Republicans Are Fooling Democrats on Kids’ Online Safety.
When one side is suspiciously quiet or supportive about legislation that's against their publicly stated goals, it's because they secretly want it too.

I know that experimental fashion can be dumb but this is cool as fuck.

I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now

I think jumping straight to calling Spez a Nazi is ridiculous.
On the other hand, Reddit has repeatedly aggressively looked the other way when it came to communities that blatantly violated the rules such as The Donald, jailbait, etc, while cracking down on and banning far milder users and communities.

Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica

I was kind of with you until saying they're "being a fucking idiot."
Encouraging someone to help out? Great.
Browbeating someone for voicing the viewpoint or experience a lot of users are facing? We can do better than that.

Black Mirror creator unafraid of AI because it’s “boring”

The best ones can literally write pretty good code, and explain any concept on the Internet to you that you ask them to. If you don't understand a specific thing about their explanation, they can add onto their explanation, and they can respond in the style you want (explain as if I'm ten, explain as if I'm an undergrad, etc).
I use it literally every day for work in a somewhat niche field. I don't really agree that it's a "parlor trick".

'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture

Sure, in the short term. I've switched to DDG and I'm not getting another Pixel when I need a new phone, and hoards of tech savvy people are feeling the same way. Dissatisfaction is causing them to lose customers and talent.
Eventually, they'll start feeling it in their bottom line. And by then it might be too late to change course.

It's not about spite. It's about not wanting your past work and creativity to continue to help an individual and a company who are bad for society, and who are destroying a platform many people loved.

The IRS Is Using AI to Target the Ultra-Wealthy for Tax Violations

Old-school AI systems from way back in the day called Expert Systems were just a crapload of IF statements. There's never been a concrete agreed-upon definition of AI because there's never been an agreed-upon definition of the word Intelligence.

Fascinating that people with stutters can be helped by practicing speaking with speech jammers.
It makes me think about how ADHD medication will make people without ADHD more distractible while it'll help focus people with it.

Trudeau says feds aren't primarily responsible for housing, but how responsible are they? | CBC News
Canadian government at all levels is failing Canadians when it comes to housing.
It's a crisis and I honestly don't know what the solution is.

Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau announce separation
I heard rumors a few years ago that they were already separated. Weird that they're supposedly going on a family vacation right after announcing that they're separating.

First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia
Reply in thread
It looks like it!
Looks like the only completed Gen 3 nuclear reactors are in Asia, at Kashiwazaki (Japan), Kori (South Korea), Yangjiang, Fangchenggang, Tianwan (China), and Kudankulam (India).
Edit: I missed the Gen III+ part of that Wikipedia page. The other currently operation or under construction Gen 3+ reactors are in Sanmen, Shidao Bay, Taishan (China), Novovoronezh II, Leningrad II, Kursk (Russia), Akkuyu (Turkey), Rooppur (Bangladesh).
