@halogen1048576 This is peak stupid. And it is also not journalism, because he became part of the conflict on purpose.

This is funny as shit but if you watch it carefully, it's a JDAM strike on the bridge. The reason it doesn't kill them is it was fused to detonate inside the structure for blast, not frag effect. They were hit because they were incidentally standing on the target.

My close friend and colleague Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve is nearly killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon. Their vehicles are clearly marked as Press. They wear Press markings. He's alive. What more can we say.

I wonder if apple still does this. This prototype PCB appears to be a "proof of concept" board before it was miniaturized into something small. This is a great idea if you have concerns that your concept for whatever reason will not work. So, you build a simple cheaper version of it first to demonstrate that it does work before investing more.

@soychotic Windows was never this bad. Some hiccups, sure, but it is lacking behind macOS so much that it's scary.

They’ve just gotta be fucking joking at this point

Microsoft when they decide that, despite owning a product named GitHub Copilot, they’re going to rename bing chat to Copilot but also introduce another Copilot for Microsoft 365 which is not the same as Copilot (formerly bing chat) on windows or the github Copilot that they own

@jonatanpallesen I don't think this will be the outcome. I can see it going down slightly and reverting around 2050.
Making it symmetrical is absurd, because the postwar population growth was more intense than the current issue with replacement levels.

The total number of smart people in the world has just peaked.
And now it's about to crash.
English
They're pushing money printing to the limit, to perform equity capture. The problem is that they will keep their share during crashes, because it is all architected.
The tech sector is the leading market for those operations. Start any nonsense company, borrow money on top of the fake valuation, to invest in other people's fake tickers.

The positive thing about the acid dissolution of the West: there isn’t a single atom in my body that’s stressed about this type of thing anymore. The “nation” that accrued this debt has nothing to do w/ me. It’s the replacement population’s problem. Not my nation, not my debt
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie
The debt passed $39 trillion today. Paying a trillion dollars of interest annually on this debt causes hardship for tax-payers and robs us of resources that could otherwise be used for infrastructure or national defense. And ultimately, this debt will enslave our grandchildren.

@e_considine @haugejostein This lot looks kind of sus. They were probably asked to build this to manage groundwater issues.

I live right next to the US embassy in London.
They built an actual moat around it.
Who builds a moat around their embassy? Countries that do bad things and expect retaliation. Or countries who do diplomacy as if we’re in the Middle Ages.

@haugejostein Can you show us on the doll where the building touched you?

@DispairSoftware Yes, this is why the picture is there, to shame Raghav

to everyone doubting this man, he is using Klein D2000-9NE linemans pliers.

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Except as a rage bait, I can't see why anyone would make that point. No, AI can't make barely functional people do anything new.

@GregNotSure @jonatanpallesen Are you? The number quoted represents the top 97th to 98th of the adult population.
Just saying, don't get ahead of yourself faceless man with a cartoon avatar.

Chinese suppliers: yo guys check out our stuff we are so eager to sell you our stuff we will do business on whatever app you doomscroll on please let us sell you our stuff
North American suppliers: contact us for a quote but actually you will never hear a word from us ever

If you get deep enough into TikTok your feed becomes mostly Chinese commodity wholesalers

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Oh, you're not on that chart, it seems

@jonatanpallesen In a world of generative AI and robotics, does this even matter?
Today somebody with an 80 IQ can vibe code a web site, and use AI to deliver the marketing material and help with budgeting he needs to sell his farm produce.

@SNAFU_Sara @marcorandazza The reality is that people love to be hyperbolic about allergies, because it is just like claiming to be autistic: it's a trophy.
"Omg, I'm so allergic to peanuts that if someone eats that right next to me, I might die" - This is just a cry for attention 99.999% of the time.
English
@SNAFU_Sara @marcorandazza Anyone "that allergic" for airborne particles has a very low quality of life and this is highly visible. Most people who think they're "that allergic" are actually the usual case of "if I eat one ounce of this, I will have a reaction".
English
I have such an irrational prejudice toward peanut allergy people. I do not defend it. I merely confess it. But I can't fucking stand them.

I’m testing our new CNC automation systems. If you need 10+ units of something, qty discount is now 70%. While capacity lasts.

The man who wanted to cancel rent, ban evictions, and provide free legal help to nonpaying tenants wants you to become a landlord and rent out your backyard or basement.
Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
One of the hardest fought wins in the big City of Yes zoning change was the legalization of “Ancillary Dwelling Units” (ADUs)—a tiny house in the back yard, home over a garage, basement apartment etc. This zoning change could unlock as much as 25k desperately needed new homes in NYC’s low-density neighborhoods…but only if homeowners take advantage it. Now @NYCHousing is launching new tools to help: find out if your address qualifies, access low-interest financing, see pre-made designs etc. All here: nyc.gov/aduforyou This is just one more way housing creation in NYC is entering a whole new era. Thanks to all who fought hard for this.
