the first nonsense dewokeification change that's actually good https://t.co/UvQ8lWNNKo

Proposed software term: a ladybug -- a glitch that clearly isn't a feature, but is harmless and sparks joy so it is allowed to stay
what credit card has the highest possible vendor fees? not necessarily good rewards or anything, just high vendor fees. I need something to use at places that don't accept cash.

SWEs are treated extremely favorably by employers (good pay, flexible conditions, no standards of professionalism, no required formal education, no hazing rituals, etc) because unlike almost any other job, we have a practical next-best option to employment. https://t.co/BxDTLpoBm4
it's difficult to describe exactly why, but watching people's reaction to this is blackpilling me on normies relationship to technology https://t.co/5NrRfzisYK
interviewer: how many states can a boolean be in? C++ programmer: at least three interviewer: can you name them? C++ programmer: don't play games with me kid
we desperately need a slur for people who don't understand markets
girl who insists on walking her guy friends home at night because "men are 3.7X more likely to be homicide victims than women"
ok now mount the camera on the gimbal and we'll see how locked it really is https://t.co/dcc1c6f8Md
by default you "deserve" to be an inanimate lump. to live at all is to fight basic thermodynamics and win. you get to chose if you want to be part of the reason we win for another four billion years, or if you're on the side of thermodynamics https://t.co/QXGsZLe1P2
student loan cancellation isn't an innovation that solves a material problem. it's wealth transfer away from anyone not privileged enough to go to college, agentic enough to avoid college or rich/hard working enough to have paid for it. https://t.co/BP79Hombiu
how do doctors google things? do they wade through nonsense websites that just tell them to do what their doctor says over and over again on the civilian internet, or do they have a spacial doctor internet?
you hate tech bros because they're nerds, I hate tech bros because they're not nerds, we are not the same
ok fine, I'll say it. "the purpose of a system is what it does" is dumb. that's not what "purpose" means. "purpose" is what it's /meant/ to do, which is sometimes relevant, and useful to contrast against what it /actually/ does.
For example minute hand on the analog clock I wrote in JavaScript spins a full rotation in the wrong direction at the start of each hour (you can probably guess why).
@coldhealing If in 2022 you have any sort of tech job and you can't do it from a pool you're probably doing something wrong
this level of vigilance and competence is extraordinarily rare. almost feel sorry for the bad guys. no way they could have foreseen this. https://t.co/waaE0Uj590
my hot take on "the ick" is... have you considered just ignoring it? I've felt insanely disgusted by people for seemingly innocuous things, and I usually just ignore it and then forget about it. even remembering the incident doesn't trigger the same feelings most of the time.
I like my women the way I like my programming languages (unsafe, difficult to understand, at least 20 years old)
apparently the worst thing you can do as a startup is have your tech stack be observed to be compatible with the wider tech ecosystem

@coldhealing @ the people getting mad, have you ever worked on an engineering team without a PM? Because I have and ngl it's pretty fun but I can hardly claim we were particularly useful from a business standpoint

80s bug: it crashes if your name has more than 254 letters 90s bug: it crashes if it runs in the 00s 00s bug: it crashes if your name contains "ΓΆ" 10s bug: it crashes when you press the "cloud sync" button 20s bug: the jabberwacky entity is back. we don't know what it wants. https://t.co/r9XPTSA2wx
what types of insurance do rich people have? if you've got $100m+ in the bank, no mishap is going to knock out a significant portion of your wealth in one go. insurance is *supposed* to be negative-EV, so if rich people are buying insurance something funny is going on.
"Sora is a data-driven physics engine" "The 3D objects are consistently animated" lol. lmao. did you seriously miss the red flag? no, literally, track the red flag through the video https://t.co/PGMZr5TXe9
What happens when 90% of the training data available for AI image generators is the output from other AI image generators, and nobody knows how to filter it out?
we can just build something ourselves, and compete with our potential employers. in almost every other industry employers compete for top talent, but only between each other because they provide the capital and structure required to provide value in that industry.
omg the kids don't know about the desktop cube https://t.co/TvT98XW571
when I grow up I want to be a rational actor with perfect information
but in software employers have to compete with employees for their time. building software is dramatically more efficient alone, which offsets a lot of the inherent advantages of capital. 1 unemployed engineer β 1 team's worth of capacity.

someone needs to invent a drug that turns you into a good housewife. you would think it either adderall or estrogen would do the trick, but both of those just turn you into a software engineer
say what you will about linux users, we'll never throw a fit because you allow us to make our desktop ugly if we want https://t.co/xw4KUtMZTL
"the walk of shame" is one of those concepts from normie culture I just can't seem to wrap my head around. why are you, as an adult, ashamed to be moving from one location to another at a particular time? why does that imply sex? are normies really that predictable?
I FIGURED IT OUT I FIGURED OUT WHAT NORMIES ARE DOING https://t.co/GDb3jk7Ehq
whenever I get a crush on someone I have to quickly start pursuing other people as well, because if one person gets more than half of my attention it makes me vulnerable to a 51% attack
one of the lesser talked about results of disabling likes is that you can no longer neg someone by liking the other person's replies in a debate thread
this is an incredibly important branch of the tech tree. we need to improve speed, durability and price until we can lay roads of the stuff coast to coast and replace all forms of transit slower than HSR https://t.co/2Ii527LgnJ
@ReallyRadley @Duderichy do you believe taking the subway in NYC gives you a higher chance of dying than taking an uber?

