I'm just gonna say that some aspect of the data collection here seems flawed: among the SF clubs listed are DNA Lounge and Public Works – which are great clubs, don't get me wrong – but they are very much on the smaller side. And, Phonobar? That is a bar/restaurant, not a nightclub at all. Meanwhile, The Warfield and 1015 Folsom are left out – how does that make any sense?

Doesn't matter. We must keep building more and more technology no matter the cost. Have an idea for a business? Build it. Does your business make the lives of people worse? Doesn't matter, keep pushing. Could some new technology ruin the lives and relationships that people have? Doesn't matter, just build it. We always need more, need to do more. Every experiment is valid, every impulse must be followed. More complexity, more control, more distraction, more outrage, more engagement. Just keep building forever no matter the cost.
Eric Weinstein refers to this as an Embedded Growth Obligation (EGO), whereby organizations and economies at large assume perpetual growth, and that things really start to unravel when that growth inevitably slows. It is pretty mindblowing how we have basically accepted growth as the default state, it is not at all a given that things always grow and get better.

Something interesting... the first 10 seconds or so of the "Death Growl" example[1] is basically copied verbatim from "Ov Fire And The Void" by Behemoth.
More specifically, I think the part that seems copied is at 2:13 of the original[2], as it leads into a solo-ish bit which in the AI version sounds similar still, but goes on to do its own thing:

Maybe a skill issue, but I've tried using Gemini 2.5 Pro in Cursor several times, and each time it is an abundance of thinking and very little (often incorrect) actions. Claude Sonnet is cheaper and much more effective for me.
Having a hard time imagining the GHA integration will be much different.

ssalka commented on Do variable names matter for AI code completion? (2025) yakubov.org/blogs/2025-07... · Posted by u/yakubov_org
The names of variables impart semantic meaning, which LLMs can pick up on and use as context for determining how variables should behave or be used. Seems obvious to me that `current_temperature` is a superior name to `x` – that is, unless we're doing competitive programming ;)

IMO cases like this won't matter until the supreme court decides to hear or not hear an appeal for one. There's no way we will allow "fair use" training in certain regions of the US while prohibiting it in others (at least, no way that will last very long).
That, or Anthropic wins their case and we continue with the de facto argument of fair use.

Isn't this basically Peeple except gender locked to women? Peeple failed because they couldn't eliminate bias and gossip against anyone. If someone was jealous of another, for example, that person could just write false slander and claim it was real with no evidence. That would have affected the victim for jobs, dates, etc. So it was laughed at by VCs and everyone online and it shut down.
How is Tea even legal? Isn't this just a legal libel timebomb waiting to happen?
I would imagine Tea enjoys protections from Section 230, same as all other social media sites.

"California Sen. Alex Padilla made the designation in a letter sent Thursday to the Government Publishing Office"
What does this mean. U.S. Senators can unilaterally designate federal depositories?
It sounds like it was at the request of IA:
> "...in response to the enclosed letter I received from the Founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, Mr. Brewster Kahle, I am designating the Internet Archive as a federal depository library in California."
Which seems a lot more agreeable than unilateral designation (which is also how I initially read this).
