“The study, which used … large language models to generate 576,000 code samples, found that 440,000 of the package dependencies they contained were ‘hallucinated,’ …” This industry feels like it’s trying to set a land speed record with neither a helmet nor a seat belt. It’s absolute bollocks.

What’s absolutely nutsy bonkers about this is that if you look closely at the two charts, it looks like the one Poilievre posted was *modified* to make it look like Canada was worse than any other country. A tale of the tails, if you will.

Tomorrow is my birthday and today I discovered that that the godawful slog I’ve been doing for materials to engineer my FSD could be bypassed with a pre-built Asp Explorer for a nominal ARX fee and happy f*ckin’ birthday to me, I can finally go EXPLORE and stop grinding! 🎂🥳🚀 #EliteDangerous

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (Hard mode, etc - no ST, SW, LOTR)

Recently got back to #EliteDangerous and I have to say, I find that I don’t have any desire to get Odyssey, I’m totally happy exploring. Shades of COVID when I really didn’t want to interact with anyone, just wanted to fly to exotic distant systems to find exciting, unusual planets, and scan them.

Hey, check it out - the party of small government is coming for your brain, your uterus, your 401(k), *and* your mortgage. How efficient.

I agree with Mike, and I believe this is part of the plan to create a large, low-wage, controllable population that can man all of their garment factories and screw in all those tiny screws in iPhones. Large families with subsistence incomes are controllable because they can't fight back or leave.

Don’t you just hate it when the rendition and deportation machine comes for the local college basketball team?

When I see the economy crashing and I hear people say they “didn’t vote for this”, I can’t help but think that they wanted the *other* stuff he’s known for. They voted for the hate, for the freedom to be bigots in public, for the kidnappings and renditions, for the destruction of our democracy, etc.

It's official! I've got my Part 107 Remote Pilot's license (sUAS pilot), at least the temporary certificate. I'm now rated to fly any single-engine (land) aircraft up to 12,500lb and any small UAS under 55lb. Now...proficiency flights.

Well, I missed the deadline for #TonyTonyTony, but I’m not giving up. I’ve been traveling more than expected, which, when combined with my other activities, conspired to limit my availability. BUT I thank you all for getting me back to this. Look for more additions to my thread later this month!

I’m worried I won’t complete the #TonyTonyTony by the end of March, but I’ll do my best. Still, heck of a month! I completed: * my private pilot currency * C182 transition * high performance endorsement * G1000 endorsement * Part 107 drone pilot’s license requirements AND I earned my CAP wings!

Starting a 🧵 with details on my homemade airbrush booth to share. I built mine out of foam core board (aka foam board) using plain old grey duct tape. Anywhere I needed rigidity, I folded the edges into triangles (e.g. front sides and top). #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels @revrachelmann.bsky.social

It’s been a helluva week, and I’ve been so busy as to be absent from social media (which actually made for a great week!) and just want to crow: I’m a pilot again! I’m current and have the CAP endorsements I’ve wanted & sewed the wings on today. It feels so good, above all else, I can fly again

I have never felt so seen here. This is *exactly* why I wandered away from the FP feed. Well, this and the random x-rated art that would pop up
