Last Notes npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1z3v…aukx some of those comments were like "hey come on, it's just a little industrial solvent, she is blowing this all out of proportion" people just begging for a boot to lick lol npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I think this kind of thing is what people find exhausting about Mastodon, and it’s why I stopped posting on Reddit a long time ago: you post some normal thing like “hey, I think xyz is neat!” and immediately like five guys pile into your mentions to tell you why you’re wrong. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa there is no question that Mastodon usage is declining. i don't think i care that much for me personally, as i basically use it as a group chat with a couple dozen friends and acquaintances. but it definitely bodes poorly for further adoption of the ActivityPub protocol. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa wait i thought Hamas were the monsters for using human shields. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/23/human-shielding-in-action-israeli-forces-strap-palestinian-man-to-jeep npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I think this goes to my theory that if OpenAI spends billions training a new model and the improvements are marginal, the hype-cycle ends and the bubble starts to deflate. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa “how is Apple supposed to find and exploit loopholes and play cute with crossing a line they know they shouldn’t cross when these dastardly EU regulators keep insisting that laws effectively do what they are intended to do, rather than just letting wealthy and powerful companies just run roughshod over the rights of their citizens???” npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa just ordered something from the Google Store and Gmail put the confirmation e-mail in my spam folder 🙃 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa all this shit is falling apart. https://www.wired.com/story/perplexity-is-a-bullshit-machine/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao this line killed me, it's always a HUGE red flag when other white dudes call me "brother" https://archive.ph/2024.06.17-212704/https://www.gq.com/story/why-is-everyone-on-steroids-now#selection-731.318-731.390 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa (answer: our legal system is not designed to hold powerful people accountable.) npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub12hc…f9al ain't no one gonna pay for that! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa probably the most important question for GenAI over the next 18mo isn't "what amazing further breakthroughs can we conjure up?" but rather "what kind of actual products can we make with existing technology?" npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Jesus Fucking Christ he is not gonna make it to November. https://x.com/mylordbebo/status/1801300025739182478?s=46 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Japan, from downtown!! https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/14/japan-passes-law-to-allow-third-party-app-stores/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1nj7…lzxh exactly. ChatGPT is just a bunch of stuff scraped from StackOverflow anyway. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa apropos of this, i guess, among many MANY other things. https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/112595913288609640 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1nj7…lzxh jfc. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i can tell you that it's going to be **very** hard to hire expert linguists in 10-15yrs. all the bottom rungs of the ladder are gone, there's no way for a junior person to build expertise while making a living. https://toot.cafe/@baldur/112597268896335477 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa new type of guy just dropped, the "so mad at inflation i bought my own espresso machine" guy. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao the closest an LLM will ever get to saying "i don't know, stop asking." npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa that's right. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa anyway, i think out of all the prominent GenAI companies, Cohere is probably the one with the clearest intent to build GenAI tools that prove useful/profitable for enterprises. so we can maybe think of it as the canary in this coal mine: if they can't figure out how to make a shitload of money off of generative artificial intelligence, boy, it may not be possible. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I am 75% sure Apple will be able to make this work better than anyone else, but because of the stochastic nature of LLMs, I bet we are still going to see some very weird and bad outcomes. this is just not why I use computers. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i have never, ever used a digital assistant, I don’t want one, and I don’t want a device that makes one a fundamental part of the UX. it’s honestly super weird to me how obsessed Silicon Valley is with building digital assistants. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa “Godzilla Minus One” is as good as everyone says it is. it’s on Netflix, go watch it! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1js2…6knl Firefox. i don’t have super strong opinions, but it seems like an OK option?? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Israel looked at the trolley problem and was like "well all those people on the tracks are Palestinians, so this is an easy one." npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa (also, fucking **nobody** is fucking **driving** to a **diner** in midtown Manhattan, has this lady ever been to New York????) npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa and so now you have the governor of New York saying this explicitly, which, cool. https://hellgatenyc.com/hochul-defends-congestion-pricing-pause-midtown-diner-drivers-new-jersey npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa something i've said for a long time is that American politicians think of cities in extractive or colonial terms: they exist as spaces for work and leisure that you **go to**, not spaces that you **live in** npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the /r/ollama subreddit is apparently un-moderated, so someone is spamming it with clips from the movie "Monkeybone," which. i was not aware of this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsGy7tveEo4 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa why is there a 48min video about this. why has it been watched 1.3 million times????? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i should go eat lunch. