    Reminder: There's currently (well, on pause while it moves publications) an official Lucky Star sequel manga, and it's called subtitled "Konata's Thirties," as that's the amount of time that's passed. The manga-ka knows that it's EMOTIONAL DAMAGE:

    Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.

    They're doing the thing they've done in Canada for like a year already: letting you pick a bottle of water instead of a soda. It's still only a buck fifty.

    Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

    There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:

    [Interior, FBI Crime Lab, Scully & Mulder look over The Grinch's corpse in the autopsy room]

    Scully: Odd, his heart appears to have been 3 sizes larger than normal, but there's stretch marks on his aorta, as if it grew suddenly. What could've done this?

    Mulder: Not what, who. Cindy Lou Who.

    Sad that Costco *has to do this*, but cool that Costco is the kind of company that cares about the majority of it's membership such that *they're openly doing this*, despite it probably making some scalper dweebs incredibly pissy. This is $1.50 hot dog & soda (+ refill) thinking applied writ large.

    At a glance, it's clearly an open-source object ID DNN piping its output to an open-source LLM for summary, all served up via some kind of React or Vue SPA: a combo that a neat undergrad CS project might entail, yet is displayed at CES. This should remind everyone how much CES is repackaged junk.

    & it's been that way:
    “During the Vietnam War... every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”
