There's a lot to your point. Tech companies with barely functioning enterprise software products (or worse, companies that can acquire other companies and their enterprise products…

My reaction to the title was "AI is learning enough from misogynistic assholes in its crawled data already, it doesn't need Bukowski's help."

Assume for a moment that the code of cost is zero, and the barrier to entry for coding is gone. Furthermore, let's say you don't want to do anything innovative, you just want to cl…

First thing to note is that while the pictures are from the 1960s, the article merely says that Ford uses (and has used, for years) these caves to store cars in transit. The Kansas…

There's a Ford manufacturing plant 3-5 miles from many of Kansas City's limestone caves along the Missouri river. And as the comment-linked video down below shows, these warehouses…

Here's my suggestion. Find a good audiobook version at your local library through Libby or Hoopla. The one I listened to was about 24 hours in length, but shorter at 1.25x. After e…

Strong "I drink your milkshake!" vibes from these proposals. Both of these proposals require political stability we're unlikely to see over 600 or 50,000 years. You have to be thin…

Same size is important. There's likely also 12-15% shrinkflation that increases this significantly.

>> $2.50/box today relative to $2.00/box in 2019 represents +25% inflation...so nowhere near purported pre-COVID levels. Annualized, that is 5.7% inflation. (1.25 increase ^ 0.25 f…

Have you all read any old Apple II source? One reason very early on was to seed the PRNG (rnd() function) with variable input. https://www.applefritter.com/content/random-number-ge…

Much of the LK-99 discourse talks about replicating results. What is the cost (time, skill, material, equipment, etc.) that it will take to replicate the results? How soon do you t…

It is certainly worsened by the period of zero interest rates, which fueled a massive viral outbreak of promotion-driven development cultures among most of the largest tech employe…

10:10 wasn't always dominant. Look at some print ads for watches from the 1920s and 1930s. 8:18 was used just as frequently if not more so. It's the "other" time where the hands ar…

I suspect it's a little of column A and a little of column B. I asked my pop this question in the early 1970s and his answer was the first part of the SO answer--so that it wasn't …

Very interested if it's my area suburb, as an occasional Enterprise customer.

I am biased, but building the Intro to Information Retrieval chapters in your favorite language, bit by bit, is really good to get the feel of the tradeoffs for index capabilities.…

It's typical for unvested RSUs to accelerate and vest on change in control. Based on the 10k, there were about $2.2B worth of unvested RSUs at the start of 2022. Musk's $44 billion…

Silence by Endo is amazing.

The soundtrack to Railroad Tycoon II was amazing. I miss that game most. Second place might be Falcon 3.0 for Mac and 4.0 for PC. Third place Crystal Quest for the old Macs.

So in that one, with the hand motions and the emphasis on "thread" and "well lit" and the motion across (where the Christmas lights connected the two lamps) they were implying that…

Naw, King's novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" was totally solid in its own right before the movie. Same with "The Body" and its earlier subsequent "Stand By Me". Bot…

What you are all witnessing is that the proverbial bus hit. (Was there a proverb about busses?) This is just a drill. Only a drill. Use your backups.

My HP-11C is going on 36 years old, flawless, and is reportedly Turing complete [1]. Echoing the @dbtc comment that there are likely many special purpose computers that are closing…

I once toured an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright home and a lot of what I learned there was about the impracticality around the maintenance of the home, and the challenge of subsequent r…
