I’m glad you have family members who you are close with.

Blood is thicker than water does not hold true for many people though, sadly. Especially not queer people.

100%. The Cybertruck came out after Elon went full right wing asshole.

I’d love if the coasts just left the US and joined Canada.

He was already going to fire them anyway. I’m not really sure how it matters either way. Giving Trump the power of the purse just alllws him to make these firings legal.

Assuming Trump will be around. His cognitive decline has been steep, and he’s just been a convenient vehicle for others to gain power. I wouldn’t be surprised if they invoked the 25th Amendment.

I was worried about this since people were whipping a frenzy about how this had to be antifa.

The shooter is a white male gun enthusiast Republican. How awkward for MAGA.

Yeah, fuck ‘em. Don’t apologize.

In addition to what you’ve mentioned, don’t forget it’s the same groups of people who want to give guns more rights than women/people of color/LGBTQ+. After reading things like this… you realize you shouldn’t be apologizing because these people don’t give a shit.

Yes and no. I compare it to a graphing calculator: I know how to graph a parabola by hand already, but I don’t want to have to do it over and over already. That’s just busy work for me.

LLMs are similar that way. There’s often a lot of boilerplate to get out of the way that’s just busy work to write over and over again. LLMs are great at generating some of that scaffolding.

LLMs have also become a lot more helpful as Google search has gotten worse over time.

Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

According to the report, while 54 percent of developers canvassed said there had been no layoffs at their company over the last year, 35 percent said either they or their colleagues had lost their jobs.

Yeah, its 35% of the people canvassed for this report. Even then, not all those people were laid off - some of them are people who know somebody who was impacted.

Really glad to see this. I’m appalled at how little grad students are paid given their very large role in keeping universities afloat (teaching classes and helping with research).

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.
