Senator Kennedy wants to do some duck hunting back home, eh? Well, he is a Republican Senator, and therefore we subjects must hip to it!

I don't doubt that is certainly a motivator, but I also don't disagree that a formal study on the effects of flooding corn fields en-masse is in order.

If I put corn in a pond to hunt waterfowl, I go to jail.

If I put pond in the corn, I can charge $10k+/yr to hunt my personal duck park.


Surprisingly decent blog post, at least superficially.

But for anything of any complexity, I need to specify a lot of detail to get good code, and sometimes, even then, I don't get usable, correct F#.

The author almost completely fails to follow up on the implications of this, which are of course something like: LLMs will never be creative. Only when they've ingested a huge amount of human-generated code/text/proofs/etc will they be able to surprise anyone with output that seems creative to all of the user population.


The headline at least smears responsibility out over "America". It's pretty clear this is RFJ doing things by executive fiat. Why are news media fudging on assigning responsibility?

Doesn't Monero have a strange,cryptic origin?

I don't think there's a bot problem, but I do think there's a few voting rings.

The voting I don't mind, but the comments, they reek AI-slop, all the top ones, almost always on all AI model posts.

Agree. This started in the 90s. Except for some technical instances (queueing theory for one), "utilize" is a mark of trying to sound smart. It's a propaganda word.

This is analogous to the "freedom of speech on campus" moral panics of a few years ago. Wikipedia isn't under the thumb of an oligarch, so use the language of free speech in bad faith to whip up a general willingness to destroy it.

Same sort of coincidence happened to Denver Post after Rocky Mountain News folded. It's just bizarre how often a surviving paper makes a hard right.

This one is good, actually, a natural experiment, as economists say. We get to see if billionaires leaving a state or municipality cause financial problems, or if there are unforseen consequences, like NYC's congestion taxes.

Good luck convincing them to come back if your experiment fails.

BBC should start creating which Trump admin person is saying things, since it seems like they're mostly free lancing.

This one is Marco Rubio.
