This is ridiculous. How did the Remington Model 700 make it on the ballot?
LOL Idaho is voting on a state gun. This is the most Idaho thing I’ve seen

How did Gemini handle this? Def wasn’t expecting this.

KelTec supplying the UNSC makes _so much sense_ Assault rifle with 60 round box magazines? .50 caliber pistol with a 2X scope? Pump action shotgun with the tube magazine on top? Double-barrel rocket launcher? Yeah, sounds like KelTec

My CTO told me engineers keep burning his tokens so I asked how many tokens he has and he said he just goes to OpenRouter and gets more tokens afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding his fundraising round to frontier labs and then our investors started crying.

I see these "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers everywhere. Where are the "I bought this after Elon crashed out on Twitter" bumper stickers?

5 year old: "What if we just made a really big gun and put a couple jet engines on the back?" A-10 engineer: "Wait, kid... Say that again."

Superintelligence isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our research dangerous? Why not marry safe research if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired." #CaveJensen

"Jensen" is pretty close to "Johnson"... #CaveJensen quotes about AI. "The frontier lab boys say there's a 10-25% chance we all die. Which sounds like a 75-90% chance we all live! I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face."

Dear frontier AI employees, when leaving audio logs around the office, please remember to intermix: 1) reports of what happened 2) tragic personal anecdotes 3) creepy forebodings 4) the locations of useful access keycards and passwords This will greatly help the protagonist.

I wish I was still teaching, because this would be a great candidate for replacing my old slide on why your prior probabilities should not be zero
The chances of being killed by a landmine delivered by a bear are low, but they are never zero.

“First they came for matrix multiplication And I did not speak out Because Bitcoin did not use matrices Then they came for Navier–Stokes And I did not speak out Because Bitcoin does not use fluid mechanics Then they came for the unit-distance conjecture And I did not speak out Because Bitcoin did not use geometry Then they came for asymptotic SAT solving And I did not speak out Because Bitcoin was not asymptotic Then they came for elliptic curves And I was like oh shit” - @EranTromer

A fun take is that the ministry provides sinecures to purebloods for ideological reasons. "Oh, the Weasleys had _another_ kid? Fine, give Arthur something at the department head level. I guess he can have Misuse of Muggle Artefacts. Seems like he can't do much damage there"
The Weasleys are such a gigachad family. Arthur Weasley writes laws to enable his hobbies and smashes a thicc redhead so much he got seven kids who ended up being Quidditch captains, prefects, head boys, Gringotts curse breakers, married to the most famous Dark Wizard Catcher in history, a super hot French veela, dragon tamers, most successful joke shop owners

I asked, "Are you sure?" They replied that they'd verified it in Lean. I said, "OK but are you sure?"

Anti-protocol field where I provide a hash, and my homelab keeps trying things until it delivers the original blob
url protocol field where you have to use the full form like http:tls:tcp:ip:wifi://

It's really nice that we got The Hackening after photorealistic image generation. All the salacious photos of you that are about to be dumped online? "Huh, the AI did a really good job generating those!"

As an American, I can't let this go. Finally, a problem that we can solve with MORE GUNS! An AR-15 is perfect for this
JUST IN: Wolves are reportedly roaming into Finnish villages after Google cleared over 56 million square feet of forest for AI data centers.

Since it looks like we're getting the DataKrash from Cyberpunk, who is Johnny Silverhand in our world? Someone who is anti-authority. Who is censored by the big corporations. Someone whose music carries a message the corpos don't want you to hear. youtube.com/watch?v=dB0H2Pai…
