I hope Americans are prepared for a very violent future. If we do not do something about this President and his threats/actions then we will not have peace. Globally we will be ostracized even after he is long gone. I don’t think people realize how bad this is.
Ooh, a safe-for-work version of "Clusterfuck" 😎
Quantization can make an LLM 4x smaller and 2x faster, with barely any quality loss. But what *is* it? @samwho.dev crafted a beautiful interactive essay explaining it from first principles, aimed at coders, not mathematicians.

Huh? They couldn't even get the head to look like it belongs on the shoulders.
Wait, actually... I'm not surprised at all.
NEW: They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.
Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care.

Is the reason to avoid AI summaries because of use of one's info / security / privacy? Or because of the real possibility of falsehoods / hallucinations in the responses?
Not entirely clear to me from the article.
So the outcry which got him to delete the post came... Now? Now is when enough people got it? This is how far it had to go? And why this particular instance? A video where black people are the apes is the only thing in the past 10 years which triggered the "Ok, now this really _is_ racism" alarm?
Saute pan with concentric rainbow circles radiating out from the center
Never seen the heat tint in my pan so beautifully arranged in concentric circles

Yeah, I'm thankful my parents divorced before I even have memories. Wasn't easy growing up with divorced parents, but I'm _completely_ sure it would have been even harder had they stayed together
To those who haven't read it - this is a surprisingly great book, and not just because it's a well-written fantasy tale - it's a little absurdist, placed in inconsistent time settings, having characters seemingly from different books all together. It's much much more than just unicorns and rainbows!
Maybe it was never actually about getting rid of the most immigrants. Maybe it was always just about getting to do violence on people they don't like.
hooo boy, look at you wearing the hell out of that shirt, Amir 😎
Tanking the Iran nuclear deal years ago was one of the first steps. 🤦
Target gift card. 'Cause, i probably ain't gonna use it.
Happy Obama Appreciation Day
I also like that the edges of the bridge/rain are accentuated by the larger drops from the gathered water on the bridge
Ermahgerd!!!
"but we somehow also believe money is speech and in free speech and that canceling things is bad"
The current cabinet's understanding of security is at the level of "if I use incognito/private mode, no one can know that I look at porn". Just because Signal is encrypted, doesn't mean people can't find out what you do.
It can't just have gone un-thought-of by the room of decision-makers who gave the product a thumbs up! 😅🤷
What else can help me dull the longing I still feel from the disappearance of Four Loko?
Taking a page from @amirtalai.bsky.social 's book:
I looove it when a scientist gets interviewed on a podcast and completely cannot contain how nerdy they are, even outside of their domain of expertise.
Ah crap. Gonna be ready for all my vanquished enemies to respawn.
Numbers don't lie to people - people lie to people.
Good point! updated technology, because they care
YES. you beat me to the punch. It's been at least 25 years since an update.
In general, it would be great to have a term for "I'm gonna ask you for something which may seem like a drag, but it will only be _very_ temporary, or will turn out to cost you essentially nothing, and you'll get to feel like a mensch". Gah, Germans almost for sure have word for something like that.
It would grease the gears of highway traffic if there were a special turn signal for "i'm gonna get in in your lane, but only in order to keep going", as opposed to "i'm gonna get in your lane, and then you'll have to stare at the back of my car for an indefinite period"
Good news: the fires are 100% contained! Perimeters have been established!
Bad news: this means less attention to the fact that fires are *still burning* and incarcerated firefighters are still getting paid pennies to fight them.
So if you haven't yet, make a donation and I'll thank you on video!
