  • I agree. We’ve had sheets that supposedly fit a queen size, but are infuriatingly “just shy” of fitting without bending up the freaking corners of the mattress and forcing them over – only for another corner to pop off. I recently threw a set in the trash out of rage… maybe they shrunk slightly in washing, I dunno but there should be some extra size to compensate for this. I don’t need to bounce a damn coin off of my bed.

    Good. This shows plainly how LLMs don’t think, don’t truly understand anything, and have no critical ability to do introspection or fact-checking. It seems the only way to teach the world of these things is to make it impossible to ignore via absurd demonstrations like this. If the “AI” well must be poisoned in order to wake people up, I’m all for it.




  • When I was young, my Atari ST’s video out was a DIN-13 connector. They were as rare as hens’ teeth, and my monitor was an analog RGB Magnavox 8CM515 with something else, so this sort of setup was literally what I had for about 4 years. Worked great, with the extra ‘feature’ that the whole display would twitch slightly to the side every time the floppy drive’s track stepper motor would move on disc seeks :-)







  • This here. The dirty not-at-all-a-secret is that NONE of it is profitable. It is all a money-burning, water-wasting, RAM-market-sucking black hole.

    There is no road to profitability unless they somehow convince everyone to pay multiple thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions. At least that’s what I keep hearing; evidence otherwise with real references, I’m open to consider.

  • This is (will be) the real damage… the disruption of the intern→apprentice→intermediate→journeyman→senior software dev/architect pipeline. I mean, companies in general have always tried to shirk their duty (IMO) to take on mentoring, always pushing educational institutions to give them raw meat who can ‘hit the ground running’; “AI” now gives them a new way to avoid in-house training and long-term commitment to their current and no-longer future employees.
