what are we even talking about?

[not just pixels @getifyX]

there is a large gap from "programming language types with conservative/simple syntax to cover 60-70% common" and "zomg exotic higher order type syntax that's turing complete and I ported Doom to it".

why don't devs see the former is useful and the latter is mental illness?

Will be changing cell phone provider after 12 years with @TMobile @tmobilenews @TMobileHelp because they are raising their rates for the 2nd time after promising to never raise rates.

I would rather pay more to an honest company.

Texas is officially the first state in the nation to mandate Bible study. I don't know who needs to hear this, but red states are closer to Sharia law than Zohran Mamdani's New York City.

Bad news at T-Mobile: What we thought were new fun plans turns out to be horrible price increases for legacy customers.

@JoshuaThePilot @chaotictwunkk @CinciGayGuy @TMobile I suspect the "fine print" here is, they're not changing the price on *that* plan, they're canceling that plan and forcing you to go away or pick a new plan.

I'm screwed in this too.

[nealiio🧝🏼 @chaotictwunkk]

anyone else wake up to a text from @TMobile saying their life locked guaranteed phone plans are suddenly “retiring” & that we will be moved to a newer plan with a $6 increase to our bill.

THIS ISNT IN MY SIGNED LIFE LOCKED GUARANTEED CONTRACT.

What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.

The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury's finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.

So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:

DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

THIS is what we think makes the game absurd? not the flopping? not the bullshit ref makes up whenever they want to extend or stop time stuff?

come the fuck on.

Los parámetros del VAR no existen únicamente para aplicarse al pie de la letra, también deben saberse interpretar.
Invalidar un gol agónico en un mundial porque la punta del zapato del jugador está adelantada, no hace al fútbol un deporte más justo; lo hace absurdo.

this is with just a couple of tabs open... is that because chrome is basically running the AI equivalent of bitcoin mining on my GPU in the background?

this is a campaign video for the democrats running for the house (and senate!)

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."

[Devin Jameson @devinjameson]

Anthropic will say things like, “Loops write 30% of our code,” and then burn an unfathomable number of tokens just to ship remarkably mid software.

The models are amazing. Claude Desktop and Claude Mobile? Genuinely bad. And apparently increasingly loop-generated.

It all feels backwards. It feels like a strategy to increase usage because loops can run 24/7. Anthropic benefits from the increased token usage, while the rest of us get more slop.

And I don’t just mean code slop. I mean product slop, design slop, prose slop. Another calorie-tracking app. Another landing page with *that* aesthetic. Another article that uses the term “load-bearing.” The progressive convergence of the web toward the mean.

No one wants this. We want less software that’s more thoughtfully crafted. And I don’t think we’re yet at the point where looping agents are going to give us that.

Or maybe I’m just a Luddite.

anyone have a way to ruin the cameras of these the way you can ruin flock cameras (of course, without injuring the wearer)?

“sir no cameras allowed in the venue”

“what camera”

@SaraForTexLege why is there nothing in your "model" of the problem which is about reducing the amount charged by the doctor/provider... telling them they just have to figure out/absorb less profit on the same quality of procedure?

why is cost of care always a constant in these debates?

@BrandonFFish @danielandre2005 @heynavtoor I finally scored a birdie after like 150 practice tries. https://t.co/3px3DSwxxC aint no way I'm getting eagle or better. :)
