reducing going from 2^n to 2^(n/sqrt(log(n))) is such an ugly result, but i have no idea if this one will get reduced further like the integer multiplication constant

In person the front lower turret was pretty clearly visible

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Like many others I assumed this was funny hyperbole -- "call in the national guard!" type of thing -- but no it's a description of events.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Part of the reason the cowardice of 2025 was so fucking stupid is that that was the time to get it back with "costly" signals you wouldn't pay any actual electoral cost for. Instead the Senate decided to dig the party into an even deeper hole.

Anyone reading FL early vote numbers and using them to debate the national environment needs to find a better balance of medications

and beyond that, on some level you should want them to be publicly upset with you, because it sells the vice your trying to sell if im a stupid transphobic bigot, seeing trans people hate a candidate is going to be a stronger signal that we're aligned than 1 ad would be

Bark@smorc.bsky.social

regardless of if its good strategy or not, you cant vice signal and then also get upset that the targets of your vice signaling are very upset about it

what kind of raw vote margin does this get you if you assume everyone here voted the same way as 2024

Dj@djsoke.bsky.social

update after day 5

ok with some poor assumptions, EV partisan breakdown the same as total vote, precincts keep their same margin as 2024 I get a lead for dems of 172k votes 199k to 105k in dallas 277k to 207k in harris 129k to 121k in tarrant

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

Huge success! Even got a visible brand name unfortunately no date stamped into the metal but should narrow it down. I if I had to guess it’s been there since the neighborhood was built in the late 50s or early 60s

This was well after 2003 but as an 11/12 year old half following tutorials and half just messing around on cheap webhosting I definitely remember just doing chmod -R 777 on whole directories trying to fix php errors I don’t know if I figured that out myself or a guide taught me originally

Erica Windisch@ewindisch.ontological.observer

In the days before container images, we had a problem. Most developers either didn't know Linux, or knew just enough to cause damage. Devs regularly ran `chmod -R 777 ~` to fix problems when their PHP apps errored accepting file uploads. Typically, only file permissions isolated tenants

I am once again asking when a state bar is going to address this horrendously unethical conduct by one of their licensed attorneys.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

this is something evidently literally no one cares about, or neither me or claude could figure out what to search for before doing this method

found a few more examples, including 1 that might even still exist (2025 imagery has it), all the others were removed between 2012 and 2022
