An announcement: Many of you may know that I am in a long-distance relationship. My fiancée @… has recently made some serious progress in searching for a house where the both of us can live, so it's looking more and more likely that I will be leaving New Hampshire to go live with her soon. For this reason, I'd like to announce that I won't be running for reelection in 2026. There are 2 candidates that I know of who have expressed interest in filling my seat for me after I leave: Tom Brennan and Jason Quinno. Either of them would be strong progressives who align with my values, so I encourage any constituents to vote for either of them in the contested primary this September.

La situación actual de la IA-G es que necesitan hacer dinero como sea. Montañas de dinero. Así que su única solución es meter la IA en absolutamente todas partes para generar una dependencia de ella y que esa dependencia les proporcione todo ese dinero que han invertido y ven que no van a poder recuperar de ninguna otra forma.
Por eso estšn metiendo esa basura en todas partes. Estšn desesperados por que les compremos su loro estocšstico.

Yesterday I explained my mixed feelings regarding LLMs to a friend by comparing them to cars ("I don't like cars, they destroy a lot, but they are also so very convenient"). Today I read the same argument here: https://aphyr.com/posts/420-the-future
I know mastodon is filling up with linux tinkerers , but I'm joining the 'I love Linux quire'. Bought a macbook air from 2015 just to play with. Put Pop_OS! on it and tinkered a bit to get wifi working. Now it starts faster than my new work computer (filled up with #microslop). So the old Apple guy run laps around the HP from 2025. Cosmic is great on a low specs laptop.
General query: are you anticipating the return of 1974 gas lines and perhaps even/odd gasoline filling days?
(I am.)
By-the-way, when that was happening I would go fill my car at midnight - a time when it was ambiguous whether the day was an even one or an odd one.
Daughter dropped the grand-dog off for his 8 day stay while she's away. But now I'm feeling a touch guilty because we're getting ready to go out to lunch - without him!

I would love it if we all took note of (and remembered) the following: the guy everyone knows is a sociopathic, purely self-interested, unrepentantly gleeful liar who is also visibly going through serious mental decline makes a long and incoherent speech without any indication that much of what he said is true in even the most cursory sense and traders say "yeah, good enough." Entrusting society's material future to the stock market is rational, ennit?
