Is it real hardmaxxing unless you change your gender? In this essay I will

Most incel forums proliferate pseudoscientific slop to justify their beliefs.

He was this close! This close!

The Logitech F710. The wireless signal is just bad on that controller. I'd get constant lag spikes or dropped input. The Logitech F310 is a much better deal because it's 10 dollars cheaper and actually works on account of being wired.

Maybe it'd work in the depths of the sea without a lot of radio noise? I dunno I'm not asking any questions just getting on the rocket ship.

Gotta make sure the header file is really really included I guess!

Here is a video of Eric Schmidt getting loudly booed at a commencement speech

It is an impressively bad speech.

This with the Linkle mod is the greatest thing ever made by the way.

There are allegations across social media that Elon Musk tweets as his parents after his mom tweeted as if she was his dad to talk about how down to earth and working class their family was.

Not totally sure what to make of that, and none of this actually matters beyond the realm of celebrity gossip, but it is a little weird. I mean obviously on some level his mom is OK with the things that get tweeted on her account, whether it's by her, her baby boy, or an assistant.

Remember my super cool ~~Rattata~~ vagina? My vagina is different from regular vaginas. It's like my vagina is in the top percentage of vaginas.

There have been a couple of cases of generative AI graphics being used in anime recently:

Ascendance of a Bookworm used AI backgrounds in the opening song

Liar Game featured an AI chandelier (xcancel link) (this one is brand new so the studio hasn't responded yet).

This sucks because I wanted to like Liar Game (the manga is excellent though. Read it! Read it!)

At my job I have spent many hours fending off, reverting, or fixing automated AI slop code changes. So depending on your definition of "tearing through"...

Like I spent the better part of a day fixing a C++ signed integer overflow that no one actually cares about because it was the only way to ward off a robot repeatedly trying to fix it in terrible unreadable ways. I could have spent that day maximizing shareholder value but I had to fend off a robot instead.

The future of AI in Ubuntu

This post has all the usual cliches, exaggerations, lies, and unfounded optimism you'd expect in a blog post about a company forcing AI down their workers and user's throats. I'll try to avoid sneering at every sentence.

Delegating elements of Site Reliability Engineering to an agent does not necessarily introduce an entirely new class of risk; it should inherit the constraints of existing production systems. Well-run production environments already rely on strict access controls, audit trails, and clear separation between observation and action. [...] In that sense, the challenge is less about “trusting the agents”, and more about building trust in the same guardrails we already apply to any production system.

This might sound good to at first, but falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. There is a reason that companies don't open their intranets to the public despite having fine-grained access controls. Or in other words, "I'm getting a lot of questions already answered by my 'does not necessarily introduce an entire new class of risk' T-shirt.

Imagine being able to ask your Linux machine to troubleshoot a Wi-Fi connection issue, or to stand up an open source software forge that’s pre-configured, secured, and reachable over TLS.

And right after arguing that LLMs are safe if you have a perfect permissions model, now he's proposing letting one #yolo configure a git server or something? This is the sort of thing that could easily easily lead to random security issues.

I suspect that "Troubleshoot a wi-fi connection issue" will work about as well as existing network troubleshooting wizards (e.g. terribly), and that we don't actually need to reinvent the software wizard but less deterministic.

Detective: "So Magic Eight Ball. I'm just gonna ask you outright. Were you the killer?"

Magic Eight Ball: "It is decidedly so."

Some Guy: "Oh my god."
