  • Wannabe President ICE Barbie’s Fake ‘Cabinet’ Meetings Exposed

    Jump

  • We live in the stupidest timeline. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that the first woman president could be someone in the Sarah Palin / Marjorie Taylor Greene / Kristi Noem model.

  • The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You Think

    Jump

  • Newsom was Lt. Governor of CA from 2011-2019. I am not Californian, and I don't know what they're dealing with outside of the seemingly-constant wildfires, and those seem pretty fucking bad, and I'm sure there are some other pretty terrible things Californians have to deal with, too.

    That said, payday loan companies deserve to get spit-roasted by the Devil and the Devil's angriest pet donkey in the deepest bowels of Hell.

  • AI could wipe out most white-collar jobs within 12 months, Microsoft AI chief warns

  • I remember the Babelizer from the early internet, where you would input a piece of text, and the Babelizer would run it through five or six layers of translation, like from English to Chinese to Portuguese to Russian to Japanese and back to English again, and the results were always hilariously nonsense that only vaguely resembled the original text.

    One of the first things I did with a LLM was to replicate this process, and if I'm being honest, it does a much better job of processing that text through those multiple layers and coming out with something that's still fairly reasonable at the far end. I certainly wouldn't use it for important legal documents, geopolitical diplomacy, or translating works of poetry or literature, but it does have uses in cases where the stakes aren't too high.

  • The even larger issue, one that underpins a lot of laws of warfare, is that you want people to have every good reason to surrender. If POWs have to be treated according to specific laws, then everyone knows approximately how bad it can be, and they all know that at the worst, they can surrender. If you can set POWs to work clearing minefields or commit any other given atrocities against them, then armies have every reason to fight to the death rather than surrender when backed into a corner, and that doesn't do anyone any good.

  • The F-35 Debate Is Really about How We Killed the Avro Arrow | The Walrus

    Jump

  • The F-35 is not just an aircraft. It’s a system of systems. Software updates, mission data files, sustainment logistics, and upgrade pathways are all tightly controlled within an American-led ecosystem.

  • I just got into tying knots! It's a useful skill. You can pick it up in a couple of minutes and then improve continuously. There are a lot of books on the subject. It's cheap. You can use cord you might already have lying around the house, or you can get paracord at the hardware store, or you can go somewhere fancy like Paracord Galaxy if you want some extra special colors or patterns. It's soothing and leaves you with something tangible at the end.

    Here's a monkey's fist knot I just finished! I've been giving them to friends to use as keychains.

  • "Yeah? How many trenches have you stormed, kid?"

    Jump

  • See that little stream — we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this generation.”

    “Why, they’ve only just quit over in Turkey,” said Abe. “And in Morocco —”

    “That’s different. This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remberer Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers.”

    “General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five.”

    “No, he didn’t — he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.

  • I heard an interview with the costumer who designed Elvis Presley's rhinestone-studded jumpsuits. They kept on not paying him, but he was having so much fun that he didn't really want to stop, so instead of quitting he just kept making each jumpsuit more elaborate and more expensive. "Yes, this new suit requires $15,000 worth of genuine Alsatian rhinestones." Not exactly win-win, but I'm glad he was having fun and spending a ton of Elvis' money.

  • ... why?

    Jump

  • I think of it being like how a pro golfer does like a dozen things in the split second it takes them to swing a gold club, and they all have to be perfectly coordinated, but they really don't think of each and every little movement in sequence as it happens.

  • Three-time Trump voter denounces president over racist Obamas video: 'I want to apologize'

    Jump

  • I'm suddenly intrigued by the possibility of getting a ballpark estimate of how many deaths Trump is responsible for, and then dividing that by the number of Trump voters to find out how many deaths each voter personally owns.

  • YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories
