there's also the possibility they're lying and it's writing way less than 75% but they're still relying on it and wasting a bunch of time trying to coax the LLMs to work
This image shows a screenshot of a Twitter thread with three posts from different accounts. The first post, from an account named "kandice_martellaro," features a profile picture of a person with short dark hair. The post states, βIf youβre planning to watch that HBO Harry Potter series, I really hope you understand two things: 1. She pushed this reboot because the original cast have publicly supported the transgender community and she wants a βdo-overβ that doesnβt involve them. 2. Putting money into her pocket WILL directly harm transgender folks and specifically transgender kids. She uses her wealth to block bills that would protect trans youth. Itβs different than just hate speech (which is bad enough).β Below this post is a reply from an account named "jk_rowling" with a profile picture of a person, stating, βSorry, but that was irresistible.β The final post is from an account named "tradingMaxiSL," displaying a profile picture of a person, reading, βWhat actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?β The posts each have corresponding numbers of likes, retweets, and replies indicated below them.

*put in online request for quotes to replace our water heater* *get over a dozen emails asking me to call them*
The whole point of asking for ONLINE quotes was to get ballpark estimates WITHOUT having to talk to a half-dozen competing plumbers on the phone, people. π€¦π»ββοΈ
Every time I have driven a car in like 10 years my mind is boggled by how bad modern screen infotainment systems are at surfing FM radio. They pretty much universally got rid of the "scan" function. Why the fuck
If you participated in the No Kings protest and shared photos of it on any platform within Metaβs ecosystem (including Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Threads, or WhatsApp) β or if youβve spoken out against ICE, or followed or promoted individuals or groups that track ICE activity β your account has been placed in an internal user group called β2383.β
I do not know the purpose of this group, and I have not observed any direct changes to anyoneβs account as a result of being in it. However, a significant number of people have been internally assigned to user group "2383". π€
it is extremely funny to me that a literal trillion dollars funnelled into a cloud provider results in more sev0 / sev1 outages per year than you'd get with a hosting provider run by a polycule out of an apartment block in rural Germany.
I mean *sure* but also most tiny providers rather balk at requests like "I would like to replicate 3pb of data to you tomorrow would that be ok kthx". Nobody running tiny easily movable things is in us-east-1 anymore.
although on this note I recently priced up a 100PiB rack (complete with redundant head nodes) and it wasn't as ridiculous as I was expecting. within "handful of friends deciding to set up a backup provider" distance. drive density per Β£ has been skyrocketing.
@jonty truck full of disks has the highest bandwidth. Always has, always will. At that amount of data, you'd likely drive over at least the initial sync
Remember Kermit? Back in the 80s, it's documentation said never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon (What's that Uncle Bill?) full of magnetic tape. I think high density was 1600bpi back then.
We got the national guard type shit in Memphis now. Shit lowkey ian got a problem with that . Cutting down crime and shit well good ππΎ nobody gonna say it ain't. But they deadass racial profile! Example. I was walking along with my cousins. They came up in they uniforms an shit. ' where you going?' They say. π€ ' the fck you mean where we going ' i say. He say ' boy i asked where you going ' ' to the store here' I say. He say ' watch your mouth' and walks off! #BlackMastodon
Be careful out there. They aren't there to *fix anything*.
From a former active duty and reserve(weekend warrior) I will say this:
1. They know for a fact that they can't do shit. They are not law enforcement (not that they won't try to do something). 2. They will pick on anyone who doesn't know their rights because they are feeling themselves and get to play army. 3. Y'all did the right thing and kept it moving.
According to ClearSky, which tracks Bluesky blocking stats, the White House account is blocked by around 91,000 accounts, while being followed by only 10,000. techcrunch.com/2025/10/19/the-β¦
The Trump administration is taking its social media attacks on Democratic opponents to an unlikely platform, with the White House and numerous other government agencies joining Bluesky on Friday.
Besides Vance trying to become a "tik-tok star", we have the alleged "hunting stand" set up near where Trump's airplane was parked in Florida. The pictures in today's news articles are kind of fuzzy, but given the resolution, the "hunting stand" looks like a crude tree house built by 11--12 year old boys. I guess "'suspicious' hunting stand" gets the media more clicks than "'suspicious' tree house".
Republicans have become **incredibly good** at announcing some sort of anger/outrage while also having some level of deniability. Take the 2024 election for example.
Leading up to the election: "The elections are rigged!! By the democrats!!! You'll see!! Don't believe if Trump loses!"
Immediately after Trump "wins": Well, you see, everything worked out the way we thought.
Once you notice the pattern, you cannot not see it.
itβs a shame the sharpshooter wasnβt a better shotβ¦he is the acme of loathsomenessβ¦.i think heβs stupid powerful and dangerous just like a kid with a loaded gunβ¦. I shall not visit America while he is president
It will cost more than $250 million , but probably not twice that amount: Trump is such an embarrassment that, after we are rid of him, they may decide to restore the building to its previous state because no one will want to remember that Trump ever held an elected office above or equal to town dog catcher.
The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive βmedical intervention.β Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a βsocietal normβ for the rest of the country.
going to be real fun when they have tuberculosis running loose up there again. Also, next pandemic (and there will be one), the legislature will have to repeal the law to allow for basic public health measures. This sort of nonsense sounds really good if you donβt know a goddamned thing about how bad it actually got in US hospitals during 2020-2022, and how close we were to stacking bodies in mass graves.
A digitally altered portrait in the style of a historical painting depicts a person in a red coat and white cravat, gazing toward a glowing, spherical object. The background is dark and muted, reminiscent of an old masterβs work. The spherical object appears to be a futuristic-looking pod or orb, emitting a bright light. The portrait is overlaid with text in white lettering.
The text reads: "Mars has on it because we used to live thereβ¦& we destroyed the planet so badly that we had to send an escape pod to Earth with only Adam & Eve in it; & the pod was the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs." A small watermark with the name "JINGO" appears in the upper right corner of the image. The person in the portrait has dark hair and is looking off to the side with a serious expression.