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao look at this brave little boy, good for you, Squirt. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i desperately want a Framework 13 laptop, but i have no reason to get a new laptop 😭 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa someone finally summarized some of the interesting stuff in that Google search algorithm leak. all hail Fireship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQhDl4a9Ko npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa seems bad! https://hai.stanford.edu/news/ai-trial-legal-models-hallucinate-1-out-6-or-more-benchmarking-queries npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa remember when OpenAI did that big splashy announcement of its generative video product then **never talked about it again**??? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa oh? what happened to GPT-5? this smacks of desperate subject-changing. they make a big announcement every time Sam is on his heels. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/technology/openai-gpt4-new-model.html npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa fyi if you ever want to try out any of the open-weight LLMs, Perplexity AI has them all up at https://labs.perplexity.ai/ and they run REALLY fast. doesn’t remember you between sessions, no login. I’m using Llama3:70b over there now instead of ChatGPT. get while there’s still VC money to burn. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa why the fuck are people still on X, my god. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa nice. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao oh ok. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/112492445214914228 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa at least we still have plenty of parking. https://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars/112496033795225194 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub12hc…f9al we are fucked. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1xt9…74x5 followed! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub17zg…9d77 $1800!!!! and it doesn't look like they are selling it anymore on their website. but yeah, i do see a lot of random stuff out there, cool! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i'm watching this one closely too. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-minimal-phone-first-e-ink-qwerty-phone/x/10057575#/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i love this kind of thing and i hope someone figures out a way to make it work commercially. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/23/24163225/daylight-dc1-tablet-livepaper npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa posting "put your balls in your butthole and pop them out one at a time to improve prostate health" on LinkedIn to save the internet 🙏 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa guys, we gotta shitpost to save the internet. https://mastodon.social/@lzg/112494197616020167 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Google's GenAI search actually believes everything it reads on the internet. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa looks like google's AI search is going great!! these "AI" products always produce hilarious results when they hit the actual public. since there's really no way to do thorough QA testing with an LLM product, every GenAI product release is in beta. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Sci-Fi movie director: In my film, I created a post-apocalyptic wasteland devoid of hope and ruled by fascist shock troopers as a cautionary tale. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is a **problem**????? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa it's funny, when i'm learning some new coding thing (doing Django right now), i can only study for a couple hours until it starts to get muddled, then i have to stop and let my brain chew it over. then the next morning, everything clicks and becomes accessible. i know this is actually how learning works in the human brain (you have to sleep to finish the learning process), but it's never been so obvious before. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa one nice thing about not being rich/powerful is i will never die in a helicopter crash. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa "doing that stuff wouldn't have been popular" oh yeah? so how did that work for him? is he popular now? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the internet is wild now. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa fuck, I don’t know if Trump is gonna make it to November. https://x.com/BidenHQ/status/1791967568137232712?t=I7GYM7gL_RslJLZqTDFMXg&s=19 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa you know a real Samantha model would be ~4 iterations away from drawing an oven with six million Jews in it. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Spike Jones: everyone should touch grass. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa there must of been so many tech bros who watched this movie in 2014 and said "that!! that's exactly what i want, and i want to give it to everyone," completely ignoring the last five minutes. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa my dad died of this. glad they are figuring it out. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-69006713 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1e29…qp5y 😂 i was just like if num > 0: npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa It’s maybe not worse than the taking of lives, but this wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure (homes, farms, schools, hospitals, universities, government buildings) seems to me like one of the most obviously cruel and criminal aspects of Israel’s genocide. https://wapo.st/4dMoFlY npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa just to be extremely clear, the struggle is against rich people, they are all bad. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa another one. https://wapo.st/3UYNYK2 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa so every time you do a post on Instagram, rather than a source of support and affirmation from a subculture, the post is a popularity gauge, a mini race for prom king/queen. 12 likes isn't a win, it's a loss, because everyone is there, and only 12 people like you. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa and i think it's an indication of how much more harmful Instagram is than other social media platforms. when you're on Reddit, or Tumblr, or Twitter, or Mastodon, and you're talking about meme or trend going around, you don't say "we" because you know you are in a community of oddballs, weirdos, and outcasts and the normie you are talking to is likely going to need an explainer. