@babe DO NOT FUCK THE SEA CUNT

The OpenAI tussle is between the faction who think Skynet will kill them if they build it, and the faction who think Roko's Basilisk will torture them if they don't build it hard enough.

@babe This is General Black, a feral who lived in my back yard.

@cks What's the alternative? Just return N?

"The reason why people are calling for more regulation of a16z’s investments isn’t because they’ve been 'told to be angry, bitter, and resentful about technology.' It’s because retail investors lost their life savings 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 by throwing cash at the Ponzi schemes that a16z was actively hawking."

Which is more likely:

- Mossad, one of the most highly regarded spy orgs, which by the way reports solely to the PM, completely missed the run-up to an operation involving thousands of people and thousands of rockets.

- Mossad didn't miss it, reported it to Bibi, who decided to ignore it. Because while letting the attack happen is terrible for Israel and catastrophic for Gaza, it's great for Bibi personally. It gets him off the hook for basically everything. He's like Giuliani after 9/11.

@matthew_d_green Now do HEIC and SPDY and QUIC

STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT

* CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR

* YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT

* Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell.

"Hello I would like my saved daylight back please"

They have played us for absolute fools.

@cks Looking through my MH config stuff, back in 2014 I was up to 244 headers ignored plus a shell script to manage them, and then I apparently gave up and switched to showing only a small list of known ok headers.

@cks Hey at least you didn't use perl

@Gargron Nice, thanks.

For image previews, any chance we could get the 🔍↗ widget moved to a corner of the image?

FYI the improved signs on Valencia were back as of this afternoon.

@pluralistic Well now I want a pizzaburger

@Gargron I spent a week in Wengen when I was a teen and still remember it fondly.

@thomasfuchs Maybe it should be animated
