Just one day it just spews "All sinners born in the year of Pig will be forgiven once you're uphevealed from the ground" and boom

#

OK see I view religion as sacred

#

Therefore it's super unfair to call one religion bullshit (except for cults)

ocean vigil
#

that's not what I said at all

charred fulcrum
#

That applies to all that exists

#

as long as religions existed there were ways to take advantage of people by testing their faithfulness

this is just obvious progression in that as grumpy said

yeah which is.....

waiting to see if liberals get a majority or minority, i still feel anxious about how the country's future will go, the fact that people actually made it so pierre actually posed a threat is concerning. In the past, the NDP had won a lot more ridings, but it feels like from now on everyone who used to vote NDP has to strategically vote liberal to avoid cons getting in. Essentially going to feel like the US system if it keeps going like this

hoary charm
#

the fact that people actually made it so pierre actually posed a threat is concerning
honestly wouldnt be too concerned

#

just about every western incumbent has lost

#

so the fact that you're about to go against that is a good thing

half heath
#

Its just how the conversations had went this election cycle that makes me feel like by the next election a lot of BS misinfo and propaganda are going to become entrenched into some of these ridings that are so passionately conservative. Im just feeling like we are gonna follow how the US has become. I mean idk if there are bots but there were seriously people who want to be the 51st state in those ridings.

lime spire
#

A lot of misinfo and propaganda has already become entrenched unfortunately

half heath
#

yea and if that keeps going it makes my stomach turn

#

gotta hope that trump's declining popularity helps liberal governments get a boost rn lol

half heath
#

its been a great boost ngl

#

made a lot of ppl wake up this election

#

Its not fully settled yet but Quebecers did really good this cycle cause they chose liberals over the bloc strategically

#

but ontario results is the most disappointing thing ive seen except the urban core

#

advanced polls still not counted but damn...

image.png
#

I think we need a majority because the cons will most likely not allow the liberals to do anything that would make them look competent similar to how repubs block the dems in US

#

one of the analyst is saying the votes are being counted slower than usual... could just be the higher amount this election

Met White House Press Secretary @PressSec KarolineLeavitt —wow, she’s as real in person as on TV! Pure joy to be around, and the best convos happen off-camera. 😉 Huge thanks for the invite and her knack for cutting through the 24/7 media noise with straight-up facts. I am not a echo chamber type of girl, so I know my followers listened closely because they have been asking about alternative messaging. You got your answer because I have your back and asked.

Mind-blowing. Grassroots in the White House? Absolute game-changer! This reminds me of Trump’s 45 presidency—same energy, fresh twist. Thrilled to be back in the game…

the messaging since getting elected is very similar to dems after trump first term. A lot of reaching across the table and trying to "unite" and work together.

And if you don't think that we take advantage of him calling the prime minister and getting that deal done, you don't understand who's the president. He's the closer. He gets deals done that we could never get done, because he understands business, he understands deals. And that's why we're here today."

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Spotify employing the scummiest tactics possible to not pay artists??? Inconceivable!

ruby helm
#

There is pushback from artists when they try to reduce the payout, so instead they go the gaslighting route of:

"Our revenue shares are higher than ever increasing 10% in total compensation compared to last year! It seems your artist just isn't that popular relative to other artists and that is why your streaming revenues have fallen this year."

#

Meanwhile the revenues are going to these spotify "internal artists"

#

The level of hate a lot of their civilians have for the other is pretty sick. Like you could make historical arguments but generations have passed and the prejudices still exist in both countries.

blazing depot
#

I mean, generations passing doesn't mean much there. This 100% is a post-colonialism issue caused by said colonialism

half heath
#

I was more referring to the straight up hate not the politics of it. Like both states have a lot of social conditioning that has even children talking about war as if it's a source of pride to kill the other. Like the extreme nationalism during all this is off putting.

I'm honestly so confused why Pakistan would raise the issue again at this point if it was really a state sponsored attack.

#

It's hard to even verify if it was but Indian intelligence insists it is

blazing depot
#

Indian intelligence on this is about as trustworthy as Putin talking about Ukraine

#

Both sides there are just full of shit

#

Luckily India is busy preventing China from doing a stuipid at their borders, so a real war ain't happening

marsh oracle
half heath
#

exactly my thoughts, because without independently confirming it, the reaction seems so overblown

#

I was looking into it a bit tho, last time they had an issue it was because of India stripping that regions pseudo autonomous status. This time I'm not sure what could trigger an attack from Pakistan.

#

the separation/partition only happened around 1947, and the forced migrations, violence, etc. and resulting deaths that were upwards of a million or more kept going until mid 50's at least, and has been ongoing since.

#

there are definitely people who are still alive who remember, or at least remember hearing vivid details from their parents.

#

and the lingering effects never really disappeared

#

now both sides have nukes, decently advanced air force, etc.

half heath
#

I hear you and this might not be the best comparison but you look at Germany and Poland. Both also have recent bloody history. I don't believe aside from neo nazis that germans and polish want to fight the other over idealogical differences.

eager parrot
#

Polish have a much bigger axe to grind with Russia, and they most certainly do want to fight them over many things...

