They legitimately thought my unicycling game STREET UNI X was manipulated by Sweet Baby to have a trans person in the trailer and in the game when really it is that way because I am that person and I made the game and the trailer exactly how I wanted to make it
Thr South Korean president criticized Israel, Israel got super mad about the mention of the Holocaust, and not the far worse reference. The president compared them to imperial Japan, which is like the worst thing a Korean can call anyone or anything www.theverge.com/policy/91358...

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill.
But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

since yes, it seems clear that "making good money right now" is absolutely not enough to get many people to unclench nowadays, which TBH really shouldn't be a *huge* surprise.
if we want the vibecession to end perhaps we should be focused primarily on reducing the grinding existential dread of the future that even many objectively comfortable and highly-paid people seem to be feeling nowadays - and yeah, i do think there are practical things one could do to improve this.
Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.
They're calling it the best democracy ever.

again this is a well written and reported and sympathetic article, and a quote from a sympathetic party!! it’s just truly insane the blind spot cis people have for talking about us
from the article: “"She wasn't taking pictures in restricted areas. She wasn't trying to go places she shouldn't be," the source continued. "This is just a very large transgender woman, being a fan, walking around."” https://www.wired.com/story/madison-square-garden-jim-dolan-surveillance-machine/
glad that the (otherwise well reported) wired article about the dolans using facial recognition tech to track a trans woman in the garden to keep her off the MSG cameras included the extremely important detail that she was “very large.” you don’t want anyone forgetting she was monstrous to behold
Jay-Z verse from “Holy Grail” Now I got tattoos on my body Psycho bitches in my lobby I got haters in the paper Photo shoots with paparazzi (Yeah) Can't even take my daughter for a walk See 'em by the corner store I feel like I'm cornered off
“They only call them bodegas in new york not corner stores” false.
I don't know a lot about how EVs are perceived in other markets, do they have the "I might need to drive 500 miles in a day" brainworm in countries where that would cover pretty much the whole country
this is remembered as one of the biggest, most important anti-war protests in american history, and now we have protests 100x the size, and the media publishes articles asking, "where are all the protests?"
Whether or not a production issue is specifically caused by LLM-generated code, vibe-coding is going to be the casual synecdoche for the end-stage result of the "move fast and break things" philosophy that has eroded technology for the past decade.
Kind of painful and humbling to see so many interesting CHI papers on topics that are closely related to the stuff I was thinking about from 2021-2023 before leaving my PhD
i’d repost an old vibe-coding joke but the servers can’t handle that sort of searching

Fascinating paragraph from Scott Alexander, where he admits he’s the dog that caught the car
It costs the City of Ottawa $465/person each year to serve new low-density homes, over & above what it receives from property taxes/fees.
On the other hand, high-density infill such as apartment buildings pays for itself plus an extra $606/person each year.
Sprawl costs, infill saves. #UrbanTruth
if this 100% FPGA demo is passing for a shader, that’s probably my cue to release it. this is an early demo of my own work to replicate the 3dfx sst-1 pipeline in systemverilog. there is a non-canon geometry engine driving it from within the FPGA for kicks.
That’s so funny
what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...
He really is a Magic player
Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.
Claude Code became very reluctant to do anything remotely connected to viral sequence data some time in the last few weeks. (I'm quite sympathetic, but also I will now have to use Codex)
April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.
I'm not at CHI but I hear that there's expected "oh god what do we do about reviewing, we have had an exponential explosion in paper submissions" discussion.
I think a good start would be to stop making everyone feel like they have to publish 10 first author CHI papers to get a job. :-\
