@thomasfuchs Problem is it'd take all the Christians and leave all the Christian Nationalists.

@inthehands @_L1vY_ Maybe they should have prosecuted the sandwich and got the guy as an accomplice?

"Ivan replied that code is either correct or incorrect; there’s no subjective determination of whether it’s high or low… if a coder writes code poorly, the program simply won’t run"

If an engineer ever says that to you, run the fuck away.

The fact it runs doesn't mean it's:
- right
- secure
- maintainable
- efficient
or can handle anything except the single case you've tried.

Every time you scratch the surface of a vibe coder, you'll find delusionally low standards.

@thomasfuchs This premise is somewhat core to https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-ai-con-how-to-fight-big-tech-s-hype-and-create-the-future-we-want-alex-hanna/22044744 (well worth a read)

Lifer! Yellow-crowned Night Heron today at Parker River NWR.
First lifer I've had since last November, as best I can tell. It's been a slow year.

@inthehands @GottaLaff We also need to ask the important, incisive questions like "Will Pete Hegseth inspect the genitals of all these white, male, clean-shaven troops personally?"

@HauntedOwlbear I need to listen to that. In the meantime, have you seen https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/3013-410/Sister-Imperator-1 ?

Billionaires love AI because it promises to solve the problem of needing a smart workforce but a dumb electorate.

@jon It's more feasible than he suggests: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

Reminder that Trump's Project 2024 plan to abolish NOAA and the National Weather Service. Fascists don't like those who warn of disasters. Or those, like FEMA (who they also intend to cut), who clean up afterwards. Or even those who notice that disasters have occurred on their watch, such as journalists. #uspol

So… I'm not in the Sharpie's good books today. I went out to check the feeders, causing the birds on the ground to startle as usual.

As I do so this ball of feathery death swoops down over my head from the roof, missing the birds I've just scattered. I've just spoiled dinner and e is Not Happy.

Mind you, given the new heap of feathers on the lawn this morning, e didn't do too badly for breakfast.
