Why am I reading social media when I could be reading books instead?

International calls used to cost serious amounts of money. Now, hi def video calls across nations are practically free.

What a difference five years makes! From being hesitant to give out helmets, to buying missles!

With news like this, I think the less time I spend with my eyeballs on screens, the better.

I spent a few year working at a fabric and furniture shop and the characters we'd get would definitely make for a tv show.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Move over Doom scrolling, we're ddosing this brain. Distributed denial of sentience.

Develop your own nukes, arm yourself to the teeth, and dont give your arsenal up in exchange for any promises of security.

Looks like Zelensky found some cards and Fox and Friends don't like how he's playing them.

Over the weekend I watched an executive get cyberbullied on LinkedIn into deleting their posts about AI. Nature is healing.

How long before all these nerds will take the apple watch ambient listening feature to ruin their relationships?

russia's aggression is illegal. russia has no legitimate targets in Ukraine. Neither civilian nor military. None. Ukraine, on the other hand, has legitimate targets in russia — those aimed at weakening russia's ability to wage this war of aggression. It really is that simple.

Then: You don't have any cards. Now: Stop using your cards.

The article is about Russia systematically using drones to probe air defenses in Europe, looking for weaknesses to exploit. ​Why they call actual attacks "hybrid," though, is beyond me. Maybe if they just called them attacks, they’d actually have to do something about it. 🤷‍♀️

After realizing that most of what I'm reading is 1. Ai slop from LLMS at work 2. AI slop from LLMS on social media I've decided to read something written long before computers came out. I'm less than a dozen pages into "The Great Gatsby" and I already had to look up two words in the dictionary.

Why is 19th-century imperial logic that would sound grotesque and offensive when applied to any other country still considered acceptable when it comes to russia and Ukraine? Would many people seriously suggest that the US should return to British rule because Americans speak English?

I didn't have Ai hooked up to my IDE yesterday and after months of having Ai write code for me, I had to Google how to write a ternary operator. 😭😭😭

Met a brand new queen. She wasn't laying right. She went on to meet her maker.

Look at that queen!

That's $12.70 a gallon in freedom units.

Remember that in extreme heat the nearest free, air conditioned (or at least cooler), open for everyone and free space is your local public library. And they even have books for you to pass the time when you cool off!

I got mine, pre-order yours here www.routledge.com/The-Psycholo...

Nineteen russian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Shahed drones are raining down on Kyiv right now. This is horrific. The UNESCO-listed Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra has been targeted. A thousand years of Ukrainian history, faith, and culture are once again under attempted destruction.

In-game currency is always easier to spend than real money

Last night russia denazified a hospital in our area but hey at least candace fucking owens enjoys moscows architecture and russian athletes enjoy their fuckass anthem at sports events again

What Fred Brooks did not know is that a woman with an LLM can in fact produce a baby in a month.

Topologically, any woodworking tool is just a blade with an increasingly complex type of handle.

I got like four hives 🤔

The combination of nice weather and PNW Big Leaf maples blooming means that I just might get a bunch of spring honey. 🍯

Ridiculous hive update. I've split the hive and now it has a little baby hive

The first desktop app I really learned was AutoCAD. It had a CLI interface built right into the gui. Wanted a box? Yes you could click box icon, but you could also type box into cli and have the cli predict parameters of the box More tools need cli's like that.

I see so much job security for ops people.

Story points be like:

This is a ridiculous number of bees to have survived the winter. Looks like I'll have to do some preventative splits to avoid causing swarms in the neighborhood.

The russian aggression against Ukraine started on this day in 2014. It didn't begin in 2022.

It's a lot easier to measure that AI was used than that AI was useful.

Tired: WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get) Wired: WYPIWIG* (What You Prompt Is What You Get) * AI can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

Can your Ai model pass the Toto Test? Ask Something Get a response Tell the model it's not right If the initial response is correct, a model capable of knowing should insist that the answer is right. And if it just makes new stuff up, you have no guarantee that the first answer wasn't made up.

Two teams that share dependencies are just one big team.

The trick to not seeing cat hair is to get a blanket the same color as the cat.

Personally I think this sounds like a reasonable state with rational motives for its actions that can be expected to abide by a ceasefire and cooperate with us in exchange for some good-faith concessions, just like John Mearsheimer says

Dad came over and worked the bees with me. I have so much to learn
