Struggling to concentrate on my work because I keep thinking of this house I saw on a walk and hoping the house across the street will get eyes, too, so they can stare at one another and, perhaps, fall in love

A house with Halloween decorations. The decorations are two giant eyeballs framing the door

Exactly 🫠 "We have to vote so hard in the midterms that they can't cheat!" is just childish wishful thinking (that also makes no sense because if they're going cheat, then they're going cheat regardless of how hard people vote)

I'm getting to the point where I want to just mute the term "AI" because the news about it is stupid and useless, and the arguments are so repetitive But that would mute all the other words with the letters "ai" in them 🙃

A lot of indie games have been making great demos, and I've loved this revival of old demo disc culture. But I had no idea vibe coders were stripping demos for parts to beat devs to the punch. Fucking vampires who can't make anything of value on their own have to ruin it for the rest of us.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

did you know that when you have things in a relationship that bother you, you can just discuss them and work through them? That it doesn’t have to result in violent defensive backlash that emotionally devastates & exhausts you and resigns you to dealing with the status quo because it’s easier?

Actually you should be able to discuss things that bug you. You shouldn’t have to even sit there agonizing over whether you have a right to be bothered! You can just say “hey this bugs me can we talk about that” And like it ends up with things being better. I literally couldn’t have conceived.

This is so fucked up. Can't share info about your current projects or upcoming releases anymore because some opportunistic ai assholes will just steal your concept (AND/OR FULL CODE) and rush to release it first as moneygrab slop to players who don't know/care about the difference

Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•18h
'Goodbye' is an alteration of "God be with you."

Sean Kress• @SKress7514 • 16h
Do you have evidence to back this up? If so can you explain what "good night" , "good
morning" and "good evening" are alterations of?

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•15h
what

Sean Kress & @SKress7514 • 14h
I was genuinely asking the question because the only thing I find on the internet is that it is basically a slur from the original.... I assumed there was a better explanation for it than that as it seems a little unlikely given the good night, good morning etc haven't been slurred into something else too. Sorry if you saw that as offensive.

Merriam-Webster @ @Merriam...•14h S
It is not related to 'good night/ day/morning.'
The 'good' in those do not come from 'God.'

Sean Kress @ @SKress7514 • 14h
So the internet suggestion this it is just a slur is what you are basing that on too then?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Merriam-Webster's etymology follows established linguistic scholarship, not unverified internet suggestions of a "slur."
"Goodbye" is an alteration of "God be with you"; "good" in greetings like "good morning" has separate origins unrelated to "God."

The inverted heads of the king and queen of France form the pendants of these ghoulish earrings while the central guillotine section is suspended from a cap of liberty.

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Screenshot of the Nvidia app's "Settings > Features" section.
Showing the newly added "AI Agents and App Connections" section.
The option for "Allow Agents to control NVIDIA App" is enabled by default.
This happened in version 11.0.9.565
