Legit state security risk. Who knows what confidential data people have sent C*rlson? I'd bet it's non-zero. If he loves America he should microwave that device ASAP.

My small gift to the world is that I dutifully unsubscribe to marketing emails I don't want to receive if they include a link ... and ruthlessly mark as spam any that don't.

I was fully Sark-pilled before this morning, but this is icing on the cake. What an incredible year!

LLMs just don't want to work anymore.

This shit. This shit right here is what's wrong with GPT-4 now. "Create a set of Pydantic objects to represent the objects in this list"

"Nah, do it yourself"

I would have killed for this in 2007, when I was a) not a proficient programmer and b) trying to do a bunch of text analysis for a linguistics course I had little business being in.

very nice addition (python now has a function for chunking a iterable in the standard library)

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

The words "heavyweight" and "stout" are immediate turnoffs. I want hoodies that northerners think are "comfortable even in July."

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

I like this dude but it's increasingly clear he's never spent a single month south of the Mason-Dixon.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Hoodies for fall

1. Brut: heavyweight 420gsm fabric; bartack instead of strings
2. Camber: MiUSA; very stout. Produced for Very Ape and Engineered Garments Workaday
3. Re-Done at Canoe Club: Boxy fit, oversized hood. Dig the color
4. Vintage Russell: Boxy fit. Check eBay, Etsy

My kid is about to turn 7 and is already so sick of my shit. The next 11 years are going to be fun - honestly can't wait.

as a millennial dad I’ve never not been Too Online so I know the best combination of buzzwords to maximize being annoying to my tween; she got a meatball sub for lunch and I said “oh she in her marinara era for real” and the eye roll could have powered our house for a year

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@youarestars Normally in Austin but celebrsting 15 happy years in NYC right now. Still get heady over y'all's April show in ATX and how kind @torquilcampbell was. Hoping for a repeat when things align.

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@jon_bois I live in Austin. Want me to swing by and ask 'em?

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@flooorin I don't have a talk prepared, but I'll be there!

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@clairevo C watched me play a not-small amount of Hades and I made myself feel better about it by using it to introduce her to Greek mythology.

@JeremiahLee I've followed your work for ~9 years and only ever known you as Jeremiah Lee.

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@PetrelliNico @ryNNwth @JomboyMedia I'm so curious! I can believe that there probably aren't a lot of people outside of the team who know the full story.

[Jeremy Boyd @jeremyjboyd]

@ryNNwth @JomboyMedia If you have line of sight to the catcher's signals, you could give the batter a heads up on the pitch. Gives the offense an unfair advantage. Why they were still buzzing when the runners were on base, idk - maybe the signal just goes to all of them.

"Every so often the US government thinks about defaulting on its debt for no particular reason" - @matt_levine today on the debt ceiling. So much shade thrown in such a superficially banal sentence. This is why I'm a subscriber.
