Do you own your own house? Are you rich? I’ve known acquaintances who got de facto evicted without warning just because their landlord decided to make a few extra bucks. Were that to happen to me, I would not be able to rent in my current c

It could well be the case that the growth of white identitarianism is almost entirely driven by white supremacist media moguls, who are unfathomably rich and shape the zeitgeist to a large degree. See also: antisemitism in Nazi Germany. I’m

Maybe native Brits should make more babies? Or maybe the powers that be should enact changes to make native baby-making more compelling? Dunno what to tell you. Without immigration, the wheels fall off completely.

That’s on you to prove. Is this an “obvious” truth? Or is it just the narrative spun by the fascists and fear-mongers who, incidentally, own some of the biggest media platforms in existence? Today, a man stabbed four people in islamophobic

“We don't solve the climate crisis” You can stop right there. Whatever we’re doing to prevent global disaster from new technologies is not working .

Consider this a form of consensus-building. What do we want as a community? What values do we want our colleagues and peers to have? That’s what gets my upvote, anyway.

Is making a throwaway to post extremely dumb shit on a tech website really the best use of your time?

Guns are unpopular in blue states for obvious reasons. I suggest you abandon this desire instead of fruitlessly wallowing in rage for the rest of time. It just seems unpleasant.

If there is nuance to the word “shark” in different languages, it’s very likely that LLMs will bias towards the mainstream, Western one. See: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/celesteheadlee_who-gets-cited...

This… this is just a low-content marketing page. Have we really sunk so low?

Having mingled and worked at length with PhD-level folks in both STEM and the social sciences, rest assured: social scientists are some of the smartest researchers out there, almost to a frightening degree. So your dismissal is genuinely ch

Because dekulakization is definitely the path we’re on right now, not oligarchic domination. What trillionaire? Thanks for making my point for me.

Americans: terrified of an imagined threat, completely oblivious to the active threat right in front of them.

I can’t wait to implement similar LLM wards in my code — maybe phrased/scattered stochastically throughout my header files. Kudos to the author for this idea; in concert with a license, it seems like a great path forward for those of u

“X psychosis” and “x derangement syndrome” are just idiotic thought terminators for when you don’t have an actual argument to make. Don’t take the bait.

Yes, Native Americans ought to get their land back. (What do you mean “no, not like that”?)

If you read other things these industrialists say, it’s clear that their actual argument is a xenophobic/white supremacist one. The panic is entirely political, not economic. We have no shortage of viable immigrants to keep the economy

Great article! We’ve become so accustomed to UI jank these days…

There used to be (is...?) an xkcd IRC chatroom where you were only allowed to post things that had never been said before. Violations resulted in an n-minute ban, increasing with each violation. Maybe this is the future of all (interesting&

“I don’t care how many people die as long as my ideology wins.” Sounds familiar.

It’s trivial to attack things in space if you also have stuff in space. Just ram your cheap satellites into the other guy’s. Do it right and the destruction will cascade.

I've never been more frustrated programming something than when I tried to build a non-trivial Shortcut. Things that I could have expressed in a quick script took me literal hours to compose and debug using the WYSIWYG interface. And

I do enjoy reading about what the Swift team is doing. (And other folks working on the lower decks — kernel, Foundation, etc. The AI brainrot hasn't seeped down there yet.)

Actually, the outside world is in a constant state of low-grade rage at how poorly software works these days. Slop code will only accelerate this trend. For the most part, people don’t need a thousand new features; the investment class does

Means of production, yadda yadda… I feel a great sense of deja vu.

You think Anthropic wants to be the sole maintainer of thousands of forked OSS projects...? I seriously doubt that would happen, for legal, marketing, and logistical reasons alike.
