Wonder how Andrew Yang is feeling today.

That’s how it was designed. That’s how everyone uses it.

I think it’s a testament to on the nose satire and hitting at the heart of people’s anxieties about work.

Listen up! AI’s gonna be a game changer. If you don’t master passive prompting kids your vending machines good bye. Buy my book, “Passive Prompting”!

Everyone. Calm down… This is a joke account.

Here another one of his posts.

Why is this on shitpost? Dude’s got a mega thread with references and receipts.

I was curious about the studies. The only thing I came across about outcomes was this BMJ review that says:

Bullies were more likely to have trouble keeping a job and honouring financial obligations. They were more likely to be unemployed.

There was a clickbait NY Post article that I’d never link to, this article (archive) is more even handed.

I’d like to try Linux with minimal commitment and no setup. Give it real test drive with some of my most important tools.

If and when I decide to make the switch, I want to have access to my normal windows machine. I’d keep it around if I need it. But prefer if it went away slowly. I want to work with and communicate with windows users with neither of us having to jump through weird hoops.

I want my printer to work.

Problems will come up, but I don’t want it to dominate my time.

I’m sure most of you will say not to worry, but until I’ve logged some real hours, I will.

Here’s Simon Willison’s write up of how he uses AI. He’s been using it for a couple of years and distilled his methods in this article. He also discussed when and how he vibe codes.

I agree with this.

As a leftist, celebrate life and fight so others can have those celebrations. Checking your privilege can be an entrance to that battlefield, but it can also stall out there. And it can feel like something important has been done because of how much feeling it has. But stalling out there does nothing to liberate anyone.

Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog’s Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.

This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.

Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”

He didn’t call for the death of Israel.

I know a northerner who is virulently an anti-monarchist. His whole family is.

Unschooling and by extension, the democratically run Free Schools come to mind.

The legitimacy of the ROC’s claim hinges on Taiwan being part of China. The ROC was the legitimate governing body of China from 1912 to 1949.The ROC took control of Taiwan from Japan at the end of WW2. After losing the civil war, they retreat to the only place they continued to govern, the island of Taiwan.

Gonna play a game of comment roulette. How far do I have to scroll before I see someone say something like, “That can’t be in their museum because they can’t be trusted with it”.

Spinning the chamber now.

Edit: turns out I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. Now I sad.

US manufacturing was dominant through the thirties and forties. It really shone in the 40s under a war time economy. It was a sleeping giant and the world knew it. Pennsylvania outputted more steel than Japan and Germany combined. Audacious goals set by President Roosevelt were mocked by Hitler as audacious Hollywood goals. The US easily surpassed these goals.

It was an amazing display of competence. The only other countries to match the intensity of growth would the USSR during the five year plan and the PRC during the eighties. But both of them were starting from an agricultural economy. The USSR never reached the American manufacturing peak and China has surpassed.

The unprecendent dominance is due in no small part because the rivals needed to rebuild. But under representing America’s position with regards to labor, capital, resources and state coordinated mobilization would be a serious error.
