There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.

THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE.

I'm pleased (smug, even) to report that it took me less than a year of incessant memes and shitposts to get my entire organisation raccoon-pilled. All of the teams changed their logos. One of the managers changed their profile avatar. #impact

[Paul Terra @junyer]

Pairing "Open Source Pandas Office" with a logo of a raccoon might be my favourite version of this joke so far.

The Zionists' Prayer

It isn't a genocide.
And if it is, it isn't that bad.
And if it is, we didn't start it.
And if we did, we aren't comparable to Nazis.
And if we are, Palestinians don't want peace.
And if they do, you can't stop us anyway.
And if you can, that's AnTiSeMiTiSm.

You better hope the IDF doesn't "accidentally" bomb your wahmbulance, mate.

[Yizhak Ben-Shabat (Itzik) @CVPR @sitzikbs]

I was deeply offended by a slide in a recent talk at #CVPR2024 that falsely accused my country of genocide. Such baseless political statements have no place in our scientific community. Let's keep our focus on advancing science and leave politics at the door. @CVPR

I knew I had mumbled something about this before... https://t.co/sMC2RqmYnl

With Brzozowski derivatives, AND and NOT are just as easy to implement as OR; apparently, so is XOR. I'm thinking that XOR(a,b) being the empty set would be sufficient to establish equivalence, @thingskatedid?

[Paul Terra @junyer]

Had the "pleasure" of tracking down a colleague's test failure to some documented behaviour (albeit documented by one sentence buried in a yuge `.md` file) that requires two DDL statements' conditions to be identical... as determined by regular expression pattern string equality.

[Paul Terra @junyer]

Using "AI" shit ("prompt engineering") is like doing SEO shit in that it's stringly-typed "programming" with less programming and more ritualistic hoping that your vibes will sparkle just so with The Algorithm™. Abandon rationalism and RETVRN™ to empiricism!

[Felipe O. Carvalho @_Felipe]

Influencers telling other that CS is useless for SwEng, LLMs being better at programming than someone that has studied programming for many months, CEOs saying AI will replace programmers... All this misplaced consensus mean there is a lot of alpha in knowing CS and coding.

[Paul Terra @junyer]

Currently reminiscing about "Black & White" for some reason. https://t.co/OP42reQkP2

What's next, ACM? "We miss you, and we want you back! As much as you will want your loved ones back wh^H^Hif they go missing. But if you simply renew your lapsed ACM Professional Membership, we will guarantee that none of your loved ones will ever go missing. (Conditions apply.)"

[Paul Terra @junyer]

"We miss you, and we want you back! Renew your lapsed ACM Professional Membership today and receive a 15% one-year Membership Discount."

It expired nearly six months ago! What the motherloving fuck is this desperation shit about?

I used to nap after getting home from a rave, so I'm unsurprised that your cat would do the same thing.

[Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura @arnesa_kustura]

Just as there is religious psychosis, I truly believe what we are seeing out of Israel is collective ethnonationalist psychosis. I have long called the behaviour of ethnonationalists, particularly in the case of Greater Serbia ethnonationalists, as “ethnonationalist delusion”.

[Paul Terra @junyer]

One factor would be Zionist hypocrisy: sobbing about being the world's greatest victims juxtaposed with striving to become the world's greatest villains. Another factor would be Zionist bloodthirst: circulating on social media the evidence of their crimes and clamouring for more.

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

Some of you need to think about why you talk about Israelis so differently than you talk about people from other countries committing human rights atrocities especially in the face of widespread demands for Netanyahu to take the ceasefire

[Paul Terra @junyer]

Removing them completely seems drastic. Why not try just removing their heads first?

[ÐEATHCỘRE ĐOGGY (Raccoon) @SAMOYEDCORE]

it seems the only way Colossal Order were able to fix the intractable problem of rent constantly rising far faster than anyone would ever be able to reasonably pay was to simply remove landlords. in cities skylines 2 i mean. there is no real-life lesson we can take away from this

[Amanda Gelender🔮 @agelender]

The incessant Zionist lie that Palestinians resisting occupation are motivated by antisemitism (rather than anti-colonialism) necessarily presumes that if Palestinians were occupied by non-Jews, they simply ~wouldn’t resist~

Truly asinine, defamatory, ahistorical propaganda.

These also happened at work yesterday:

There's a full moon for brainworms, I guess.
