not that it was ever very good but I am well and truly over the Newsom trolling approach to Trump social media bullshit

chad tracy’s bullpen choices in this series have left a lot to be desired, even if the bats probably made them moot season on the line and it’s eric miller and crochet coming off months on the DL, woof

even besides the obvious Ellison corruption, there is simply too much money in prediction markets for them ever to receive the kind of scrutiny they deserve they’re worming their way into everything just like crypto and AI

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

okay I'm sorry to literally beg for this, I've done part time jobs and you all have been amazing sponsoring for me doing work around the community But I go 1400 a month rent is due at the end of the month and I'm freaking out, they can delay it until the 8th but I think I honestly can't pay it

my read on the Trump promise is that it’s running into two separate and contradictory types of backlash at the same time: 1. people don’t believe he’ll actually give them money 2. people believe that ‘undeserving’ recipients will get money

everyone lucked the hell out on the terror attack today where the co-pilot stabbed the pilot, passengers took down the attacker *and* there seem to have been two off-duty pilots who were able to land the plane safely. Could have been one of the worst attacks for a while otherwise.

the thing is that Literature is actually full of good books but if you present it as the former rather than the latter you lose a lot of people who might otherwise enjoy it

exactly development doesn’t even have to stop, it just needs to slow down enough that you can sell enough $4 pills to make your development money back but if you slow down and your competitor doesn’t, you lose, which is why they all need a cartel agreement to slow down

4. the amount of money being made from selling AI may not be enough to cover the amount of money it takes to keep developing the next version of AI if the cost/pace of development doesn't slow down 5. the cost of development shows no sign of slowing down

1. selling AI is profitable - when someone pays anthropic for claude to do something, anthropic makes money 2. people will stop paying anthropic for claude to do stuff if claude stops being top of the line 3. keeping claude top of the line means spending a ton of money developing the next version

yeah I think this gets at the core of it - "throw more compute at model development" hasn't stopped working yet, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight, and it's really fucking expensive there is a LOT of money to be here but not necessarily enough to match the continuous capex required

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

he's bored and angry and all he wants to do is stand in front of a crowd of people cheering for him that's why he did the midterm convention, that's why he's doing this, and he's well beyond giving a shit how it affects any other republican candidate I love that for all of them

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

I think there was, unfortunately, real reason to doubt the polls when donald trump personally was on the ballot polling without him on the ballot has been basically fine, and it is telling us we are standing on the edge of the apocalypse (complimentary) run through the tape, but believe
