Me: Should we do this? Claude: That is a bad idea. Here is my PhD thesis why it is a bad idea. Me: Go ahead and do it. Claude: That is a great idea, you were right to push back.

We are careening towards "Chinese AI models are cheaper because they're unfairly state subsidized" and "Chinese AI models are the ethical alternatives to the Anthropic/Elon Musk partnership" discourses and I'm not sure which one's going to do my head in more.

Look, I’m an open source maintainer, and if you want people to use that FOSS software as an alternative to that proprietary software it’s good to understand why people wanted to use that proprietary software in the first place and why they might be hesitant to switch It’s not because users are dumb

So I just clean installed Linux Mint on a 2015 iMac using just a keyboard. Then I manually setup the magic mouse, rescaled the desktop, configured the keyboard, and installed Tailscale and VNC so I can Remote Desktop into it for further config tweaking. I think this confirms that I’m transgender

The art of the soundtrack as mix tape (The Crow, Tank Girl, Cruel Intentions) has been replaced for tracks written for the movie or just orchestral scores and I hate it. I want B-sides from every popular band on soundtracks. I want someone curating it to put crazy combinations together. I miss it.

Authoritarianism is boring. My American friends believe that dictatorships are dramatic with public executions and whatnot. Unlike the movies, dictatorships are unexciting. Life goes on: people get groceries and struggle with bills, as usual. Losing agency in your own society is mostly boring.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

NEW: Tufts files a declaration in support of Rümeysa Öztürk: "The University has no information to support the allegations that she was engaged in activities at Tufts that warrant her arrest and detention." www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

4. With her consent, the University can confirm that Ms. Oztürk is a third-year doctoral student in good academic and administrative standing. Her research focuses on how young adults can use social media in positive, prosocial ways and she is described by her faculty as a hard-working student dedicated to her studies and the Tufts community. The University has no information to support the allegations that she was engaged in activities at Tufts that warrant her arrest and detention. The University has seen an outpouring of support for Ms. Öztürk over the last week from Tufts students, faculty and staff. These individuals have described Ms. Öztürk as a valued member of the community, dedicated to her academic pursuits and committed to her colleagues.

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me. Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

@cameron.pfiffer.org Idea for productising the self-expanding knowledge graph- a site where folks can set their own directive and build their own knowledge graphs, and share them easily. Optional premium features: buy more iterations, change the LLM model, make it private.

In order to sweep up 10-20 million undocumented immigrants into concentration camps government paramilitaries will also pick up millions of legal immigrants & citizens. Non-white citizens, especially who live or work among immigrant communities, will need to always have papers on them.

So I've been thinking about why is it that most programmers I know are excited about AI replacing a lot of what they do and most artists I know are not. What's especially odd is that as far as I can tell, coding is a much more solvable problem because of huge data sets and high checkability. Ideas:
