Hell, the Unabomber was a Harvard grad and had a phd from U Mich.

I got my first tickets to a Rush concert later this year as well. I never thought I’d have a chance to see them live so I jumped as soon as I heard about it. I only wish Neil Pert was still around…

The Artemis II crew was.

TACO now and forever.

Not just where to put the nails but also how hard to swing the hammer, when to stop swinging it, etc.

I just used Claude yesterday to add some functionality to an existing python script that interacts with AWS. It created an unnecessary loop where 2 of 3 iterations were effectively no-ops. So while it did ultimately provide what I needed, I still had to refactor what it generated in order to remove the useless loop.

My wife & I saw this late last year. We agree that it was amazing. What’s truly incredible about it is that the actors were all members of an amateur theater in the UK where it took them years to write & refine the show. They started performing it at their little amateur theater where it eventually got noticed, took it to London’s west end (their version of Broadway), and after a few years there brought it to Broadway in NYC. It’s done so well on Broadway that it’s run there was extended something like 8 times, and it’s now starting a tour across the US.

Cue, not queue

Those smiles are all really cringey to me. Not proof of AI but I seriously doubt highly trained special ops soldiers would sport such shit-eating grins while the operation is still underway. Real rescuers would celebrate only when safely back on the ground in friendly territory.

The only thing that makes him happy when he travels is when he sees hotels, golf courses, etc. all emblazoned with the name Trump. He’s such a narcissist that he simply can’t enjoy something that doesn’t shout “Trump” in the most garish way possible.

My guess is that they hoped to eventually replace the equipment if/when the datacenter was rebuilt.

Back in the early 2000’s I worked at Akamai, and as part of my training I spent time in their Network Operations Center. They have equipment in literally thousands of data centers around the world, and rely on the datacenter staff for any physical work.

One day I was looking at old tickets in the NOC and found one that had been open for a few years and apparently abandoned. It was about an entire rack of gear at a small Midwest ISP that had stopped responding. The NOC staff had tried all their typical remote troubleshooting then reached out to the ISP for physical troubleshooting.

The last comment in the ticket stated that the datacenter had been destroyed by a tornado.

Not just shot down & captured. He spent 5 1/2 years as a POW, enduring both torture & years of solitary confinement.

While a POW his father was named commander of all US forces in Vietnam. The Vietnamese offered to release him then as a propaganda tool, but he refused.

I’m sure President Bone-spurs would have jumped at such a chance to be released like that. Assuming he would have survived the solitary confinement & torture.

My employer uses Googles business suite for everything, so we use Chrome to access email, calendar, word docs etc.

I still use Firefox & ublock origin for all my other web browsing.

My wife & I both volunteered for this study. Hope it gets approved ASAP!

President of peace my ass

Here’s to hoping the whole dealership model crashes & burns as well.

“Mistook”

Privatization would return us to the pre-9/11 days when the TSA didn’t even exist. The problem with the private security back then was that each airport was responsible for contracting out their own security. So you had no standardized training, airports going with the cheapest bidder, etc.

I still remember taking a business trip back in the 90’s, wearing the exact same clothes through two different airports. At one airport I walked through security without a hitch. At the second one I set off the metal detector multiple times. The screener ultimately used a wand and determined it was the metal studs in the jeans I was wearing and also the metal eyelets in my shoes. When I mentioned breezing through security at the first airport he said it wasn’t surprising the different airports had their metal detectors set to different sensitivities.

Privitization can be a good replacement for the TSA, but only if it’s done correctly with proper training, standardization, testing, etc.

Didn’t Musk promise like a decade ago that Tesla self driving would run fine on their “hardware v2” computer, then a few years later that it would require v3, and then v4 before he finally stopped making such promises?
