Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

@a16z is the high quality software in the room with us right now?
English
Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available.
"We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully."
"It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it."
"Those days are just over."
"If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it."
"Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy."

🆕 Marc Andreessen’s 2026 AI Thesis: Agents, Open Source, and Why This Time Is Different latent.space/p/pmarca @pmarca of @a16z says AI people keep swinging between utopian and apocalyptic for one simple reason: this field has been “almost here” for 80 years. But now, the breakthroughs are no longer theoretical. Reasoning, coding, agents, and self-improvement are all starting to work at once. This episode goes deep on AI winters, OpenAI + OpenClaw, infrastructure overbuild risk, proof-of-human, why software may soon be written mostly for bots, and why the real bottleneck may be society adopting AI rather than the models improving.

imo there shouldn't be turnstiles there should just be a surveillance aparatus that counts up your debt and then you get arrested and get autonomously shot by war claude

@JustPlants31 literally my first reaction was, “wtf happened to spongebob”

There's something about the art of this scene that looks like a screenshot from Spongebob.

@championswimmer it appears you are the one that does not follow through. considering that hash(uppercase(password)) will be different from hash(password), how could they cohere the two without looking at a prehashed password?
English
The stupidity of people who read password hashing for 2 min in a CS101 class and never cared to follow through with any better understanding of cryptography. 🤦♂️
This is so easily explained by the fact that HSBC was just doing hash(uppercase(pass)) before and will do just hash(pass) now
vx-underground@vxunderground
1. This isn't fake. 2. Credentials are stored as hashes. It should be literally, with no exaggeration, impossible for a vendor to know your credentials while uppercase UNLESS they weren't storing passwords as hashes. What the fuck is HSBC India doing?

@SYNESTHEIZURE it’s not “missing the point,” it’s an awful demo. you can’t see or are ignoring the difference; that’s why we have project managers

Python doesn’t care about performance.
You’d think it cares about correctness.
No.
You’d think it cares about static types.
Also no.
You’d think it cares about tooling.
Also no.
You’d think it cares about coding practices.
Also no.
You think it cares about security.
Also no.

had too many students not able to install latex on their computers, and the only way they write tex documents is on Overleaf. This feels wrong. Tex is supposed to be open software, but still being used via an enshittified entity, online dependent. It shouldn't be like this
Reddit Lies@reddit_lies
No lies detected. It's actually insane how smartphones effectively ruined computer literacy for younger Gen Z and Alpha.

@CNLiberalism incredibly brave thing to post while the government is, literally, occupied by a cabal of child rapists

Fortunately for Speakers past, present and future, the bar for "worst House Speaker of all time" is so incredibly high that it will probably remain the same until the U.S. no longer exists

Johnson is the worst Speaker of my lifetime.

@javgomzar @Jonathan_Blow in order for american health care spending to approach the levels switzerland is at we would need to see healthcare costs decrease 33%, not 4%. but i guess im just a stupid leftist. 96% of $12,555 is probably $8,059 (and not some totally random number like $12,052).
English
@dirkbreeze @Jonathan_Blow Really? You think reducing prices a 4% (lets reduce it to Switzerland values) will solve the problem? Seems to me like an irrelevant reduction that won’t solve any problem. Since you like graphs let me send you one too. How is this not the source of the problem?
English
I don’t think breaking up insurance companies will solve much, but this is absolutely a huge economic problem that is deeply hurting the US economy.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

the greatest tragedy of the sophomoric “DOGE” project was convincing people that *seriously* going after real cases of fraud, waste, and abuse is a bad idea. also, putting the three of them together is foolish, because waste is the primary issue here

@C_Sommerfeldt i, for one, am absolutely stunned that the owner, and beneficiary of, a tremendous number of nyc groceries is continuing to own and benefit from a tremendous number of nyc grocery stores. never saw this coming.

John Catsimatidis, the GOP megadonor and grocery store magnate, just walked into City Hall for his meet with Mamdani.
He brought a copy of his own book as a gift for Mamdani and didn't sound set on closing his grocery stores anymore (he said last year he would if Mamdani won).