#AI investment by companies is currently projected by Gartner to top $1.5 TRILLION this year, 2 next. Where is that sort of revenue going to come from to pay it off?
Microsoft only pulls in $45 *billion* on office software, and they're the biggest player in the game. The math doesn't add up for this to be a tool for consumers.
Someone on LinkedIn pointed out that selling that data for surveillance is the MOST likely way that the bills get paid.
The image is a split screen comparison of two portraits, one on the left and one on the right. The portrait on the left shows a middle-aged person with short dark hair, wearing a dark red collared shirt and a yellow tie. The person is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The portrait on the right features a middle-aged person with blonde hair and a dark suit and blue tie. This person is also looking directly at the camera with their fingers crossed. Above the portraits is text that reads: "Seems fair that if ex Philippine President Duterte can be arrested & held in The Hague for murdering suspected drug dealers - Trump can be arrested & held in The Hague for murdering suspected drug dealers".

Only problem with that is that The Philipines WERE a signatory to the ICC treaty/ charter granting the ICC jurisdiction over crimes committed there.
The Philipines withdrew their signatory status in 2019.
Dutarte is being held in The Hague for crimes committed from when he took office (2016) and when the Philipine's rescinded its membership in the ICC (2019).
The United States has never been a signatory/ member of the ICC therefore Trump will not be spending one night jail over there.
The image is a screenshot of a social media post, likely Twitter, with a dark blue background. At the top left is a circular profile picture of a person with dark hair, wearing a dark jacket. Below that is text arranged in three separate sections, each attributed to a different entity.
The first section, attributed to "Them", reads: "People are so lazy, there's jobs available everywhere." The second section, attributed to "Advertisement", reads: "How would you like to work for us? The job is six days a week and you'll still be poor." The final section, attributed to "The working class", simply states: "No". The post is attributed to a user named "Comrade Hammer" with the handle "[@]JoshWiniecke".

German Federal Office of Civil Protection publishes guide removing war as an 'unlikely' possibility
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance warned in its latest report that #war no longer seems as unlikely as it did a few years ago, as it recommends maintaining food supplies of three to ten days.
For the first time in 35 years, the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) is warning of war. The agency emphasises that #Germany is one of the safest countries, but a new guide has been published to provide advice in case of crisis.

A first-of-its-kind Canadian trial is testing psilocybin, the psychedelic component found in magic mushrooms, on participants to see if it can treat anxiety.
I think the most interesting thing in the article is the cash back offer on fuel, considering that EV charging is in there, something I haven't seen before, and I wonder if'n that means anything like Costco adding charging to its warehouses.
@4d3fect Much as the last one kinda sucks, its being realistic if'n my local Sams Club is to go by considering the lines and the chaos. The chargers though are news to me.
A screenshot of a social media post is presented. The post features a circular profile picture of a person with dark hair and a red background. Below the profile picture, the username "[@]IsicaLynn" is displayed, accompanied by a red checkmark icon. The post consists of two paragraphs of text.
The first paragraph reads: "I find that a lot of anti-socialist sentiment boils down to a basic belief that people are lazy and wonβt do good in the world or work hard unless they are suffering." The second paragraph reads: βI believe the opposite. I think most people would do amazing things if they werenβt in dire straits constantly.β

everything 'smart' is actually a computer. Smartphone is a computer that can phone, smart TV is a computer on which you can watch TV, smart car is a computer on which one's built a car, and so on.
@hardtech You've miss the point. Thing is, you're both right but your post is dismissive, as if your truth negates the other. "Smart" devices that pull personal data, often without our knowledge, are unethical & we're all being opted in.

A group of people are standing on a grassy lawn, holding signs in a protest setting. Three people in the foreground are dressed as characters from βThe Wizard of Ozβ: one is wearing a plaid shirt and a straw hat, one is fully covered in a brown bear costume, and one is wearing a silver metallic costume representing the Tin Man. Behind them, other people can be seen holding additional signs. The signs in the foreground read: βTRUMP Has No Brainβ, βGOICE Has No Courageβ, and a red heart-shaped sign. The scene appears to be outdoors on a sunny day, with foliage visible in the background.
