Republicans lost their shit but not Donald Trump!

Because of the diaper.

...and then they all died of dysentery because that uneducated, unnamed boy was never taught proper sanitation because he pooped in the woods nearby and didn't bury it, resulting in shigellosis being spread to the entire family by the flies that landed in the poop transferring the shigella dysenteriae bacteria on to the food the family was preparing for the poor, sweet boy who they worried would drive his pole into their daughters just as surely as he would a pole into the ground.

The "ceiling" is the fact that no matter how fast AI can write code, it still needs to be reviewed by humans. Even if it passes the tests.

As much as everyone thinks they can take the human review step out of the process with testing, AI still fucks up enough that it's a bad idea. We'll be in this state until actually intelligent AI comes along. Some evolution of machine learning beyond LLMs.

They'll claim that because someone is LGBTQ+, their birth certificate is fraudulent and that counts as enough evidence for denaturalization.

Interesting: I guess we're about to officially find out just who he considers "a person".

Ah yes. I'm actually impressed that they were able to determine that he was "Verified BS" so quickly.

That's one hell of a science fair project! Imagine the presentation title:

Girls are more into toys than boys are.

Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.

Two reasons:

  • The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
  • The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn't cross the sensory boundary).

Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.

Who are the people that care about these things? Everyone's going to put a case on it anyway.

If I were in charge of product design we'd have two phones:

  • A tiny one for people who like tiny things
  • A big honkin chonker with a 30-day battery life that could jump start a car that would fit in a man's pocket no problem

Maybe we should take a page from the Trumpers here and declare it a conspiracy!

The deep state doesn't want people following Harris! They don't want you to know about it. They think they know better than you!

"Let me tell you, folks, I know how to follow people and this Twitter situation smells. I know all about smelling. Smells. Smelling. Smell... Ling! The word just sounds awful, right? They want you to smell things. They're coming for your smells!"

Haha, yeah... This is Elon Musk's X.com we're talking about. It's just sheer incompetence and the usual buggy bullshit. We should expect this as normal X behavior at this point. Is anyone really surprised that X is suddenly throwing errors when users try basic functionality? Come on. The platform is garbage and that's not even taking account the garbage present on the platform.

Unless it runs Linux it doesn't stand a chance. The moment you decide to sell a handheld gaming console running Windows you doom it to failure. It's the worst OS possible for that purpose.
