Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

“Does your skull shape match your income? What, exactly, constitutes a racial slur? Why are babies so tasty, and why won’t the government let us eat them? All this and more, coming up next, on 60 Minutes.”

Quote skeeting Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

Apple will "Watch everything burn" Dan Lyke / comment 0

Mac Rumors: Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When AI Bubble Bursts - Ed Zitron

And I think that told Apple to pump the brakes. It's barely spent anything on capex. It's barely done anything with AI. Despite headline after headline claiming it's "falling behind," nobody can really explain what it is it's falling behind on or why it matters. People hate Apple Intelligence, and I think Apple knows that, and so they're going to jingle the keys for the markets by putting "AI" on stuff without ever really putting their back into it.

You know what's interesting. None of the Chinese models have hacked Hugging Face yet.

It's almost like maybe they're competent enough to keep their models contained?

irony of a no politics sign in a bike Dan Lyke / comment 0

The irony of a "no politics" sign in a bike shop.

Anyway, if anyone's got a favorite bike shop that still stocks parts for us analog bike riders, I'm open to suggestions.
