My snap was also on Malarone.
hilariously··on Two German airport workers die of malaria after 'mosquito arrives on plane'
And some of them have Super powerful side effects - I had a 3 day violent psychotic break I have no memory of, but I did get to wake up strapped to a bed!
hilariously··on The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead
No, the entire marketing campaign for these models is "it automatically has godlike powers to exploit almost any software" - if you don't air gap such a capability you are inherently allowing shit to go down, any other interpretation is "OAI folks are too stupid to design a proper test".
hilariously··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
The term "illegal immigration" got moved to "people who have proper papers and did everything legally but were granted access by someone I don't like" - anyone who was an informed voter could see that "against illegal immigration" was just red meat for the base.
hilariously··on Claudette: Make Claude stop talking like a BuzzFeed article
Sometimes you can do a separate skill for committing only and basically minimize the context - "analyze the commit messages, the original instructions, and this set of things to stop wasting my FUCKING TIME"
hilariously··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
And isolationism, how is that doing for any country that tried it?

Prove to me it wasn't my hamburger eating.

hilariously··on Marketers are Addicted to Bad Data (2020)
The answer is at every level, and each level is separated into multiple sublevels of fraud.
hilariously··on Universal health coverage could save $1T and 114k lives a year: study
The Republican party is not a Conservative party, its a Reactionist party of capital, so generally anything that threatens the interests of capital will be absolutely crushed.
hilariously··on Buyer cancels showing after Deflock shows two cameras utilized by the HOA
Not much, but a decentralized system is often hard to exploit, and we're reaching points where we've established the surveillance state the populace is finally understanding the repercussions in a clear and poignant way.

Assume that means the public camera technology in general will be called Flock cameras, and people will have a more default negative reaction going forward.

hilariously··on Asynchronous I/O in DuckDB: Work, Thread, Work
No, but its genuinely looked down upon to make frivolous comments.
hilariously··on Asynchronous I/O in DuckDB: Work, Thread, Work
Burning my points to say dude that's sick, parsing CSVs is hell I am genuinely going to watch this thank you.
hilariously··on AI has access to a vastly larger working memory than the human brain
Ok Sabina, everyone is string theory is all just a bunch of egotistical morons.
hilariously··on Chartreuse, a case study in how scarcity and authenticity can drive desirability
Malort tastes like Meyer's lemons (the ones you use to clean things instead of eat) and anise, most people without a strong anise culture would hate it.
hilariously··on Bluesky's active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app
The false equivalency is so funny, you mean a platform where the president sells private access to his massive lies ahead of time so that you can front run the market?

The one where war crimes are directly equivocated and WW3 is regularly threatened?

The one where anti-vax conspiracy is gospel, up is down, and black is white?

Get the biggest pile of hippy dippy bullshit together and you'll never compare to the toxic waste dump of "Truth" Social.

hilariously··on I've yet to see any"My AI went rogue and caused us to recognise a workers union
Because? They are tools of the companies and will more likely just ... not do that.
hilariously··on Amazon Is Creating the Biggest Pollution Source in the Country
Reach them? You mean reach Elon Musk.
hilariously··on U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, a sudden reversal
It's not a "suspect" thing, it has been widely reported up and down the chain there is basically no support for tariffs, especially when the economic reality hit. The only supporter is trump, and he can do whatever he wants as king baby.
hilariously··on US strikes $1.2B deal to pay German firm to halt offshore wind projects
Time passes. Trump is literally doing his utmost to disenfranchise voters, called electors to personally harass them, and has spent years "investigating the fraud" to setup groundwork for violating people's voting rights.

One side says bullshit, the other side says "look at all of the fucking evidence of your eyes"

hilariously··on Japanese Govt Asks US Govt to Stop Using Mario, Pokemono, Naruto Meme Postings
You think we are not constantly mocking trump, his entire administration, and everything his group of jack booted fascists are doing?

Boy do you need to visit some other bars!

hilariously··on Developers are attached to tools because tools encode trust
For some quantity of use. When I say infinite customizeability I mean its just fronting chat gpt + tools without any real product use case.
hilariously··on Developers are attached to tools because tools encode trust
This is exactly what I said to the last company (which is basically shutting down now lol) management - "infinite customizeability" means "zero percent understandability" for a typical suite of software.

I literally was told not to narrow down the features too much or the product would be too constrained... well then wtf does it actually _do_ for anyone?

hilariously··on US Treasury undertakes historic intervention in yen market
We already have anti-trust and other regulation to manage this problem, we simply need to use it.

There's no end of competition, the world changes, companies bloat and make bad choices, smaller competitors can react and change faster - it's only in our corporate hegemony that we don't consider that a viable alternative.

hilariously··on Google has abandoned Google News?
I probably use google 1000x less than I did 4 years ago.
hilariously··on The Productivity Mirage
And when you get that new job with that new stack? Switching back to the windows laptop? I learned early on in my career how to live off the land and use the tools I have given to be efficient because it is rare that I get to decide the tooling. Cross platform tools? Usually can get away with them, but beside Jetbrains stuff its all over the place.
hilariously··on Don't Take the Black Pill [video]
The rumblings as in - the push back on the enormous takeover by christian conservatives of the united states, taking away women's rights, voting to teach the bible in schools, and doing their best to mass disenfranchise voters?

Fuck 'em honestly.

hilariously··on IRGC claims it destroyed Amazon's Bahrain data center
You are saying this in a thread about an impact of a war we just made up and did not do in any sane way.
hilariously··on IRGC claims it destroyed Amazon's Bahrain data center
What do the Iranians get for us overthrowing their government in the 50s? (we are not the good guys here)
hilariously··on Everyone should know SIMD
Yep, I avoid saying the word simple almost entirely - its straight forward to get to the top of a mountain, it might still be incredibly arduous.
