That was 40 years ago! What lessons were learned from that are even relevant to this? Should I be worried about early days development lessons today or the billion of lines code de…

Ok but hands off my chickens hoa clucker

I've seen self described "product owners" claim to build using LLM outputs without knowing how to code.

Money won by definition is not lost so therefore I'm rich!

I guess a general application of statistics and control is going to be called ML then? If that's the world we're living in then I wonder how the missing fraction are being governed…

> AI models are used in almost every one of our products, services and operating processes at Microsoft Oh boy. Any insight from microsfot peoples on this apparent hell-hole?

In particular I'm refuting the study that purports to measure NO DIFFERENCE with or without a hood. I am saying that is so far outside the realm of the every man's experience with …

Hate to say it, but I don't know how trust worthy those studies are especially the one claiming vent hoods have no impact! If I cook bacon on my stove without a venthood the entire…

Indeed, in python you can just eval.

Nah uh! We are still warring! Israel winks at Gaza, Iran squeezes the U.S.A's ass.

I used to hide porn deep in the lotus folder cache. We are kindred spirits!
