Only one way to find out really…

Got a little crush there don’t you Doc?

That’s the start to a really great argument for taxing the fuck out of the ultra rich…

Sweet ass-space

A mild mannered working man one day hears a voice in his head whispering, “Give up everything and go to the casino!”
. The man is a little freaked out, but he puts it down to stress and ignores it. But the voice is there every day, day in and day out, not giving him a moments peace, whispering in his head, “Sell everything you own and go to the casino!”
.
This goes on for weeks, months. “Take all your money to the casino…it is your destiny!” Finally he can’t take it any more, it’s driving him mad. He can’t sleep, he can’t eat, he can’t concentrate on anything. So he gives in and sells his house, his car, his worldly possessions, everything, and takes the money to the local casino. He bursts in the door like a wild man and yells out, “OK! I’m here! Now what ?!”
.
The voice whispers, “take all your money to the roulette table and bet on 15 black.” The man shouts back, “Why should I ?!” The voice responds, “Do this, and you will have your answers!”
.
Weaving and stumbling, he stalks over to the roulette table and puts a bet down, all his money on earth, on 15 black. The ball drops, the roulette wheel spins, around and around it goes. The man watches it with feverish intensity, around and around, until finally the ball stops on…2 red.
.
The voice in his head whispers, “…fuck!”

Genuine question, but does the sun’s gravity put it in black hole territory? I thought black holes had such massive gravity that not even light can escape it…and the sun produces a lot of light…

Does Superman have access to the SpeedForce ?

It even can be a feature if AI isn’t as good as the people they are replacing. For example, in the case of call centers/help lines, it might be more desirable to have a shitty system to discourage callers yet have plausible deniability…

I find I’m referencing Cory Doctorow a lot lately…

Cory Doctorow had an article recently on this.

I think the “especially as you age” part of the previous comment was important. Yes walking/biking/moving are good and healthy, but as you age you start losing muscle and bone mass (I forget, like a few percent every 10 years?). The only way to offset this is something like resistance weight training.

My experience is nowadays documentation is even going to go away, as the answer to fixing things is more and more going to be “get Claude to fix it”

Also a sizable contingent who don’t like the recent “invasion” by the KMT and would welcome being part of PRC. The farther south in Taiwan you go the more that sentiment grows, as the KMT settled in the north.

Found the Louisianian

Kingdom of Heaven, how a nobody blacksmith is an expert swordsman/architect/siege warfare person. Walked out of the movie the first time, forced myself to watch the whole thing years later. Nope never explained, still dumb.

It’ll do things like write a great helper function that it uses once but never again, maybe even writing a second copy of it the next time it would use it.

Holy shit! That exactly explains why I’ve seen so many duplicated functions lately. I brought it up to the dev responsible the first time I found one (git blame), and he was just like “oh haha I can remove one” like he wasn’t quite sure what I was talking about, now I realize he must’ve gotten on that AI train much earlier than I thought…

I just switched to Librewolf from Firefox, would you recommend moving to Waterfox instead ?
