Kinder, the Brookings fellow, said she worries that companies soon will simply eliminate the entire bottom rung of the career ladder.
What the fuck do they think is gonna happen when the current seniors start to retire? Are they just betting that AI is gonna be good enough to replace all of them then?
Cue all these companies in 5-20 years' time having to completely rewrite their software stacks because they have no fucking clue how any of it works anymore.
He didn't drain the swamp, he just added overt facism and called it gazpacho.
The article is full of typos, too.
Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?
I downloaded the demo last night. It's pretty fun but definitely rough around the edges. I hope the developer is amenable to feedback.
I've found that demos can be a double-edged sword.
I picked up the demo for A Bumpy Ride after watching a YouTuber play it. I really enjoyed it, but it only lets you play for one in-game day so there's only so many times you can do that without progressing before it gets old. I still find myself jonesing to play it but I can't really do anything but wait for the full game to come out.
Instantly wishlisted. My inner child is screaming with delight. I've wanted a game like this for literal decades.
I'd try to build machines and industrial flows in falling sand games but never be able to manage anything much more complex than distilling saltwater because of the limitations of the game.
As an atheist watching my country about to commit itself to yet another war in the Middle East, I can't stop thinking about this criminally underrated track.
Almost 20 years later it remains a poignant condemnation of religious extremism of all kinds, pointing out the hypocrisy of preaching the love of God for all mankind one day and crying out for the destruction of nonbelievers the next.
And no, of course I'm not so naive as to think that religious differences are the only motivation for the current conflict, nor that people couldn't find reasons to kill each other without religion. I just wonder if it wouldn't be so easy to justify if the calls for blood weren't purportedly coming from the mouth of God himself.
That's what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.
Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185
The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.
This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim's addresses isn't enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?
And ofc the original paper is paywalled.
It's probably just regurgitating stuff from a paper from 2017 that no one paid attention to.
Which has value in itself, I guess. It's just intellectually dishonest to say the AI came up with the solution.
As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.
The problem is that my brain would immediately jump to picking apart the premise of the question. How did it happen? Is it permanent? Is your consciousness trapped in there or is it gone forever? The kind of thing that's obviously just going to piss off the person asking.
I feel like what the question is really asking in a very roundabout way is whether you love that person unconditionally. That even if something happens such that they can no longer be the person you fell in love with, that you'll still love them just the same. But that's the problem: as a cynic, I believe all love is conditional; if it doesn't seem like it, that just means you haven't found out what the conditions are yet.
Obviously that's not the right answer. So to me, it just seems like the question is a trap. Either you accept the preposterous hypothetical and give some sappy answer to make the other person happy and avoid a fight, or you get outed for the cold, unfeeling asshole that you actually are inside. But maybe that's the point.
In the unlikely event that I end up in another relationship, what the hell is the right answer to the worm question? I'm pretty damn sure I'd get it wrong.
Nah, REAL MEN dip their balls in a boiling hot solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide. So cleansing.

I got tons more but my legs are starting to fall asleep.
What a coincidence, I just watched the Scrubs episode with the Dr Toilet running gag.
The order of the person ahead of me was still on screen when I pulled up to order. I took the picture in a bit of a hurry cause I didn't know when the screen was gonna reset.

(Archive link in case it's changed.)
This article is a surprisingly entertaining read for a few reasons:
- one or more people who wrote it clearly have very strong opinions about how nuclear weapons should be built
- the article contains a surprising amount of detail, including stuff that seems like it'd be classified or at least censored
- due to both of the above, there's a ton of

Over the past couple weeks I've gotten emails from both Senators and a House Rep from the State of Minnesota. All three emails have been concerning the Israel/Palestine conflict, and are worded as replies to a some message I sent them.
I've never set foot in the state, let alone lived there (I'm on the other side of the country). I've never sent messages to any of those members of Congress, and I've never signed any petition giving any group the right to contact Congress about this matter.
I suspect my name and email address might have been used in some sort of astroturfing campaign targeting Congress. Or these might be spam emails impersonating the members of Congress for some reason. I noticed the House rep and one of the Senators is up for re-election this year.
Has anyone else gotten emails like this?
I've tried to send messages back to these people but the forms on their websites require submitting an address in their state/district, so I'm not sure what to do. The From: addresses seem like they might have been faked, or they're no-reply addresses, so I wasn't sure about just replying to the emails.
I also thought about calling their offices but I wasn't sure if this was something important enough to bother their staff about, and they're two hours ahead of me so their offices are closed by the time I get off work anyway.
