A List Of Better Ways To Experience The Frisson Of Transgression Than Becoming A Fascist | Defector You could almost feel for Anna, the tedious nitwit described in the opening paragraphs of “The Young Women Leaving the New Right,” a New York magazine feature by the writer Sam Adler-Bell. Tormented…

Shamefully, I initially told my companions that I thought the whimbrels were godwings. I regret the error, my first, and apologize to my friends and to all shorebirds and their families everywhere.

I want to get ahead of this before the news leaks and I have to do damage control. On the beach in Ventura now there are a bunch of willets, sanderlings, and plovers, as well as some whimbrels.

The meta-joke here is that an AI-aided attempt to label the cow tools as metaphorical representations of various LLM models yielded a misaligned set of words and added arrows that make no sense.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

On the old site I used to sometimes ask Jurickson Profar and Mike Napoli if they were friends. Never got an answer.

Alex Vesia has grown a quite large beard, attempting the tricky transition from “lefty bullpen guy (wet-looking)” to “lefty bullpen guy (beardo)” and frankly I believe he can pull it off.

I picked a funny season to commit to buying an Ikon pass. You gotta give me that.

to learn all about these recondite matters, your best way is at once to descend into the blubber-room, and have a long talk with its inmates

Benjamin De Kraker O @BenjaminDEKR Follow OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?

The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk") 1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.
