"AI will replace u" okay be an eldest daughter in an asian family

Previous scholars have argued that it is so over. In this paper, however, I posit that we are so back

Major scientific breakthrough

Dear makers of women's clothing… Pants pockets should be like poetry. DEEP ENOUGH TO BE MEANINGFUL.

honestly after derry girls used it in the season 1 finale it should have been illegal for anyone else to use it

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

We didn’t fight to work. Women have ALWAYS worked. We fought to get paid.

and for the lady, perhaps an entire week of existing without any responsibilities

I met @lang_lang in Paris 🤯🎹 Today I was playing piano at Gate de Lyon when something incredible happened... Thank you @SteinwayAndSons for allowing us to play piano in the best condition on your amazing two upright pianos!

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetics ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body type — but they don't really understand Rick's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

🚨 Do you understand what's happening at Amazon right now? Their own AI coding agent Kiro reportedly "decided" the fastest way to fix a config error was to delete the entire production environment. Gone. A 6-hour outage. 6.3 million orders lost. Amazon's SVP called thousands of engineers into a mandatory meeting this week. Not to discuss strategy. To discuss damage control. Now here's my prediction and I want you to screenshot this: Amazon won't just ban AI-assisted code. They'll make every engineer personally liable for AI-generated code they approve. Other Big Tech will follow within 6 months. Think about what that means. The same companies that fired thousands of engineers to "restructure around AI" are about to tell the remaining ones.. you're now legally responsible for code you didn't write, can't fully understand, and were told to ship faster. Atlassian fired 1,600 people this morning to go all-in on AI. Replit is hiring kids who vibe code. And Amazon, the company that BUILT one of these AI coding agents just watched it nuke production. The vibe coding era isn't ending. But the "move fast and let AI break things" era is about to hit a wall. And that wall is called liability. Companies wanted AI to replace engineers. Now they need engineers to babysit AI. And they already fired the babysitters.

With all due respect, Math needs to stay in its lane.

"Ensconced in the bottom of this electronic missive, lies information compressed in the deceptively small body of an icon. There, dear reader, you will find the treasures I speak of."

I was arguing with someone about if Matthew Macfadyen is the right choice to play George Smiley. Smiley is the anti James Bond. He's not cool or a ladies man. Everyone underestimates him because he's quiet, awkward and most people think he's a bit of a loser. He knows his wife is always cheating on him but he doesn't leave her. But that all disguises a ruthless cunning. He aligns himself to the ailing, old head of M16 who everyone else is against, which seems like career suicide until it's not. Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you, Agent Tom Wambsgans, MI6.

The WSJ newsroom agreed to take an AI vending machine. Then they declared psychological warfare on it.

story behind "why netflix built fast.com" is brilliant. so, netflix had a massive fight with ISPs around 2014-2016. ISPs were slowing down netflix on purpose. they wanted more money from netflix customers got bad streaming. but ISPs just blamed netflix. netflix had to pay comcast, verizon, at&t and time warner for direct connections to their networks. but in 2016, they launched fast dot com, clever part - It's not testing your general internet speed. It's testing your speed to netflix's servers specifically. so when someone complained about buffering, netflix could say "run fast dot com." If it's slow, the ISP is the bottleneck. suddenly millions of people had a tool to prove their ISP was the problem ISPs couldn't hide anymore. netflix positioned themselves as the transparent good guys fighting for customers while ISPs looked like greedy monopolies they solved a pr problem and a customer service problem with one simple website I guess, that's how you win a corporate war
