@ablata_at_alba Not really a meaningful difference between running a stop sign and failure to yield at a congested intersection posted as a 4-way stop, which is where I see the most near misses.
English
many jurisdictions allow cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs
Jade@jda
AI turret that tazes cyclists who run stop signs and appear older than ~21 (and/or mandatory licensing). I am quite blackpilled on urban bike riding adults because they're the group with the most casual lawbreaking that I see and their level of entitlement just makes it worse.

I think if cyclists break the law try to evade police, police should be able to ram them. Give a week of notice that this is gonna happen. Then tell police "We will support you in all but the most egregious incidents. We expect some rammings."

Fwiw the problem was never that AI slop was going to overwhelm security teams: the problem was that having their hidden technical debt all called in at once was going to overwhelm them. Chrome having as many bugs as it still does is the perfect case example.

people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

I have a normal bedroom tyvm
(3/4 of these are antediluvian pictures, but I put everything more or less back where it was afterward, except the desk, which obviously changed)

@linkbutalt This is why I was fairly insistent on Maya getting a bedframe when we first moved in together :P

Do RCTs even have a place in individualized healthcare?
Aren’t they artifacts of untargeted population-level interventions?

Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

@ChristianityOn What do you think accounts for the overlap?
Consequence of the progressive/liberation advocacy model vs. support-centric models? Something as simple as autistic theory of mind x the number of autistic trans people?
English
same thing for autism and autistic communities
Cassie Pritchard@hecubian_devil
Really the best thing you can do for yourself as a trans person online is extricate yourself from trans online “communities” ASAP. They’re viper-pits of insane people and they *will* come after you. Everyone gets their turn in the stocks in these little digital villages.

@TransAndMerican Curious why for E?
The several pages of “side effects” isn’t enough to scare the actually guys away from it?

I think it should be relatively quick to get t and puberty blockers.
I think it should take a significant period of counseling before estrogen.

@yuanyi_z Don’t get me started on the loss of special protection/civilian status for hospitals, schools etc. They simply refuse to accept that the rules allow for it at all.

I was on a podcast to talk about my essay I wrote about having transient gender dysphoria
Agree to Disagree About Gender@A2GAboutGender
Episode 9 is up! Our interview with Jon Machnee from Christianity On The Spectrum (@ChristianityOn ), who as a teenager suffered from severe gender dysphoria, which unusually spontaneously remitted In this wide ranging discussion, we discuss his post dysphoria life, the influence of autism, and how his experience can inform the discussion and decisions of other sufferers youtu.be/D_KE0uDOx1M?si…

One of the challenges I see at work is people trying to build systems that place API calls to externally hosted LLMs in the critical path.
Is often because they aren’t skilled enough to figure out how to use LLMs to put in the work up front to not need them in the critical path.

.@USWREMichael says the Maduro raid was the trigger point for the DoW’s conflict with Anthropic: “Palantir’s the prime contractor. [Anthropic] is the sub.” “One of [Anthropic’s] execs called Palantir and asked, ‘Was our software used in that raid?’” “So— they’re trying to get classified information. And implying— if they were used in that raid, that it might violate their terms of service.” “It raised enough alarm with Palantir, who has a trusted relationship with the Department, to tell me, and I’m like, ‘Holy shit— what if this software went down? Some guardrail kicked up? Some refusal happened for the next fight like this one and we left our people at risk?” “I went to @SecWar @PeteHegseth and told him what happened.” “That was like a ‘Woah’ moment for the whole leadership at the Pentagon that we’re potentially so dependent on a software provider without another alternative that has the right or ability to not only shut it off— maybe it’s a rogue developer who could poison the model to make it not do what you want, or trick you, or hallucinate purposefully.” “That culminated in the Tuesday dramatic meeting with Secretary Hegseth and me and Dario with the Friday deadline that got blown.” “I never really thought they wanted to make it.” @DoWCTO @emilmichael on @theallinpod

@RGB_Lights That only works for static
code review.
It doesn't work for dynamic
code review.
Show me an LLM that can
find a race condition.
Show me an llm that can
find a runtime dereference vulnerability.
LLMs are good at identifying
static code vulnerabilities.
But that's a small fraction.
