Most autistic people, despite everything, actually like being autistic.

Not all, of course. But most of us.
And I don’t just mean ‘making peace with it’.

I mean: it's bound up with who we are.

multiple people now have said that the thing they like about LLMs is that they don't have to deal with feeling embarrassed or humiliated by bringing questions to others that the others will judge them for.

this is a classic "solving a people problem with tech and having horrible side effects as a result" situation

and perhaps y'all ought to be less fucking toxic and judgemental to your coworkers.

fuck.

I don't want to dunk on the specific person who wrote the "how I used Claude to file my taxes" blog post that just came across my desk. I just want to note that having an LLM do your taxes seems to me like an extremely bad idea

Since I know almost nothing about Ruby, I'll ask the fedi hivemind for tips...

If I want to start up a Ruby REPL and import 'net/http' so that I can try one request using the latest version of the Gem, what steps should I follow? In Python I'd create a virtualenv and then use 'pip install' to install the package I want - so I assume something similar exists for Ruby. Bonus points if I can do the same thing but intentionally use an older (specific) version of the Gem.

"There are already federal laws that ban armed federal agents at polling stations. But since Trump owns federal law enforcement, that doesn’t matter. What this model does is recommend states pass their own laws which follow the language of those federal laws as closely as possible. When state and federal law come into conflict, federal law is supreme. But only when the federal government is acting in a constitutional and lawful capacity. Since these new state laws would only be outlawing what is already against federal law they are only outlawing actions which by definition cannot be lawful."

hi yall. i'm looking for work. writing things like this has been a severely career-limiting move, but i am as sharp as ever, and very good at what i do.

i know the industry cannot stay this way, but if you want to toss my CV over to HR, it would help a lot in the meanwhile.

Internet advertising is going great.

I hear Spotify is the new hotness, let's see if they will take our money:

Ad name: DNA Lounge Bruno Mars Party
Your ad wasn't approved for the following reasons:
Reason: Your ad contains only music.
Recommendation: Submit a new ad with a clear voiceover that explains what's being advertised.

Do you want TikTok AI Voice? Because this is how you get TikTok AI Voice.

It's the same as AI "authors" and "artists". They don't want to make things. They want a get rich quick scheme, or the cachet of being an author or being an artist without actually ever having done anything. The hyperrealistic version of the Foucauldian author-function. Utterly horrific

Did you know your distro carries a computer #art gallery?
It's called Xscreensaver. 30 years old and still getting updates.

A nerdy mix of simulations, interactivity and scene demos. All brilliant art.

Thank you @jwz for delighting this hacker again!

I came for the galaxy simulator, and stayed for Substrate. As always, for my 2 decades of Linux. I'll have to turn Substrate into a poster.

Touchscreen typing having also been retroactively devolved into the worst input method ever with degraded autocomplete doesn’t help either. Those blow-suck accessibility straw interfaces probably have a higher accuracy rate at this point than the iOS keyboard.
