@RixxJavix 14 years 4 mo. Did you use Digg or Slashdot?

I’ve been on Reddit for 13 years as of today. Yikes, I wonder if that one dude from Bombers Bar has hated me the whole time? Lolz 😂

@EveOnline I saw this guy get doomsdayed by an Avatar. Very unfair. #justiceForConvict

If you've visited Jita IV-4 recently, you may have seen Lei Aulmais in their bright yellow Avalanche sitting on the undock. What's the weirdest thing you've seen in Jita, #Tweetfleet? #EVEOnline

@b6nbrown I hear your local quarry is nice this time of year

It’s time to go diving, but I live on the East Coast now so my go-to of the Big Island doesn’t make sense anymore. Where in the Caribbean should I go from DC (direct flights only)?

@cnnbrk Can we do microplastics and forever chemicals first??

The US Surgeon General wants warning labels like those on cigarettes to be placed on social media apps, citing the mental health crisis among teens cnn.it/3VIwsds

@mpopv Nailed it

Lots of these funny Waluigi Effect examples floating around with DALL-E. An interesting question might be: how would you prompt to actually achieve a subtle, hard-to-spot elephant? Is it possible?

@eshear The limiting factor is the underlying compute power needed which will not increase to infinity given it needs to be paid for...

Hence the idea that AI goes FOOM. Right around when it hits human capability we should expect it to very rapidly surpass human capability, and then rapidly surpass that level of capability, and so on until it hits some asymptote.

And of course since doubling how good the AI is itself feeds back into how much of the process can be automated, all things being equal you'll get from 98% automated to 99% automated *faster* than you'll get from 1% to 2%.

@delonewolf1 Some dangerous mining

@TheEconomist I'm sure this public anxiety is completely natural and uninfluenced by paid promotions and astroturfing by marketing departments at bottling companies.

Rising disposable incomes in China and public anxiety about the safety of tap water have fuelled demands for bottled water econ.trib.al/INtDpYA

@paulmozur @TonyRomm How many Americans use WeChat for business communications with their suppliers in China? This seems... not well thought out.

Incredible to see this unfolding. To me WeChat is a much bigger deal. TikTok was made because the Great Firewall cut China off, but WeChat is one of the few apps that actually spans the filters and links communities within and outside China. Of course there will be workarounds...

@PCMag Price is $79-99 not what you listed.

The budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy A10e looks good, but it falls behind other affordable Android phones on a number of other fronts: trib.al/Zl5tZz4

@FredCityGovt @frederickded Do you know of anyone maintaining a list of restaurants that are fully set up & ready to go?

We are excited to announce "Pop Up Dining" in Frederick to support our restaurants in their recovery. Learn more about the options available to restaurants at cityoffrederickmd.gov/popupdining or reach out to @frederickded youtu.be/9p_8yYcy9kc

@doctorow To what extent is the Ferguson system ‘set in stone’ by, for example, laws, judicial decisions, preexisting contracts, etc? Hopefully she will not face insurmountable obstacles.

Ferguson is not alone in funding itself through legal harassment. In America, the Blacker a city is, the more it fines its residents. priceonomics.com/the-fining-of-… Jones's win a small step, and long overdue, but it's also a small sliver of goodness in a time of rage and sorrow. eof/

The #BlackLivesMatter movement began in the #Ferguson uprising, whose proximate cause was the police murder of Michael Brown, but whose context was a city that survived by immiserating and incarcerating Black people. 1/

@doctorow Both property rights and human rights are useful mental constructs to form a functioning and efficient society.

It's the difference of equal protections and duties under the law, as opposed to impunity for the powerful and the legalized oppression of the powerless. eof/

It's a commonplace that labels like "left" and "right" don't mean anything, but that's not true. 1/

@scottjohnson Ironically, the max YouTube resolution is 720p

You MUST see this Unreal 5 demo. youtube.com/watch?v=qC5Kta…

Who made this?

@scottlynch78 The only part of the mask you should touch after donning is the band behind your ears.

So, I drew you a cartoon. It's about a guy named Eggbert. And there's a thread that goes with poor Eggbert...

@DrMattMcCarthy Current CDC recommendation is to cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough ... but not cover your mouth with a mask when you cough because ... ???

NEW: CDC guidance on masks expected to change in next 10 days. Americans will be advised to wear masks in everyday life. Current recommendation is for high-risk groups only.

@DC101 @mikejonesradio Check out this cover! youtube.com/watch?v=60NuAv…

@VirusWhisperer Ubiquitous fever checks, contact tracing (1800 teams for Wuhan outbreak … 95+% follow up), efficient fever clinics, masks for everyone, GPS tracking for population.

#COVID19 #CoronavirusPandemic I’ve thinking about 🇨🇳 & why no significant rise in cases even as ppl start going back to work & restrictions are lifted gradually. See graph👇. Before trolls start hurling venom about the CPC; remember: half our PPE supplies come from China.

@katestarbird Good news: Reaching out to 5? 10? people and getting them to correct their tweets could have an outsized effect. Need tools to identify the *ahem* super spreaders
