  • a very specific type of winter boot please?

  • Check out Kodiak - they’re made in Canada iirc

  • The battery on this unused old Android tablet

  • nice

  • Congo's Ebola outbreak reaches 5,000 cases as it outpaces response efforts

  • A big part of why this one is running rampant is because the orangeboi regime did a rug pull on WHO and international health agency funding, in addition to the destruction of USAID. It’s both predictable and infuriating.

  • The cognitive bias behind bad climate math

  • “Many people misjudge which personal climate actions cut emissions most, often overrating familiar actions like recycling and underrating higher-impact changes such as flying less and eating less red meat,” Schneider says. Those findings are in line with previous studies.

    Point of order: consumer-based mitigations are way less systematically effective than regulatory measures imposed on manufacturing, power plants, and marine freight.

    Not saying that consumer-based mitigations should be ignored, but like, come on: of course it’s not going to make a dent if the big polluters do absolutely fuck-all in terms of changing their operations to be more ecologically sound.

  • Microsoft confirms GitHub is down worldwide

  • Tbh I’m honestly kind of impressed at this point

  • Don’t bother lol

  • Bosses Horrified as "AI Native" College Graduates Hit the Workplace

  • My team interviewed what I can only assume was one of these candidates about a month ago. Every single person on the interview panel, including myself, was floored at how absolutely inept the candidate was. It was so bad, and the candidate realized it was so bad, that they threw in the towel halfway through the system design portion of the interview - and that’s with us dumbing down the questions successively just to try to give the candidate a little bit of traction.

    The really damning part we realized in the postmortem/debrief was that the candidate had answered some PSQL questions quite adeptly on the phone, but when asked very similar questions in person, they were completely unprepared… which made us conclude they must have had an LLM listening to the audio stream of the interview during the phone screen portion and just throwing out answers for the candidate to use. Yeah, I get that interviewing is stressful and can knock you off your game, but this was genuine an order of magnitude worse than anything I’ve ever seen before in that ballpark.

  • The National Park Service Is Using Flock. Rangers Are Pissed

  • it’s for reading license plates

    Suuuuuuuuuuure. Of course it is. 🙄

  • Supreme Court asked to review Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments in public schools

  • the Tribunal of Six

    FTFY

  • Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It's Almost Hard to Believe

  • As a late 30s software engineer, I have had a disdainful view of C-suites for pretty much the entire span of my career.

    It started with understanding that the leadership of technical companies had become so profit-oriented that actual good engineering was getting short-changed. All I have to do to illustrate my point here is mention a single company, which used to be a paragon of engineering and an absolutely unbeatable powerhouse in their industry: Boeing.

    I think American technical expertise used to be exceptional. But now, as a direct function of the flat-lining quality and caliber of our corporate, technical, and economic leadership, the only thing I’d describe us as exceptional at is financial “engineering”. To be clear, I don’t consider that to be real engineering. It’s just applied math and logic being used to systematically take advantage of regulatory loopholes in ways that fundamentally abuse the intent of said regulatory loopholes, with no real consideration for the long term or second/third/etc-order systemic effects of such parasitic economic manipulation. It is fundamentally caustic by nature, and actively destroys long term value. I and the entirety of my generation have watched it destroy long term value over the course of our careers.

  • Newsom makes last-minute push for California utilities to pay less for wildfires

  • And that’s one of the many things making it clear that he doesn’t actually give a shit about citizens, and is in fact part of the captive “opposition”.

  • He Was a MAGA Patriot. ICE Took His Wife Away.

  • You know what?

    Good. If that’s what it takes for him to understand that he’s a shitgoblin for voting for this, well… that’s what it takes.

  • Why didn't Luigi ManGioni go to trial? Why not get a better deal knowing the prosecution would have to pony up some serious plea bargain?

  • The prosecution also has a non-contiguous chain of custody on the core pieces of physical evidence. And the video, to my eyes, and without hyperbole, does not show the individual they claim it does.

    My hypothesis on the origin of this development is that the defense knew the DoJ is refusing to play by the rules, and that this was the least bad alternative in a legal tactical sense.

  • What if AIDS and COVID were created deliberately by a group of shady rich Americans?

  • Wife of Service Member Rips Trump Administration’s ‘Infuriating’ Denial About Conditions Aboard USS Abraham Lincoln

  • You know how that gets ultimately resolved though, right? If recruitment crashes hard enough, they’ll just restart the draft.

    I’m not saying that as an argument for people to enlist. I’m simply pointing out that that’s the logical end state of recruitment crashing out catastrophically. But it would also be effective political suicide.

  • CEO pay skyrockets in 2025 amid growing income inequality in the US

  • I myself am a fan of the tradition French approach to this sort of quandary

  • AI Slop Map of US in Kentucky Schools

  • You know, you’ve got an excellent point.

  • Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal court

  • But the chain of custody failures fundamentally undermine the gun and notebook as evidence. I don’t understand how they are just letting that whole argument go.

  • Massive explosion rocks Italian ammunition plant that produces artillery for Ukraine

  • If this wasn’t a Russian op, I’ll be pretty shocked.
