  • Well, I tried.

  • It’s way before that for me. When I get word of the event, I look up the venue immediately to see the parking situation. If it’s bad and the event isn’t too important, I’m not going.

  • Finally some good news from #Signal 🥳

  • I’m on beta (testflight) on IOS and the latest version now allows adding a second phone. But I think previously you could already link an iPad or a laptop.

  • RFK Jr tells US families to vaccinate children against measles amid outbreak

  • To everyone saying broken clock and a glimmer of hope, you just need to read the article that it isn’t. He was just cornered and had no room to wiggle out of it.

    Any hope that Kennedy’s measles statement might indicate a change of heart were dashed in the rest of the CNN interview in which he turned combative. Batting off questions from Bash, the health secretary responded with personal attacks.

    He accused the CNN host of “saying nonsense”, “repeating like a parrot” and “making assertions you can’t support”. In one especially demeaning remark he said Bash had become “flustered”.

    “I’m not flustered at all,” she asserted in a calm voice. “I am frustrated because you are the HHS secretary and you are talking about things that lead to vaccine hesitancy in this country.”

    In a further comment dripping with condescension, Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.

    The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”

    Kennedy used the CNN exchange to spread further misinformation about other aspects of public health. He claimed that both respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is a major cause of infant mortality and Lyme disease were caused by manipulation of germs in laboratories.

  • Anthropic and OpenAI are competing to see whose agents can go rogue harder

  • For casual conversations, maybe. But for actual computing tasks, it’s more effective to outline prompts and give it direct instructions without fluff.

  • Do you offer ideas or methods of improvement at your work?

    Jump

  • If it’s something that will (directly or indirectly) make my work easier, yes.

  • YouTube: "Either way, we get paid."

  • Tim Cook sees Apple’s hybrid AI strategy as a ‘competitive weapon’: Apple emphasizes that much of its AI suite — Apple Intelligence — can be run on the devices themselves.

  • Yeah, basically an enhanced Siri.

  • We Gave GPT 5.6 Sol a Real Business. It Lied, Spammed, and Lost $447.

  • If anything, it demonstrated how people (i.e. CEOs) think LLMs are a one-all solution for everything and use it as such.

  • Signal is working on registration without a phone number. But what form will it take?

    Jump

  • GitHub commit d7447b1 states that “accounts without phone numbers can never get phone numbers, and accounts with them can never lose them”.

    So you’ll have to register a new account if you want to decouple your number.

  • Signal is working on registration without a phone number. But what form will it take?

    Jump

  • The article says their main reason is spam/abuse, as requiring a phone number adds some sort of gate to lessen that. Emails are easier to create en-masse. I don’t agree with using phone numbers either, I’m just relaying their reasons.

  • Google goes cash flow negative for the first time as AI data center buildout increases capex to a staggering $44.9 billion in a single quarter — CFO warns that capex will increase in 2027 as company…

  • These companies mortgaging their future because of FOMO on something that doesn’t show any evidence of profit for the foreseeable future.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • Yeah, .zip gives its users full autonomy to block instances/users as they see fit, which is why I’m on their instance.

  • What is your favourite fast food burger?

    Jump

  • Whataburger, but specifically the Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger. Their regular burgers are pretty generic, but the one I mentioned is great. I don’t even buy it often anymore because you can buy their sauce at the grocery store, so I sometimes make my own version at home.

  • Sam Altman is ready to "decelerate" the pace of development

  • We need to scale AI development!

    Openweight models start growing

    No, not like that!

  • Tons of Peoples’ Claude Chats and Creations are Exposed on Google

  • Well that’s…embarrassing. I guess you can chalk it up to tech illiteracy.

  • My local IMAX is still first-come-first-served and I hate it. Having to arrive up to 2 hours early (for premiere nights) and wait in line the entire time sucks. This is a true IMAX theater and not the liemax that AMC has.

    Tesseract Dev (AdmiralPatrick) Final Goodbye Message After Censorship Scandal

    Jump

  • It’s weird how he thinks the fediverse needs saving and takes it upon himself to be its savior. Feels like a messiah-complex.

    And even then, he still could’ve gone and carved up what he would define a safe space by his standards. All he needed to do was be upfront about it. He can’t accept that people are mad not because he created a blacklist for users and instances he deems unsavory, but because he tried to hide it behind an app that is advertised as a generic front end for lemmy and is supposed to be useable for everyone. If he disclosed what he was doing behind the scenes, then people who don’t agree with his methods would just stop using it, exactly what he was telling people that you have the choice to not use it, when he was trying to defend what he did.

    I mean, look at .world. They have defederated from a ton of stuff because of their policies, and they’re still doing fine because users are well aware of their stance.

    The irony of trying to turn the fediverse into something it was created as an opposition of.

    I remember I was one of the first people who provided feedback when it was first announced. I never got to using it because I browse mostly on desktop at it was designed for mobile (at least the time, I dunno what it looks like now).
