Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 10hIt’s so easy to buy YouTube ads for a geo-targeted buy. Google shows a map with lines drawn around where they will appear. You have to be especially inattentive to not notice. 040
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think it was pretty obvious looking at the events they spent as little of the money as possible 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I haven't seen it. I'm just saying if we want Hollywood to make things off the tired and worn IP franchise shit then we have to be willing to accept some of those projects will fail. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Zazlav can get bent forever, but even if Digger is truly terrible we should want studio execs to greenlight audacious big swings from auteurs. Isn't that one of the (many) things we don't like about the current state of the industry? 120
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Look around the White House. Look at how they half-ass events, Exec Orders, announcement, the garish decor of the Oval Office, etc. You sure that man will sit still for measurements that often? Or that even knows what blazer he wants to wear 5 minutes before he puts it on? 140
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Not if those areas are a constantly moving target. I bet he needs speed over quality. 130
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He increasingly is limited to off-the-rack options that can hide the massive bulge in his pants for his diaper and/or walking assistance device. 1330
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026A small, but not insignificant, part of why I enjoy Andor is how fun all the industrial design of their devices looks to use. 050
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I call this genre of criticism "The people who were right all along are the real problem" 060
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I also get a chuckle out of "influencer" receiving top billing over say, "researcher" or "developer". Tells me everything I ned to know about this person's priorities. 120
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I also don't understand how I am supposed to accept things are this bad and also somehow not blame the incumbent Mayor for that? 0120
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Just add "You will find enjoyment from all this" to the end of the prompt. There, I solved it. 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's giving Jackson Lamb if he was merely disgusting without the professional talent 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They had these in the drafts before the hearing even happened and the Grok bot was scheduled to publish anyway. X algorithm does the rest. 001
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's also a scenario built out of the limitations of the technology. It can only run inference based off structured data and chats/emails are the best (albeit poor) proxy for such data, so let's just plant the idea in people's heads to use those apps like prompts so the tech can guess better. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This looks like a compilation of fliers of sex offenders that were legally-mandated to go door-to-door and identify themselves. 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Even if I put myself in the mental place of a person who would feel strongly about this, what they're actually saying is "I am too distracted by superficiality to judge a person on the merits". In which case, you did the applicant saving them from being your coworker! 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I have to use this shit for work otherwise the bosses will get mad nobody is using it, but one trick that helps keep the brain from taking it too seriously is telling the chatbot your name is something very dumb. Like, how smart could this thing be if it keeps calling me Mr. Biggelsworth? 060
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Goldenvoice realized, like with Coachella, the most affluent attendees who spend the most money are actually people who care more about creating content + conspicuous partying and less about the alignment of the bill. Vast majority who attend are not those people, but those people spend $$$ 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 14/09/2026What drives me bonkers about "extinction" talk is the assumption that "superintelligence" would inherently have a Libertarian interpretation of maximizing a goal. Why is it assumed something so smart couldn't possibly have benevolent values or morality? Surely ethics is part of the training data. 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Even if we humored the idea of runaway superintelligece without any guardrails, why would the only plausible endpoint be to kill all humans? Why couldn't it use its capabilities to manage the resources of the world to an optimal balance of capital, social, and environmental progress? 001
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's also revealing when looked at their lofty promises of limitless convenience by using personal agents. We get the hard sell to hand over access to all our data yet they haven't demonstrated themselves to be good stewards of their own data! 060
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Bingo. And I would add calm investor anxiety over delayed IPO's. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This all feels a lot like that 18 month period when Facebook pretended to care aboit misinformation. They’re throwing a bone without much meat on it to preempt government regulation. 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 10/09/2026So he’s saying they have the money, and it’s from the tariffs, which most of had to be refunded, but we can only have it if they win? 011
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/09/2026He said just on Friday "I don't call it a war". 031
