Tim Banks: VibeRel Advocate

In today’s episode of “People Without A Basic Understanding of Thermodynamics”

Still settling in to our new place in east austin, but I absolutely adore it and mornings on the patio are especially lovely.

Got dolled up for a show earlier this week

Happy SBR/SBS/Suppressor day to those of you who celebrate

Ian has dedicated their life to helping and advocating for others. Let’s get together and help them out if you can.

I feel terrible asking this, but my debit card got stolen and I don’t currently have the funds in my account to cover some upcoming payments while I sort the dispute out with the bank. If anyone could help spot me, I would really appreciate that! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater

Got my professor bars today. This is meaningful. Not everyone who can *do* can *teach*. This is the recognition that I can do both

That one time I world championships when I was floating

I’m not too shabby either

Every now and then I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming because my partners are absolute smoke shows, in addition to being so incredibly smart, talented, kind, and loving. I love these women more than I can ever adequately express. @abgushte.bsky.social @hazelweakly.me

For my birthday last week, i got engaged to @abgushte.bsky.social 🥰🥰🥰

I did use Claude to help me format this idea out because I’ve never DM’d before. And it says 4, but we could possibly do 6.

Finding out that the universe will not experience heat death makes me glad I didn’t go long on space heaters.

On Sept 8 at 12:00 ET, we bring back former panelists, @elchefe.me (GenX), and @cassidoo.co (Millennial), and Divyasha Pahuja (GenZ) to talk about how all 3 generations can help each other in our new AI reality. Don’t miss it: buff.ly/tsuraZ2

I loved building a Linux distribution as an engineer, contributing to Fedora, and before that as a Security Product Manager. I’m looking for new opportunities that contributing to open-source projects, in roles like Solutions Architect, Forward-Deployed Engineer, Dev Relations Engineer, or Product.

Happy “No Longer Have to Register Suppressors or Short Barrel Rifles” Day!

exactly 💯 on LLMs: they simulate the output we call language, not the cognitive capacity we call language!

The way intersectionality drains from these liberal white women when the topic goes from men working to dismantle the patriarchy and transphobia to white women working to dismantle white supremacy and colonialism…

Remember when all the liberals said we were crazy for wanting to defund police? Shit like this is what happens when they have too many resources.

This should probably get a lot of attention

To be clear for non-tech followers: an LLM can only output content, such as text or images. That has no impact on the world until we make it so. Text output can be commands or tools called. But we have to explicitly wire those tools to the tool caller. If you do that without controls, that's on you.

Best I can do is a “beans don’t belong in chili” dad

The secret service have shot multiple innocent bystanders around the White House this year. The secret service has also been involved in at least 2 self-inflicted GSWs this year. In an era where ICE agents are shooting up our streets, the secret service has been able to stay under the radar.

Leave it to Meta to delete my story naming David Brouillette, the ICE officer who murdered Joan Guerrero in Biddeford, ME on Monday. FWIW, Brouillette lives in the Bangor area, is a realtor for Realty of Maine, has a wife named Emma and two daughters. All publicly available information.

Can someone explain why I had to deal with this? I check Texas SB 2420 and they only covers the App Store

It looks like this:

Every liberal white dude who defends platner needs to be introduced to the jiujitsu submission called The Twister.

Rooting for Argentina is like rooting for the patriots (derogatory)

I’m unaware of terms like mudoko dako, quimbandas, chibados, or other pre-colonial African genders being used as slurs locally, but I’m very willing to be wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yessssss!! Fuck the Dutch team!!

One thing you can count on from the Dutch team is to have exactly no honor or integrity. Morocco should have attacked while that Dutch player was down because the Dutch certainly weren’t going return the favor.

Any side sleepers have pillow recommendations? It’s time to replace mine.

Seeing the videos of this and I was struck by how the police didn’t try to insert themselves into this and the crowd opened the way for the stretcher and helped get him down off that roof. I’m telling you, the city is different now, in the best way possible.

The evergreen pansexual internal debate: is that person hot or do I just like their glasses?
