It's harder to grind out the tokens when you're oncall. 😢

119 hours left to hit my weekly quota. Sure as hell not leaving any tokens on the table. 😈
tbh this is the most google thing ever
When there is no ballistic evidence, no damage from gunfire, no injuries, & DHS isn’t providing video evidence of the claim from their agents that someone fired shots, then I am going to call bullshit based on the 2 months of fabricated stories by federal officials that have been debunked by videos.
Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones."

Me: Do the thing. But right this time.
Claude Code: 'This was a great example of why you asked "What evidence do you have?" - it forced me to dig deeper and find the actual root cause! 🎯'
Me: OK, but you still did it wrong. Ask your boss for help.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
The ability to move freely without ID is the bellwether of a truly free society. “Papers please” is the antithesis of freedom IMHO. We (in the US) allowed this to be eroded, mostly for controlling alcohol sales. Europeans have been very resistant to this, I guess they understand the consequences.

What @notalawyer.bsky.social said.
I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Ironic: Gartner had my post ridiculing Gartner removed. The one that shared Gartner's Magic Quadrant about AI Code Assistants, which does not include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and ranks Amazon above Cursor.
This one: github.blog/ai-and-ml/gi...
Are they embarrassed to share their Magic Quadrant?
Nice. Always good to see a pic of Doug’s giant bike. One of these days I’m sure we’ll see you one of the 32-inchers that they keep showing at MADE.
When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
Kirk waged a national campaign to tarnish MLK's legacy. This was last year.
It's finally happening!

Apple Anti-Corruption Policy Corruption can take many forms, but most often it occurs through bribery. At Apple, we do not tolerate any form of corruption in connection with our business dealings. If you are unsure of the proper course of action, or whether something constitutes corruption, contact Business Conduct. Bribery A bribe is offering or giving anything of value to any person for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, or securing an improper advantage. You cannot offer or receive bribes from any individual, regardless of whether that individual is a public official or a private party. Anything of value includes cash, cash equivalents such as gift cards, gifts, meals, travel and entertainment, and can also include a promise, or guarantee of something of value. Anything of value can also include job offers. Apple does not offer employment of any kind, including internships and contract positions, in order to obtain or retain business or gain a business advantage. Please refer to the Anti-Corruption Recruiting Policy for additional information.
And every year, Apple employees have to sit through mandatory compliance training only to watch the CEO publicly violate it.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
The best thing the US could do right now -- for its economy or for decarbonization -- is make electricity cheaper. Here's how:
Note the very top priority:
1. Get as much electricity as you can from local solar. This has two components…
a. Make rooftop solar the cheapest form of energy anywhere & do as much as possible.
b. Get as much as you can from local commercial and public-space solar that is within the “community.”
And that, kids, is why it’s called “cray cray”
This is an absolutely fascinating article about a very bizarre event. Obviously from my perspective the most interesting angle here is the fact that ChatGPT is clearly just spinning SCP-esque containment documentation at Lewis