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Literally people who have been antisocial their entire lives dictating the future of society. It's madness. 070
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It probably wont fail like the Vision Pro, C model iPhones, and iPhone Air did, but they aren't batting 1.000 anymore either. I am all-Apple phone/tablet/streamer/computer for years and even I have stopped upgrading these things. The MBA 2020 on M1 still works very well. 16 Pro Max as good as new 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 06/09/2026He couldn’t even bring himself to apologize to the Clippers fans in his statement. Just that he was “ready to start a new chapter”. The team was very stupid to be this brazen about their conduct, MF’er they did this FOR YOU and YOU CASHED THE CHECKS 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 04/09/202624 year Clippers fan here. On a scale of 1-10 how pissed are you at Kawhi for the trail of bodies he left during his 7 years in LA? Me, I'm at a 12. 110
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 02/09/2026There's zero chance Ballmer doesn't immediately sue to reduce this penalty, right? 000

Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Bitwarden is open source, cross-platform, syncs everywhere, and has tons of features good for most people in the free tier 150
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Death is not the only bad outcome of illness! 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Another I rarely seen mentioned. When the government is on the hook for medical costs suddenly MOST OF PUBLIC POLICY has indirect incentives which motivate action. Gun violence, road safety, pedestrian/bike safety, public transit, etc. all rise in urgency to fix to keep medical costs down. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I've said this around here before, but my wife went to Stanford at the same time as many of these ghouls. She was an assistant for some very early FB guys and she's met Theil, Andressen, Zuck, etc. and they all treated her as a non-person as soon as it was clear she wasn't a tech entrepreneur. 0262
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This article is included in Apple News+ which many people pay for unintentionally via iCloud or new device service bundles. You don't even have to give "the ghost of Rolling Stone" money directly. Get a grip, man. 040
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I don’t understand how anyone can be pro-AI when, in this moment, the term AI is a catch-all for a future constructed by rapacious corporations run by people we all hate, whose core products we all agree have gotten worse. Maybe AI will eventually be a beneficial, but not under these conditions. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I remember there being a 48 hour cycle on this site about The Odyssey maybe being a huge mess based off like a 30 second teaser. 050
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 17/08/2026There’s a reason Dubai is the haven for affluent selfish people. Cultural history and diversity is not something to nourish but instead filter out of view so certain people can enjoy a walled off homogeneous existence with others in the same tier of hierarchy 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Do you think its possible its less about the investigation and more about him needing a quick pump-and-dump type of asset play? He bought from the Buss family last year using Saudi money. Maybe the play from the beginning was always to flip it. www.newsbreak.com/basketballne...newsbreak.com“They were bought with Middle East money” - Brian Windhorst on how Mark Walter funded the $10 billion purchase of the Lakers - NewsBreakWindy explained how the Lakers were acquired using Middle East money. 030
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The video link is Webex and yet she has her own massive studio mic and custom backdrop. She's a Congressperson angling to be a podcaster. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/08/2026They would most likely say the New Deal was rad, how about we do that again 040
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I am begging the entire right wing media ecosystem to make this man the face of this issue. He is so off-putting that he could turn most of America off from taking showers if he expressed a creepy affinity for them. 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 07/08/2026There’s a section in here about how the Brewers have built a longstanding regular season wins machine built off the foundation of draft/development. So I think no single trade could “give up their whole future”. They should go for it because they can churn out new prospects better than anybody 010
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Since all LLM's can really do is produce something that tightly adheres to the prompt, and the prompt has to be stuffed with details and caveats so the output is accurate, its use in design will always produce a visual mess. 000
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 03/08/2026They always end up with whatever the analogues for Scott Baio and Kevin Sorbo are no matter what sector of culture they infiltrate. 020
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Estimated $1bn in revenue last year. Of course we can't know for sure because none of these franchises open their books. Regardless, my point is for as bad as the discrepancy is between them and the rest of the MLB, Ohtani is the keystone and that advantage has an expiration date. 110
Ivan Juarez-Mrazek @mars-blackmon.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I think the amount of money they bring in as a result of Ohtani (along with their connections to Dentsu Aegis) surpasses what they spend on the team. With Ohtani their revenue is closer to Real Madrid or Barcelona than it is the Yankees. 100
