What if my Senator is Schumer? How do I politely tell him to retire already?

Dear Chuckles,

We have decided it is time for you to make way for more capable leadership.

Sincerely,

the Bailey family

No, you don’t understand. Hakeem Jeffries already made plans with Jared Kushner to move forward together so the nation can heal.

The policy change is “If schools don’t allow google slop, they can’t use google search.”

Hopefully it just means that schools use duckduckgo and avoid google search, too. Blocking google (the world’s largest advertising corporation) should be the default policy of all schools, especially public schools.

Last I heard the case was dismissed because his sister refused to submit to a psychiatric evaluation.

In dismissing Annie Altman’s lawsuit, US District Judge ​Zachary Bluestone wrote that she had refused to appear for ​an independent medical examination despite warnings that failure to do ⁠so would result in the case’s dismissal.

“independent medical examination” in this context means independent of the subject, not neutral or impartial.

It seems an obvious ruse to depict her as crazy so that she either submits to being labeled crazy and the case is thrown out or refuses to be labeled crazy and the case is thrown out.

It’s not as though a psychiatric evaluation can substantiate her claims, only discredit them.

Sam Altman, long the face of the generative AI boom in San Francisco and around the world as the chief executive of multibillion-dollar software startup OpenAI, was pushed out by the company’s board of directors Friday. In a statement, the company said “The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

The company’s announcement said the decision came after a review by the board “which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”

They re-hired him afterward because apparently OpenAI can only keep up appearances when helmed by a chronic liar.

I’ll just say it’s an obituary and be confident that I won’t need to say more.

I understand that in many of the most popular subreddits (if not site-wide) mentioning Lemmy is forbidden or rewarded with a ban.

Ticketmaster remains a notable holdout in that respect.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I could add a thumbnail to the article but apparently I don’t fully grasp Lemmy’s UI yet.

Recompilations are excellent.

The slop-based recompilations are worse than useless because:

1. They discourage humans from making recompilations based on the hard work of understanding the target software, since “There is already a recompilation.”

2. Slop recompilations “authors” typically don’t understand the target software well enough to implement the typical 10% of functionality the LLM fails to furnish.

3. The LLM generates such unreadable code that not even god could debug it. So it might as well be a binary itself.

Ending the public API also prevents reddit users from deleting their post history without manually removing each post.

If you want to scrub your post history and prevent reddit from profiting from your input, use Power Delete Suite while you still can.

It is unlikely that reddit allows users to delete their content from the backend but this at least keeps your posts out of search results, which is a large part of their value.
