So, now that the Denny Way bus lane hasn't created gridlock across South Lake Union, are we going to get a mea culpa on any of this stuff or nah.

Amazing scene from The Odyssey recreated with AI.

The monster is speared in eye and looks incredible.

Scene shows a giant with two eyes

The thing that kills me about these celebratory posts from dem leaders is that we didn't win a victory here, we narrowly avoided a catastrophic defeat. If you can't tell the difference between winning and (barely) surviving, maybe you shouldn't be leading the fight!

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

I haven’t worked in computer security for years now, but last night I had a dream that the AI autocomplete now in my IDE downloaded a malware package and I had to reformat my work laptop. I woke up bemused and irrationally angry at AI. Only I’m allowed to make dumb mistakes like that!

An underappreciated thing, I think, is that OpenAI wasn't the first to the technology, it was just the first to both have the technology and be recklessly irresponsible enough to actually release it as a product

fucking wild that there's people out there sincerely arguing that there's any reasonable response to "uh hey man that's not just a generic skull & bones that's an SS-totenkopf" other than "oh god holy shit I didn't realize, I am going to go get it covered up literally at the end of this sentence"

After watching the first episode, I did not realize that Hell's Paradise is... apparently about how the MC is super powered b/c he's the biggest wife guy. If someone had told me, I would have watched it much sooner. (I will not take corrections on this interpretation at this time, I love it.)

Fun fact: “Sexecutioner,” by Gwar (along with the rest of “Scumdogs of the Universe”) appears to be rated E for Everyone on Spotify. Now, I knew about Gwar either in late elementary school or early middle school, but I’m a little suspicious of the rating system…

The latest comprehensive plan meeting has begun with a 101 on what floor-area ratio is, as the city's new land use committee chair asks how FAR (basically: the built square footage in, say, a house) differs from lot size. You might not know that, but the land use chair should.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

computers are a completely normal field where there are databases built on descendants of PICK OS, a database made in the 60s to organize parts for a helicopter that never existed, for a system called Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS), as created by a guy named Dick Pick.

To elaborate a bit here: Most “outcome” goals are only things you can influence, not things you can control. Especially on a large team. “(x) new customers begin using (product) because of (new feature)” is an outcome, but its actual success is dependent on a lot of other stuff.
