Every single night, rain or shine, this little statue reminds Edinburgh of the most faithful Dog who ever lived. This is Greyfriars Bobby, a legendary Skye Terrier who spent 14 years guarding the grave of his master, John Gray, in the nearby kirkyard after he passed away in 1858 from tuberculosis until his own death in 1872. He became a symbol of loyalty, love, and unwavering devotion, and Edinburgh never forgot him... 🐶 ❤️.

Fuck you.

You'd need to be paid $10,000 a week to have the same spending power as a kid working McDonalds in July of 1971 The math says it's that bad now

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.  When you take the subway, when you share a TikTok, when you talk to your Alexa at home, they are collecting your data and figuring out new ways to weaponize it. Now, they are using AI tools to automate this so it is not only pervasive, but that it is effortless. We must sound the alarm now.

AOC: Just a few years ago, Sam Altman came before congress. In a direct plea, he begged us to regulate this industry. He said that these tools were under no circumstances ready, nor should they be integrated into weapons of war. That we must impose severe regulations immediately to prevent mass layoffs and to ensure that any productivity that comes with this industry can benefit working people. Three short years later, none of that has happened

It does bother me that it costs money to code now

here's how your company is rotting right this moment: - your senior devs stopped writing code - they ask Claude to generate it, they check that it mostly works, they ask a junior to approve the new PR - a junior who never had a chance to learn about architecture or read the docs can't really explain what you are doing wrong, so they blindly LGTM it - your senior devs stopped thinking - instead they "consult" Claude on making a bunch of strategic decisions; they ask the PM/principal to approve the new architecture - your PMs and principals are too busy (re)discovering the joy of producing 10k LOC, so they don't care if what you are doing is wrong, so they blindly LGTM it

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Going to be very funny when it turns out humans are cheaper than tokens

lol. An American President. Getting angry at the British. For turning up late to a war. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuck. These historically illiterate cunts are pure comedy.

Can we have this button fucking everywhere

A paradox I can’t get over in light of this stuff: you need junior employees to do repetitive tasks for you, the more senior expert. If you totally automate it, your need for the juniors vanishes However, you were once a junior doing those tasks, and you were trained through them to get to where you are. If that path is cut out entirely, where will the senior technical experts come from?

Bang on. The older versions were way more fun to play.

Ghostty will now auto-generate a full, cohesive 256-color theme from just the base 16-color palette. This makes it significantly easier to make custom themes that are beautiful (just define 16 colors). See the demo below showing multiple themes fully generated. Thanks to Jake Stewart who contributed this to Ghostty and made a nice write-up explaining the background and approach: gist.github.com/jake-stewart/0…

All this breathless AI doomer shit is breaking me. Stop. Is EVERYONE this stupid? Anthropic, OpenAI & SpaceXAI or whatever tf it is, have over a trillion dollars at stake trying to cash out in IPOs to retail dummies. It’s all a psyop. Nothing “big is coming” except a crash. 😐 The only “progress” in AI is making bigger and bigger demos of shit that doesn’t work right. “Agents” are just loops, where massive amounts of energy are expended to do stuff people already do, but WORSE. “Claude” and “Moltbot” and all these “massive breakthroughs” are nothing of the sort. They’re just the expected result of throwing more and more insanely unproductive energy at a problem that doesn’t need solving. Anthropic’s “big advancement” that was supposedly so scary was spending $20,000 to have 16 different chatbots churn for two weeks to come out with a dysfunctional piece of software that is among the most documented in the world: a C compiler. It’s pure hype. These things have yet to show they do real work. Every time the AI industry finds a problem they can solve badly, they try to fix the problems by trying to solve something more complicated instead of making something that works. But every time, lo and behold, it’s still just a worse version of the more complicated thing. There are real dangers, and real opportunities with AI. Neural networks, which is all chatbots really are, have been useful for decades, and someday I’m sure one of these experiments will produce something meaningful. In the meantime, calm down. Stop feeding into the hype. And don’t pay these people any money.

Elon Musk is so unlikable that not even the cabal of billionaire pedophiles want to hang out with him. Dude truly has no friends and will die alone

Dear European citizens, Last week, we encouraged you to switch to European tech solutions and support Europe’s digital sovereignty. Today, we want to share a concrete list of alternatives to help you move from foreign tech companies to European ones. If you think other existing solutions deserve more visibility, feel free to share them in the comments. Digital sovereignty starts with action. ✊🇪🇺 Switch to Europe. Now.

snowstorm hack, zerobrew is a drop-in brew replacement. borrowing principles from uv (concurrent downloads, content-addressable store), it’s ~5x faster cold and ~20x faster than homebrew. try it out! github.com/lucasgelfond/z…

Blimey.

English football is in a bad place. - Semenyo should be cup tied, but isn’t. - It’s only possible to sign Semenyo because 115 charges of financial doping have been outstanding for 4 years. - 1/3rd of those charges are for obstructing the investigation. - Semenyo scores.
