I swear to god this is a replacement of the original meme, but a quick search doesn't show that one up.

This is right. The issue is that LLMs are at best a $50 billion/year revenue type business and they've invested in it like it's going to be $500 billion/year in revenue or more. The mismatch is potentially trillions in capex overspend which is enough to cause a deep recession when the bubble pops.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

While I’m making people mad by claiming consumers get what they want, a lot of consumers really do like big houses with no lot lines in the exurbs. Good urban form exists in lower quantities than demand for it but I think exurban housing has a very high demand and that’s why there’s so much of it.

Some messages on Grindr. One says "do you have sex on the first date?" 

And the second says "whoa! Slow down, guy. Let's see how the sex goes first; then, maybe we'll go on a date"

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

One thing that encourages me is that despite individual Democrats capitulating on trans rights, I think if the polling holds, we will elect the most pro-trans congress and senate in US history.

The recent example of the U.K. Labour Party shows that “compromising” rarely stops at some acceptable midpoint.

The thing to understand about Kaptur is that she won a red district in a red year, despite receiving no money or attention from the national party, by being sort of a weirdo. Her attitude has therefore always been one of marginal attachment.

Okay, I made a chart, it's every month since 1977. The blue line is how many people are citing high prices as a reason for worse finances in the U Mich consumer survey. The orange line is the annualized change in CPI. Do you see how the very close correlation MASSIVELY BREAKS DOWN in 2022?

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

@bsky.app / @support.bsky.team — What is going on with asterisks? For some reason any leading asterisk next to a capital letter is center-aligned vertically while most others are top-aligned, e.g.: • *A* (both centered) • *a* (both upper) • *A* word (leading centered, trailing upper)
Screenshot demonstrating inconsistent vertical alignment of asterisks in Bluesky.

Really feels like a lot of people my age that were so ambitious in their careers and doing incredible things have decided that it's not worth it anymore and are deciding to prioritize their personal lives instead and trying to retire early. It's anecdotal but I'm seeing this across the board.

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.

The phone should automatically lock its screen and turn it dark when you have a phone call in order to end the scourge of people taking calls on speakerphone bc holding their phones against their cheek leads to phantom button presses.

This is the core of the problem really. For just about everyone, simply taking the data from USGS at face value has always made sense til now. For apps to ignore a dumb presidential order, they’re also having to also reckon with trusting a basic data source.

Actual working class people (and non-college-educated is a poor proxy in many regards) tend to be a lot more focused on wages and prices. That may seem small and narrow to middle class people, but that's because, by definition, middle class people have enough money to focus on bigger ticket items.
