I was taught that if your visualization is less intuitive than a spreadsheet, you need to reevaluate your approach. Why the heck would you code the year of the occurrence in color?

Whatever, I’m sure some asshole fell off his horse while reading a letter or something. No, I think this map is terrible because they connected to the wrong database.

Your quote actually made me go and read the article. Thanks a lot dude, I’m fucking pissed now.

“The city’s role is significant as much as Ms Grossman’s and Mr Erickson’s. The city was on notice of the problem,” Grossman’s attorney, Esther Holm, said in court, referring to a previous complaint issued to the city.

Ms. Holm, your client hit those kids in a crosswalk at 73 MPH. Are you really trying to say the city’s landscaping had equal responsibility in these deaths?

“As we flirt with a prospective IPO for our hilariously unprofitable company, I would just like to say our product is so good it scares me.”

I’ve been reading this for years, and the hypothesis always seems to be that zipper merging is good because it maximizes road usage. You know what else maximizes road usage? Bumper to bumper gridlock.

I am guessing that if anyone actually tests that settlement in a court of law that it will not be worth the paper it’s written on. All it takes is one person in the IRS to grow enough of a testicle to actually call for the audit.

This is so dumb. I absolutely love it.

Yeh it’s peak, really goes downhill from there.

Their entire world view is dictated by their leader. Anything which could contradict or embarrass that leader is a threat.

It will be such a weird case, too! Stealing taxpayer money from one organization to be used in direct opposition of another? It’s such awful fiscal policy that trying to entertain a defense of it might cause Thomas or Alito to have a stroke lol

Every place I’ve ever worked has tried to play cute with security researchers. I’ve never understood it. I’ve always called it out. But I keep fucking running into it!

If a complete stranger reaches out for help, do it. Your future self will thank you.

Honestly not an insane stance for an app repository. LLMs puke out what they ate, and there’s a perfectly reasonable concern that they might not have legal authorization to everything they trained on. I definitely wouldn’t want to get sued for hosting an app that is found to be in violation of a license agreement.

“The poison is in the dose”.

Also, what an astonishingly uncritical perspective. I think there are plenty of legitimate concerns to raise about LLMs in science, but there’s a reason that researchers are adopting these tools. I suspect it’s because there’s a ton of rote work in the field (literature review, analysis, drafting a document…) and they’re under great pressure to publish on an accelerating cadence.

I have written and reviewed a lot of contentious proposals but none of them resulted in bombings. Weird.

Bro you can’t even run a publicly traded company. Don’t even say the word “utility”. Fuck outta here.

It wasn’t bad enough that our younger brothers have misogynistic weirdos publishing targeted content to lure them into the manosphere. Nah, we needed big tech to get them hooked on synthetic girlfriends before they understand agency and consent.

They’re certainly making an impressive go of it, but I don’t see anything in their arsenal that’s going to survive sustained attacks.

SPYDER is so comically expensive that resisting long range drones will bankrupt the country, and automated turrets, while much better from a price per kill perspective, simply don’t have the range of other solutions (hundreds of meters at best rather than 40km of SPYDER or 5km of iron dome).

A better solution for the drones in the OP might be the new Rheinmetall platforms with airburst ammunition, but I’m not sure Israel can procure those in the numbers necessary to cover their defenses or infrastructure.

My dude, data center owners are actually trying to stand up new nuclear facilities to fulfill their own demand. Doesn’t matter if it’s in New York or Wyoming: math’s clearly not working out.

(FWIW I’m totally on board with new power infrastructure, but I don’t trust these geniuses to build or maintain it)

I see them as ways to find content that otherwise wouldn’t be on my radar. I generally don’t let them “talk me out” of seeing something that interests me.
