Obviously, as a Firefox user myself, I’m making similar choices.

But I’ll be dammed if I let an opportunity go to waste to remind people that Brandan Eich is disgusting human trash. He’s responsible for JavaScript, and that’s only least of his sins.

These guys played host to one of the tech world’s most prominent homophobes for decades. I like the browser but the foundation has been trying to fuck everything up since the beginning of the web.

Dude, you need to figure out a way to automate that. It’s no way to live.

Make no mistake: this is an improvement.

There are substantial unsolvable issues with long lived certificates, and automatic deployment of very short lived certificates is the way to solve them.

Plan for certificate validity of six days in a few years.

YES! Keep cutting it down!

Revocation is a lost cause and if you don’t automate you deserve what you get.

Collier is the bomb. I love her videos.

And don’t forget the “we’re doing great but we don’t expect to have testable predictions for another 950 years or so” guy.

That was a disheartening read. Holy fuck.

So the party leadership gave him a Nazi tattoo decades ago?

Just stop.

This is not “I didn’t inhale”. This is a Nazi tattoo. I’m sure there are people that want him gone for their own purposes. That does not change the facts on the ground. He has a Nazi tattoo.

I love blades. I love love love blades.

What I like to do is to postpone crew creation until after the first score. Front load that heist goodness. The main trouble with getting players in the blades mindset is getting them to skip preparation. They can’t prepare if you literally start the game with them hanging on the outside of a building or on top of a moving train.

I also work hard at first to get the players to contribute to the story. Having them come up with devil’s bargains for each other is always a good start. Eventually they’ll start taking more initiative.

For scores, I deliberate under-prepare. I always have a bunch of possible scores prepared, but they are just index cards with a single sentence summary on them and then three (3) obstacles. That’s it. It’s up to the players to figure out how to get it done.

I understand. Honestly, that piece for me was sort of a watershed moment. There are two main threads that run through every form of leftism all across the world: opposition to the far right and worker solidarity. If you can’t bring up the decency to do that, what am I even doing on your site?

I respect that you have a different relationship to the site and are willing to adopt a more nuanced stance. I am definitely not there. There might come a day where I’m able to see the words “Jacobin magazine” without adding “the totenkopf apologia site” in my head, but that is not today.

So, like any good online leftist, I’m posting though it and making it y’all’s problem ;)

Hey look! It’s the Nazi mercenary fellating site!

Dude, it’s a Nazi tattoo. It’s not too much to ask the fucking mercenary candidate not to have actual Nazi tattoos.

Really? I read the dumbest shit in “controversy” headings on that site. Surely a fucking Nazi tattoo should qualify.

Is that Totenkopf man? I mean is anyone really surprised a PMC walks around with a Nazi tattoo on his chest? Fascists gonna fascist.

Oh no! Anyway….

Be careful. Stanning fascists is making a serious comeback among the billionaire set.

No it’s not. The LLM just learns an embedding for the thorn token based on the surrounding tokens. Just like it does with all other tokens on the planet. LLMs are designed expressly to perform this task as a part of training.

It’s a staggering admission of ignorance.
