I read news so you don’t have to (but you still should).


Trump is certainly a big enough asshole.


All I expect from my VPN is protection from my ISP seeing exactly what I’m doing and selling those data to advertisers. If true anonymity online is doable, there are far more steps to take to achieve it.


I’m relatively certain most of the masses you describe are still unaware they’re being used.
They hear words they like, which come along with actions they can’t even put in their reality, so they must be fiction. I’ve been in an abusive relationship. It’s rather like classic Star Trek: No matter how traumatic an experience was, you wake up in the morning, and it’s all been reset. You pretend it didn’t happen, because if you start seeing a pattern, you suddenly see the problem, which is a very human response.


I’m pretty sure there haven’t been hippie CEOs since Ben and Jerry.


That worked out swimmingly for them.


Because 90% accuracy is acceptable for financial institutions …


We already had a five-year failure to get the whole thing started. She shot me down in 2004, and it took me not realizing I’d reached out to her at that point to make 2009 possible.
In fairness, her kids would have been 1 and 2 in 2004, and I don’t do diapers. Five years later, they were obviously 6 and 7, which was doable. But we’d not figured out ourselves yet.


She just texted me lamenting that she can’t hold me while she goes to sleep after a lousy day. And yes, I’m the little spoon. Also, once she moves closer to me, whatever this is is apparently over because kids and grandkids will consistently be there.


“No matter how bad you think it is …”


It’ll be irrelevant after the next squirrel he sees.

It is truly amazing to me that apparently no one ever ran into an emdash before LLMs. If humans didn’t regularly use them, they wouldn’t appear in the training corpus.


Going to have to challenge the math here … 20% of 10 is two, not four. Granted, HR may cull four anyway, but in terms of what LLMs can currently do, HR is a perfect thing to replace. Literally all they do is follow rules to benefit the company. Sounds a bit like coding to me …


In high school, we had a script to answer the phone: “It’s another great day at Boston Market, how can I help you?”
This was my first experience with malicious compliance. We weren’t told the intonation we should use, so “great day” dripping with sarcasm at the end of a double-shift technically passed.


Easy enough when you’ve got acreage in Maine!


With all due respect, if you need further info to see what he’s into …


I mean, if Sir David Attenborough is narrating the flies fucking, that’s gripping television, as opposed to whatever the fuck that was last night.


Who even needs the list?
Serious fucking “I can fix him” vibes. When you have longitudinal data going back decades and zero instances of “associate didn’t get fucked,” I question your business acumen.
