Yep. Like the fact that he’s a champion piss drinker, more holistically healthy than LeBron, and the greatest Soviet leader of all time.

The entire c suite and board has to show up when the verdict is read. If it’s guilty they’re immediately shot. Any who flee and don’t show up, once they’re picked up, get dropped off the coast of that island where the natives kill outsiders. All wealth distributed amongst workers and contractors.

That’s because you guys worship Ra, but are also satanists, but started the Nazis.

The Catholic Chick Tract is my third favorite one after D&D and the one blaming the Nazis on Catholics.

I just feed my vehicles trees and children and black smoke comes out the back. Runs great.

Horses!

The problem with the conservatorship was that the person in charge of her life also stood to gain from her.

I don’t know enough about the whole ordeal to comment more about whether it was right or wrong, but I feel like a big issue is when there’s no separation from who stands to gain and who is in charge.

What are you trying to say about Santa?

Did y’all ever find out what caused it? Anything on the security cameras? I’m all invested in this. How’s your buddy holding up?

I don’t use them but I follow the news about them loosely. The reason for this is epistemic humility. Claude has a pretty good idea of what its capabilities are and where the ceiling is. Chatgpt has no clue what its limits are so it believes it can do everything. Basically chatgpt has a lot of info and no idea where the gaps live and Claude has a fair idea when to search or use some external function to handle something. Gemini has less than Claude but more than chatgpt. Grok has little to no epistemic humility, but it did manage to accurately portray Musk as a world champion piss drinker, something none of the others were able to do.

I say that, but it’s been a few months since I looked. That could have changed because shit moves fast. By the looks of what it’s trying to do with the timer chatgpt has less than it used to. Possibly because of the way the model is trained to be helpful and confident.

Yep. They only look similar to people trying to win points or defend the guy over rampant hypocrisy.

This is the one I was looking for. Many years ago I worked construction and these big burly dudes who hated gay people at the time and likely hate trans people today all wore them under their clothes in the winter.

I liked dogpile back in the late 90s because it would aggregate from several sources and wasn’t terribly cluttered comparatively. I think I swapped to Google around 2000ish because it was so minimalist.

I didn’t know my band was anyone’s favorite band!

Especially now that the lines are 6 hours long here.

This is pretty accurate. When I came up I worked in an MSP. So I had to deal with customers. It taught me a lot about being able to say anything to people. You can break any news to anyone, it’s all in how you present it. So I gained people skills.

After I passed through that gauntlet and gained a breadth of knowledge, I went internal and gained a depth of knowledge. And I started out breaking the news in a way that I would break news to a customer.

Later after I proved my depth of knowledge I started being able to be blunt to any CIO or CTO I came across. And most of the time they’d send me reqs or tell me something was happening that required my skill set then would leave me the hell alone to handle it without kibitzing or bumping my fucking elbow.

When I started my own one man consulting shop I stopped giving shits at all. I found a good client and we have a good contract and most of the C levels like having someone on staff who just says what they’re thinking instead of sanitizing it. The CIO doesn’t necessarily like it but he’s outnumbered.

All this really only worked because I did go through a few years of soft skill hell though. Price you pay and all that. Well, price I paid for this path.

I get what you’re saying and acknowledge that that’s the best environment for some people, but for me there’s a different feel in being in your office and being on the back porch or out in the garage with the door open.

The fresh air, mild distractions on an easy day, and more natural light make me feel good. I think the beach would be a fucking nightmare for me. Same for things like a coffee shop. But if I’m in at least a semi private space and it’s not a balls to the wall day, I’ll take not being chained to the desk every time it’s practical.

No. I barely talk to people I know and like. I think it’s great for those who do (as long as they take a moment to read the room and see if the person they’re approaching isn’t obviously signaling they do not want people approaching them, such as having on headphones). I do not like to chat face to face.

I block ads but only because they became super egregious and are a threat vector in some cases. My default state is “oblivious idiot”. It’s not that I’m not susceptible to marketing, it’s that by the time I notice it you’ve already broken the web page I’m on and now I hate you.
