This is a joke but serious too. Games are an effective messaging and behavior modification tool. This is spoken as a gamer, HCI expert, and game industry veteran. For every 10,000 people who play the game and separate reality from fantasy, one person will be swayed or radicalized by the message.

“It charges you for the thrill of feeling like you’re building or making something and, just like a casino — or online dating, or pornography, or TikTok — cares more about that monetizable loop of engagement, of progress, than it does the finished product.” www.garbageday.email/p/generative...

i like the idea but can anyone actually reproduce the 'hello world' problem described? this is just straight opus5.5 medium, but code-review also was similarly like "what do you want give me an actual problem"

I know the vast majority of you are here because of my art, but I need to share a thread about Brazilian politics because what we achieved today deserves to be mentioned and celebrated I'll do my best to be objective for those who have no idea what was happening

I'm sharing this (very long) thread for two reasons: 1. a real life example of how mobilized and determined population CAN change the tide against all odds 2. Trump and Flávio will very likely attempt something soon; stay tuned, because we might need help.

and the result? Lula won. 51,76% we fought against Meta, we fought against corrupt officials, corrupt mayors, we fought against the far-right and we won democratically we were in a severe disadvantage and we won

we understood the algorithm and through a WhatsApp channel we coordinated how to wreck it in our favor. regain visibility for our cause. people ~needed~ to know what was at stake if Flávio won

Well yeah, as long as they charge by the token the models are going to be tuned to churn through as many tokens as possible.

this thought is not specific to coding stuff but i wonder about the gap left every time a person didnt write anything. theres no record of any time someone thinks its better not to write anything. so by training on only the patterns in text that exists, itd be hugely biased towards making more text

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

this meme is one of my favorite these days

kind of crazy to me that my parents escaped vietnam during a war and arrived in north america, where they labored as a janitor and secretary so they could save enough money to send me to college, where i received a higher education, and now this is what i use my brain for

Code in a Box is unacceptable. Don't do a box at all at that point.

idt it’s even intentionally cheaping out, companies who do that just want to prevent secondhand sales. a whole different kind of greed

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Also, isn’t Vivian Elon Musk’s child (though he’s disowned her)? Lots going on here.

Definitely. Vivian looking hot after disabling what looks like one of those Tesla robots. Disobeying on multiple levels.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

Trump can’t even compete with the crowds Obama can attract on any given Sunday!

Separate creative work from labor. This is a useful distinction. Do I use AI to help me build from GitHub source? Hell yes. To decompress glb Draco textures? Hell yes. To create my game level? Hell no! To get my latest changes up to GitHub with dictated updates to the Readme? Hell yes.

🧊 THEY LIED TO THE COURT ‼️ The Eastern 767 (N703KW) flight to Equatorial Guinea that ICE claimed in court was canceled – in order to avoid returning a wrongfully deported man – just landed in Malabo 👀

Arrived today. It's like the best geography textbook my 11-yo self could have ever wanted.

Another factor is interdependence. Not everyone needs to be good at everything. But we need to 1. Be able to ID what skills are called for 2. Have community connections to people who can support each other. (This is why everyone comes to me when they need help with marketing copy or voter guides).

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

*I blame science fiction dystopias

US defense contractor cripples Pentagon system in the middle of a war. If it were anyone else, they would not only be in jail, but the government would probably move to seize the entire company.

Not worth the paper it’s written on.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Why do they do that all the time?

They're the best execution of the best AND worst parts of the industry. like yeah they blew mtx up in a big way but they also combined them with ugc so people can make money on their creations. Yeah Gabe owns yachts but he rents them to scientific research and actually lives on one not just parking

Gaming on Linux wouldn't be this good without Valve. They've done huge deal with Proton. The difference is crazy compared to 2018 when I started using Linux

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.
