"'This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers with Missouri Workers Center and over 20 local immigrant and racial justice, faith, school, environmental, and civil rights groups,' Terrence Wise said in the statement. 'We will continue fighting to keep masked, unaccountable federal agents out of our communities and for the dignity, respect, and pathway to better citizenship that we all deserve.'"

Don't anthropomorphize LLMs, language is important. Say "the bot generated some text" not "the AI replied". Use "this document contains machine-generated text" not "this work is AI-assisted". See how people squirm when you call out their slop this way.

I can't stop thinking about the LLM-generated compiler that passes all the unit tests but emits inner loops that benchmark over 150,000x slower than a gcc debug build. I couldn't possibly have intentionally come up with such a funny demonstration of the point of genuine expertise https://harshanu.space/en/tech/ccc-vs-gcc/

"Platform Ventures, the development company that owns a south Kansas City warehouse that federal agents toured last month to consider for an immigrant detention center, announced today that it is not moving forward with the sale."

One other feature I like is that by default, SNAC does NOT download all external media. That means the only media you’ll be storing is the media YOU post. This is unlike most fediverse platforms which require a ton of local storage or an S3 bucket

Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details. We have AI assistant Glean integrated into the Slack, and it answered privately to her: "today's siren is just a scheduled test and you do not need to leave your workplace". It was not a test or a drill, it was a real fire alarm. Someday, AI will kill us.

With respect, if "standing in the streets did nothing to hurt them;" they wouldn't be killing people for doing that.

well, it's working! seems like the palette isn't quite right yet though >_>

Somebody would appreciate it if you wouldn't take photos while he's trying to nap.

On this day in 1935, my beloved noble USS Macon slowly sank into the sea off Pt. Sur. All but 2 of her crew survived. I never saw my beloved again.

I am so empty.

Apple Photos desperately needs a way to mark recent photos or an album to keep on-device.

There’s never a better time to sit and edit/sort photos than on the plane home from a trip, but all I have are low-res thumbnails of half of them 😒

In response to the damage (on this day in 1935), Commander Wiley ordered fuel to be dropped, causing the airship to rapidly rise. The Macon's automatic valves released Helium at her 5000 ft ceiling, and she settled into the stormy surf off Pt. Sur. She is still there.