#

but then again, I am not sure European wars and relations are the best comparison to British India Partition consequences

it certainly doesn't help that India is currently run by a Hindu supremacist party

#

and that's not including car rental

#

So Connor

#

62 USD with car for 400km

hoary charm
#

doesnt the train cost like 20 cents over there

charred fulcrum
#

vs 73USD without car for 173km

charred fulcrum
#

Cause our itinerary covered everything that's within Kawaguchiko

hoary charm
#

what do you mean not feasible

#

its japan

#

they have trains for literally everything dont they

charred fulcrum
#

You're thinking speed trains, when we planned this there's not like a minute metro for places we want to go

#

Remember Kawaguchiko isn't as developed as, say Shinjuku

#

We planned this months in advance

#

For Fuji trip, car made the most sense

hoary charm
#

imagine having pt

#

couldnt be me

charred fulcrum
#

hey wait I have that too

charred fulcrum
#

So yeah Connor based on that quantifier alone you already know that our living costs are ....very cheap

hoary charm
#

yeah but thats just how the world works

#

an american on median gdp salary will find nz cheap. i would find malaysia on my salary cheap

#

and so on

charred fulcrum
#

Funny enough

#

That doesn't apply on most electronic stuff you might already use

#

So people can say "bro get a Macbook Air right now for work, it's dirt cheap" no it's fucking not

Singapore still has space to build anything? CLe_MonkaThink

dusky rapids
#

yeah

#

there's still... some space

unborn echo
#

there's always space above, just build vertically

singapore yearns for skyblock

#

SIA and scoot gonna move there once its done

dusky rapids
#

makes no sense to build houses and industrial stuff there anyway

#

so still actually quite a fair bit of space to build more stuff 📈

Why pay 5k for a bot when you can pay a code monkey minimum wage

hoary charm
#

ai can probably already do better than the level of quality you get out of a minimum wage code monkey

This better have an undo function

also saying near her mansion and then saying 0.3 miles away is a bit weird

entrance reminds me of the viñedo yates mansion i guess

#

It's half a kilometers, whoch one might be able to walk in like 6 minutes?

blazing depot
#

That's exactly the same as saying dumb shit like "dead body found in New York """"near"""" approximately a million people who live in that . miles radius which includes THESE famous people"

#

Clickbaaaaaaaaait.

fossil basin
#

It is like 6 minutes of walk

#

And it's not quite approximate to millions of people in New York

#

Unless americans do not walk, it should be near

#

And only 224 people total per 2023 data reside in the district of Watch Hill, which is the mansion's district

#

Not exactly a lot of people

"Families of 72 of the victims from the Jeju Air crash on December 29 said they were initiating the legal action against officials including transport minister Park Sang-woo alleging negligence in managing safety risks as well as violations of the Aviation Safety Act..."
"...The statement released by lawyers of the bereaved families said a more thorough investigation was needed on the decision to attempt a return to land immediately after a bird strike, on the maintenance of the aircraft's engine, and on whether the construction of a runway embankment was appropriate."

#

This would somehow mark the 1st official action taken since the crash date

Introducing Codex

Introducing Codex: a cloud-based software engineering agent that can work on many tasks in parallel, powered by codex-1. With Codex, developers can simultaneously deploy multiple agents to independently handle coding tasks such as writing features, answering questions about your codebase, fixing bugs, and proposing pull requests for review.

#

considering o3 is pretty expensive and still not the best available, this is probably gonna be pretty steep

marsh oracle
#

Gonna be away from home for the weekend so cant try it dejj

hoary charm
#

its only on pro/teams/enterprise rn

marsh oracle
#

Ah of course

#

Software dev is dead (for real for real this time)

hoary charm
#

hmm codex mini is in the api pricing page

#

$1.50 per 1m input vs o4-mini $1.10

#

not as bad as i expected

#

probably means codex full, if it hits the api, would be around $15 per 1m

marsh oracle
#

Dont reasoning models munch more tokens?

hoary charm
#

yeah but codex is just a finetune of o3 and o4-mini

#

so reasoning being compared to reasoning

marsh oracle
#

Oh right o4 mini is reasoning

#

As opposed to 4o which isnt

#

Cant believe they havent fixed their naming yet lmao

hoary charm
#

i think they said they're gonna unify gpt and o series with gpt5

#

but thats probably a while away yet

marsh oracle
#

Looking forward to the primeagen trying it out

In other important news

I wouldve posted him threatening bruce springsteen but i think this taylor one fits the friday spirit more

hoary charm
#

not bad for a finetune but definitely expected something more

#

really hoping anthropic nails whatever they’re supposedly dropping soon

#

3.8 or if they’re going for 4

marsh oracle
#

Have they ever publicly shown what these tasks look like?

#

I guess that would require them to show part of their code base

hoary charm
#

not this benchmark I don’t think. For o3/o4mini they showed a forked benchmark from somewhere else that they modified
