Bob’s Guns is an excellent track by Ludique.

You’ve annotated all three vertices, yes, but what are your three sides?


Is there a transcript?


I don’t think I’m quite ready to join prolewiki yet. I have a lot going on irl right now. Maybe soon.


Do you recommend any courses, books, or projects to help people learn design? Especially web and UI design
I downvoted for both lol. Provide evidence


average shit just works user


I want to dispel a myth here. There is generally no advantage for trans women in almost all sports. If you know trans women you know that almost all of us are not athletic at all. And those of us that are have a significantly lower VO2 max than cis women athletes. When trans women are allowed to compete as women we do not see an unusually high win rate and we usually lose. Trans women were mostly allowed to compete in the Olympics for a while and have never won a medal. The whole notion that trans women have a biological advantage in sports is nothing but absurdity and transmisogyny and does not have any basis in reality. And even if we do win, or even do better than last place, people act as if the sky is falling. It is not the end of the world if a woman wins because she had a biological advantage in the biological advantage measuring contests.


Luckily there is an easy way to find out if the situation is getting better or worse.



Because of the low rent and easy access to housing in New York City, maybe I should move there with my $40,000/year self-employed job.


Movies aren’t the same as reality, you know.


I don’t think it makes sense to determine what is or isn’t political by measuring the amount of politicality either. What makes something political is that some people say it’s political. And since I’m a person and I say that everything on Earth is political, that makes it so. QED.


Is the amount of politics something has supposed to be measurable somehow? If something is relevant to politics or has a political aspect it’s not inaccurate to describe it as political.


If everything is political then surely that’s a product of the political times we live in. When you’re trans like I am, politics isn’t something you can choose to engage with or not. Politics is something that people use to hurt you. And while I certainly envy those who think they can opt out of politics somehow, we live on a planet with a rapidly changing climate and an ongoing mass extinction event. Politics is going to come for you too, whether you refuse to see it or not, and the time it does may not be so far away.
That’s not to say that the “political lens” through which I see the world takes away the other meanings of things. The things I interact with in the world have other meanings and other aspects too, and in a lot of cases the political aspect is not the most important one. But the political aspects of things and the relations involving things are pervasive and important to fully understanding the world, so it is fairly accurate to say that everything on Earth at least is political in some way. Even your denial of the political aspects of things is part of this, as it’s part of your privilege to ignore politics.
Sent from my apartment where I pay the rent to a landlord, on a phone made using global supply chains, on a proprietary operating system based on open-source APIs and code.


I just don’t see the issue with a lot of things being political. I don’t think it diminishes the meaning of the word and it matches the way the word is commonly used.


I mean at this point you’re just making my argument for me. my point in the first place was that most things are political and you’re asking me to give a counterexample. if you believe that most things aren’t political come up with the counterexample yourself.


Not among foods at least.
I would say that you should not count on AI to write security critical code. This is pretty likely to result in vulnerabilities. AI often has oversights. At the very least you need to learn what common practices are considered secure and work towards putting them into practice. AI can help you do this with code examples, but you should try to limit this to things that the AI can prove to work correctly by running them. And especially do not try to roll your own cryptography.
We already have a tool for doing very common tasks in programming like authentication - they are called libraries and are at least an order of magnitude more reliable than what you get from AI. AI has its place too, but it’s not useful for everything and can be especially harmful in certain situations like security critical code where you absolutely need the code to have certain properties that the AI cannot reason about.
