He controlled one of the most powerful starships in the Alpha Quadrant. He had the power to wipe out civilizations, destroy stars, and more.

I don't think whataboutism is warranted.

It's cool, but aren't you Picard? I want to be the one saying "Analysis Mr Data" and know that Claude is looking at the problem from a certain, fixed POV. Then I can ask Number One and Worf, my cybersecurity officer.

Then, obviously, you tell them to make it so.

I think DS9 has some characters that are intentionally annoying. Early Kira is supposed to get on Sisco's nerves and test his patience.

Then there's the queen of making you say, "I hate this character" Kai Wynn.

My #1 beef with the Orville was always that they couldn't write a B-plot. Some of those later seasons have a 60 minute episode, with no B-plot. South Park always has a B-plot in a 22 minute episode. TNG always had a B-plot.

I saw a commit in the repo at work that edited a few config files and a dictionary.txt file. "co-authored by Fable"

> Once CosmoCube’s data is back on Earth

Did I miss it or did they fail to explain how that would work? Does it just slowly move around the moon so it gets its 1000 hours of observation, then eventually comes out of the EM shadow?

Or is there some final boost that pushes it?

Will it crash into the moon eventually?

So the conversation might go, "Hi we're Deutsche Bank - we're able to clear renminbi transactions up to one million yuan." ?

Is it a yuan or is it a Renminbi?

My argument is that all the vocabulary for computer science are things. Even if they are virtual, they are tangible. You can draw a picture and label a box "bytes".

Nothing in the ChatGPT conversation is tangible. It's all in the realm of concepts.

start-ups spend over 100% of revenue on risky ventures.

I'm stodgy, but I can't get past how they chose VERB-OBJECT instead of OBJECT-VERB. get-<tab> is useless. MSFT knew tab-completion would be a thing, yet they made it useless.

Fallout 1 & 2! Formative titles for young me.

For recorded music, you could always buffer however many milliseconds of audio to account for the processing.

Michael Bay just read "computronium" and spawned an 8 movie franchise in his head.

Well yeah. Cars kill 40x the people.

Seeing this while the 75 year old who killed a whole family of 4 with her car gets away without jail time...

Some pretty wild misplaced priorities.

I did the math. Twitter was down $1.3 billion over 10 years.

Anthropic lost $5.2 billion last year. So they are 40x better at spending investor money than Twitter.

Hard to call Twitter the archetype for Anthropic.

You just engaged in deflection and whataboutism on his behalf, but you aren't defending him?

It really seems like you're defending him.

Putting on my pedantic hat, does this qualify as a picture of the mountains? As in, is there any light hitting the mountains, then hitting the film/sensor?

Or is this just an elaborate silhouette?

Is that a difference? I don't know.

After 4 years of Russia/Ukraine, does anyone think that a terror group would take down an airliner with anything other than a drone? Why take any operational risk of actually going through security?

Off the top of my head, C# is both the language & the runtime. React only throws things over the fence to browsers.

Probably helps a lot to keep abstractions from leaking.

> why bother learning two paradigms

Objection. Your React is ultimately turning into HTML so you DO have to learn HTML + CSS. You just have an abstraction over it.

The Pacific ocean is big.

> Also, they run 24/7 at 100% capacity, so after only 1.5 years

How does OpenAI keep this load? I would expect the load at 2pm Eastern to be WAY bigger than the load after California goes to bed.

NextJS is web-scale.

Washington bridge rebuild maybe? The demolition of the piles is all that's left.

I heard a little DVa from Overwatch.

Work bought me a VisionTek hub. I wanted the 1 cable life - unfortunately, it only does monitors via DisplayLink, aka compressed & streamed to & from my desk. It's noticeably fuzzy.

So now it's 2 cables: 1 from the hub, 1 from the monitor. Both USB-C.

WTF guys?

My Apple monitor from 2009 just worked with 1 cable (no power, but still).

IMO that phrase came about when old tech companies (the IBMs of the world) had

  * waterfall
  * design up-front
  * source control systems that
    * defaulted all files to read-only
    * required you to "check-out" files, potentially locking other devs out from editing them [1]
  * probably didn't have unit tests so "deploying to prod" meant "doing a full QA pass, done by human beings"
  * there was no CI/CD (We had "Build Engineers")

In this context, pushing a change to SVN/git/hg, having tests run automatically, then having CI/CD push new code to production, all as a side-effect of one engineer push a button? That was moving fast, and occasionally, breaking the whole website. But we got better tests, better CI/CD, metrics, green/blue, ... We learned it was unequivocally better than the old way.

Didn't they change names months ago? I know them as Codeium.
