I offer absurdist edits of absurdist Heathcliff comics, make food, post political memes.

Sadly, just five. But more than Google.

It should be mentioned that DDG lets you permanently block up to five domains so you never have to see Pinterest clog your results again. And from any search results you can remove a domain from those results. This way if some AI slop domain is clogging the results you can quickly filter it out.

The RAM situation is causing shrinkflaition. The article describes situations where new models will have less RAM than old ones but also cost more.

Clearly the solution is to teach AI to use the API.


I started listening to Rush Limbaugh back in 92. I have always found it useful to listen to the biggest name on the conservative side so I can know what arguments are being used. Know thy enemy and all that.
Back in the day it meant tuning in at a specific time for three hours. Now we have the benefits of podcasts you can listen to whenever you want and at 2.5x speed so an hour takes 24 minutes.
I have listened to Ben for a long time. I’ve seen his attitude on Trump change. He knows that Trump has no political philosophical foundation. He knows that ethically he is just like Andrew Tate, a guy he tried to say nice things about once and failed. He used to do a segment called Good Trump Bad Trump where he would find something he agreed with Trump on and something where Trump was an idiot.
Then he stopped. Then he started fundraising for Trump. He found it harder and harder to find something negative to say about a guy he clearly loathes from an ethical base. He can still be extremely critical of the tariffs issue but on every other topic he will dance around any negative he might have.
And dancing is what he is good at. His ability to make sure he always misrepresents his opponents is amazing. Turn on any of the great dystopian radio speeches from movies or TV and he sounds exactly like them in his words. Except he has a higher pitched voice that’s never going to get him a job in Hollywood.
And he so desperately wants to be Hollywood. He is spending a lot of time and money trying to make his own TV and movie production company. He has the script movies like Run Hide Fight. The epics like whatever his king Arthur thing was, to kids programming.
And all of it starts with hammering Christian values first and then building a story around it. Even though he isn’t Christian and is constantly putting him self in danger by doing business with the dumbest and most anti-semitic people out there like Candace Owens. Because he believes that the enemy of your enemy is a potential profit center. He doesn’t realize he is feeding his enemies that will destroy him because he always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.
I keep thinking I need to find a co-host and do a Know Rogan or Knowledge Fight version of Ben Shapiro. Because even at 2.5x speed I can dismantle his positions and know where he used to be on topics.
Looks like I need to boot up my laptop and open a telnet session.

A non-paywall article that offers some depth. I noticed a lot other articles focused on his Human Genome Project role but didn’t mention his creating synthetic life.


What an unfortunate thing to happen on free eggs night.
I can tell you that the show has definitely gotten worse. I listen every day and while in the past his shows were master lessons in spin and half truths lately they have become increasingly dumb on multiple levels. If it’s not making every excuse possible for Trump it’s new content like his staff plays some classical music from a movie score and he guesses what it is. There are whole episodes of that in the last six months. And his Oscar coverage did not just exist (which it shouldn’t have) but each and every time it was part of an ad for betting app prediction markets. The value of the show, as small as it was before, is crashing rapidly.


Missing the link would definitely prevent one from following it. Lol
I didn’t worry about the legitimacy much because ars tech is pretty good about those things I knew there had to be a link in there somewhere. It was easy to miss so I don’t fault you


Did you follow the link in the article to the NEJM report?

“The firings will continue until morale improves.”
I found one of his books when I was working at a library back in the late 20th century. It was amazing. And with absolutely zero formal training I could easily spot that some of it was complete BS. But there was enough truth in what was there to still keep it amazing.
If you are familiar with Tim Minchin’s song Confessions you are aware of his work because parts of it are straight from Desmond’s books.


You start by using his name. People that respond positively to Dump or any other nickname are already on your side. So you are preaching to the choir. You need to convince people who support him to make anything other than a feel good effort. To do that you gotta use his name or they will instantly dismiss you.

Article doesn’t mention Usenet or NNTP even once. Saved you a click.


Kushner is his own agent. And sometimes Trump’s agent. If it benefits Israel that is incidental.
