At this rate I'm going to keep using it long enough for them to realise that I'm probably their most talented developer now and then tell them they can remove my seat as I don't need it.

Even for boilerplate it's just too slow and I'm not some fancy VIM user. I've just mastered using multi-cursor navigation and some regex replacing in Visual Studio (not code). And when something has a lot of boilerplate I just encapsulate the boilerplate to make it reusable.

One time it confabuled that an EFCore query I made had an N+1 query problem despite there being no loop and explicitly using `.AsSingleQuery()` because they query execution plans looked better in comparison to the three split queries.

I've been trying to use GitHub Copilot (ChatGpt 4.1) because my new job gave it to me and I don't want them to think of me as a luddite. There have been maybe two or three instances where it's been of any help at all and otherwise it's frustrating, stupid and so fucking slow.

Panel 1: Shen is looking at a tall box that we can see into and through dollhouse-style. It's filled with just a little green powder, and below it, it says "INT". Shen says "Hmmm... I'm not that smart ..."

Panel 2: Shen is happily filling the box with yellow powder from a big burlap sack labeled "EFFORT", holding it up on his shoulder and tilting it over the box. He says "I'll just study really hard!"

Panel 3: Shen is looking at a similar tall box, this time labeled "DRAWING" and filled only a little bit with pink powder. He says "I'm not that good at drawing either ..."

Panel 4: Shen is on his tiptoes, once again resting the burlap EFFORT sack on his shoulder and tilting it into the box, filling it. He says "I'll just practice really hard!"

Panel 5: Some time later, a girl with bell-shaped orange hair and a black top is holding a piece of paper and talking to Shen. She says "Wow, you got an A on that test?? You're so SMART!"

Panel 6: A guy with dark brown dreadlocks and a yellow t-shirt holds a piece of paper, pointing at it, and says "Wow you DREW this! You're so talented at ART!"

Panel 7: Shen has a devious evil grin, holding the EFFORT sack and looking at it, as the background darkens into shades of purple and red. He thinks "I've fooled them all."

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

Politicians and rich people only condemn violence as "political" when it kills someone rich and famous.

When trans people are targeted for violence by the state or by right wing influencers, when immigrants are racially profiles and put in camps, when protestors are brutalized, that's just normal.

I guess that explains why Trump said that he never draws or whatever. I thought that sounded weird because I thought it'd be like two crude boobs at the end of the letter. Not whatever the fuck this is.

I don't think spite is accurate here, because that would mean that there's some degree of cynicism. But I think that they truly believe it's valuable content so they don't need spite to motivate them to watch it.

I think it's that they don't believe it's slop. They probably have internalised the hype that AI is nearing AGI (it categorically is not) and thus can create something of value.

fun fact: the reason that hormone therapy can successfully change the body to the degree it can is because of biology.

"biological" doesn't actually mean anything here other than "we want our bigotry to sound scientifically justified".

KCRA: California has officially started using "biological girl" and "biological boy" to refer to cis and trans girls,in order to create a separate competition just for cis girls.

They're scared of Trump, even though Maine legally beat his threats easily.

She campaigned for a segregationist when she was in college. So I think that's just her true colours.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
