Ooh… the TMNT ones!

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Tired: Coincidence.

Wired: Co-incidents.

I want every computer, including cellphones, to have this light.

Alarmed by President Trump's threat to eliminate a whole civilization" in Iran on Tuesday, more than a quarter of congressional Democrats have called for Trump's removal from office, either through impeachment or by his cabinet stripping him of power through the 25th Amendment. Many raised concerns about the president's soundness of mind and said his post to social media threatening widespread civilian destruction was evidence that he was not mentally fit to hold office.

It should be 100%

Regarding current world affairs, I suppose it *is* TACO Tuesday…

Every driver was once (as a child) and will again be a non-driver, due to age, temporary or permanent disability, or illness. How do you want to live when that happens? Why not do/want at least some of that now?

Post on r/udub (University of Washington subreddit) This entire CS school is depressingly obsessed with Al. ldk if this is just a me problem, but here's my little rant... I came to UW CS because I love programming and computers and creating fun nerdy stuff... but everybody in this department feels absolutely crosseyed obsessed with generative Al. I have professors straight up encouraging Al coding (what happened to learning?), ML-based projects shoehorned into classes that should have nothing to do with it whatsoever, and it feels impossible to find research that's not based on generative Al (which is a bummer, since CS is such a wide and diverse field). If you don't care for this thing which, forgive the harsh language, plagiarizes everything and produces uninspired shit products, it feels like you're hard outta luck here. I get everyone vibe codes in industry, fine, but I'm here to learn, not to get shaped into a dull corporate vibe coder machine. Theory courses are the only ones which feel moderately safe from this stuff. I honestly feel like switching majors, but I get that it'd be a stupid thing to do at this point. Does anybody feel this way or am I an old person yelling at a cloud?

Okay here’s a fresh AI angle: current CS student just wants to learn to code

OH: "An incident? ON APRIL FOOLS DAY?!!"

So… did it happen?

Wouldn’t tomorrow be funnier?

The planet Jupiter with its cloud bands seen in shades of pink, rusty red, blue, and purple. The Great Red Spot is a deep navy blue, surrounded by bands and swirls of pink, and light blue.

Hubble's ultraviolet view of Jupiter shows the planet in hues of pink and blue.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

This show was so unhinged... I loved it.

At least Big Tobacco had the gall to look their customers straight in the eye and, with a straight face, tell us "cigarettes will cure anything that ails ya, from asthma to bad breath to the common cold!"

One reason why the East Wing resonates with people is that it will be incredibly difficulty, divisive and costly to undo this shit. And in that respect it serves as an apt metaphor for the Trump administration.

New failure mode unlocked: temporally-separated AI agent arguments.

OH: "we can use prediction markets to predict incidents"

OH: “asynchronous transfer of risk” #SREcon

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

Love when /usr/bin/fortune has more apt policy advice than the Secretary of State…

SREcon, here we come!

Signal: come for the actually reliable messaging interoperability between iOS and Android.

Stay for the end-to-end encryption.

Hah, I’ve had that happen too! Those become “cosmo-offs!”

I appreciate when I go to wash my hands (I’m often coming from transit) and my cosmo is waiting for me on the bar when I get back… 🥰

Tut tut… makes for good pâté

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down.

But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.
