Increasingly concerned re: people offloading vital cognitive processes by using GIF replies. Expressing snark with words is a core part of being human, don't let some GIF picker widget a startup preloaded with clips of mid range TV shows take that from you!

The preferred term is "person experiencing spreadsheets." When you use the term "spreadsheet people," it turns into their identity and suggests that there is no possibility for change. Spreadsheets are what they are going through right now. It is not who they are.

Funny to see "Four Seasons Landscape" in the wild.

A truck on the road in Los Angeles from "Four Seasons Landscape" company.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as an LLM, is in fact, Harness/LLM, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Harness plus LLM. LLM is not a consumer product unto itself, but rather another expensive component of a fully functioning text-generation system made useful

something sort of insane is that we have non-trivial evidence that posting is the top of all possible hierarchies of needs. some of the richest men in the world who could be on their mega-yachts choose to not only post, but orient their lives around posting related things

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

You know, if we move the planned Santa Monica/La Brea station over a little, we can eminent domain this for a station entrance and never have to look at it again

California makes it easy and cheap to build new homes in the inland areas that will be over 100° today. We make it difficult and expensive to build new homes near the coast, where it will be 78°. Reserving temperate, climate-safe urban areas near the coast exclusively for the wealthy is unjust.

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII
