throwawaypath··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
That is the new scapegoat!

My original GP flagged post:

Many warned that "math is racist" and "equitable math" were going to be a disaster. Now that we know it was a disaster, will leftists admit they were wrong and revert the changes?

Definitely. That amount could pay for 20 students to attend classes for a week!
throwawaypath··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
>This should be a 5 alarm fire.

Only for people that get their news from reddit.

Initial public offerings whose market capitalizations rank within the Nasdaq 100’s top members will normally be eligible to be included after 15 days of trading, Nasdaq said in a statement. The timeline is shortened from at least three months currently.

“Industry professionals, including asset managers and institutional passive portfolio managers, were mostly supportive of the Fast Entry proposal and proposed timing,” Nasdaq said in the statement.[0]

15 days vs 90 days isn't some huge shift nor is it inherently some "flaw." These changes have been asked for long before Elon entered the White House.

Firms will look at your $600k 401k AUM, Investor Policy Statements, and laugh you out the door. They won't care, you have no say. Your 401k plan is between them and your employer.
throwawaypath··on Codex just found a "workaround" of not having sudo on my PC
This has been a known Docker "feature" since the beginning, nothing new here. This pattern is used to configure host machines by some tools.

An amateur embedded systems mistake in my opinion.

throwawaypath··on WH proposes rules giving political appointees final approval on research grants
Some of those titles look so satirical it's difficult to believe they're real:

Culture Change for Inclusion of Indigenous Voices in Biology

Strengthening Inclusion by Change in Building Equity, Diversity and Understanding (SICBEDU) in Integrative Biology

An Equitable, Justice-Focused Ecosystem for Pacific Northwest Secondary CS [Computer Science] Teaching

Great to read these are being defunded.

This is what "math is racist" brought us to.
throwawaypath··on Spain blocks prediction markets Polymarket, Kalshi over lack of gambling licence
You're not betting against "other players," your betting against institutional players that have an edge... A house edge, like a casino.

Polymarket is a casino. A roulette wheel is not a "market". You can't beat the house.
throwawaypath··on IBM Spins Off the First Pure-Play Quantum Chip Foundry
They also charge you for every instruction cycle on the machines (look up MIPS licensing) you own. Imagine if NVIDIA started doing that with their GPUs: spend $2500 on a GPU and then pay NVIDIA a royalty fee for every hour of workload you put on it.
throwawaypath··on Rising seas will swallow New Orleans. People need to start relocating now
>In reality, the right-wing criticism of the “mainstream media” has been a form of projection and justification for legitimizing its own propaganda network. Meanwhile, the right denies their own mainstream status: the “mainstream media lies” but the #1 cable news network is a right wing network, the Joe Rogan Experience is the #1 podcast that hosts political guests but isn’t part of the “lying press,”

Joe Rogan isn't "right," he openly supports recreational drug use, gay rights, women's right to abortion, universal healthcare, has endorsed Bernie Sanders and James Talarico, etc.

He's not a leftist, but that doesn't make him "right wing."

throwawaypath··on Iowa to mandate students take Intellectual Freedom classes amid low enrollment
>You know exactly what I'm talking about, you're just feigning ignorance and I'm not interested in playing the game.

Ironically this is a "bad faith shtick." You made a claim that has no basis in reality and failed to back it up. Charlie Kirk was many thing, but a neo-Nazi he was not.

Glad you agree that crossing borders that may not have walls is illegal.
throwawaypath··on Omarchy Is Not A Distro
>Not sinister, but just a simple strategy of a business to increase sales of his products (such as hey.com) as well as pushing his personal preferences (grok) to younger audience masquerading as being done for public good.

He has said multiple times Omarchy is his distro he designed for himself with his personal defaults. He's not masquerading anything, and what he's doing is being done for the public good, he's sharing his creation open and freely. He even documents how you can change those defaults to better fit you.

>Values of DHH and his businesses on one side and Linux community on the other are not very well aligned, so it will inevitably cause these kind of tensions.

You speak for yourself and possibly a small group of loud terminally online people. You do not speak for "the Linux community" as a whole. Omarchy users part of the Linux community. You do not get to define the community's values.

There's no hatred against Jewish people, not widespread enough to be notable at least - the book Mein Kampf talks about this imagined persecution though, I recommend it. I know you need to have the last word, and as I don't wish to engage further with people that have your ultimately hateful views, please go ahead so we can be done. At some point, I hope you get cured of your fear of imagined threats ultimately, at least in part, driving your hate.

"Let me quote this washed up anti-White neo-segregationist that was caught using antisemitic tropes as proof that I don't hate White people" is such a hilarious take only a leftist could make it. Imagine taking lines and tactics from know racists and segregationist and delusionally believing you have the high ground. Take care.

Exactly, which is clearly not what leftists want.

Not shocked you're quoting an anti-White/Europhobic neo-segregationist. White hatred is a hell of a thing.

Basic empathy would be not bullying, terrorizing and detailing anyone who is white, nor supporting such vile behavior.

"If the front door is open it's not trespassing" is obviously a troll take.

Masked ICE officers grabbing people with open warrants and deportation orders is what I saw with my own eyes.

Basic empathy would be OK with letting the White refugees entry to the US. But because of the anti-White/Europhobic racism from the left, they lack empathy.

>but when you start removing civil liberties and running around in gangs grabbing random brown people off the streets and sending them to indefinate detention in the middle of nowhere, dumping people in Somalia, claiming you have the right kill anyone you want, you shouldn't be surprised when people start waving around the f word.

You've been propagandized to believe that is happening. Remember when we were grabbing random brown people, including Black Olympian school superintendents right off the streets and sending them to concentration camps?

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/us/ian-roberts-des-moines-sup...

Months later the truth comes out: illegal alien with guns in his possession, which is a federal crime. Deportation order issued under Biden's administration.

The post-truth era has made the f word effectively meaningless.

There are a lot of people in many countries that do that: Palestine, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Poland, etc.
throwawaypath··on Declining America
>America has far right party and center party. It keeps to blame left whenever its far right push for own goals.

The American left is not center. Open borders, DEI/wokeism, etc. is not a center party platform. Do you have any study that states otherwise?
