Lappi lost six seconds, going from -2.7 to +4.3.

Now this guy has all the chances in the world to extend his lead by a huge chunk! 🍀

I'm never happy about other people's suffering with the exception of fascists, putinists, nazis and other people who break the social contract of tolerance.

That said, a some of computer programmers from the Western countries who used to work for big tech are the very same people who were using commie narrative and trying to make me feel bad about making businesses and hiring contractors to delegate the work I can't do.

Now that they're laid off and they need to adjust their lavish lifestyle to market-average salaries across the industries, I'm genuinely eager to see what will they achieve and what percentage of them will start hiring contractors and delegate as they hustle, trying to stay afloat and/or increase the quality of their lives.

I've started in a poor family in Eastern Europe, my mom had to work two jobs to feed me and pay 60$ a month for a non-shit meritocratic school (which was a great call on her end!), I started working more or less full time when I was 16. I didn't have the slightest chance to go to a reasonable uni (sorry, @latvijasuniversitate, you suck), and I *still* don't own property, nor am I eligible for a loan. I always wanted to tell that to the big tech commies, basking in their privilege, but I never felt it's worth the time.

But now that I see reasonable people being sorry for Facebook, Twitter and Google lay-offs, complaining about Github / Microsoft layoffs, I can't help but to feel like this has to be said. In general, imagine staying in Facebook post-2017?! I feel for people losing their jobs, but it's not a tragedy, for fuck's sake. Companies fuck up left and right in other industries. Job is not a tenure.

Ridiculous how precise you have to be. Craig lost a second in the last three KM. Gah.

This rally is so good. Ott is on top with a slower car, the snow specialist Taka is fighting! Glorious stages. Makes me want to move to , so pretty it is.

The same industry that wedged a goddamn blockchain into every product that never needed it, then memed layoffs they did not need into papering over their shitty foresight is now just gonna put GPT3 into all things that also never needed them, so we can get the cocksure confidence and guaranteed wrongness of a Musk-alike entity into every facet of our existence.

the espionage genre vibes and a sneak peek into intel level mechanics.

It only gets better with macro-resource system that can be transferred to any game!

If you run a WM campaign, Out of the Ashes is a must-purchase!

@thull @me@mastodon.benbuhse.com I hope so! Also, let's not confuse activism and politics 🙏

Thanks 🙇

Out of the Ashes by @TheTweedmeister is worth every penny because it combines a setting, a nice rule-set with, and most importantly, well-thought game design.

It has the conceptual depth of and first-person thrill of some staple titles while being real and not goind into the realm of (hated by the crowd so much it makes me giggle).

I feel the need to do some self-promotion…please forgive me.

My game, Out of the Ashes is a fantasy game about hope, community, rebuilding, and striking out at the forces of evil. It has plenty of tools for building a campaign, and is the latest iteration of my ideas for mechanics as seen in Liminal. The world is distinct from “standard fantasy” but relatable, and easy to make your own.

You can find it here.

Please share widely. I’m currently on strike, so RPG sales are even nicer than usual!

And leaving Twitter hasn’t helped when it comes to promotion of my lovely things.

For the next few days I will describe this village on the shore of the underground sea, and some of its inhabitants.

I wrote up some detailed notes on how I trained a GPT model from scratch using nanoGPT, exclusively against content from my blog: til.simonwillison.net/llms/tra

Ooph, it must suck for Piere-Louis. A privateer beating him at a split. I think that Bertelli will still have a worse time overall, but that's a bit embarassing for a driver.

That said, it's an absolute testament to how good privateers are! Great time in the end.

back to prime time content. Since I'm planning to run sessions for @e_eric and others who want to play, I've returned to France and wrote some content about some fictional French politicians.

FTR, it's snowy in Varmland, but is currently +4 rather than +2 where the rally takes place currently.

All EU leaders clapped for Zelensky, except one. Can you guess which Viktor Orban it was?
