If the robots are destined to exterminate humanity, the least I can do is teach them to sort their kill lists by net wealth.

You're so vain
you probably think the conspiracy's about you

AI thought:

Junior coders write simple code.

More experienced programmers fall in love with complexity, and expand every problem to fill the big space inside their heads.

But mature coders write simple code.

AI writes code like the middle set. Because, perhaps, complex, verbose code is the largest fraction of the training set.

Just think: if Trump were to actually pay out his $5000 per voter bribe, the recipient could afford to buy dozens of gallons of gas in the Trump economy!

This $500 toothbrush:

- no independent clinical trials, the only trial was entirely sponsored and managed internally by Dyson

- no peer reviewed publication of methodology or data

- claimed internal trial had 411 participants over only 4 weeks, and only compared against manual brushing.

- absence of longer term human trials and lack of head to head comparisons against industry leading electric brushes smells like cherry picking.

Yeah no.

Further confirmation that Dyson are a bunch of bullshit artists.

I had a hard time believing this was not satire.

I hate it when Instagram shows me pictures of my exes, out of the blue. I think things like: I can't even remember how that relationship ended. That was a good person. I hope it ended well. Is this someone I owe an apology to?

The modern Voight-Kampf test is the presence of an emdash.

"My mother? Let me tell you about — my mother."

Hi there.

The other team threw the code away that I had spent 3 months developing, because it was faster for them to just generate new code with Claude than to read the code that was already written, documented, had thirty years of experience behind it, and had complete test coverage.

Get me the hell out of this company.

Hang up the car and drive.

motherfucking landlord installed two new smoke detectors four years ago but didn't install any batteries.

seriously what

IIUC, the entire reason Trump ripped up and rebuilt the reflecting pool (and failed) was to erase the improvements that were made during the Obama administration.

I don't think America has ever had a more neurotically insecure president with a tiny pee-pee than this fucking guy.

Instead of rebuilding the East Wing, we should keep it a monument to this era of American venality and self-own. The decade that America manifested the darkest part of her soul, and it destroyed us.

Well, so much for Roku. Anybody got any spare NVIDIA Shield hardware laying around?

Dammit, the AI is better at resolving merge conflicts than I am. Or, at least, it's more persistent in scenarios that require some trial and error.

California Democratic voters fail to show up at the polls again. A Republican candidate ends up with the most votes in the bluest state in America.

cynicism, despair, and apathy: this is why we lose.

"The Mandolorian and Grogu" is totally missable, but might be entertaining for the Star Wars obsessed kiddies. The "it's a western, but Star Wars" shtick has gotten old. Still, I did enjoy the one action sequence that seemed to be an homage to John Woo's Hard Boiled.

I mean, go see it. You know you're going to go. Just roll in with low expectations.

I just started taking ADD medication this week. It's supposed to take 3 weeks to reach effective levels in my blood stream but I already feel a bit like the broom in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Trump has "negotiated" for himself a $1.7 Billion settlement from the DOJ and IRS for those agencies having the temerity to investigate crimes Trump actually committed.

Really, not much different from Trump walking into the Treasury and stuffing money into his pockets.

That's "Billion with a B".
