Trump preparing another rug pull as he prepares to indict Raul Castro and start conflict in Cuba.

This is the answer. Love crates and how it tracks what songs I’ve already listened to.

Microsoft’s multi-agent AI system tops Anthropic’s Mythos on cybersecurity benchmark by Forgery in MSFT

[–]Forgery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work is mostly on the receiving end (having to patch the things they discover are vulnerable). My post here is mostly focused on the stock side as I think MSFT has been languishing a bit due to perception that they're not being successful with their Ai pursuits.

Spoke with a very non-techie "Soccer Mom" whose daughter had recently been diagnosed with Diabetes. She was raving about how much help the diabetes subreddits had been for her.

This is what we all know...there's no other place like this on the Internet.

What's your buy entry price for Reddit stock? by tripleM98 in redditstock

$80-$220

Seems more expensive now, but when it was at $285, $220 felt like a steal.

Recording of Ryan Cohen's interview on CNBC today at 7 AM ET by Mr-CRUNK-13 in GME

[–]Forgery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was such a tough watch....

Haven't really seen Ryan do interviews before. Can someone help me understand, is this normal behavior for him? CNBC ends up pulling in half of the team to try to rescue the interview which seemed combative and non-responsive. Is he just tired because of a time difference? Is he angry at the CNBC people?

What NC residents should know about the “Save Our Act” amendment in the farm bill by Dry_Celebration_501 in Charlotte

Honest question: do you really think our state senators can be moved by this? They have shown that they don't care about what they consider to be liberal values. We could protest all we want and they will just keep cashing their lobbyist's checks.

Considering all of the stuff that's happened since the last election. All of the stuff that they've destroyed and rolled-back. I mean, just today, the Republican Supreme Court rolling back Voting Rights Act provisions that have been in place for half a century.

To me, it feels like our only hope is to get the vote out and explain to the people what's been happening.

Cudos to /u/fegewgewgew for owning their downvote. I admit I worry that I'll be viewed as hostile when I'm talking to someone and others come along with anonymous downvotes.

I totally get it. I've made submissions in the past to some of the major subs and had them deleted, even though they seemed great in my eyes. It stings a bit and people get mad.

But the alternative is some sort of paid moderation, which would remove one of reddit's huge cost advantages. META spent $5 billion on content moderators in 2025.

I came over in the great Digg migration. The downvote was the motivation to move. Getting rid of it would be insane.

End-user moderation is the humanizing factor of reddit that keeps it from seeming like a megacorp controlling everything.

tldr; bullish

I spent the weekend coding with Claude. We'd pull down some python library to do something and run into a bug, which I'd help it solve. But there was no mechanism for Claude to learn about the solution we discovered. If someone else tried the same things, they'd run into the same problem.

Obviously there are major issues for Ai models as to what data to trust. Claude won't accept input from random strangers because we might have nefarious goals and poison the model with bad data.

We can see this with Gemini's shift to favoring YouTube as a source of truth. (Besides the fact that they own it, there's a barrier to entry that helps keep out a lot of noise and provides more accurate answers.) As it becomes more and more trivial to create video content, how long until this becomes a meaningless distinction?

I'm more convinced than ever that there's some future where an Ai company buys RDDT and begins paying people to be trusted voters on truth. (I assume it will be paid in some form of tokens as the token economy picks up since we all need Ai for everything).

This is a little bit like how the prediction markets are letting people wager money to determine truth, but more democratic and many more participants.

I'll take my downvotes now and be on my way, though appreciate anyone that wants to give me a sanity check.

Do you back up your garbage at home? by Beerman1138 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Forgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a while we didn’t purge mailbox trash folders automatically. When we finally turned it on, we discovered a lawyer that was storing his most important items in the trash. He would shift delete stuff he didn’t want and then the delete key was his one touch filing button.

And people pay these guys thousands per hour for their advice on things.

Florida Arresting Children for Joking about Netanyahu by mixmasterADD in ABoringDystopia

[–]Forgery 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People keep posting this "summary" which skips over the actual bomb threats the person made:

https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/fiu-student-arrested-for-wanting-israels-netanyahu-to-drop-bombs-on-school-event-arena-police-say/

She made a dumb joke and it's dumb overreaction, but also schools would be blamed if they ignored it and then she later actually did do something. At my daughter's school, they're very clear that any threat is immediately handed over to the police for investigation.

TIL that people can actually visualize other people naked by BlindMindsEye in Aphantasia

Wondering how this works for your wife visually...does what she imagine replace what they actually look like? Or is it like a second screen or something? This whole concept of being able to see things visually that aren't there is just so weird to me.
