I'll trust Microsoft's AI with anything even slightly nuanced just as soon as Excel stops telling me the glass is January 2nd full.

With R's flying flags upside down, finally Dems can reclaim the flag for their own. Sort of a capture the flag in the game of memetic warfare.

Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says WELL ACKTUALLY??

I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now

A fun thing about long threads is that while you're still typing them in people jump in to the middle to complain about you leaving out the stuff you're currently typing.

And then when you're done people explain your thread back to you.

What I find really funny about the whole “trad wifes” thing is that these famous women that portray it on social media are literally working women, their job is to portray this image, that’s how they get paid. And also… I feel it’s underplayed… this is sort of a fetish thing they’re doing. And I don’t mind that. But then it’s so weird for me to see folks taking it seriously. These women are playing a role for an audience (quite specific audience often) to get paid.

Looking for an outlet to place my more #tech-focused (and thus less #tax or strictly #law) policy writing -- anyone know of an outlet that might be amenable to a freelance contributor?

DMs are open, I'm a weekly columnist at Bloomberg Tax, contributor to Forbes Money, among some others. Looking for a tech publication that wouldn't mine hearing a tax/tech attorney and prof opine on things like the currently being contemplated #FCC AI rules, etc.

I was looking for a project that would let me manage my Mastodon follows & followers better. Haven't found anything but did come across Mastodon+Steampipe. If you know of something, @ me

Anyone using Mastodon + Steampipe? Steampipe is an open-source zero-ETL engine to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL
https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/mastodon

It has many different "recipes" to see the data on your instance/Mastodon account. https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/mastodon/tables

Users &Admins can create access token and use it

Wow, people really don't like iTerm2 adding an optional AI integration which requires you to enter your OpenAI key to use, calling it "no longer fit for purpose", etc.

Someone pointed out that this feature is optional and not only has to be enabled, but it requires you to enter a key to use. That user was, apparently, reported on gitlab and is now blocked.

https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470

It reminds me a bit of how some people don't like "algorithms", as in https://x.com/danluu/status/983466330320965632.

@danluu It reminds me of the same thing that happened to Jetbrains just recently, where backlash forced them to unbundle their homegrown LLM assistant from their IDEs, which was also off by default (especially as it requires a separate subscription).

I'm not into the idea of cramming LLMs into everything myself, but the tone of this discourse, the way it's clearly fear-driven, and the way it operates of a low understanding of the subject matter is reminiscent of the current anti-science movement. If I blur out the actual content, some of these comments read like software anti-vaxxers.

I think crypto broke people’s brains. There was a clearly useless technology being hyped by pundits, VCs and tech companies which turned out as worthless as we all thought.

So there’s now a gut reaction to treating any hyped technology as a scam. The trend is similar to how after the dotcom crash, pundits proclaimed every year that we were in a bubble for almost two decades while big tech started generating hundreds of billions in revenue.

AI is the same. It’s hyped but there’s also substance.

E-bikes are very cool and I'm glad they are getting popular.

However.

There is a big difference between a crash at 12mph and one at 20mph.

Your ebike can give you injuries normally only found in motorcycle accidents. And there isn't enough advice on what constitutes sufficient maintenance for ebikes.

If you don't get balding tires fixed on a regular bike you could fall off and bruise or break a leg.

At ebike speeds that same fall will shatter your leg in dozens of pieces.

BE CAREFUL

This is important.

“The IRS finally acknowledged this month what Stanford’s Institute for Economic Policy research uncovered in 2023: Racial disparities in taxpayer audit rates have negatively affected Black taxpayers.

The IRS has committed to reevaluating the mechanisms that caused the disparity and refining their compliance approaches—but tweaking the dials on the algorithm is insufficient.”

It’s interesting to see different cultural norms evolving around AI and deepfakes. In the US, we are constantly reading about how deepfakes are a threat to democracy while in India politicians use them for everything from making candidates multilingual to composing campaign songs

The use of AI in elections reminds me of social media and elections. There are positive stories that counter the negative ones and vice versa. Social media gave us AOC but it also gave us Trump
