coding123··on The Secretive Dynasty That Controls the Boar's Head Brand
I went into a Safeway the other day and it had Boar's Head plastered on all the walls around the deli. It makes me not want to even go into that grocery store.
coding123··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
Or dismantled, lol
coding123··on US weighs Google break-up in landmark antitrust case
break up big food. All our problems are there
coding123··on California Bans Sell-By Dates
Yet another surprise. I wish CA lawmakers would stop operating in the dark.
coding123··on Gen AI Makes Legal Action Cheap – and Companies Need to Prepare
Lawsuits may become automatic when you leave a store unhappy it might have the ability to create a lawsuit and then the store's lawsuit Api will be called, then the two ais will start negotiations and end up with a $15 deposit in your account by the time you get home. And it will be all because a certain hormone raised in your head.
coding123··on How were 70s versions of games like Pong built without a programmable computer?
A friend's Dad has Wozniak's old VCR. We used to watch movies on that all the time as kids. Interestingly this person was also working on Pong, specifically on the ball device that used to move the paddle around.
coding123··on Nobody wants to use any software
Stop using them
coding123··on American WWII bomb explodes at Japanese airport, causing large crater in taxiway
Large? Maybe 3 yards of gravel 8 sticks of rebar and some drill in pins to connect and 5 yards of Crete and they're good to go.
coding123··on Why I'm leaving Medium: AI policy
Some things that may seem simple may actually be the cause of some people's demise.
coding123··on Do AI companies work?
I don't get the point of the author. At one point he's saying because the race to get bigger and better will never end, we'll need ever larger compute and more and more and more, so in the end, the companies will fail.

I don't see it this way. In plumbing I could have chosen to use 4" pipe throughout my house. I chose 3". Heck, I could have purchased commercial pipe that's 12", or even 36". It would have changed a lot of the design of my foundation.

Just because there is something much bigger and can handle a lot more poop, doesn't mean it's going to be useful for everyone.

coding123··on Liquid Foundation Models: Our First Series of Generative AI Models
Can it write a python function to count the letters?
coding123··on Map with public fruit trees
This has happened for free RV camping spots. After the internet occupied the space, you can't find a peaceful area to camp anymore. In fact many places in AZ closed due to people just dumping their black tanks straight up on the land.
coding123··on Hacking Kia: Remotely controlling cars with just a license plate
Many people that escape prison kill people immediately after doing so. Either in the process of running from the law or simply taking over a house for a few days of cover.

It seems to me like taking care of business before that happens is a more beneficial thing.

coding123··on Fraud, so much fraud
> and others appear to be running for cover.

In every industry right now there appear to be a lot of people running cover. I have a personal belief, with the exception of a few industries, 50% of managers are simply running cover. This is easy to explain:

1/ Nothing follows people

2/ Jobs were easy to get in the last 3 years (this is changing FAST)

3/ Rinse and repeat and stay low until you're caught.

coding123··on OpenAI to Become For-Profit Company
It is more likely that reddit stack and others are just being paid billions. In exchange they probably just send a weekly zip file of all text, comments, etc... back to oai.
coding123··on Kubesafe: Never run Kubernetes commands on the wrong cluster again
Another option, just give prod's creds to CI only.
coding123··on LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
My largest problem with UBI is that there will be a large percentage of the population that will just sit at home. There will be a growing demand for people to work, and prices will just skyrocket to pay the wages of the few willing to work. As those wages go up, more people on UBI will finally get off their butts because even they will no longer afford a cheeseburger at $45 each. but the cycle will just keep going.

In the end we have witnessed that we need stable inflation. If we have fast inflation, then unlimited numbers of people are left behind, for no fault of their own. If inflation is relatively stable, people can adjust slowly, carefully, and both companies and employees benefit from that.

coding123··on LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
While I don't disagree with the notion of the existence of BS jobs, UBI is not needed. Instead we need more companies to take on more and more interesting and world-solving things.

We keep saying we need UBI but at the same time "we don't have enough homes". Then instead of UBI, maybe people should "make homes"? (That's just one example - there are also jobs in food, healthcare, mental illness care, spacecraft, etc...

coding123··on California Legislature's unwritten rule: negotiate in secret, not in public
Yes that seems to be happening all the time. We hear about giving illegal immigrants 150k assistance (not available to Americans) to buy homes a day after it passes. Something aint right in the state of CA. (for reference, that bill was also killed by Newsom 2 weeks later) It is kind of eye opening to see that they're doing this and saying it out loud. I encourage everyone to vote Red for CA legislators this year. It is awful the kind of one-sided "democracy" CA is becoming.
coding123··on CREATE INDEX modifies the table name case (2009)
.NET and other windows devs like making symbols have case and spaces. :/

In any case, the fix is in the ticket:

While the bug does still remain when using the CREATE INDEX syntax, you can use the following suitable workaround:

ALTER TABLE `TableName` ADD INDEX `idxColumnName` (`ColumnName`)

and it will leave your table case intact.

coding123··on LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
Someone filled in https://www.linkedin.com/not-applicable today on their job app, and I have to admit, that was clever. I don't personally like that we make that field required.
coding123··on 14 Dead as Hezbollah walkie-talkies explode in second, deadlier attack
I had the same question - also wondering if the walkies were designed to trip after radio signal + first depression of the talk button. But it could also just be a larger explosive given walkie talkies are considerably larger.
coding123··on Another coding copilot raised 400M, without a product
Seems like the names of people that ran unicorns in the past is enough to build half-billion - multi-billion investments now. That's a diverging pattern from the past. The largest problem with throwing darts where you already have, is the dartboard may just fall apart in that area.
coding123··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
I don't know - it would seem that the wars there don't end, it's just continuous with intermittent slow downs.
coding123··on The magic of DC-DC voltage conversion (2023)
Many people use DC-DC to down-regulate a 48 volt battery system to 12-volt for their RV where they remove the original battery pack and replace it with Lithium. Not everyone does that, some use a 12-volt lithium system. Less 4/0 cables needed when adding inverters and other fun stuff to the RV.
coding123··on James Earl Jones has died
He was 93, and of course this kind of thing is expected and we shouldn't be surprised by news like this, but somehow this news hit hard. I guess after 40, when your own personal heroes pass, part of you dies with them.
coding123··on Project Hammer: reduce collusion in the Canadian grocery sector
It's not the grocery stores creating this environment, it's their suppliers that have been consolidating non stop for 10 years.

This is the real story:

I think it should be entirely oauth. no password needed

Combine coffee with Jack's Spicy Chicken and I have the opposite for 4 days. Hope that helps.
