirelessly working to rehabilitate said anxious dog

What an image

Instead of screenshotting the random chucklefucks who are purposefully misunderstanding this, and ignoring the actual fucking issue of eugenics, I'm just blocking them = growth 💐

Ok Blueski’s, post your old computers

Uhm

Don’t get gout, kids

when “intellectuals” whine that people ought to ignore the headline and read the article

Ah yes, conservatives

Seagull shit is here to stay. Can it ever be sanitary? Research shows that bird-generated excrement is remarkably foul. Yet seagulls tell CyberScoop it's up to industry to figure out a way to limit the issues they introduce by shitting on everything and then flying away.

This is where I skeet from

Builder.ai promised to revolutionize software development with AI, backed by Microsoft and valued at $1.5 billion masked manual labor as machine learning until the facade crumbled, leaving behind lawsuits, layoffs, & one of the industry's most embarrassing collapses www.techspot.com/news/108173-...

It's good to occasionally write some code just for the sake of it. Personally I enjoy trying to make make stuff purely functional (aka no variables or flow control); e.g. this will spit out a randomized (and idealized; in real life there's 2/3 face pieces) Rubik's cube configuration.

I was cool enough to be granted early access to watch the Sally film, and wow. Powerful, emotional, spectacular. Highly recommend checking it out when it officially releases on June 16th!

[old guy voice] Good news, everybody! My Tektronix 760A appears to work.

If any of you are wondering why we’re hearing more and more about quantum this and that, here we go: www.computerworld.com/article/3998...

What the AI firms mean is that their customers will no longer be able to use their models for copyright-infringement if they don’t copyright-infringe themselves

There’s a problem with right-wing assholes in the astronomy and astrophotography community, but otoh these are the icons of some of the biggest discord servers rn
