I recently learned that press-on nails are making a comeback and I found a set on sale and thought it would be fun to experiment with so I bought the shortest set possible and still found myself trimming them down because it "felt weird" so here is a picture of my press-on nails that look like little stumps.
The coolest thing about press-on nails is, as your real nails grow, your fake nails get to travel for free.

My cross to bear is everbody alla time sayin' everthing is simple.
Nothing important is simple.
For me, this belief, that nothing is simple, is the only reliable hallmark of maturity.
And I'm a bitter old man, I *know* how tempting it is to draw a line and declare a rule and pretend one knows, how incredibly comforting it is.
But I'm a bitter old man, and I also know how many awful things we do in the name of our simple rules and straight lines.
Nothing important is simple.

Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.
That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

Why do people still use that #Govware?
- Use @torproject / #TorBrowser (and maybe @Waterfox if you have to use Websites run by assholes that block #Tor!)…

If you've been missing #selfhosted podcast since it wrapped, then there's a new show in town. The spiritual successor. Check it out!
Thanks for including boobs on the list of things not to use. Three women at least that I knew used theirs as weapons, and one of them raped me.
@Quasit <3 I see you and hear you.

What the student did was write the paper, and then asked ChatGPT for comments on it. And, of course, some of the comments were wrong.
Which the student caught.
This might be the most useful way to incorporate genAI into courses I've seen. No my idea - the student did this on their own!

@mattblaze I think the key is what’s the learning goal? Both can be useful. I’m really concerned with llms as consumate bullshitters , but if you’re training grad students to deal with program committees, then r#2 is important.
@adamshostack I think being able to engage with unreliable feedback is extremely useful (and demonstrates a very high level of knowledge).

I really don't like software companies that call their developers "engineers." No code of ethics? Not engineers in my book
