Just consumed @aptshadow.bsky.social's "Green City Wars" from start to finish. Well recommended.
To be serious about it, this is a massive sign of a company in financial distress. Whiffing on a new HQ Building, and ending up with a property lot that appears underwater on demolition cost. And a. prelude of what's going to happen with a lot of Big Data Centre developments.

It indicates someone's character if they decide that questions about "Who actually owns the Worldcon trademarks" and "Are they properly organised and paying taxes correctly" are forbidden and ban worthy. But platform someone who actually sued a Worldcon and harasses writers and fandom members.

Seems like the US just straight up abandoned realistic contingency planning in the early 90s when they declared Cold-War victory and decided the US was the Worlds only Superpower. Then left reaction plans sit without updates, while ignoring war-games that suggested the US might could be challenged.
Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

The 26 year old evidence that Tim Sweeney has always been a corporate weasel. And no, he has never developed a complete game himself. He created one tool that let you write very limited video games, and has coasted on other people's work ever since. Of course he sees no problem with Generative AI.
Tim Sweeny's comment on the closure of Looking Glass Studios.

Reminder: Cryptography relies not on randomness, but entropy. A random selection of small numbers still has low entropy because they are inherently predictable and have a smaller possibility space. There are six outcomes from rolling 1d6. The randomness can be very random, but the entropy is limited

Did you know that some of the *real physically exhibited* symptoms of a 'panic attack' can look just like a heart attack, that can't be differentiated without a proper ECG. They *WILL NOT* shame you for going to ER with those symptoms.

Tesla, Twitter, Grok, Doge... Won't someone stop this man from murdering once beloved words and names?
He's also ruined "grok," using it as he does for an LLM that fundamentally fails, on multiple levels, the entire concept of "grokking." But this is the Billionaire Way, naming shit for things in their favorite books in ways that the original authors would likely look on in horror
