Would be nice if we had consequences for anything bad at all really. Whole legal system is absolutely hands-off about evils that affect the whole population. One death is a tragedy a million deaths is a statistic, etc etc

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

That's just fear. You're not going to be a member of the white house press corps after asking that question.

Seriously appreciate these folks! Such important (and probably often gross) work.

Russia already got their presidential pick in the White House and the economy over there isn't going so great so not as much money going into the propaganda mill. "US Patriot Muscleman Alpha" accounts probably dropping like flies.

If the Trump admin had any balls these presumptuous demands and assertions from a delusional nation 3 years into a devastatingly costly, failed invasion with a failing economy would be met with mockery.

I fucking knew it.

A BBC news cover that says scientists reveal the secret. A photo of a fat little puffy dog is shown.

AI coding models are great at producing *something* when asked. But to get exactly what you want is, thus far, impossible unless you're asking for something very common and simple. This also applies to AI art.

Recently had Cursor port a feature from one mobile platform to another for me. I wasn't expecting perfection, and it appeared to do an OK job and compiled and ran with only a little tweaking. I was impressed, but it then took me so long to clean up that I might as well have written it by hand.

The latest coding models are great for scripts and other relatively simple tasks and even do an impressive job at explaining/generating code for relatively niche tools and libraries. When folks want them to write entire features or apps, though, the cracks start to show.

For a whole couple of seconds there he seemed like he understood how stupid Russia's continuation of the war was but all it takes is one call from Putin. What a dumb guy.

Historical parallel breaks down a little because Russia is totally incapable of destroying Ukraine, or even fully occupying Donetsk oblast (which they keep demanding be surrendered to them).

Russia will have to "control the strategic initiative along the entire front line" for another 200 years at this rate to reach Kyiv

This is the one genuine and good use of crypto. Way cheaper and faster for international transfers than bank transfers or money orders.

A "proportional" action against a civilian population is still a massacre. Two massacres don't make a right. Israel is run by genocidal maniacs who should be in prison. That doesn't mean that Hamas should be excused for evil actions of their own.

Dont put words into my mouth about "first blood." Mutually assured destruction doesn't work with irrational parties. Hamas knew that Gazan civilians would be slaughtered after Oct 7th but they didn't care. They would similarly be happy to nuke Jerusalem despite the consequences.

yeaughourdt.bsky.social @yeaughourdt.bsky.social · 20d

I support an independent Palestinian state that has the rights of any country (incl defense) but we are far from being able to trust them with nukes. Hamas leadership showed their thirst for blood on Oct 7th and this evil Israeli regime has ensured that Palestinians will want revenge for generations

Obama got it just for being elected. Maybe the most embarrassing peace prize ever given out, apart from the one to Henry Kissinger I guess.

Yeah he made the wars in Ukraine and Gaza worse and now he's trying to make them better. Real hero of our time
