No, they claim they can't "avoid accountability" by withdrawing services in the UK. What Imgur cares about is where its staff live and work and pay taxes, which is America. The odds that America will cooperate in going afte

This is sort of silly. Everyone has to "mask" at work. I do not care if the HR lady tells you to "bring your whole self". Unless your whole self happens to be precisely what they want, it is a lie. And nobody is that con

50g is quite a lot of meth, dozens and dozens of doses even at the heavier user quantities: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.09.25327334v... That is almost certainly distribution as well. McMillan p

Beff has shipped zero chips and shitposted a lot. It is a cool idea but he has made tons of promises and it's starting to seem more like vaporware. Don't get me wrong, I hope it works, but doubt it will. Less podcasts more buildin

Big4 audit all have a leech class of boomer audit partners who won't let the advisory arm separate and want money. This is a great new income stream. Figure deloitte in particular will make out like bandits on this.

Shoot that's what I get for staying off twitter and email for a week. Glad newsletters provide a little bit of a cushion these days but hopefully someone snaps her up.

I want the bot to do the drudge work, not me. I want the bot to fix lint errors the linter can't safely autofix, not me. You're talking about designing a kitchen where robots do the cooking and humans do ingredient prep and dishwa

Classes are a different story, but at least for the legion of would-be gymfluencers that show up in gyms frequented by us zoomers, there's an easy solution: tell them to please not film you. If they don't comply, mess up their vid

Yeah, don't you think a. there would be less PE demand for these hospitals if they didn't come with a free state-enforced local monopoly, and b. it would be easier for competitors that don't suck to open up, and c. PE guys co

Nvidia has consistently done this with Coreweave, Nscale, really most of its balance sheet investments are like this. On the one hand there's a vaguely cogent rationale that they're a strategic investor and it sort of makes sense

Given the amount of time I've spent wrestling toolchain unpleasantness, particularly for old or embedded systems, I will happily go take a fifteen-minute coffee break while the bot does it for me. Of course, I will probably do this wit

There are two main reasons companies will block types of payments: material downside, like high chargeback risk, and reputational damage. It completely makes sense that certain things should be relegated to working with pmt processors who h

Seems like a simpler way to prevent “distress” is not to train with an aversion to “problematic” topics. CP could be a legal issue; less so for everything else.

Mangione is going to either die rotting in prison, or preferably get sent to the electric chair. His life will be wasted. Meanwhile, UNH is continuing to do business as usual. One way or the other, mangione will die knowing his life was was

Apple still holds the license to the arm arches/designs they've used. There's enough customization applied that I'd guess Apple could function absent ARM, even if it's not the ideal scenario for them. Plus Britain a

There’s probably some difference between someone who is visibly an adult and mature vs more deeply entrenching pathways of arousal in response to someone who is visibly a child. I still find the adult fetish version repellent but it’s also

It’s not unreasonable to suspect that engaging in high-fidelity simulations of these behaviors will further entrench and worsen paraphilias. This is pretty evident with the progression of many pornography addictions that don’t include these

I’m not especially in favor of all of Khan’s actions but this was an accretive acquisition prospect for Adobe in a way that makes it worth more to them vs as a standalone company. Think how Urchin Analytics was worth a lot to Google but les

There are huge differences in principle and practice between "no bad person should benefit" and "we should minimze the number of bad people who benefit and the extent to which they benefit." The former makes basically an

Rationing is precisely what we want to do: I have x usage this week; let me determine precisely how much I can use without going over. Hoarding implies a less reasoned path of “I never know when I might run out so I must use as little as

You can tell how it’s intentional with both OpenAI and Anthropic by how they’re intentionally made opaque. I cant see a nice little bar with how much I’ve used versus have left on the given rate limits so it’s pressuring users to hoard. Bec

Because the odds of something 5x the average that's more or less normally distributed are really, really low. It's the same as how although you can occasionally get a "natural" person over seven feet tall, it's very

When you consider with which woman to conceive children, consciously or unconsciously, you are engaging in eugenics. It’s fine. Forced sterilizations aren’t but we’re not talking about those. There isn’t a set of magic words people use (eug

If you marry someone to whom you’re attracted, check she’s mentally stable, reasonably healthy, aka reproductively fit, then you’re engaging in eugenics. Eradicating downs is eugenic. It’s also a good thing.

I mean this is obviously a false dichotomy. A few years ago I could have said that when you let bots interact with users you always got Tay. I refuse to believe that our options are a bot programmed to sound like the guardian or one that wa
