A: “Why are you knitting so fast? You in a rush?” B: “I’m almost out of yarn, gotta get this sweater done before it runs out”

I recently learned there is a page showing just the comments of the communities you are subscribed to; that works for me because this space is so incredibly low-traffic, but I guess falls apart if you use that account to follow higher-traffic chatter.

Just leave the computer running, the capacitors will explode before the model is done evaluating.

(Or it’ll spring a pre-auth vuln and turn into a buttcoin miner, or it’ll experience a blip in communication latency and lose its ability to talk to the others in its cluster, …)

Whoever it is that’s going to build those machines that scare us so much, we will find him. And we will fund him.

I’m glad they finally got around to productizing the month name inference engine

Author has a pronoun right in the title. Just like one of these “there is a huge spider perching on your shoulder” situations.

With just a little bit of creative bin-packing they can share a core with the processes that simulate the smell of sewage and leafblower noise.

See that sucker over there? If I don’t mug him, somebody else, probably a guy with much looser morals than me, will. [pulls down the balaclava]

Maybe when babies don’t have to be squeezed out a way too small bony orifice at great risk to the orifice-bearer, women will finally get to be people in his eyes.

I was wondering if we are looking at the same map, and then it turns out there are two Valley Forges: one is a neighborhood in (yep!) the Philly suburbs, the other is a township next to York, PA. The latter is what I was referring to!

“Suburbs of Philadelphia” is pretty funny to me - it’s a 2:15+h car ride there from Philly. Americans might consider 100 miles a short commute, but dang. When does a part of PA stop being a Philly suburb and start being a Pittsburgh suburb?

York and the surrounding counties are currently very much a culture war battleground. There’s a bunch of school board initiated censorship, bomb threats against libraries (and then subsequent defunding of those unless they promise not to do anything that could cause offense to domestic terrorists), that sort of thing. (Edit: forgot to mention the hate tracker, some more stuff I didn’t think I wanted to know about my own neighbors)

That crap is done by people and I imagine these folks are among those doing it, and so are their friends and neighbors.
