I used to be a picky eater.
The older I get the more I can’t stand picky eaters.
I was wrong when I was a picky eater.
It’s so annoying. People base whole chunks of their personality on not liking tomatoes or cilantro or whatever. Grow up. Pathetic.
Upper management and middle management are the same picture.
All members of management don’t do the actual work and the only reason for their existence is to try to get the actual workers to do more stuff for less money.
So even though we all know that their jobs would be one of the easiest to replace with an LLM, what will happen is management will attempt to replace as many workers with LLMs to justify their “more for less” existence.
The number of managers won’t go down until there’s not enough workers making money to buy the goods and services that the companies are selling. But by then we’re all screwed.
I had a girlfriend many years ago who asked me to disconnect the ventilation fan in her bathroom. When I asked why, she said, and I quote “That’s for people who smell when they go to the bathroom”.
This fellow human was literally telling me her shit don’t stink. I was flabbergasted…
I don’t want to sound cliche but yeah. E.T.
And there are people saying that they immediately knew it was bad. Not me. I played it for a stupid long time. When I was 12 I would play any video game for as long as I could. And I remember screen after screen of just terrible, unimaginative redundant gameplay and wondering if I was doing it wrong…
SomaFM is awesome. Please support.
Their eclectic Christmas channels are on 24/7 in my house during December. And Groove Salad can turn any get-together into a classy chill.
Yup, my mom bought one for my brother and I. Just a rectangle with exposed springs. No pads, no walls or nets.
We never did get hurt, but man, we could do that double-jump timing thing and send each other ridiculously high.
I mean, of course they could.
But where’s the money in that?
Holy shit it is the Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. theme!
It’s not some classic composer or something; it was literally written for that show and since it was such a good song and the show got cancelled after one season they totally snatched it up!
Blue cheese. Specifically double cream blue cheese spread on triscuits.
I used to think blue cheese tasted like play-doh…
Yup. Self-driving cars will never truly be possible with unpredictable humans still driving the other cars on the road. Maybe if you could put a true AGI into a car.
We could have self-driving cars with today’s technology if the only other vehicles on the road were also self-driving and all interconnected via a mesh network with each other and the other critical road infrastructure like intersections.
But if on today’s roads if you want a truly Level 5 self-driving car where you get in the car in your driveway and say “take me to Burger King”, you’ll need an AGI in the car.
Well I used to think it was this:
But looks like it’s gonna be more like this:
Yes. Banks and gas stations.
Also, self-storage facilities and car washes. And churches.
You know what they’re not building? Mixed use, walkable anything.
The first Rage Against The Machine album feels more relevant today then when it was released. Like this is the first time I’ve really, really felt like RATMs intended audience and not a 3rd person.
How about the color corrected version?
Or is the original color variation part of the vibe?
The people in this comic are both monsters.
You don’t touch the thermostat.
Hey…wait a sec now.
Arrive in EU, go through customs with US passport, 180 days later go to the airport, walk straight to customs and go through with your Carribbean passport. Rinse and repeat every 180 days? Hmmm…
The article isn’t helpful for most of the target audience.
Citizens of the Carribbean nations in the article can currently enjoy up to 180 days in the EU visa-free. The same exact visa-free window as citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand are granted.
Citizenship to one of these Carribbean island nations can certainly help you leave North America, but it doesn’t help you get any more access to the EU than you currently have. It just helps you move to…the Carribbean.
Microsoft is a victim of it’s own success.
If they continued to support Windows 10 and basic local MS Office installs, how would they, ya know, make more money?
Most of us would still be perfectly happy with Windows 7 and Office 2010.
I don’t need OneDrive. I don’t need Copilot. My company doesn’t need Azure. But Microsoft needs someone to buy their goods and services.
What else is a massive organization going to do? Rest on it’s laurels?
I tried balut in the Philippines. Definitely something you should try at least once.
It’s just another food that people eat everyday that someone tried to make sound scary. Not sure why people do that.
When I was a kid they told me that Koreans eat cabbage that they bury in a jar in their backyard for a month. OH MY GOD SCARY.
Now I eat kimchi 2-3 times a week.