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i don't recall anything like this number of very public resignations over previous conflicts in which the US has been involved. maybe we should listen to these people. https://wapo.st/3JY4Cmy npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa just to say, it is getting easier and easier to walk away from these top-tier schools. there are plenty of good schools in the US, no need to send your kids to one that's gonna charge you $400k and then call in the cops to hit your kids with sticks for trying to make the world a better place. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa wife was talking to some co-workers last week during a retreat and apparently elite universities are charging NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR?? for tuition???? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lotta these universities are gonna have to update their websites. https://provost.unc.edu/carolina-commitment-to-academic-freedom-and-free-expression/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the US is a police state. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa "Thank you for your cooperation." npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa well well well. look at that. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa hell yeah. it's working. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/08/trinity-college-dublin-agrees-to-divest-from-israeli-firms-after-student-protest npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa put the word "fuck" in all your documents as a tell that it was definitely not written by a GenAI. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa every time i take a business management class i am just blown away by how fucking stupid this shit is. every one of their "frameworks" is a horoscope you can put anything you want into it and get out a bunch of buzzwords that can mean whatever you want. i am not exaggerating here. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa everything’s got that “summer of 2020” vibe. feels bad. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa pretty interesting that the crypto grifters have shifted to GenAI grifting. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa “what if other countries started banning US social media platforms?” they do and they should. 🤷♂️ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I have some problems with the way they went about this, but it’s **not** censorship. countries regulate foreign media ownership all the time. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa a company like TikTok could 100% undermine US democracy by tweaking an algorithm. i'm totally fine with banning it. fwiw i'd like to ban all the social media companies, but one step at a time. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the great thing about getting cold-called by an LLM telemarketer is you can mess with it until it breaks and gives you all kinds of fun confidential info. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa hey, maybe if your model has ingested all existing and available human-made data and it **still** doesn’t work, your model is wrong??? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the vibes in Fallout are great, but the show is meh. idk, just feels flat. also, I know it’s based on a violent video game, but I just don’t find slow-motion cartoonish gore that interesting. it doesn’t shock, it doesn’t do anything for the sense of danger or physicality, it’s just kind of… splat. huh. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i think the upper-middle-class NYT-reading FOMO crowd have tied themselves into knots over "screens" when the real issue isn't the actual, physical screen, it's that every single app company has turned the screen into a surveillance casino that gets you addicted to it and then spies on you. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa everything else aside, even if it worked perfectly, i cannot imagine wanting to interact with a device like this in public by talking to it. imo a **huge** reason for the popularity of screens in public is you can look down at them and instantly be in a kind of private space. why in the HELL would i want to speak e-mails aloud, into a public space??? that's psycho behavior. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is fucking hilarious. https://www.theverge.com/24126502/humane-ai-pin-review npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1pcu…axps haha yep! but it’s pretty interesting that our entire film rating system came from like one specific busy-body pastor who couldn’t handle sex. pretty classically American I guess. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this article actually perfectly encapsulates why NPR lost **my** trust, but it’s not for the reasons this guy thinks. https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub10aq…03k2 pffff, who has "brand new laptop" money???? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa is the dopamine from getting a piece of open-source software to work on a 7-year-old laptop worth the ~5hrs of pain and frustration? npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa (pst, Trump doesn't give a shit about abortion one way or another and will be fine with whatever the GOP courts or Congress decide to do while he's in power. he genuinely does not think about this stuff, ever. he's in steak/Bible/golden sneakers-selling mode on this issue, it goes right out of his head as soon as the camera is turned off.) npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the headline is that she was working as a doula during DC government time, but also SHE WAS WORKING A WHOLE SECOND FULL-TIME JOB lol https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/08/dc-public-library-hr-director-resign-doula/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is deeply upsetting and insulting. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i wonder if a big reason for that is that 404 Media does tech news **for people**. they don't interview CEOs, they talk with whistleblowers. they would have put the "AmazonFresh stores are mechanical Turks" thing in the headline ("here's what it means for you, a normal person with a job, and your normal friends who have jobs) but The Information frames it as a business story with implications for Amazon's quarterly earnings or whatever. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Israel is going to say "whoopsie, sorry" about the WCK atrocity, but it will accomplish what they set out to do, which is discourage international aid orgs from working in Gaza. it's an implicit future death threat directed at anyone who would dare extend help to the starving people of Gaza. war crime. collective punishment. ethnic cleansing.
