Ed Zitron might have got hold of it, if his bsky is anything to go by.

We could be feasting soon!

What if we replaced the kid in the Omelas hole with the wealthiest guy in Omelas?

Thanks!

I reckon they can try to scare people with terminators and threats of poverty, but not with a goddamn overgrown robot beanie baby.

Recursion!

It's so dumb that I wonder if it's some sort of profile-raising stunt.

They want to build a Woe Engine next to our zoo.

That suppressed Democratic National Committe 2024 "postmortem" report turns out to have been pure slop, with essentially no references and entirely made-up charts and plots while also missing entire sections. The author can produce exactly zero interview transcripts or source data. It also neglects interrogating failures in addressing trans rights, the genocide in Gaza, or the affordability crisis.

The podcast "It Could Happen Here" does a good job of analysis (disgusted), but long-time sneerers will feel the futility of getting into the weeds with an extruded textual artifact:

Tl:dl the deeply institutionalist DNC chairman appointed his best buddy to the job with zero oversight, and this was the result.

Wew, that is a rich text...

...The 3.5 release will raise the bar enormously with regards to rsync security, but it is a huge change...

So here in Nashville, Elon and our state government have conspired to attempt a Tesla tunnel that starts at the state capitol, goes under the Cumberland River, and exits at our airport (BNA). They're doing it whether the city wants it or not. (It's "not").

Setting aside the race to determine whether a void in the local limestone fills with water or radon first, I wanted to help come up with a catchy title for the as yet unnamed car hole:

BNA Underground Transit Tunnel

That's awful, losing a friend that way is like a death without a funeral.

I want to believe that's next-level trolling. It's too funny to be true.

Yes, people and companies should step up.

No, the answer isn't replacing the test suite with nonfunctional slop and running it as root.

It's all so amateurish and bizzare that my first thought was that someone stole the maintainer's account. I guess nobody's immune to the siren call of the slot machine.

It's unjustifiable bullshit.

This last run of "Behind the Bastards" about the One Taste cult/startup is giving off big this vibes. It didnt get wound up till 2023, so there could be a non-trivial amount of attendee overlap

Not a pro mathematician so apologies if Im hanging my butt out here, but I'm not convinced these solutions (or something analogous) aren't in the training data. Wouldn't be the first time. Several seem like the kind of thing you might figure out for a lemma on the way to something else unless you'd previously examined tHe ErDoS PrObLeMs.

Note: there are over 1200 problems that could be arguably labeled "Erdos Problems." It appears that a chatbot enjoyer vibecoded a website in 2024 and was somehow declared the chief keeper of the things. The site can be found here: https://www.erdosproblems.com/faq

George, are you saying that becoming the Eloi is good actually?
