Learning the joys of taking way too many pictures of myself. How do they look? Ngl definitely tempted to dip my toe into some spicier stuff but it'd prob have to be after this weekend and I'd maybe spin up an alt account for that? If there'd be any interest?

Me laying down in that black keyhole sweater from my earlier picture, looking directly at the camera, shot from what anthropologists refer to as a "myspace angle." hair still in a ponytail with the bangs free, but a little messier now.

Same general picture as the last one but with face pointed a little below the camera this time

same picture as the first but it got a lil blurry lol

Same picture as the 2nd one but now my expression is a lil moodier

Becoming a believer in what the gf has taught me as "The Bifecta:" having 3 beverages at all times: one for caffeine, one for taste, and water (and yes I've told her bifecta would mean two, but she insists it means "bisexual and she doesnt do that math shit.") System kinda fuckin works though.

Pictured, my variation of "The Bifecta," with coffee for the caffeine and tea for the flavor. Her variant typically features a redbull and a dr pepper.

Oh my GOD these references are only "unintelligible" if you have no experience with the humanities or other cultures AND can't perform a basic internet search. And this quote comes from a professor of languages and linguistics??? Please read some books. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

From the article QRP'd: When a Google agent said “True Kintsugi begins with accountability, not poetry”, the researchers realised kintsugi is a branch of Japanese ceramics in which broken pots are mended with visible joins. The AIs used the word to mean system resilience.

“The evidence provided in this research naturally raises certain monitoring concerns, as if we find inter-agent exchanges unintelligible, that may mean that we can’t be sure about what the agents have actually done,” he said.

An example search resuly showing exactly how prevalent the link between resilience and kintsugi is. Even if this wasn't a concept you knew previously, it would take all of 60 seconds to figure out the reference being made.

An interesting take in this Defector article that I'd like to provide an alternative theory to: The skill involved in driving a car well is not, actually, all that difficult, nor is it rare. But when bad driving can kill you, the ~30% who drive poorly will fuck things up for everyone else.

Quote from the QRP'd Defector article: It’s possible he was right, at least about me. I found driving terrifying. I believed then and still believe that operating a car is too difficult for human beings. This is obviously not true at the level of making a car move. Making a car move is easy. A rat can make a car move. But the level of skill involved in driving really well is not dissimilar from that required to be a concert pianist, if the pianist-centered movies I’ve watched are to be believed. Now imagine that in most parts of the country, leading a normal life required more or less constant piano playing. Now imagine that playing the piano badly killed people.

The only thing funnier to me than when someone suggests an overly technical solution to someone who's already found an easier solve is when it's always someone hawking browser plugins on mobile when "view desktop site" always works just as well.

A user "helpfully" suggesting changing mobile browsers and installing plugins to kill the reddit app poppup on mobile when both the OP and the person they are replying to have already stated they solves the issue with desktop mode.

No SERIOUSLY I want you to think about how much you paid in taxes this year. And then multiply by, let's say, 60 good working years in a lifetime. And then figure how many lifetimes of your taxes the Blue Angels throw away doing -97 million in recruiting benefit, EVERY year.

Excerpt from quoted article: For more than $98 million spent on the Blue Angels in a year, the Navy came away with less than $1 million in recruiting benefits, a negative 99% return on investment, the officers concluded.

If “goodwill” – things like the economic benefit of air show spending to nearby communities – the cost-benefit ratio narrows considerably, but still yielded a negative 41% return on investment, the study found.

“The costs outweigh the benefits,” the study said.

The more I read about animal research and particularly on intelligence/sentience, the more I think we have a major failing in basic critical thinking occurring. Evidence described here is "softer" than chimps or elephants because whales lack a mechanical ability to point. But the behavior described-

Excerpt from quoted article; "The one genuinely mark-directed behavior came from Natasha, who repeatedly pressed the marked area—behind her right ear—against the mirror. Without arms, she couldn’t point. It’s the strongest data point in the study, but a softer kind of evidence than a chimp or an elephant typically delivers."

I inhaled games reviews stuff from the minute I could read them up until probably 2010 or so and the number of reviews I've read that sound like the former rather than the latter is easily 5/95. Did we forget review-scorebro culture? If anything I think this ratio has improved in modern times.

“What this means is I’ve seen reviews go from ‘this game has less combat and more puzzles and dialogues for you to interact with than this other game’ to ‘this game is stupid and slow paced and made for casuals, I think you should skip it’.

“That’s a huge difference in how games are presented. But more people are going for that ladder. They’re like: ‘I don’t have time. There’s too many games. Just tell me whether I should buy it. Tell me if it’s for me.’ So they find someone they just like, and then that person’s opinion becomes their opinion.”

The most annoying thing about AI bros is how they all think they are god's put-upon special boy. "There's FRICTION and that FRICTION is keeping me from helping the world!" No, that friction exists to keep airheads from causing problems for things they know nothing about cause they got an idea crush.

"But now with an agent, you can just say, “Hey, can you create a Wikipedia article on this?” And it reads the docs and just does it. Now, it might not be perfect, and it might have errors, which is something to look out for. But it lowers the friction by a lot. "

An advertisement for some kind of metallic ring thing. It is unclear where it is meant to be worn but advertises that it "boosts desire, restores morning wood, melts man boobs, and burns beer belly."
