You can! A grease gun might be extra work compared to this, since it's designed to push it into a grease point. I have used a ton of these on the farm, and zero of them as a pilot.

@adamshostack @mattblaze @joebeone @quinn AMW does it with some stunningly competent volunteers who have professional gear. The remote participation there is the best I have seen, but it still doesn't really result in sidebar conversations with people you don't yet know and that kind of thing.

@mattblaze on the road in Canada, often CBC's mediumwave broadcast is the only thing that works. And definitely not mass produced right wing nonsense.

Software development methodologies compared.

Hier das Video direkt ohne Umweg zu TikTok:

Elon Musk thinks your kids are crash test dummies. He's set to release his robotaxis in Austin, and wants to roll them out across the country as fast as possible. That's a danger to all of us—especially kids. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Watch a Tesla with FSD ignore ...

@swizzlevixen how do you get pools to not immediately bleach the dye out of your hair?

@Viss slightly different but similar. That was an attempt by tech barons to become central bankers. This is an attempt to bring slave economics to knowledge work.

@Viss the theme here is non-performance to the point of inutility. Bots appear to perform as well as what they are replacing because we overindexed on bad measures and so non-performance is indistinguishable. In the near future I predict market success for anyone who is able to throw the whole paradigm out and start over.

@Viss my conclusion on AI for automating interactions and tasks is that if the AI can do the task as stated and measured, that task was never worth doing from the outset.

@typeswitch the desire in programmers to make code look normatively patterned and self-consonant is much greater than the desire to make its intent intuitive and clear.

@xabean fucking premillennialist political faction. This country's foreign policy is dictated by a minority of people who think Israel's sovereignty of the temple mount is required to go to heaven, and a tiny minority of families with a permanent grudge against Cuba. It is worse than having the swing vote go to francophone Quebecois.

It’s driving me up the walls how people are constantly impressed by LLMs predicting human speech reliably in the aggregate.

It shows a fundamental lack of understanding.

You have a non-deterministic process (don’t get philosophical on me here, just don’t) and build a statical model of it with a gigantic sample size, of course it’s going to be accurate on average.

That’s a mathematical necessity. It would be very weird it didn’t work like that.

Look at this data broker grabbing data from your phone and maybe also your car or car parts, and then using it to snitch on you to the cops. It can apparently tell if you are texting, too.

@nuintari to start with, he may not even identify with one of the classes this administration chooses to victimize, as with a lot of citizens by birth who aren't white. Also, he would like to oppress you and me. The oppression is not just about race; they would also require you to adhere to their definition of whiteness and gender, and their faith.

Personally I would treat him like any other non-rich trumpist.

I have a bit of a theory that people working in InfoSec feel like their job is... kind of fake. Or at least, that it exists more to fulfill a performance than to actually make things secure.

So I made a short (10-minute) anonymous survey to explore how people in InfoSec/Cyber Security feel about the work they do...

If you work in security (or around it), I’d love for you to take it—and if you shared it with others!

Take it. Share it. Vent if you need to. :elmo_fire:

@aphyr would love to ask this person what they use instead.

It would be really nice to have something to be excited about. I am tired of sitting here being exhausted by announcements about financialized blockchains, new AI pushes, bad immigration policy, foreign wars, and privatization.

The rocket blowing up on the launchpad made me feel a small sense of justice; it would be nice to have a space launch I could cheer for.

Hmph, I need at least one letter of recommendation from a professor from one of my previous degrees. I have graduated from university 4 times. Emailed several profs, and not one reply, even in the negative. What do?
