- Comment on AI Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes Blasted on Government Office TVs 3 days ago:
“LONG LIVE THE REAL KING," said the video showing an AI-generated Musk getting his feet sucked by Trump
What reckless journalism. It would be much more accurate to say “an allegedly AI-generated Musk getting his feet sucked by Trump”.
I’ve seen no concrete proof that the video is not authentic. It’s with in the realm of possibility that Elon has two left feet.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 1 week ago:
Oddly enough, on my first development project I was paired with a “senior dev” who turned out just to be a guy in his 60s who had never actually coded before, so… just a senior.
I ended up doing 100% of the coding, but the guy managed to keep his job for a few months.

- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 weeks ago:
I think the thing that’s catching you up the most is that you’re assuming Elon has the slightest clue what he’s talking about about. In your mind, you’ve read the words “the social security database” from his post and have made assumptions about what that means.
I’ve worked with databases for 20+ years, several of those being years working on federal government systems. Each agency has dozens or possibly hundreds of databases all used for different purposes. Saying “the social security database” is so fucking general that it’s basically nonsensical. It’d be like saying “Ford’s car database”.
Elon clearly heard someone technical talking about something, them misinterpreted it for his own purposes to justify what he is doing by destroying our government institutions. His follow up of saying the government doesn’t use SQL just reinforces that point.
Trying to logically backtrack into what he actually meant - and what the primary keys should be - is just sane washing an insane statement.

- Comment on Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month 2 weeks ago:
I had a management class years ago in college where the professor made the argument that in order to be ethical, every single action a business makes must be done to increase profits for its shareholders.
Charitable donation? Only if it increases public perception in a way to be justified the cost.
Pay your employees well? Only if paying them less would cause you to lose them to your competitors.
The list goes on. It’s a very depressing way to look at the world. But as time goes by, I’ve realized just how accurate that professor was. Companies don’t give a shit about you and will turn on you the second it makes their quarterly numbers look better.

ABC News reported that Trump’s second-inauguration haul is on track to shatter the previous $107m record, as pledged contributions have already exceeded a $150m fundraising goal. Barack Obama’s inauguration raised $53m in 2009 and $42m in 2013, and Joe Biden’s raised $63m in 2021.

Kaiser isn’t a typical insurance company though. They’re an HMO. Which means they tell you what doctor you can go to. Think you need to see a specialist? Too bad, the general practitioner doesn’t think it’s necessary.
So they deny a lot of claims by preventing you from going to the right doctor in the first place.

I feel like that’s good advice for reasonably intelligent people. But it’s kind of a slippery slope, especially for people that are dumb as shit. For example, my neighbor became a hard antivaxxer during COVID.
She mistrusted everything that was actually science, assuming that she since she didn’t understand what qualified professionals were saying, they must be wrong. But if someone could make a simple (even if incredibly wrong) argument on YouTube, shed eat that shit up.
