Reading through a bit it sounds like it works on Linux, not on Windows. Folks are hypothesizing it’s disabled at the ACPI level because different drivers don’t help.

Exactly, just needs a little motivation.

When asked for comment about the lawsuit, a USDA spokesperson responded with a statement: “We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. Continue to hold out for the Far-Left wing of the party or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive timely WIC and SNAP allotments.”

This seems like a perfectly normal thing for an ostensibly non-partisan federal agency to say. I mean I get that it is increasingly normal these days but fuck this timeline.

Visual, he can tell the you the sperm count of any individual at twenty yards with uncanny inaccuracy.

“I declare eleventy-billion percent tariffs on China! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!”

States rights has always meant that states have the right to do exactly what republicans want them to do, nothing more.

The small price they have to pay to get NLRB complaints dropped and favorable tariff treatment, apparently.

It is astounding the rate at which companies and institutions are knuckling under. It hasn’t even been a whole year yet.

This time will be different, surely.

At this point I think it’d be more notable if they didn’t find plastics in human tissues. It seems to be everywhere including in our brains, and that’s the bad kind of plasticity to have there.

I know, right? It’s just like when people bring fleshlights to throw at NBA games because it’s a totally normal and not weird thing to do.

Or attract people who probably shouldn’t be teaching.

I’ve used cursor quite a bit recently in large part because it’s an organization wide push at my employer, so I’ve taken the opportunity to experiment.

My best analogy is that it’s like micro managing a hyper productive junior developer that somehow already “knows” how to do stuff in most languages and frameworks, but also completely lacks common sense, a concept of good practices, or a big picture view of what’s being accomplished. Which means a ton of course correction. I even had it spit out code attempting to hardcode credentials.

I can accomplish some things “faster” with it, but mostly in comparison to my professional reality: I rarely have the contiguous chunks of time I’d need to dedicate to properly ingest and do something entirely new to me. I save a significant amount of the onboarding, but lose a bunch of time navigating to a reasonable solution. Critically that navigation is more “interrupt” tolerant, and I get a lot of interrupts.

That said, this year’s crop of interns at work seem to be thin wrappers on top of LLMs and I worry about the future of critical thinking for society at large.

Leopards exfoliated my face.

The shitty part is even if people still pursue vaccines despite new obstacles, we’re definitely losing herd immunity. Seems like these measles outbreaks are just a taste of things to come. What a timeline.

Their analysis also revealed that these nonclinical variations in text, which mimic how people really communicate, are more likely to change a model’s treatment recommendations for female patients, resulting in a higher percentage of women who were erroneously advised not to seek medical care, according to human doctors.

This is not an argument for LLMs (which people are deferring to an alarming rate) but I’d call out that this seems to be a bias in humans giving medical care as well.
