I have no special insight into the NYC mayoralty but I am just really stoked that this "we have the best city in the world, let's have fun in it" turned out to be a true reflection of the political movement and not some hollow triangulated strategem devoid of substance

"Labour is a bad party because they would be willing to go into coalition with our current coalition partner" really is quite something

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage.
A woman answers the door.
We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! 
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness
Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman,
the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them.
Do not cry mother. 
I am a writer now.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Whenever Luxon talks about "not repeating the mistakes of covid", I want to scream.

Saving 20,000 lives was not a "mistake". And a regime which thinks it was are simply murderous monsters.

These ChatGPT videos are hilarious and viral... But this stuff remains a real and somewhat unavoidable problem with LLMs in general.

It's just a big example of a fundamental weakness of the technology.

UK pauses its plan to cede Chagos Islands after US opposition Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said London would try to persuade Washington to give its formal approval.

I guess the UK is now a colony of America, unable to act in foreign policy without US approval. www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...
