You have the advantage of me, unfortunately

Depends on what’s available. Dubs are high ceiling/low floor, whereas subs are low ceiling/high floor, so when both are available, I try the dub first and if the dub is bad I fail over to the sub.

Here’s what I know about their conservation program:

Schwartz said he’s especially worried about noises from the data center affecting the breeding of clouded leopards, a vulnerable species that the zoo is working to conserve.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Don’t judge me too harshly.

I won’t be joining this one, but I wish you good luck — this one seems like it’s gonna be a lot of work to moderate. Hope you manage to create a good space that advances positive ideas.

You don’t buy a cow and then go to the city and say you don’t have anywhere to store your cow. There’s no reason we should be allocating public roadways for the storage of personal vehicles.

Anil Dash claims he’s made an ethical AI: https://www.anildash.com/2026/04/28/one-good-ai-is-here/

I haven’t taken the time to verify his claims personally, it sounds like a reasonable attempt:

What’s good? Something that checks every box I can think of for our most immediately positive goals: it’s trained entirely with data that were consensually gathered; it’s completely open source and open weights, so anybody can examine it to know exactly how it works and what biases or flaws it might have; it’s designed to run on ordinary computers that normal people have access to — including those that can run entirely on renewable and responsible energy sources. And it is controlled by creators, not extractors, people who are inarguably on the side of artists and creatives and those who make art and culture in the world, designed to support and enable and empower their expression. No billionaires or guests of Epstein’s island were involved in the creation of this technology.

Sports fedi seems like it’s a lot more fun than the rest of the fediverse. Y’all okay?

Certainly the most mildly irritating thing about this picture is that you’ve posted it to 10 separate communities (so far)

The --committer and --author flags to git log accept a regex, so just match on everything that isn’t your bot.

The timing was impeccable, it was right as I was finishing reading the last box.

I do recognize your handle, I’ll give you that much.

Bicycles are allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs in many areas; it may be worth checking to see if you live in one of them. But rest assured! Statistically, for every one of those you see, there are hundreds more cars violating traffic laws.

Me too! It’s exhausting, and the most frustrating part is that it’s contagious. Generally, this means it’s time for me to turn off my phone and go outside in the sunshine and watch a soccer game. I dunno what your “watch a soccer game” is, but things like riding a bike or walking in a park or dangling your legs in the ocean definitely qualify. Mostly, the idea is to remind myself there are good things too, and to remember that the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.

I’m with him that the evil is mostly coming from Miller et al, but I don’t think there’s enough Trump left to do much of anything other than watch cable news and shitpost online:

López Obrador urges Trump to “tell the parasites surrounding him to go to hell” and concludes by saying “for everyone’s sake, let the other Trump return”.

Precisely:

This was backed up by traffic officer PC Mark Hodson of West Midlands police who said that the “effects of behavior that people are moaning about is negligible. If you look at the statistics, if you look at the actual threat of harm, cyclists aren’t posing a risk to anybody.”

Well, the drivers are by-and-large the ones who opposed properly funding the light rail’s initial construction, so I do still blame them.

I think what’s most concerning is that it’s an elevated station. How do you leave the surface and not notice?

This study doesn’t really improve my impression of LLMs, but it does really hurt my impression of the value of a law degree:

Participants created 40 representative contract law questions that students might ask after class or during office hours, wrote their own answers, and then evaluated responses without knowing whether they came from AI or other participating professors. The AI systems performed comparably to the best human instructor in the study.

Perhaps most striking: professors flagged AI responses as pedagogically harmful only 3.5% of the time, compared to 12% for peer-written answers.

“In most fields where AI gets tested, there’s a right answer. In law, there often isn’t,” said Sarath Sanga, co-author and professor at Yale Law School. “Two opposing arguments can both be good. What we wanted to know is whether AI can meet the latent professional standard that lawyers use to evaluate each other’s arguments. In this case, the answer was yes.”

The meme was a response to my top-level comment on a Guardian article. I am chaffing because I am not, and will not, discuss this in terms of what House Democrats should do, I am continuing to frame this as what the Congress must do, and the meme mischaracterizes my position.
