Hey! What are they doing in my house????

There are ways to protect yourself. The two main vectors I've seen are leaking your info to train models which are then revealed to other users and prompt injection where malicious actors can tell the AI to grab your info or do other things. It's still a very new field.

With all the resistance to Trump, I'm not hearing anyone talking about initiating reforms to prevent the current abuses of power. The closest is removing authorizations of force. Where are the proposals for constitutional amendments? Where are the proposals for institutional reforms of Congress?

I saw this. I urge everyone to make a plan.

I think the gathering was also a flex on how they can make the generals do something so belittling.

This is an interesting perspective. It sounds like devs have taken the adage against premature optimization to mean you never optimize. Checking performance should be done regularly even for non-complex web apps.

I watched what he did in the first Trump administration to make legal immigration harder. That a proponent of the Great Replacement theory is a special advisor is saying the quiet part out loud.

I got my book! Do you have suggestions on how I can learn algorithms. I wasn't a computer science major and am self-taught. I've tried self-paced online courses but I always ran into a wall.

It's hard to support a movement when its supporters slap you in the face. If I were weaker, I'd say fuck progressives I'm joining MAGA. At least MAGA's bigotry is on full display. Unfortunately hey're blatantly using me for political oppression. But at least they're not slapping me in the face.

All of that happens when there are severe economic problems. There's a reason that Germans are afraid of inflation. Given the choice between economics and freedom, people choose economics.

Libertarians have been making this argument for a long time. It just isn't pushed as hard as I would've liked. The federal government has used the pressure of withholding funds from states for a long time. The potential for abuse is just so much clearer now.

It's sad to see some celebrities I follow fall for this.

Isn’t it funny how motherfuckers who “couldn’t breathe” while wearing masks during the pandemic, can all of a sudden breathe just fine wearing masks now that they get to terrorize immigrants, but don’t want people to recognize them in their personal lives? 🤔🧐🤨 🐂 💩

I can't wait! data structures and algorithms are what I'm weakest on. Do you have any plans to do a book on algorithms? I'd imagine that might be too meaty of a topic for a "Quick" book.

Men! Stop the mustache! Just say no! The flavor savor is not worth the sheer ugliness of it. It makes my eyeballs sad. We had 45 years of no mustaches and it was glorious! You're never going to have a mustache better than Tom Selleck's so just give up on it already.

It used to be that Republicans believed in federalism where each state decided its destiny. You also had Republican political leadership who argued against expanding government power because over day the other party will have it. Those days are over. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I was wondering whether the cats eating me would prevent the smell.

Gothic Joe @gothicjoe23.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

It's been a long time since I thought about this bit. It used to be in heavy rotation. "It's not a question of if I die alone. It's a question of how long it will take the neighbors to notice the smell."

It can reduce the recurring amount of interest if it's used to either prevent debt or pay off debt. It also reduces maintenance cost. The example that counts to mine is how Mitch Daniels, former governor of Indiana, leased a piece of state roads to get the state finances on track.

I've been saying for a long time that we the people are horrible bosses. Blaming politicians is a cop-out. We're the ones who voted them in there.

This is the type of news that is reported under the radar. We need to speak out against the Israeli ultra-nationalionists that shout "Death to Arabs". They're a vocal minority that needs to be drowned out by even louder calls for peace, freedom, and understanding. apnews.com/article/isra...

I don't see a way of reducing the deficit and the debt without an all is the above strategy of shrinking government, selling assets, and raising revenue. I don't think people realize how much we'll lose if we lose our time as the world's reserve currency.

I have a question I'd like to crowdsource the answer to. If I were a character actor, what sort of characters do you see me playing? For example a character might be "the office nemesis". I'm curious what people outside my head think. Thanks!!

I never saw it as a kid but I knew it was on. The reboot has been great. I've seen 11 shows of the original. It gives me more appreciation of the reboot. Dan is a weasel. 😂 Have you seen the John Larroquette Show? I have fond memories of it. It's on YouTube.
