Who can forget Carlton Egremont III's Mr. Bunny's Big Cup o' Java ?

I was going to make a joke about ludicrous speed, but then remembered that automatic dishwashers for restaurants typically clean dishes in under two minutes.

I worked for a lab that was building a new computer room and it spent about a year in the permitting process with the local town council before getting approved. Most of the focus in that process was on the geothermal cooling system.

I don't even use my home PC for interviews, but instead use a refurbed laptop with a clean OS install.

I read the AI 'manifesto' that the CTO posted and I have to say I'm very much not impressed.

There are several different approaches they could have taken to leverage AI to create a more secure product for their users, but there was no mention of it.

As a long-time paying Proton customer I have regularly given them feedback to stop with the AI features and instead asked them to focus on improving their core products (mail, vpn, drive)

I'm not sure that the CEO and CTO each have the job that they want to have. I'm hoping the board gets rid of them this week.

yeah, I am a software developer, not a system administrator.

In the early days of devops it was primarily focused on supporting developer productivity (CI/CD) but quickly morphed into sysadmin once cloud computing took off.

My new analogy for AI is that it produces an elaborate lunch buffet containing so many floral arrangements that considerable effort must be expended to find the food being served.

I got that message loud and clear when playing this the first time.

frontier models are good because they can make stuff that is believable, but that doesn't mean the stuff they make is valuable.

'capitalist punishment'

if a person doesn't like democracy then they should simply not vote

a spark from a static discharge is sufficient

knowing which button not to press, ... priceless.

I would think that a simple steak is a whole food, but I have no idea what would be in a SimpleSteak™

>> AI is truly a once in a civilization event.

Aren't we on our 3rd or 4th iteration of AI at this point?

I bet a matrix of cpu fans mounted to the ceiling would work rather well, rgb lighting is optional.

maybe he'd just consider it a hyperbolic statement

maybe they tried to undo the change, but were not able to

For Spain it would probably be Catalan Independence, for France any mention of air conditioning technologies, and for Italy it's pineapple on pizza.

Play a game long enough and the main challenge becomes inventory management. I look forward to the IVAR update.

The second and third attempts are much less difficult.

how do I submit a 'contribution'

Unfortunately, the current leadership in AI and tech more generally seems unconcerned with reputational risks.

But they wrote the article on principle, and that has a greater impact.

I took my first statistics class as an evening course, before going to graduate school, and 90% of the work involved doing hand calculations, avg., variance, std. dev., z-scores, t-tests, etc. And I think that gave me a strong grasp of those fundamentals.

If you could do something similar for bayesian statistics I think that would be useful, but not necessarily popular.

While reading your comment it occurred to me that virtually all reporting on (or talking about) science involves applying it to an unsuitable context. Schrödinger's cat is probably the most prolific example of this.

You should add some RGB backlighting to it.

The one criticism I can offer on IKEA furniture is that some of it doesn't move well, specifically the particle board stuff which will fall apart at the joints if it's not carefully handled.

Having said that, I also tend to not buy the particle board stuff.

I'd prefer it if IKEA offered more options (dimensionally) on their durable furnishings.

I credit Minecraft with getting an entire generation comfortable using command line statements.

I think at least half of the software developers out there simply don't test their code in the final product (or at all). And why would they when their revision is being reviewed in a pull request?
