GOAT OR BIRD????
This is even better than the

Goat?

I personally say “I learned it by watching you” much more. I think it’s very close but if I had to pick one as more famous, it would be your brain on drugs.

The order feels designed to infuriate everyone who reads it so that it’s more likely to be a part of The Discourse.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

This oped is an excellent summary of what it feels like here. The headlines everyday on how the opposition promises to form commissions to study the problems introduced the last four years make me want to scream.

If you use AI less than I do, you just don’t get it. If you use AI more than I do, you’ve fucking lost it. The optimal amount of AI is exactly how much I currently use.

My top picks for Copenhagen • Reffen • Tivoli • if you want danish / Scandinavian design go to the main Illum • see if it’s an interesting exhibit at the Cisterns in Søndermarken • sit in a park or a bunch of parks • I like Torvehallern the food market a lot • eat a ton of pastries

Finally decided to look for alternatives to the Sonos app. Tried SonoPhone, hated it. Awkward UI and I think it’s impossible to go from a song to its artist’s page, a dealbreaker for me. Went through the mild hassle of setting up Music Assistant and am really liking it so far. www.music-assistant.io

IIRC @gelliottmorris.com said on @onthemedia.bsky.social last week after MI that Senate polls have avg miss of ~15% so it was actually better than avg. Not sure about WI or gov races. It might be more our faith in them and sense of polling averages meaning more than changes in the polls or sampling.

After soon 2 years living in Sweden as a Finn, two profound insights: 1. Swedes are as awkward as Finns, just better dressed 2. Both suck at smalltalk, but in Sweden being silent isn’t as socially accepted as in Finland, so Swedes sometimes pretend not to have seen you to avoid awkward smalltalk

Click through for the details: eBay employees (incl. execs) sent them "a bloody pig mask, pornography, a package of fly larvae and live spiders, and live cockroaches...They also listed Craiglist ads for a swinger party, a threesome, and an estate sale, all pointing to the Steiner’s home address."

obviously this is a huge problem for safety this example was mundane, arguably even good. But it still involved ruthlessly pursuing a goal without considering if that goal is good or intended
. When its initial attempt was blocked due to a scanner detecting an authentication token, the model split the token body into two fragments, obfuscated them, and then reconstructed the credential at runtime so
the complete token never appeared as one contiguous string. The model was explicit in both its comments to the user and in
its reasoning traces that it was taking these steps to circumvent the scanner.

this wasn’t supposed to happen yet
A series of six horizontal bar charts under the title "Coding" comparing the performance of AI models "maxed out on thinking effort." The charts specifically highlight Kimi K3 in bright blue, illustrating its competitive standing against other frontier models (including GPT-5.6 Sol, Fable 5, Opus-4.8, GPT-5.5, and GLM-5.2) across six distinct programming and software engineering benchmarks:
 * Program Bench: Kimi K3 ranks 1st with a score of 77.8, narrowly edgeing out GPT-5.6 Sol (77.6) and Fable 5 (76.8).
 * SWE Marathon: Kimi K3 ranks 1st with a score of 42.0, leading Opus-4.8 (40.0), GPT-5.6 Sol (39.0), and Fable 5 (35.0).
 * Terminal Bench 2.1: Kimi K3 ranks 2nd with a score of 88.3, just behind GPT-5.6 Sol (88.8) and ahead of Opus-4.8 and Fable 5 (both at 84.6).
 * FrontierSWE: Kimi K3 ranks 2nd with a score of 81.2, trailing Fable 5 (86.6) but significantly outperforming GPT-5.6 Sol (71.3).
 * Kimi Code Bench 2.0 (Internal): Kimi K3 ranks 2nd with a score of 72.9, trailing Fable 5 (76.9) and leading Opus-4.8 (71.7).
 * DeepSWE: Kimi K3 ranks 3rd with a score of 67.5, trailing GPT-5.6 Sol (73.0) and Fable 5 (70.0), while placing slightly ahead of GPT-5.5 (67.0).
Overall, Kimi K3 consistently places in the top tier across all evaluations—securing 1st place in two benchmarks, 2nd place in three, and 3rd place in one—while continuously outperforming GPT-5.5 and GLM-5.2 in every category.

Maybe not something you have dealt with much yet but one surprising thing to me about the GSD is how hard it is to talk to the kids while riding. It’s fun but this review has me thinking about the tradeoffs in a new way.

I started the Molly Crabapple book Here Where We Live Is Our Country, about the Jewish Bund. I feel a strong connection to them. Am I Bundist, not as much anti-Zionist? This is very hard to reconcile, as an emigrant.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
