zeven7··on U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for "Armageddon,"
Not exactly the "Armageddon" part. It's a little more complicated than that.

Hegseth's preacher is part of a partial preterist and postmillennialist group. They believe apocalyptic prophecies like the Great Tribulation and Armageddon were largely fulfilled in 70 CE when the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem.

zeven7··on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out
There are many humans that can’t pass that test.
zeven7··on Gemini CLI tips and tricks for agentic coding
I've been using Gemini 3 in the CLI for the past few days. Multiple times I've asked it to fix one specific lint error, and it goes off and fixes all of them. A lot of times it fixes them by just disabling lint rules. It makes reviewing much harder. It really has a mind of its own and sometimes starts grinding for 20 minutes doing all kinds of things - most of them pretty good, but again, challenging to review. I wish it would stick to the task.
zeven7··on Larry Summers resigns from OpenAI board
I think you missed the joke. The thing that was funny about it to him when he said it was he knew it was a natural extension of his public position, yes an extreme version of it, but he knew it was also true and’s logical and it was funny to get away with saying it behind closed doors. An honest person would recognized the truth behind the joke and change the position that it stemmed from because they cared about making the world better. The fact that he recognized he was making the world worse AND continued in that path is what is so blatantly evil and revealing about this memo.

If Kevin Spacey had written a private note to Woody Allen that said, "Now that we've been chased out of the film industry, let's become day care workers," then it would be a very different kind of "joke" than The Onion writing the same as a headline.

zeven7··on Google Antigravity
I’m using remote ssh with it via the same plugin and settings I use in VS Code.
zeven7··on YouTube Removes Windows 11 Bypass Tutorials, Claims 'Risk of Physical Harm'
From what I remember Google fought against DMCA abuse by media companies and lost.
zeven7··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
I would be very mad at Biden pardoning his family if the next president was going to be Bush. With all of Trump's calls for retribution, and actions in that direction since the election, it is hard to blame Biden for trying to shield his son from unjust exercises of the law, while Trump was publicly touting him as one of his biggest enemies.
zeven7··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
Even for legit interviews I don’t want all the random NPM dependencies they’re using running on my computer
zeven7··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
I just spin up an EC2 instance for the interview
zeven7··on Half of America's Voting Machines Are Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch
So it didn’t move from one party to another
zeven7··on Half of America's Voting Machines Are Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch
Did Dominion have a party affiliation? I would assume we just went from neutral party affiliation to strong party affiliation, not from one party to another.
zeven7··on GPT-5o-mini hallucinates medical residency applicant grades
Maybe have the students verify their own grades extracted by the LLM?
zeven7··on Interstellar Object 3I/Atlas Passed Mars Last Night
We know exactly who discovered these objects, what tech they were using, and where the funding came from, and it wasn’t from space force.
zeven7··on Interstellar Object 3I/Atlas Passed Mars Last Night
That’s interesting. If it was possible to do on a homemade telescope, then why were no interstellar objects discovered before 1A?
zeven7··on US memo to colleges proposes terms on ideology, foreign enrollment for fed funds
Together we can have a voice. But we need a good leader.
zeven7··on Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image
For Google, the ads used to be on the right side. It was a big deal when they made you start scrolling past them.
zeven7··on YouTube says it'll bring back creators banned for Covid and election content
I believe having Trump as president exacerbated many, many things during that time, and this is one example. He was quick to start blaming the "Chinese", he tried to turn it into a reason to dislike China and Chinese people, because he doesn't like China, and he's always thinking in terms of who he likes and dislikes. This made it hard to talk about the lab leak hypothesis without sounding like you were following Trump in that. If we had had a more normal president, I don't think this and other issues would have been as polarized, and taking nuanced stances would have been more affordable.
zeven7··on Disney reinstates Jimmy Kimmel after backlash over capitulation to FCC
They literally said the easy way or the hard way. What do you think the hard way is?
zeven7··on Trevor Milton's Nikola case dropped by SEC following Trump pardon
I began keeping my own little list of things after the inauguration. It's very incomplete. I would love to see a broader effort toward a more complete list. I'd also like it to be limited to extremely serious and verified, indisputable information. There's enough cruelty and corruption that we don't need to count things that might be taken out of context or easy to dismiss.

Organizations are led by humans.

zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
People who have refused to bend to power for the greater good are not the ones who have caused the most trouble.
zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
I agree it's bad. Hopefully he will start an internet show (a la Tucker) and could even have more success and greater reach in a new medium.
zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
Organizations are led by humans.

> Stop criticizing large corporations as moral entities. They have no other incentives other than money.

I want better for the world.

zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
It's also what happened with Colbert.
zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
This is a good insight. I don't think Kimmel should be pulled for either meaning, but it does help explain why some people might be talking past each other.
zeven7··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
Kimmel was clearly pulled because the fuhrer doesn't like him, because Kimmel is critical of him. You won't see conservative commentators scrutinized this closely, or at all, nor is there any precedent for the FCC acting in this way.
zeven7··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
At my (very large) bank, they have asked me to read them a code from text that literally said "Do not share this code with anyone over the phone" in the text message next to the code. I'm 100% sure it was my bank asking for the code. I called them from a number I found on their site over HTTPS and verified from another source, they knew my account information. I gave it to them while telling them they need to fix this. This was a few years ago. Nothing bad ever happened. Just bad security practices.
zeven7··on Kenvue stock drops on report RFK Jr will link autism to Tylenol during pregnancy
If the safest drug is also the one most prone to misuse, and misuse makes it unsafe, then it is no longer the safest drug. The reason society should be wary is precisely because people misuse it on a scale that vastly eclipses garden variety drugs like acetaminophen.
