must be enthusiastic about AI

Right now, in every C-suite in the industry, is a single thought: someone is going to get a competitive advantage from using this tech. As a result, we're all being asked - and will eventually be told - to use this stuff lest we "fall behind." Sadly, it doesn't matter if that's true or not; perception is reality in situations like this. Meanwhile, it's up to the little guy to figure out how to pull that off without sinking the ship in the process.

That's honestly what this lemming is seeing out there right now. It sucks, but I really think that's the status quo.

I'm not too surprised. Over and over again I'm starting to puzzle together that the current crop of Agentic coding tools are "better than an intern, worse than an SME." By that I mean that the quality really can be anywhere between those two goalposts, often all at once, for no reason whatsoever.

Weather?

Oh! You mean outside.

Yeah, we don't do that here.

With the rise in popularity of Anime like "Delicious in Dungeon" and "Campfire Cooking in Another World", I wouldn't be surprised if people are honestly giving a "cooking bard" character a shot. I'm intrigued myself, but am curious if the RaW for this bard college works in practice. Is anyone out there playing one of these?

Windows, can I run this 25 year old software I just installed?

As far as labors of love go, Stardew Valley is probably the most current example. People paid for this thing years ago, but Concerned Ape keeps adding new features anyway. The retro graphics give this thing a timeless quality out of the box, so it already looks "dated" - this hasn't stopped the robust player community around it. We'll probably see this game stay relevant for a long time.

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

Out-crazying all the crazy passengers. This probably stops so many stupid rants and conversations dead in their tracks.

5/5 pro move.

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

There was so much to campus life that just felt natural and just ridiculously, offensively, convenient.

  • Practically everyone is roughly the same age as you, and that group is thousands strong (depends on where you go).
  • Just drop in on dorm rooms and say 'hi' to friends, whenever.
  • Dining is usually very close by.
  • Lots of entertainment options, most days of the week.
  • Included access to showers and fitness facilities (varies).
  • Free bus travel with student ID (varies).
  • Student ID discounts at some retail (varies).

The fact that we refuse to build communities outside of school with these features, just boggles the mind.


I'll add that this is practically impossible to replicate in adult life until you get into a "retirement community". And like college, those are ridiculously expensive too. If you're an undergrad and barely old enough to drink: I urge you to please live these days to the fullest. It's tragic but you really won't get another moment like this again.

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."

I'm calling it now. Even if his aim was to not destroy Twitter from the inside, he will absolutely say that was his goal when it eventually happens.

People like this never, pathologically, ever, ever admit making a mistake.

This didn't go down well.
