worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Students have more power than politicians want to admit.

Your rent is here. Your tuition is here. Your vote should be here too.

Early voting in Chicago has already started. Don’t sit this one out.

No, they don’t.

Firstly, they’re not trained on everything ever, even the criminals in charge of AI companies haven’t managed to steal everything yet.

Secondly, knowledge doesn’t derive from the statistical proximity of word and sentence fragments.

I always ask people who want to build some nonsense:
- how will you know that it worked?
- what can you do if it didn't?

The answer is usually: we won't, and nothing. It never occurs to them that the idea might not be an inevitable success, despite ALL prior experience to the contrary.

for reference, skipping across water/lava is only possible when you tap the jump button right as you make contact with its surface. it makes it a somewhat tricky mechanic that could come in handy if there's a long stretch of lava or water in the stage that you want to skip

if you're transitioning does that mean you get a rude tag

I’ve been trying to build this for years. Finally getting there.

Palette analysis like DawnBringer or Censor, but in real time.

I want feedback while picking colors, not after the fact. I think this direct feedback loop makes it much easier to make informed decisions when composing a palette.

How to Talk to Someone Experiencing 'AI Psychosis' Mental health experts say identifying when someone is in need of help is the first step — and approaching them with careful compassion is the hardest, most essential part that follows.

[highlight]The chatbot he used was Chai’s default personality, named Eliza[end highlight]. It shares a name with the world’s first chatbot, ELIZA, a natural language processing computer program developed by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT in 1964. ELIZA responded to humans primarily as a psychotherapist in the Rogerian approach, also known as “person-centered” therapy, where “unconditional positive regard” is practiced as a core tenet. The researchers working on ELIZA identified from the beginning that their chatbot posed an interesting problem for the humans talking to them. “ELIZA shows, if nothing else, how easy it is to create and maintain the illusion of understanding, hence perhaps of judgment deserving of credibility,” Weizenbaum wrote in his 1966 paper. “A certain danger lurks there.”

we have invented ELIZA, from the popular book "don't invent ELIZA"

「トランス女性は女性」　タイ、法的には認められず―寛容イメージでも課題・国際女性デー：時事ドットコム ２０２５年１月に東南アジアで初めて同性婚を合法化し、性的少数者に対して寛容なイメージが根付くタイ。タイ観光庁も「ＬＧＢＴＱ＋フレンドリーな国」としてアピールする。一方で性別変更は法的に認められておらず、支援者らは、出生時の性別と性自認が異なるトランスジェンダーの女性が「法的手続きでは男性を演じる必要があり、精神的負担は大きい」と指摘。当事者や支援者の「トランス女性は女性」という訴えが、法律に阻まれ...
