Three different Trans friends, all creatives, productive, well-loved people with years in our communities told me they feel they have no choice but to leave the USA for their safety.

They have to start again because of bigot scum, the worst people in our country.

If you bought into the "won't someone PLEASE think of the children" narrative for even a second, you're an idiot and I fucking hate your guts. This was never about kids. Trans people have been saying that since the start. The goal is to slowly legislate trans people out of public life.

are there any OSINT people covering the war that are doing a good, verifiable job w/ their research? I'm interested in understanding what's actually happening from a more military perspective but I don't wanna read some dumbass on twitter who's just reading wiki articles on bombs

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

there is literally nothing wrong with being trans and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist who would kill and/or enslave your entire family at a moment's notice

An underrated reason the "AI" "revolution" is shit, is scraped "generative AI" is a *LOSSY* record of all human data.

An "LLM" model can recreate past images or sentences, but not in the form someone labored over and loved itβ€” it can only preserve it by making it worse. Pirates should be archivists

OK so I got everything done today EXCEPT booking the short-term rental and yeah that's important but my brain is sludge and I think we're gonna call it edible time

illustration of a ginger striped cat, another white cat with black and red patches and another completely white cat, dancing in unison with humans, one with a dinosaur(?) mask on. two in game screenshots in the upper left hand corner of the ad, one of a girl petting the ginger cat, the other screen split into six facial portraits of the ginger cat.

Maybe it's because this is the fifth time I've moved in two years and I will have to move at least once more and many other things that are currently happening, but I'm just about to lose my fucking mind right now

Pretty much everything I've done trying to better understand LLMs makes me want to just do weird little artisanal handcrafted computer shit instead

it feels like probably the best use cases would be like, "analyze this huge tcpdump log and tell me what's going on." Code generation feels very prone to either 1) introducing increasingly obvious problems if you aren't extremely diligent or 2) being slower than just writing the fucking code

For now, my "I would rather just write the fucking code" stance stands

I will continue playing with this and trying to give it a fair shake. But basically I don't like it and don't feel it's particularly useful

The CLI is really slick, but it is saying some very dumb shit right now

My initial take on this is that it's more annoying than useful, but we'll see

I just installed Claude Code on my work computer, which means I'm about to become either an even more hardened anti-AI skeptic or the most annoying person you ever met

I am always telling people that I’m simply enjoying the quiet of the day and conversing with them

20 years from now people might understand a bit better that attempting to rest on a "sex/gender distinction" for trans advocacy and the complete failure of its effectiveness is sort of like if we had done "all humans are biologically heterosexual but being gay is about attraction to aesthetics"

Speaking of, if anyone needs a ui/ux person let me know, someone very dear to me was caught in the layoffs today and is looking for work
