@bscholl I believe that tidal power generators also put drag on the moon as they too are harvesting power from the moon's orbit.

Today a Google bug started prompting people for TLS *user* certificates for "https://t.co/fmIP97QgVW". Seems to hit everyone across all browsers and OSes.

Sadly, Safari's dialog box for this is not a native window, but a non-draggable dickover. /cc @gruber

@SnazzyLabs No, they're useful. Useful idiots for Anthropic marketing, that is. This is at least the third time Anthropic has used this "too dangerous to release!" marketing ploy.

@BillKristol @atrupar Wait, did Bill Kristol finally meet a war of US aggression he didn't like?

@zoomafrika1 @RevBlackNetwork He wanted to establish sound money (gold dinar) and sell oil for gold, which would threaten the fiat petrodollar's status as the world's reserve currency.

@MikeIsaac My apologies Mike, I foolishly replied before watching the video and now I see I had the wrong latency question in mind. I guess I'll leave this up in case it keeps others from making the same mistake.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla He got northbound/southbound reversed in that last paragraph, but his point stands.

@Robotbeat This is giving me Portal 2 vibes of GLaDOS awakening in her wrecked chamber overgrown with plants and vines.

@LibertyCappy Joe Kent is a government spook. I wouldn't trust Massie if he took a spook as a running mate.

@esrtweet Why do you trust your ability to evaluate the quality of LLM-generated Rust code if you've never written a line of it? Wouldn't you be on the wrong side of Dunning-Kruger for that?

@LPNational @TedBrownLiberty If the kill switch becomes reality, I hope automakers put the kill switch circuit on its own fuse.

[John Saxton @Spiff]

@maxifirtman @n_cachanosky It is unwise to try to learn from "AI" (LLM chatbots). They are smooth bullshitters. If you don't already know the answer to a question, you are on the wrong side of Dunning-Kruger to spot a hallucination. You are practically begging to be fooled.

We either build a society that recognizes and responds to consent in an absolute fashion, as the most inviolable of values, or we live in a wilderness where violence is inevitable. I hope we finally choose to leave the wilderness.

@MHTruthUltra @AmberWoods100 Please don't dehumanize anyone. Despite the extreme evil some humans have done, all humans are still humans. Calling anyone monsters is a first step toward treating them monstrously. Please don't cross that line. Call out the evil, but don't dehumanize.

@n5zbz In California, it is illegal to pass a car that has stopped for a pedestrian at a marked or unmarked crosswalk. So what you were attempting to do would have been illegal in CA. Not sure about other states but may be similar. https://t.co/0541z37igo

@HBendaas @matthew_petti It kills me that they don't see stopping the genocide as a human moral imperative, they only care about how it affects their campaign strategy.

@BreannaMorello @DataRepublican Why did you grant anonymity to this source? Did you find an independent second source to confirm the material facts of this story?

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

@planet4589 Thank you for what you do, Jonathan. I hope your travel was refreshing.
