Meditations on Pushing a Creative Project Too Far
Stan Stewart - @muz4now

It is the fight Trump had been dreaming about,
a showdown with a top political rival in a deep blue state over an issue core to his political agenda.
In bypassing the authority of Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat,
to call in the National Guard to quell protests in the Los Angeles area over his administration’s efforts to deport more migrants,
Trump is now pushing the boundaries of presidential authority and stoking criticism that he is inflaming the situation…

Trump Jumps at the Chance for a Confrontation in California Over Immigration
The situation has all the elements that the president seeks: a showdown with a top political rival in a deep blue state over an issue core to his agenda.

Yay, @… made it so :gitannex: #gitAnnex pushes the current branch first (not the git-annex or synced/* branches). This is awesome when you want to push-to-create a local repo to your @…

PSA: We had some image loading issues since yesterday on datasci.social, soon to be resolved by itself. Thx for understanding.
Reason: Due to migrating to a more stable provider: An additional cache for images was added that also stores the data in an efficient manner, but due to the large initial load some of its requests are timing out to the backend. We are increasing the timeouts, and also manually pushing data into it so it has data before the initial request.

@… I have a new #git repository on my laptop of a project I started today. What's the procedure for pushing it up to my #forgejo instance?

See, this is another problem with the chatbot bullshit. Here, an OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to 'subhuman' men saying they won't be able to find chicks no matter how much confidence they fake.
Dudes, let me tell you, this is TOTAL bullshit. I mean, if I can find a wife, ANYONE can. 😂 The incel bullshit is so sad. It's all lies, they're believing all these lies.

Trying to come up with something for Furality Somna! Of course, less than a week before it begins :neofox_think_googly:

Kalshi Pushes Sports Betting as Trump, Deregulation Boosts Prediction Market
Armed with a federal license and allies in Trumpworld, the tech start-up is pushing prediction markets across America into a legal gray zone: sports betting.

That Supreme Court ruling is sort of reminding me of Brexit! Small proportion of people pushing it, don't fully understand the implications of what they're getting, lots of people who _do_ understand the implications dismayed. Blithe refs to infrastructure that doesn't exist yet. & that clip where it dawns on the politician blokie that trans men exist, it's like that clip where that other politician blokie's just found out how many trucks arrive at Dover!

Xerox is one of the three big players in a shrinking market for print. This uncomfortable position means it is having to reinvent itself, pushing for growth through a new global business services organisation and pursuing novel revenue streams.

The latest LLM models from the major providers continue to come in a rapid fashion. And each is just better and better. Latest model from Anthropic is very fast, and with improved output from everything I have tried.
I will say that "thank goodness" for the competition where it's not only OpenAI that's pushing the tools forward. It's such a powerful arena that one player locking the market down would be super scary. Kind of crazy to think how Google was able to do…

"What comes next? Perhaps it shouldn’t be so hard to imagine, given the drift of what’s now called geoeconomics. Already, China commands global trade, and modeling from Bloomberg shows that, as constituted today, the tariffs will only add to the lead — pushing many more countries to work more with China and less with America. According to one model, 30 percent of American trading partners would fully recover from even total cessation of U.S. trade within one year; within five years, more than half would. "

Apparently, my heat tolerance is way lower than it was last summer (previously 94 F). Running 5 miles in 80 F weather today triggered a mild asthma attack (I always have my inhaler with me), and my heart rate hit 190. The high HR was probably a combination of the temperature outside, pushing too hard, and all the medications I'm on. Classic fuck around and find out 😖
I will be inside on the treadmill until it's low 70s from now on.
Looking forward to starting IgE inhibit…

This morning I null routed another dozen IP addresses for scraping my personal git server using repeated http requests. As per usual, a quick inspection reveals that at least some of them are scraping for LLM data. As always, I have not consented to this use of my non-maintained code, experiments, college coursework, and miscellaneous crap that I for whatever reason decided to self host rather than pushing it to Codeberg.
I mean, if you really want to feed your LLM on a diet that inclu…

I don’t know how I did it, but I completed Stage 4 in Resident Evil: Outbreak 😂
The virus was pushing me to the limit. I finished the chapter with 93% of the virus in my body.
I was stuck for about 10 minutes or more, just wandering around like an idiot.
But yeah, it’s done!
Cheers! ✌️

#GitHub and its pushing of Copilot it's getting really annoying. I have disabled it in the settings but in every issue i have a big prominent button labeled "Copilot Agent Mode". No GitHub I do not want the help of over-hyped #ai . If I disable a "feature" I do not want to se…
