“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Really happy with this talk giving a comprehensive update on #CarbonLang - youtu.be/WJl4ftb5Fxg - Updated syntax we've landed on - The _amazing_ C++ interop that is working and implemented now - A nice, brief sneak-peak at the memory safety model (instead of the 2-hour deep dive) #NDCToronto

The @ndcconferences.com NDC Toronto videos are starting to appear! I see 5 at the moment www.youtube.com/@NDC/videos including talks by @nikpayuk.bsky.social @tvaneerd.bsky.social and @chandlerc.blog

The Argentinian player that scored the 1st goal against England, is the same one that uploaded a social media video of himself singing racist and transphobic songs about Black French players. The transphobia was included to insult Kylian Mbappé, and to isolate trans people from public life.

My LinkedIn is full of posts by former Microsoft colleagues who accepted the voluntary retirement offer. I counted at least 9 posts from people I worked with in the past. For some reason, it felt even sadder than layoff posts. It was hard to put into words until this post from a now ex-Microsoftie.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has delivered on his signature campaign promise after New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to approve the first-ever two-year rent freeze in the board's history for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

And my favorite pull quote:

A must read IMO. I'm not saying I agree with literally every point, but this is IMO the closest stance on AI to my own, and a really well written one so it's a pleasure to read. =]

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you dislike the Democratic party and think that you can do better, then please run for our nomination!♥️🗳️ If you win, they become your resources. If they help you win, they're your volunteers. Ask Dems to invest time, money, and energy. Many will say yes.

Hilarious! 😂 “AI Economics For Dummies”, McSweeny’s (www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...). #AI #Economics #Satire #Humor #Parody #Funny #Business #Investing #Bubble

Happy Juneteenth! When we celebrate the time that racist Texans tried to keep slavery going for another 2 years after abolition. But "the news🤡" of abolition reached their slaves! By "the news" I of course mean Black soldiers from the United States Colored Troops that liberated the Black Texans.

writing my second response on AI, this one on ethics. here's my list, what am I missing? come on bsky, you were built for this day 😉 * datacenters that are too loud and use fresh water * data labeling work that is extractive & exploitative, chasing low pay * models trained on data without consent

This talk was so much fun, thank you to Kate and everyone who has made this awesome conference series possible!

1. Your coworkers shouldn’t be the first humans to have read what you produce. Vetting the content is on you. 2. If you’re using AI, you have no excuse for the content being lengthy and verbose. Conciseness is a prompt away. (2/2)

There. Are. No. Women. Aged. 15. Girls. You mean girls. Racists keep trying to spin declining child abuse and the resultant teen pregnancy as a bad thing. It's not.

Can we get back to not being such a weirdo country soon please? I can't keep getting cooked in the group chat like this.

My new favorite rebuttal to tired citations that women are "in general" and "consistently" less competitive and less willing to take risks. Also some seriously fabulous research work.

There is no ethical way to become or remain a billionaire. Thank you for coming to my TED talk,

Way to freaking go Europe!!!! www.erininthemorning.com/p/european-p...

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It's hilarious to me how much white Dems are like "Yes ICE is terrible. Yes cops do exactly the same things as ICE, at 10x to 100x the scale, but they target Black people, so that's OK! We have to be careful what arguments we make about ICE, or we will immediately have to reckon with the police."

This fundraiser was so successful that I’m doing another one! The extra funds that were set for the first family went towards the second family’s total rent need. Let’s keep it going!

(repeating a question asked repeatedly over the years) Partner: Why did we ever abandon Disco? (context: Disco is the most hilariously upbeat and happy music genre) (for the first time offering a real answer) Me: Because we realized, eventually, that the timeline we were on didn't _deserve_ Disco.

I know lots of folks are sending free whistles where they are needed. But if I am happy to buy some and help fund those and related efforts, any recommendations for where to buy them?

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

DAILY MEMO: ICE Continues to Use CHP and Local Police Resources Despite California's Sanctuary State Policy Around 40 people were kidnapped from Santa Paula to Riverside, with more than half from the City of L.A. in the last three days. @eltragon.bsky.social

If you want to know where Silicon Valley is at these days, this story doesn't mention that one reason the pro-murder VC in this story works at this fund because he was fired for sexual harassment from his prior job at Square.

Another thing you can just do -- go into the replies, and donate to one of the families. Or all of them.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Almost every reason people have for defunding or abolishing ICE is also a reason to defund or abolish the police, yet many people who are rightly calling for action against ICE would never come close to doing to the same for police. But this fight goes beyond just ICE. ICE represents a larger issue.

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

Somewhere in the US != MN, relatively safe, financially stable, especially if you're white, and wondering what you can actually do to help? Can seem daunting (did to me)... www.standwithminnesota.com Scroll down, randomly pick 5 things and donate what you can. Now you've done something.

I mean, read all the posts pointing out the women's work that has _always_ kept things going for these dudes (and myself and other dudes!)... But also, bankrolling you say? Why yes, we (those of us not in MN and currently safe) _can_ bankroll this thing!!!! www.standwithminnesota.com
