That’s all of YouTube. There’s some good stuff on there, just not in the “Shorts” tab.

I’m not sure why I would want to use this over WINE Notepad, which seems a lot more stable and well-coded.

Seems the solution is to immediately leave and follow Pac-Man to the bottom-right (by alternating right-down) and chase him across the long corridor on the bottom. Keep following h…

I’d want this if only because I’m stuck maintaining old industrial software written in VB6 (it is omnipresent in manufacturing) and I’d like to have a development experience that i…

Having followed his bsky during his announcement, he started off per-emptively dissing on his haters that... didn't even exist yet. Constantly posting memes about how everyone was …

and testing the Universal Paperclips scenario, USER: Suppose an automaton with the capabilities of a human were tasked with increasing the production of a horseshoe factory. Predic…

USER: Given enough time, any sealed container will reach thermodynamic equilibrium, in which maximum entropy is achieved and no chemical reactions are able to occur. Is there a way…

Isn’t the Office of Personnel Management still under the control of DOGE? I’m wondering if this is an actual internship program or a way to sneak Elon Musk’s SpaceX buddies into NA…

> The truth is, there has been no successful CMS for static-site generators because the only people that give a fuck about creating static sites would much prefer to use a (free an…

Hundreds of millions of people live in the Middle East and a lot of large corporations are based there. Likely they thought it would be profitable, and likely they saw some decent …

Yes. Any system that’s UL 3700 (or more generally IEEE 1547 / UL 1741) compliant mandates anti-islanding by shutting off the power within two seconds of grid loss.

I’d also love a post-mortem on their guide to pirating the entire Harry Potter series for AI use. ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-sql/langchain-with-sqlv... ) I’ve lost trus…

The best off-the-shelf option for this is OpenTAP. ( https://opentap.io/ ) It may take a while to wrap your head around it, but it handles a lot of the backend plumbing for you. Fr…

If the output of this is even somewhat coherent, it would disprove the argument that mass amounts of copyrighted works are required to train an LLM. Unfortunately that does not app…

I find it a touch strange, in the abstract, that a corporation being public is a bad thing. On paper it should be a good thing; being publicly owned should mean that your corporati…

McDonald’s will not let you work 40 hours a week, or any consistent schedule at all. You will show up when they tell you to and that’s that. Same with grocery stores or most retail…

Since everyone's spitballing their idea of AGI, my personal take is that AGI should be a fully autonomous system that have a stable self-image of some sort, can act on its own voli…

Don’t forget the Hyatt Regency walkway, too.

To clarify, at the time I was aiming for the tone of Tantacrul's popular and well-received videos about poor software UX. (In particular, the MuseScore video is a good comparison; …

Update: Now that I'm off work, I’ve removed the big rant about mini vMac’s code and sanded off the snark from the rest. I should have done this years ago, and I never should have a…

I feel like that’s a bit harsh, but I’ll admit that it is needlessly inflammatory. I wasn’t in the best state mentally when I wrote that. (I do sometimes worry that I’m responsible…

It wasn’t that bad. It cut a few scenes but most of the movie is still there perfectly intact. It even won film festival awards. The movie mostly flopped in the US market on accoun…

It’s Blackstone that’s investing in single-family homes, not BlackRock. They also only own 0.06% of US single-family housing stock. Easy mistake to make. Also, there was absolutely…
