It’s def gotten much better than it was. Can’t confirm the veracity, but my service advisor said they die more in the winter, so maybe there’s some seasonal variation to it. I was one of six cars waiting for an indeterminate arrival of parts.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

Yeah I noticed on Friday towards the end of my bike ride that my wheels were getting yellow. And then last night I foolishly left a car out on the driveway ☠️

I’ve wondered that about mine, a 23 ioniq that we got late 24. PO put 14k miles on it so they were obviously using it, but what convinced them to take what must have been a big hit since we got it for like $30k under new

I was an elder foilist at a saber club and I’d occasionally suit up and bout the saber kids. It was always fun since they’d be flabbergasted about someone using the tip against them.

I mean, supporting Israel to trigger Armageddon has been a core tenet of far-right US Christians for decades now. Even if he himself doesn’t believe it, he’s surrounded by people who most certainly do.

I know a bunch of Aussies and Euros that came over here for school back in the day which, fair enough, but now they’ve all planted roots here and I don’t get it. I guess it’s hard to pick up and move your life, even if you’re nominally returning home

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

The problem is that if the tire blew, you don’t necessarily know if it took anything out with it — those things are pumped to like 200psi and shrapnel is a legit concern. So you get to do a precautionary landing to check.

I had a blast with the first four or so levels, but further on they seem to get more and more balanced to co-op which can make solo a real slog

Captain America comic #1 with an edit to place a caricature of Ilhan Omar over Cap so she is punching Hitler instead of Cap. The comic masthead has also been changed to her name.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
