me: "I'm going to leave in a minute."
8yo: "What?! Why??"
me: "Because you keep talking to me. Go. To. Sleep."
8yo: "I haven't been talking!"
me: "Yes, you have. You *just* asked me to google sushi restaurants in DC"

RE: #iranUSAIsraelWar #russiaUkraineWar

Last week, while debugging a SwiftUI performance issue, I was running instruments and found that my profiles were plagued with noise.
Godot while idling was using so much CPU time that it was skipping entire frames while rendering.
I set out to fix those, 0.5% here, 0.5 there, and the Godot Editor (and Xogot) no longer skip frames.
People had been complaining that Godot would burn your battery in an hour if you left it idling, it no longer does.

FWIW I'm using multiple different VPNs daily for work, for reasons that have nothing to do either age verification or anything else "illegal":
1. My main ISP's connection is brittle and causes dropped data transfers on larger files; a VPN solves this completely
2. I'm using a VPN to manage servers securely (allows me to not have open ports for SSH etc. on the public Internet)
3. When I'm out of the office, a VPN allows me to access my desktop computer, my file server and even to quickly print something.
If they wanted to establish a police state they could just say so.

What is the ultimate authority of a king?
It’s to decide whether people live or die, based on his personal preference,
and allowing no challenge to his whims.
That’s the power that Donald Trump holds right now.
The Trump regime’s war against Iran is illegal under U.S. law.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution gives Congress
– not the president
– the power to declare war.
The War Powers Act allows the president to send the milit…

We must reject White House lawbreaking in Iran, on the high seas, and in U.S. cities

Rechte wollen öffentlich-rechtliche Medien verzwergen.
Unsere haben heute in der Schweiz eine Schlappe eingefahren,
aber sie sehen sich als Sieger und machen klar, dass sie die SRG weiter angreifen und gnadenlos ihr Ziel verfolgen werden.
Das heute war der dritte Angriff in elf Jahren.
Krass.
Wenn das andere Parteien machen würden, wäre die SVP die erste, die rufen würde: Zwängerei!

Slop is not good, actually.
Literally the definition of the word slop is "content that is worthless".
It cannot be good—if it would be good, it wouldn't be worthless and then by definition it's not slop.
Now if you, for example, use LLMs to generate code that actually serves the function you want it to serve (let's say while prototyping something), it's not slop, but perhaps experimental or prototype code.
If it's something you generate for other people like for production code and it's not reviewed, then it's slop—it's worthless _even if it works_ because you don't know if it actually works and didn't take the care or responsibility required to make a work product.

Jenny O’Connell-Nowain was ready to go to jail.
She had been prepared to spend six months in the custody of the Shasta county sheriff’s office.
One of the top prosecutors in this part of far northern California had presented the evidence against her in a weeklong trial,
and a jury had delivered a guilty verdict.
A judge offered probation, but O’Connell-Nowain did not agree to the terms.
Her crime?
