There is a sharp contradiction in populist movements decrying modernism’s break from history while simultaneously bypassing public preservation boards and historic guidelines to drop a massive, non-traditional ballroom right into the historically symmetrical East Wing of the White House complex

It's going to be a real problem for the AI industry if a huge chunk of the pot of money that gets passed around in a circle between them turns out to have come from illegally circumventing export restrictions

I guess now we know how China could iterate so fast on all those cheaper open weight models.
Using one of these is profiting from the proceeds of a violation of export control.
Whenever someone asks me to take a picture of them, I always take two photos. I tell them the second one is to make sure it's good, but the truth is the first one was just a picture of me while I pointed their phone at them.
I imagine when they look back they ask "Who is this guy? OH! He's the one who took the picture of us!" and then they probably delete me, but just for a few seconds, I lived rent free in their heads.

A startup with great unit economics and no story will raise fuck all. A startup with a great story and dogshit economics will raise until the cows come home.
Stop treating your story like the garnish.
To a VC, it’s the entire meal.

@TerryHancock Have you seen the wiki article about dummymandering? :)
@mc @mariajeperez yep. The theme from "Harry's Game" was on #totp
@keefmarshall lovely song.... would recommend their soundtrack to the "Robin Hood" TV Series as well. "Robin, the hooded man" 😉 @mariajeperez
It's Boe-ver: @AssociatedPress has finally called the election in Colorado's Fourth District, and Lauren Boebert was beaten handily by Democrat Eileen Laubacher. Search Surf to see what people are writing and posting.

@spla Hòstia, jo quan sento "ni de dretes ni d'esquerres", em foto tens com la corda d'un violí.
@socjo penso que aquest és el problema, ens fixem en el que no té importància comparat amb l’objectiu que entenc que volem molts, la independència.
Yes. The answer is yes, obvious to anyone with even a modicum of intellectual ability and even the finest sense of history.

We didn’t plan it for this day, Friday the 13th… but… we are saying goodbye to our little void this morning. She’s 18. She still has things to say, as she has every day we’ve known her. But it has been harder these last few weeks and months and it is time that she rests. ❤️ ❤️ 🌈 🐈⬛
We’ll miss you Whiskers.
Last and first pictures of her. We got her in April 2010 because our daughter picked her up when we were looking for cats at the SPCA… manhandling her mercilessly… and she just purred. Constantly and loudly.
I believe she was born May 2008, so 18.5yrs!

But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen
It literally takes as few as 2 people to have a meaningful discussion, so the idea it needs to be some kind of massively large site is already a false premise.
You mean “as few as 3”. With only two people, that conversation could have been an email.
Wait, is it Swords Against Cerebus day? Or was that last week?
Last episode was... 11 days ago! So hopefully!
Getting to spend my lunch break playing with fire, and then getting to kill time on an easy afternoon while listening to Swords Against service would be a hell of a day XD
And here we have... a taxidermy rabbit with dolls hands, wearing a wedding dress (possible christening gown?), riding a wooden rocking horse.
Oh aye. That's the good stuff.

@dxzdb I used to go to one but I had way better results with PT except PT was more expensive. Although the tradeoff was, do PT for awhile and it'd be good for months or basically years. For me chiropractic was like.. every 2 weeks with no end in sight.
@bigzaphod I ended up pretty much the total opposite. Chiro fixes me up on average every couple of years. Usually only a very few visits - whereas the one PT thing I didn’t was weeks and at the “end” I wasn’t really convinced they fixed it (tennis elbow)!
I suppose it’s all in who you get
