Oh lol cool TIL thanks

I mean, that's shitty, but there's no way in hell it's the worst thing she's had tweeted to or about her during her tenure. If all the insanity spewing from Grok and X users up to now didn't phase her, I'm guessing she's not bothered by this either.

(Not to say she or any other women deserves to be talked to or about like this. But by now people working at or using X know what they're involved with and have made a choice to be there, so they must be okay with it at some level.)

So, a shitton of game developers just got laid off from Microsoft, another in a string of "restructuring" nonsense that's been rampant in the industry.

That's a lot of people with gaming expertise who could be put to work helping companies transition their games to single player experiences or at least making them accessible to customers after support stops. If the EU ends up pushing this forward, there's a decent business opportunity in there.

I would actually be okay with libraries having those AI services. Even if they were available only for a fee it would be absurdly low and still waived for people with low or no income.

Ditto on libraries. Mine does AWESOME large format printing for next to nothing. I got 5 different sewing patterns printed, which ended up being 20 or so pages of 48"x48" sheets in color and it cost about $30. Priced it at fedex and it was running well over $100 (I think closer to 200 or 300 but I didn't pay much attention after seeing how much it was at the libraries.

I have a small Canon b/w laserjet at home which has worked well for small projects but the libraries have been a huge help for anything outside standard letter size print jobs.

It's absurd and hilarious and I love it.

But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.

I would also recommend Pandora. I've had a family plan for years so I don't know for sure but there used to be a free (ad supported) tier that you could check out. And to reiterate comments from above, custom playlists and song/album play on demand is available (though some tracks are only available in discovery mode).

This doesn't appear as bad as some of the other ai legal stuff. Formatting references isn't really about generating content as much as structuring it and AI (usually) doesn't have the kind of problems with hallucinations when just tasked with reorganizing data. I've used GPT for reformatting references to APA style and it worked really well. I'm surprised Claude couldn't handle this task.

Also bummed that there doesn't appear to be a book called a statisticians guide to making inferences with noisy data, because that sounds like a book worth checking out.

There was a tweet going around reddit awhile back where someone made a joke (presumably) that chris brown was so hot he could beat her all he wanted. Its mind-boggling how brainless some people are.

That is the nicest cat sofa I've ever seen.

I played the hell put of Freecell back in the day. Started going through the seeds in order, and over the course of about 2 years I made it through 1500 or so.

I should pick that up again. Only got about 30000 or so games left to finish the whole thing...

Yikes. I did a full news and politics cleanse during trumps first administration and was not paying a ton of attention during Bidens term. Had no idea it was that bad.

"concerns about Biden’s mobility were so dire, advisers considered having him use a wheelchair during the campaign."

What the what?

Yikes. As nice as it would be to have an extra $2500, I can't imagine a scenario in which using this jackwad's platform is a good idea.

Oh yeah I'm sure there will be something. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. But I'm curious to see what they do for navigation.

No minimap? Ugh.mt husband have played every Borderlands game together multiple times and that minimap is our saving grace. We are constantly splitting up to do different things or grab stuff and the map makes it so much easier to find one another. Will be a bit chaotic going without, maybe they will make it an option in coop or something.

Ooh that does look good! Will keep an eye out for this one.

Anybody remember those SNL skits where a character named Pat was not clearly male or female, and the whole joke was how everyone was just confused about how to address them but still ended up being polite and friendly? I don't understand how our culture got from there to people demanding proof of gender from strangers.

I get why this was shuttered. I love Borderlands but can't imagine an mmo of the series that I'd want to play.

But if it makes this hacker happy to pursue launching this service himself, more power to him I guess.

I'm looking at jobs where they have offices in downtown SF and require full time in office because "culture" (or if they're generous, 2 days a week at home), but the pay is like $250K/year. Anywhere else that salary would be AMAZING but in SF you're going paycheck to paycheck and still commuting 2-3 hours a day. Seattle is just as bad.

Those places are beautiful and I'd love to live there, but it's not realistic for anyone who hasn't gotten some kind of windfall.
