My mate pointed out that my current girlfriend has the same chin as the late Bruce Forsyth. Trouble is, he's right and I never really noticed. Now every time we have sex I imagine her saying "didn't you do well" in his voice. I think this relationship is doomed.
@fesshole See if she'll give you a Brucey Bonus
There's a viral dynamic to LLM use on programming teams that has profound consequences. All it takes is one guy who is all-in on code gen to start pushing for its use, and the entire team has to react to that in one way or another. In many cases the default social reflex is to live and let live, which in practice means letting LLM use proliferate and completely transform the team, its processes, and its output for the worse.

Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?
This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.
Reddit awards was how the servers were funded back in the day, so it was possible to keep reddit non-commercial.
Hegseth & staff were at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery today. As they leave, chatting & someone laughing, all against the rule of silence & decorum at the tomb, the soldier guarding the tomb had to loudly reprimand them, just as he would do if they were anyone else.

KNBR is a 50KW "Class A" (formerly "clear channel") mediumwave (AM) rado station broadcasting on 680 KHz, serving the San Francisco Bay area (and, at night, most of the west coast of the US). Opened in 1922, It was originally known as KPO, (later KNBC, and still later KNBR), and soon became the flagship station for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC)'s new western radio network. It is currently owned by Cumulus Media and now broadcasts a sports format. It sits next to the former KGEI site.
Mediumwave (AM) broadcast radio uses lower frequencies than other modern broadcasting and so requires much larger antennas (generally getting larger and larger as the frequency gets lower on the dial). This often entails highly customized antenna designs engineered for the particular site and station frequencies. For most radio stations (FM, TV, etc), the towers are there simply to get the relatively small antennas up high, but for AM stations like KNBR, the towers generally ARE the antennas.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST THE CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA
The whole thing is clearly a critique of modern capitalism, but there is this underlying libertarian bent to it that I expect will get worse, and a lot of contrived excuses for the "correct" course of action to be hurting innocent people.
This could be read as a pretty leftist take on capitalist exploitation, but it is a hop and a skip from rugged individualism. (which the book has, so far, explicitly acted against.)
I'm curious about how it will continue to evolve.
This is an American Cultivation novel.
Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/6.3), Phase One IQ4-150 digital back, Cambo 1250 camera (vertically shifted -23mm).
This simple photo pushed the 50mm lens to the limits of its image circle with the large shift required to keep the tall antenna mast fully in the frame while maintaining its geometry. Hard vignetting of the upper corners was visible in the full sensor image, but fortunately the composition benefited from a narrower aspect ratio that stayed within the image circle.

@mpjgregoire @gemlog @DLink We stayed because we quickly developed (and are still developing) easy-to-use third-party clients, namely for Mastodon. On Windows they are keyboard-driven, with dead simple UI or without one at all (keyboard + screen reader). that's what Twitter allowed us in the past, now Mastodon seems to be the only similar thing. Because we are used to communicate by short messages (well, not too short actually now), share links, ask for help etc.

@refactoredd Yeah two friends played our campaign on Switch 2 and had a great time with it
@christianselig I feel like it would be kinda perfect on switch hahah. Sadly all my friends have young children so I guess I’m waiting ten years to play 😢
@PhoenixSerenity LOL. Asher is so cute. He really doesn’t look amused though.
@rlstone4dems He wasn't pleased 😹
We hope these fingerprinting test results are useful to everyone looking to switch to a browser that respects and protects their privacy. We also hope they are galvanizing to any browser engineering team working to improve their browser's privacy.
We'll keep testing over time! ✅❌
Pobre el treballador de TV3 quan Salvador Illa vegi que s’ha colat en la captura d’un tuit seu una resposta no massa a favor d’ell. 😂

Anduril demos night-vision sensor for tracking satellites in darkness
"What's unique is it's got a huge dynamic range. We can see things in full dark."

@arstechnica If Starlink et al have their way there won't be much full dark left soon...

There were various slides about sexual response cycles and now we're watching a video of a talk about taking the shame and stigma out of sex
