  • Predictions on they type of people the AI age will produce

    Jump

  • The people who spend 23 hours a day running agents and outputting 300 slop emails an hour aren't seeking cognition, they're seeking quick rewards; "working" with "AI" isn't a cognitive task so much as it's a gambling task. Just keep asking Claude to try again on that PR and eventually you get that dopamine hit from it making a not-totally-shitty solution and you never had to actually engage your higher brain function, you just did lots of low level churn of "prompting".

  • Trump says FISA extension must include voting bill

    Jump

  • Great! Glad to see neither item pass!

  • In the US, why doesn't a personal savings account make more sense than health insurance?

    Jump

  • Because everything costs more than you think. Having a child without insurance is often over $100,000. Any visit to the ER for an emergency? $25,000 to get in the door and often millions of dollars if you need lots of interventions. Heck, even with insurance, chronic conditions often cost thousands of dollars per year. Even simple procedures like my daughter's tympanostomy tubes have self-pay prices in the tens of thousands of dollars.

  • Trump was ready to fire Tulsi Gabbard until Roger Stone stepped in: report

    Jump

  • I was skeptical of the rumors that Gabbard was some kind of foreign sleeper agent, but if Roger Stone is standing up for her, then perhaps she is working for the Russians...

  • How do you find the right wedding photographer?

    Jump

  • Read a lot of portfolios to find one where the work was split between freelance photojournalism and commercial / wedding photography.

  • How do you find the right wedding photographer?

    Jump

  • I looked for a professional in the area who had a photojournalism background because I was more interested in accurate photos of what was happening all around the party than in glamour shots of my wife and I. The pictures turned out amazing and I treasure them.

    Main moral is to figure out what you want first, then look for that rather than trying to explore the whole space.

  • New to Rust - what is the most fun way to learn the language?

    Jump

  • Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company

    Jump

  • Webpass used to be great. The instant it became Google Fiber, it seemed to be totally abandoned; no rollout to new buildings/neighborhoods, no speed improvements (most locations still top out at 1Gbps and local favorite Sonic has rolled out 10Gbps fiber throughout the Bay Area), and prices are stubbornly high ($70/mo for 1Gbps versus $40 from competitors). Oh, and there's still no IPv6.

    I'm sure Astound will be even worse but Google has been an awful steward of this service.

  • Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

    Jump

  • (this is the same reason that big solar systems require an oversized busbar on your main panel)

  • Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

    Jump

  • I think the risk is more that someone has a 15A-rated outlet on a 15A circuit breaker, plugs a solar panel into one socket and then a power strip with 30A of space heaters into the other socket. Breaker doesn't trip because the main panel is only providing 15A, but the outlet lights on fire.

    Not sure why that isn't a problem in places these are more common.

  • Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source

    Jump

  • MySQL often has moderately higher performance (particularly for workloads where you want your data clustered by PK, which is how InnoDB is natively structured) and its replication system is much more flexible than either of PostgreSQL's. I like Percona personally, but MariaDB is fine too.

  • Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models

    Jump

  • Who would’ve thought those Arkady Martine books would be so prescient?

  • Deleted

    The average Windows user doesn't care about TPM 2.0

    Jump

  • The average Windows user might not care, but the average Windows license buyer is probably a corporate IT department, which tend to care about compliance quite a bit...

  • Big Beautiful Bill Keeps Falling Apart, Will Pass Anyway

    Jump

  • Nobody in that coalition wants to think about their shit real life pulling in social security and living in a ticky tacky detached shitbox off a stroad in a suburb; they all envision themselves as temporarily inconvenienced mega millionaires whose biggest problem would be the capital gains tax rate if only those dang immigrants, brown people, women, and purple-haired hippies would stop repressing them. It's e the American way!

  • California Sen. Alex Padilla handcuffed at Noem news conference in LA

  • Pocket shutting down

  • Maybe Kobo will finally make an API for loading articles so we can send them from Instapaper/Raindrop/Pinboard/etc...

  • FDA will limit Covid vaccines to people over 65 or at high risk of serious illness, leaders say

    Jump

  • Until they actually publish the policy, who knows, right? Just because that was the "high risk" list last time doesn't mean that the new FDA won't declare that the only risk factor is having a golf handicap above 3...

  • FDA will limit Covid vaccines to people over 65 or at high risk of serious illness, leaders say

    Jump

  • This appears to be the relevant place to leave feedback, FWIW. I posted a comment this morning!

  • RFK Jr. hires anti-vaccine advocate to study debunked vaccine, autism link

    Jump

  • "Anti-vaccine advocate" is a weird way of phrasing "random unqualified non-doctor who got in trouble for working with his dad to chemically castrate autistic children"
