"I had a friend who went into management. He died!" "Dad, are all of your friends dead?"
idontwantthis··on The Ocean 'Was the Color of Chocolate.' Mexico Declares War on Seaweed.
I lost my best friend to the War on Christmas. His body came home stuffed with pine needles and partridge feathers.
idontwantthis··on Backdoor in Claude Code for VS Code extension on the Cursor Marketplace
Does it? It asks for permission to use whatever directory you call it in.
idontwantthis··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
You are correct.
idontwantthis··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
I also thought unhoused was just a pointless euphemism, but I recently learned it does have a technical meaning. A "homeless" person might live with friends, in a shelter, or on the street. An unhoused person is one strictly living on the street/car/public space.
idontwantthis··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
How are you posting so fast? I usually get blocked after five in an hour.
idontwantthis··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
Yeah this is what confuses me and gives me hope. I would have loved to have had AI in college. I probably would have had the confidence to take more and harder classes and generally been much less stressed. 10 years ago it felt like most students would take any easy chance to cheat, especially on nightly homework freshman year. I wouldn’t do it because for some sick reason I was actually motivated by learning more than the grade.

I’ve loved using AI to learn. I made SQL and Python classes of my own to finally get beyond a basic understanding of them. I made an Anki deck to learn a foreign language with very poor existing online resources.

idontwantthis··on Woman faces six years in prison over Cash App account she never opened
There are sort of other options like an Alford plea where, my understanding is, the prosecution knows you didn’t do it, you plead guilty anyway and they tell you to just fuck off.

I will never in my life not look up “for of vs for in” before writing a loop in Javascript.

idontwantthis··on Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell EVs in Europe
I’m just describing my experience as accurately as I can. I wouldn’t buy another Subaru.
idontwantthis··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
No one came at you. I replied to you. You accused me of hallucinating and sneaking. You’re a dick.
idontwantthis··on Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell EVs in Europe
It’s the screen yelling at me so I consider it part of the same system. It’s not about the blinkers it just turns off frequently because there are poor lane markings where I live. Besides that the rest of the UI is slow and annoying. I can never remember which sub menu different annoying beeps are under. Carplay is much slower too than in other cars.
idontwantthis··on Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell EVs in Europe
I can but I actually like the safety it provides. It just doesn’t need to loudly distract me every time it momentarily stops.
idontwantthis··on Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell EVs in Europe
Infotainement is more than just CarPlay.

I don't know if it's gotten any better, but I won't buy another Subaru after my 2020. It constantly beeps at me whenever the EyeSight can't see the lanes in the road, even when it's not steering for me. It's a safety hazard that pretends to be a safety feature.

idontwantthis··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
Why are you being a dick? Just have a conversation instead of trying to win something.
idontwantthis··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
Look up the definition of criminal conspiracy.
idontwantthis··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
A conspiracy is just people talking to each other about a crime. It doesn’t have to be hidden. Conspiracies can be in the open.
idontwantthis··on SIGSALY: Churchill's top secret hotline to the president
Does anyone know how they synchronized the time? Was a radio signal fast enough?
idontwantthis··on Anthropic's proposed AI safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1B in damages
It’s going to be fun reading the reasoning transcripts where it argues with itself over whether it can afford to spend 1 or 2 human lives on the current task.
idontwantthis··on Dam removals are bringing fish back across the northeastern United States
There are many dams with fish ladders or even fish cannons.
idontwantthis··on Bleached corals thrive within days when touching healthy neighbour
We could create a bank of coral clones tagged to each individual location.
idontwantthis··on The Origin Story of Kid Pix
This triggered a memory for me: I’m pretty sure we weren’t even allowed to click the bomb in first grade for the same reason.
idontwantthis··on Our $445M Series D
I’m serious I can’t tell what it is. Something with all the benefits of on prem and cloud without the costs of either.
idontwantthis··on Our $445M Series D
What is their product exactly? It’s a server that is cheaper for some reason?
idontwantthis··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Russia recently ordered corporations to start funding their own air defense.
idontwantthis··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Ukraine has been at war for 4 years. They didn’t have the capability to hit Russia this hard and deep until fairly recently. These are mostly home grown weapons developed during the war.

What are you referring to?
idontwantthis··on Mathematics of Geothermal Energy
I’m not going to bother to check the math but Gemini estimated $20billion/y to generate 1gw with hamsters on wheels so honestly that could be competitive.
idontwantthis··on First enhanced geothermal power plant completed in just 23 months
Do they have a conventional drill or does this involve some new technology? They aren’t using the microwave thing are they?
idontwantthis··on Mathematics of Geothermal Energy
It’s hard to come up with any idea that is not easier than going to space for solar energy.
