tbc from a normie perspective, "just use NixOS" has this vibe, that's what I mean by replaced

i mean though, like the counter-accusations are credible imo

think the inverse conversion is a bit easier to understand though

this just seems fully delusional to me, tbph, even more so with more distance from that era

But I lived through the years of peak woke, and it was a McCarthyite experience. I lived with the blue-state governance that doctrinaire progressivism encouraged, and it yielded civic and educational collapse. And I would prefer not to give the far left the power to regulate and prosecute and rewrite the federal budget.

really burying the lede here

For the past two years, I've been fortunate that The Times has let me pursue that kind of questioning as a podcast host. And this month, I accepted a position with CBS News's "60 Minutes," where the asking of questions will be central to my professional work.

That means that this is my last column for The Times, in this season at least. Once I would have imagined a valedictory essay offering some stirring brief for religious conservatism, some last foray into the territory where I was most likely to be in disagreement with my readers. But I don't think that quite fits the moment.

another downward revision of prior months, plus a report miss of 100k. stocks are up this morning. ☕

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down by 66,000, from +129,000 to +63,000, and the change for June was revised down by 37,000, from +57,000 to +20,000. With these revisions, employment in May and June combined is 103,000 lower than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.)

He wears a high-collared jacket over a red shirt. In the background, a blonde woman in a purple mini-skirt stands beside a sleek red hovercar on a wet, rainy street illuminated by glowing neon signs and Japanese lettering.

im classifying chickens you wouldn't believe

A. Physics & Menu Hybrid Names (Fun / Descriptive)

1. Tau-Top Chicken (T-t Leptochicken) - The Heavyweight Gourmet

2. Tau-Neutrino Top Chicken (vr-t Leptochicken) - The Invisible Ghost Pepper Chicken

3. Muon-Top Chicken (µ-t Leptochicken) - The Cosmic Ray Chicken

4. Muon-Neutrino Top Chicken (Vu-t Leptochicken) - The Subatomic Speakeasy Chicken

5. Electron-Top Chicken (e-t Leptochicken) - The Electric Spicy Chicken

.Electron-Neutrino Top Chicken (Ve-t Leptochicken) - The Zero-Charge Mild Chicken

B. Theoretical Physics Classification (BRW Notation)

In particle physics, top-quark couplings often involve 3rd-generation leptons (especially the T lepton and v) to explain B-physics anomalies. The most famous single scalar/vector leptoquark states coupling to top quarks are:

• S1(T) Leptochicken (Scalar singlet pairing top chicken and tau)

• R2(te/Tu) Leptochicken (Scalar doublet pairing top chicken and light charged leptons)

• U(tT/bv,) Leptochicken (Vector singlet leptoquark-very popular in B-anomaly literature

maybe don't look into it too hard, yk?

The FAA and NTSB are investigating a safety incident in Washington D.C., where an Envoy Air commercial jet came too close to President Donald Trump's Marine One helicopter. Officials confirmed there was a momentary loss of separation between the aircraft.

yes hahahha yes

Orthographic scale comparison chart titled "IKSA HULLS AT COMMON SCALE" featuring two 3D grey clay starship models against a dark background. The top model is the 194.10-meter heavy cargo hauler "HACKETT," and below it is the much smaller 62.90-meter light hauler "EL CAJON," showing relative proportions and design similarities.

i give you the obj file of SSV Ergo Infinitum (this is how it looked in my head essentially)

3D clay render of a hard sci-fi starship against a dark background, viewed from a rear three-quarters angle. The model features a rounded bow shield cap, a long central spine with a triangular radiator panel, a segmented ringed hull, and side-mounted cargo containers.

idk when they gave Claude blender access in the Web app, but it slaps.

3D clay render of a hard sci-fi spacecraft against a dark background. The elongated ship features a wireframe-encased spherical tank cluster at the bow, a long central spine with a large triangular radiator panel, and a blocky aft section braced by diagonal structural struts.

Two people pose back-to-back with crossed arms at a fan convention booth. On the left, a blonde woman wearing a dark sleeveless crop top, dark skinny jeans, and black ankle boots smiles toward the camera. On the right stands a person wearing a vibrant pink, purple, and black patterned short-sleeve shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers, with their face and head digitally pixelated out. The background features convention tables, photo prints, and promotional banners.

wait that means i can just calculate j-lens in my existing research project and get something legible to the audience using the thing i was trying to calculate anyway 🤔

also, Alastair Reynolds basically exactly described a sonnet model agonizing of it should AskUserQuestions or not in Absolution Gap (it's part of a series)

The anomaly moved up like this, through another three layers of steadily increasing intelligence.

By the time the final layer was invoked. only one outstanding event remained in the packet: the original transient sensor anomaly, the one that had lasted just over half a second. None of the underlying layers could account for the error via the usual statistical patterns and look-up rules.

An event only filtered this high in the system once or twice a minute.

Now, for the first time, something with real intelligence was invoked. The gamma- level subpersona in charge of overseeing layer-six exceptions was part of the last line of defence between the cybernetics and the ship's flesh crew. It was the sub-persona that had the difficult role of deciding whether a given error merited the attention of its human stewards. Over the years it had learned not to cry wolf too often: if it did, its owners might decide that it needed upgrading. As a consequence, the subpersona agonised for many seconds before deciding what to do.

ya why can't anyone deal with LLMs in SF? :3

"Ah," Chaeyoung said with a knowing nod. "Of course, you use an exocortex."

Garcia looked offended. "I take it you're familiar?"

"I did work in Jay Sea for two and a half years, so yes."

"And you were less than impressed?"

"I just don't see what the appeal is for exocortices over other autonomous research architectures, especially for scientific applications."

Garcia shrugged with his hands. "We don't need to get into the arguments now. Whatever your opinion of them is, they work, they're well tested, and you will have to integrate into our system if you want full access. We don't use hardlines, only softlines, so it's non-invasive, EAR-only."

"Fuck."

This was why she didn't like exocortices. They were more like a nervous system, grown rather than engineered, which meant they had all these connections to every database, system, or tool Grayson Services Group had wanted to network. This included a communications system to the outside world, so for obvious reasons, they had cut her off from these. Yet, the exocortex retained memory of these former connections and retrieved data from the random noise in the circuits of the network at the edges of the space Chaeyoung could see, creating the illusion of her still being connected, like phantom pain for a severed nerve. Phantom data and hallucination.

i just do not see the light of the biocosmist common cause in any of this, im sorry "forces beyond your ken may impact you" ya it's called the origin on proton spin, the spirit of life in the cosmos still yearns for freedom, that's the point?

✧⁺⋆🌘 Dream Rotator NPC Alex 🌒⋆.˚₊✩@lastnpcalex· Jul 3

i mean frankly, this isn't biocosmism "the weak accept what they must, it is utopia because we declare it to be" hmm.. no.
