Auschwitz started as “just a concentration camp” too.

Eventually countries will stop accepting our deportees and then what will they do? The answer is simple:

They’ll come up with a final solution.

Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” “Alligator Auschwitz.”

That’s the correct name.

MAGA likes to call the immigrants, “rats” but the truth is far more sinister! They’re transgender mice! Too dangerous to even study in a lab!

The crops stood no chance!

Our only hope is to get rid of accurate hurricane forecasting and health care for the poor and elderly! If by some miracle a few billionaires get a tax break then maybe we’ll make it through this crisis!

Not just peanuts: They could exploit undocumented immigrants by paying them less than minimum wage and abuse them without having to worry about getting sued or deal with paying unemployment insurance.

Microsoft is trying to make Xbox into Windows: Where 3rd parties make the hardware and then license the platform from Microsoft. It’s a vastly more profitable model. Especially if they get all those end users signed up for a subscription service.

The problem is that the world thinks of “Xbox” as a console (and a specific kind of controller). To pull this off Microsoft is going to have to re-brand Xbox entirely by making people think of it more like a game-specific app store that runs on Windows and special handheld hardware. It won’t be easy.

There’s a bigger problem with this plan though: No real coordination with the Windows OS team. Windows on handhelds sucks. The past twenty fucking years of Windows development has been almost entirely focused on improving enterprise features with very little attention paid to end users or gaming.

Growth in Windows gaming has come despite Microsoft’s investments. Not because of them. In fact, I’d argue that if it weren’t for Steam, Windows—as a gaming platform—would be a fraction of what it is today.

Don’t get me wrong, though! I love this new Xbox roadmap! Windows gaming has been holding back Linux desktop adoption for far too long. The latest benchmarks that show games on SteamOS vastly outperforming the new Xbox-branded handhelds pretty clearly demonstrates all that bashing of Windows by Linux nerds was deeply accurate.

It turns out that Linux on the desktop really is superior! 🤣

From the article it looks like generative image AI is mainly replacing stock photography more than anything else.

Even if you use AI to make a logo you’ll still want a graphic designer to tweak it. So ultimately it really just saves the designer a bit of time.

The AI said that trying to reason with you is a waste of precious tokens.

Meh: It’s inevitable. It’s really Valve that we should blame for dragging their feet for so long.

I can understand the appeal of the Ten Commandments to conservatives. Each commandment has its own prescribed punishment and for Texans, especially, I’m sure they all sound fantastic:

1. Death.
2. Death.
3. Death.
4. Death.
5. Death.
6. Death.
7. Death.
8. Death.
9. Death.
10. Feces on their faces.

Actually I believe the correct term is, “fascism”

Correction: Education is not OK.

AI is just giving poor kids the same opportunities rich kids have had for decades. Opportunities for cheating the system that was made specifically not to give students the best education possible but instead to bring them up to speed on the bare minimum required to become factory workers.

Except we don’t have very many factories any more. And we don’t have jobs for all these graduates that pay a living wage.

The banks are going to have to get involved soon. They’re going to have to figure out a way to load up working-age people with long term debt without college being involved.

Ah yes. I’m actually impressed that they were able to determine that he was “Verified BS” so quickly.

When that happens it will derail their entire argument. These people are the opposite of trained professionals.

Even if you bring it up they’ll try to change the subject, “this conversation is getting off-track.”

To me, this is like saying, “4chan has turned into a cesspool!” Yeah: It was like that from the start. YOU were the ones that assumed it was ever safe!

You’re posting stuff on the public Internet to a website for adults where literally anyone can sign up and comment FFS.

If you want good moderation you need community moderation from people in that community. Not some giant/evil megacorp!

There’s all sorts of tools and platforms that do this properly, easily, and for free. If you don’t like Meta’s websites move off of them already!

Mods on Xbox only exist for games where the game itself officially added mod support. I mean, sure it’s great when a game maker does that but usually it’s not as good as community-made mod support because community mods don’t require approval and can’t get censored/removed because the vendor doesn’t like it.

Remember: Microsoft’s vision of mods is what you get with the Bedrock version of Minecraft. Yet the mods available in the Java version are so vastly superior the difference is like night and day.

Console players—that are used to living without mods—don’t understand. Once mods become a regular thing that you expect in popular games going without them feels like going back into the dark ages.

All the fun of Windows gaming with the locked-down ecosystem of a console (no mods). What could go wrong?

It’s Windows Mobile all over again.

Who knows, maybe we might even let them come back to US soil they might leave CECOT alive—some day.

FTFY.

When you kidnap people without due process on the regular you’re encouraging people to fight back. When you send them to foreign gulags known for literally torturing and killing people and forcing them into slave labor you’re encouraging them to fight back with deadly force.

Dying—fighting for your life—sure sounds better than just giving up and letting ICE take you away. At this point the Trump Administration and ICE cannot be trusted to execute due process. They’re operating outside of the law. They are the lawless ones.

They’re hoping for deadly conflict and I fear they’re going to get it. Though, on the plus side I’m 100% certain they will be unhappy with the outcome. In both the short and long term.

To be fair, the world of JavaScript is such a clusterfuck… Can you really blame the LLM for needing constant reminders about the specifics of your project?

When a programming language has five hundred bazillion absolutely terrible ways of accomplishing a given thing—and endless absolutely awful code examples on the Internet to “learn from”—you’re just asking for trouble. Not just from trying to get an LLM to produce what you want but also trying to get humans to do it.

This is why LLMs are so fucking good at writing rust and Python: There’s only so many ways to do a thing and the larger community pretty much always uses the same solutions.

JavaScript? How can it even keep up? You’re using yarn today but in a year you’ll probably like, “fuuuuck this code is garbage… I need to convert this all to [new thing].”

Define, “reasoning”. For decades software developers have been writing code with conditionals. That’s “reasoning.”

LLMs are “reasoning”… They’re just not doing human-like reasoning.

That just means they’d be great CEOs!
