Call me old fashioned but this should be illegal and I side with @YouTube

Creators put hundreds of hours of work and Alphabet spends money streaming HQ videos but it should be given to you for free?

It's also very affordable...

Maybe but it's blocked in Switzerland because it's considered an "unlicensed online gambling site."

[Benjamin Freeman @benwfreeman1]

Kalshi is NOT a gambling company. Saying so is incorrect.

I assume that people calling Kalshi “gambling” are uninformed, rather than being defamatory, but

Kalshi is not “gaming.” It’s been decided in the courts. Please read the 15 pages of KalshiEx LLC v. CFTC (2024) before spreading misinformation

Another day working on clients' systems...

anthropic when they realize they can just fork the repo for free

[John Coene @jdatap]

This is yet another example of @rorysutherland doorman's fallacy.

Your daily reminder that we need to discuss the labor market situation!

MIT’s new “Iceberg Index” suggests today’s AI could already cover work equivalent to 11.7% of the entire U.S. wage bill – far beyond the visible tip of AI adoption in tech. I

nstead of just counting layoffs, the study simulates 151 million workers and 32,000 skills to measure where AI could step in, giving policymakers and companies an early warning system for where disruption (or productivity gains) is likely to hit next.

- AI is technically capable of performing tasks worth 11.7% of U.S. wage value, about $1.2 trillion across the economy

- The currently visible AI exposure in computing and tech roles is only 2.2% of wage value, around $211 billion – roughly one-fifth of the true technical exposure.

"safety" duh 🙄

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

It makes me sad that Councilmember @charlesallen is putting Waymo's DC launch next year in serious jeopardy because of nebulous "safety" concerns, disingenuous given the sterling safety record of that service in other cities, particularly when compared to human drivers.

[John Coene @jdatap]

@brodriguesco Let me push ffs :(

[John Coene @jdatap]

🎉I'm looking for an #rstats software engineer to work with me next year!

@brodriguesco How many {rix} installations does it take to unlock the vehicle?

[John Coene @jdatap]

@dmi3k Woops. Fixed!

[John Coene @jdatap]

Still pretty chuffed to have built a URL shortener with #rstats using the {ambiorix} framework.

🪲Small bug with displaying of stats is now fixed

(it's open-source)

@brodriguesco How is chickwts and the mother doing?

[John Coene @jdatap]

@brodriguesco Congratulations!

[John Coene @jdatap]

@theo You needlessly (and childishly) involved your business in this, how was this acceptable?

It's still the first thing one sees when visiting @t3dotchat...

can’t believe you guys let theo ratio ffmpeg, smh

@functi0nZer0 "Windows app coming soon"

👋New version of Styler supports shorthands, e.g.: `m-t-` instead of `margin-top-1`

[John Coene @jdatap]

@brodriguesco @jcmoravec Agree, it's a horrible idea.

If you tell everyone you can break their shit anytime you want they won't build anything with it (and rightly so).

It's not an issue of reproducibility.

[John Coene @jdatap]

I think it was attempting to get you to stay at work longer, might as well stay: there's food, sleeping pods, laundry, day care, etc.

This model is made redundant by WFH: why bring all the stuff from home to work, just WFH.

[terminally onλine εngineer @tekbog]

i worked at an office like this for almost 2 years and i can confirm that just like with any other things in society you have 10% of the people doing insane things generating revenue while other 90% do nothing, however u need this type of environment to attract the top 10%
