@skywatch.blue What's happening here? I know Aaron posts a lot but what triggered the labels?

Watching the highlights of the Phillies-Nats game and am really confused by the advertising behind home plate. Had to make sure I wasn't accidently watching highlights for 5 years ago. Guess Terra must have paid up front. #LUNAtic

The advertising banner behind home plate in Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals baseball team. The ad is for Terra, a crypto project that went under in 2024.

A 4 panel comic.

Panel 1: Tomato approaches Strawberry, Raspberry, and Blueberry. Tomato asks "Can I join the Berry Club?" to which Strawberry replies "Sorry Tomato, berries only"

Panel 2: Holding up a paper, Tomato states "Actually, according to this article I AM a berry and you're not." Strawberry, confused, replies "That's not possible! "Berry" is right in my name!"

Panel 3: Strawberry yells in dismay "No! This can't be! Accessory fruit?? What the hell is that?! What am I!?!" Raspberry screams "I'm not a berry either?!!"

Panel 4: Banana, Watermelon, Tomato, and Blueberry sit in a circle (with Strawberry in the fetal position in the distance). Blueberry ponders "These are strange times for Berry Club. Strange times..."

Investors benefit from the increased transparency which is why they're proposing to tone down the transparency?

Screenshot from the press release which states "The United States’ dynamic public securities markets offer benefits to issuers and investors alike. Issuers can raise capital through the public markets on more favorable terms as compared to private markets, and investors benefit from the increased transparency and liquidity provided by the public markets. The line " investors benefit from the increased transparency" is highlighted for emphasis.

Dear Microsoft: Fuck all the way off with this. This is visually disruptive and literally appears above data in those cells. You're making this shit even less useful. The ribbon exists for a reason, put this bullshit there, not in the field of play.

Screenshot of the bottom-right corner of Microsoft Excel. Over the cells is a floating Microsoft Copilot button.

Reminds me of this classic. He got (rightfully but probably too harshly) dragged for this.

A tweet by Eliot Shorr-Parks in August 2020 that reads:

"I could maybe score a touchdown. I could luck into a home run. I could probably get two points in an NBA game.

I could play hundreds of games of hockey and never, ever score a goal. It looks impossible."

1. I'm not big on conspiracies but seems awfully coincidental that the neighbourhood where this guy lives is also the neighbourhood where break-ins are higher. 2. So this guy is just the protag from the first Purge movie?

Screenshot from the article that reads:

Campbell holds the Canadian licensing rights for Flock, and told the Guardian he “absolutely has a commercial interest in creating a viable business” around the security system. But he also said he was motivated by a feeling of frustration from friends and neighbours that not enough was being done.

People never understands what it means when "AP" follows an author's name. Different news sources can end up with different images for the same article - sometimes it isn't the best image. And the SF Chronicle tweet now shows a different image anyway.

The author block, showing that the article was authored by Dave Skretta, AP Sports Writer, and not a reporter for the SF Chronicle.

Google search results for "Alysa Liu dazzles to win figure skating gold, ending a 24-year Olympic drought for US women." One image shows Alysa Liu and the other shows Ami Nakai.

SF Chronicle tweet titled "JUST IN: JUST IN: Alysa Liu won Olympic gold for the U.S. in women’s figure skating, ending a 24-year drought."

Guaranteed that any prop person could create a cheaper and more convincing prop than this unreadable AI-generated garbage.

A screenshot from the trailer of Darren Aranofsky's new AI animated series 'On This Day... 1776' showing Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Nearly all the words are unreadable AI garbage.

Kraz@thatkraz· Jan 29

It's the little details that really shine through. Every prop person in existence could have make a convincing prop of Common Sense but we're left with this garbage. Whole trailer is a mix of uncanny valley and shots that don't stay on one thing for more than a few seconds. Just AI slop.

GenAI rendering of Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Other than the title (Common Sense; addressed to the inhabitants of America, on the flowing interefting subjects) the rest of the document is unreadable gibberish characters.

Interesting point that Judge Novak included:

Notably, even if Ms. Halligan was validly appointed by Attorney General Bondi on September 22, 2025, that appointment would expire today, January 20, 2026.

Trump will reverse course when the bankers dangle some money at him. But until then, a note about the admin hypocrisy regarding credit cards: www.reuters.com/business/fin...

President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday asked a federal court to throw out a regulation capping credit card late fees at $8, saying it agreed with business and banking groups that alleged in a lawsuit that the rule was illegal.

The filing in federal court in Texas by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and business groups that brought the case asked U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth to enter a final order terminating the late fee rule.

Pittman had previously blocked the CFPB from implementing the rule, which was part of Democratic President Joe Biden's broader crackdown on "junk fees,” though Trump’s Republican administration could have defended the rule on appeal.

Crazy that @bsky.app is now actively suggesting inauthentic accounts to follow.

Bluesky suggestion for a similar account. But that suggestion is clearly a bot.

Kraz@thatkraz· Dec 23

Getting really tired of the less-than-a-day-old bots that follow 10K people and basically just post/repost the same spam links to shitty t-shirts.

A bsky account that's 3 hours old but has managed to follow 9.8K people. Their top post is a link to a spam/scam t-shirt. One of many accounts that keep popping up.

It's fun comparing him to the other rookie QB on the Browns cause people readily admit that guy has looked bad.

Advanced QB stat numbers for S. Sanders and D. Gabriel (Browns QBs). Stats show Sanders is worse in EPA+CPOE composite, Adj. EPA/play, EPA/play, success rate, comp%, and CPOE. He's only better in air yards.

I had a thought about that earlier today

Every article I read of "crime prevention AI" (or just even general "new crime prevention technology") is just the Simpson's Aurora Borealis meme. "You're making some pretty big claims, can we see any proof?" "No"

In an interview, Elder said Securus’ monitoring efforts have helped disrupt human trafficking and gang activities organized from within prisons, among other crimes, and said its tools are also used to identify prison staff who are bringing in contraband. But the company did not provide MIT Technology Review with any cases specifically uncovered by its new AI models.

Conversation should have ended right here.

User Yallop: Here's my question: why did the files that you submitted name Mark Shin well as the author?

User joelreymont: Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it. I did ask AI to look at the OxCaml implementation in the beginning.

joelreymont's comment has 24 thumbs down reactions and 14 laughing reactions.

I think we can question some of his work ethic when his sports knowledge is questionable and he's caught playing solitaire instead of watching the live sporting event he's attending. Also going to question the work ethic when the output is quantity and not quality.

Screenshot for the article that reads: "It’s not to say that Smith doesn’t deserve it. You can say what you want about his television persona, his judgment, his political forays, or what his rise has meant for the overall industry, but his work ethic is unmatched and he is obviously a huge cross-cultural star."

The line "but his work ethic is unmatched" is highlighted.

I have only today learned of this man's existence and already hate him. If you don't teach a kid the word "horse" then how do you later teach them "'sawhorse" or "horsepower" or "horsing around" especially if there are no more pictures?

"Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that."

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.

I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?

He dismissed my question.

"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."