@egregirls Amazing. Not a single hit. I'm thr other type of homeschooler apparently.
oh the things I'm learning about typescript tonight https://t.co/3pQxYMm8At
I hate the little things that are persistently taught slightly wrong because the assumption is nobody really cares. for example: escape velocity. "you need to be going X km/s to leave earth's orbit" THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. if you go 1 km/h you will *eventually* leave
not to start boring discourse but I'm genuinely curious: how do you guys date someone and still be attracted to them? doesn't someone explicitly admitting they like you defuse the tension necessary for attraction? am I just avoidant or otherwise fucked up?
I hope the trans guy who's getting mercilessly dogpiled for daring to hit on women is at least getting gender euphoria about it
@keta_mean_ thank u I finally get it
"are you a transphobic incel? is this preventing you from fucking blue-haired leftists? this problem can be solved with Technology" is an elevator pitch I wasn't expecting today, but in retrospect makes a lot of sense. https://t.co/AxHpl6XRmh

AAAAAAAAAAAA HOUSING IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS IT TO BE EXPENSIVE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS IT TO BE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE "reducing property value", FOR SOME REASON, IS NOT HOW YOU GET REELECTED IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND https://t.co/sOVxeiFR2o
actually if you have a crush on someone inconvenient just stop thinking about them. if you interact with them regularly, just think for a moment "I find them pleasant and am attracted to them" and then think about other things. don't fantasize, don't introspect, don't obsess https://t.co/IHcdgOWTzB
If you don't give major life projects (moving, dating, getting a job, etc) cutesy code names like the military you absolutely should
Some people say unicode is too confusing and prone to abuse, but I say diacritics, combining marks and zero-width joiners build character

Banning Lena in the current legislative and cultural environment sends a clear message. It shows the length some are willing to go to expunge women (and especially sex workers) from the history of technology. https://t.co/nvmm344Pox

the optimal relationship is monogamous with both people cheating, where they both know each other are cheating and are fine with it, but neither knows the other knows they are cheating (or else it would just be poly, which is annoying) https://t.co/LFiL7ME1vp
@seanluomdphd that's exactly my point. psychiatrists have to be employed. SWEs don't.

@rachelmillman "Might seduce your dad type" Isn't a description of "real" (within the context of the song) events: past, present, future or hypothetical. It's an invocation of a cultural stereotype. It's a rhetorical device.
it's only called "attention seeking behavior" when you do it wrong. when you do it right it's called "being a delightful friend"
a few years back after the dozenth time helping my mom move pictures around I decided to draw a simple diagram to explain how it worked and... https://t.co/YZSZ4WjPyl
so... the fact that semaglutide seemingly operates entirely on desires and impulse control is completely obliterating the "obesity is caused by something in the water" thing, right?
There should be a trans girl bootcamp where you spend 12 hours a day for 6 weeks learning makeup, fashion, endocrinology, voice training and Rust
what the "elon is just another dumb rich guy" crowd don't realize is he was remarkably capable of making ambitious but coherent plans and executing them over decades. the pieces he set in motion might still get us to mars, even though he's lost the plot for years. https://t.co/lLJEHguTZx

obviously CV + robotics /can/ get you very low latency and accurate targeting. that's not what this is about. this is claiming to be video evidence something is working, and to anyone who knows anything it's clearly not evidence of that.
what do we think chat? are boeing planes suddenly all falling apart, or is this a algo-driven baader-meinhof thing? like that time there was one notable train derailment and suddenly train derailments were The Thing for a few weeks? https://t.co/QeoeQUpMGt
@warty_dog because the app is uninteresting (basically same functionality as gpt4). the r1 is, to me, mostly interesting as a hardware product.
there should be a German word that means "I see where you're going with this, and while I agree with the point you will eventually get to, the scientific study you are about to cite doesn't replicate"
the more you stare at it the more insane you go @NASAJPL you've got a lot of explaining to do but also thanks. writing cursed regex isn't as hard as going outside and measuring myself I guess.

increasingly under the opinion that "good international documentation" does not look like hyperlinked blurbs about every function generated from doc comments. it looks like a 500 word markdown file that describes how the program works.
do you have a smart TV (or dumb TV)? is it annoying? do you also have a raspi4+ or extra computer? DO YOU WISH YOUR TV SOFTWARE WAS DELIGHTFULLY QUIRKY INSTEAD OF CORPORATE SLOP? well then, I've got the system for you.
somehow, incredibly, I've managed to write a parser that parses "1 * 2 * 3 * 4" as ((1 * (2 * 3)) * 4)

Sora is very impressive at making things that kinda look like video. synthetic data claim could very well be true, but it clearly doesn't have a persistent understanding of the 3D world it's drawing, much less a physics simulation of it
Yeah sex is good but have you ever said something that left the smartest person you know bewildered and vaguely annoyed?
wtf wtf wtf why are the properties in a different order for different bodies why are they are they named differently with different orders of magnitude why does the sun's mass have a tilde in front of it why is Jupiter's mass in grams https://t.co/SAolK1DKBI
