Damn Edward Bernays and his consumerism. Maybe it would have happened anyway, but he pushed the idea of throwaway, buying the latest, trashing what works or could be repaired. So much waste for the sake of the economy.
If this was Perry Bible Fellowship there would be one more panel… when awareness kicks in.
Here’s the link to the ExplainXKCD about this image.
The one mentioned is the node.js story. It wasn’t a long term thing, as it was just a matter of replacing the code and many had their own local versions and weren’t relying on a core source like others that broke. But dependency, no redundancy, not breaking gracefully, they all are avoidable problems that are all around waiting for whatever little block topples for them.


What a great gig. Get paid in a contract (probably up front), cause lots of damage without any accountability, and then quit early.
Never considered that Europeans don’t know the wonderful sensation of 110v. It can vary from a slight tingle (it’s not even tingle, but I can’t describe it) to a “holy shit” moment that throws you back, depending on how and where you touched it and how much current flows. The great thing about A/C is the cycle, unlike a DC current which can lock your muscles and keep you from letting go.
I took it as a sex joke too, but actually meaning if the mother hadn’t skipped out on the previous sex the person wouldn’t have been conceived because there was already someone else.
But He loves you. And he needs MONEY!
There’s a Mac version labeled (horrific). So many levels to unpack there.
You’re too late. The rebellion has flown away.
Starting? I was eating Kraft cheese product from between two plastic wrappers for sandwiches when I was a kid, and I’m damn old.
It’s still cheese “product” though, right?
Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure can help. Funny line, but it’s also true that much of people’s stress that filters into relationships and health is money related.
Different inputs, but same brain. Sometimes you need to focus better and having other unrelated distractions around will make that hard to do.
This is also why talking on even a hands-free phone is more dangerous than talking to someone in the car. If something sudden occurs, the person with you usually will stop talking, while on the phone they probably won’t know and keep going, adding to the background noise and maybe being a factor in your ability to handle the situation.


Tell them to also put up other religious documents. Suddenly they’ll object. Demonstrating the whole point of separation. If only we had other places to practice our religion… oh, right, we do.


“The Future is Now!”
also:
“We went too far.”
Thanks, fixed. Broken in any multi-universe.


Yes, and no. It’s not all fake, there’s stuff going on, it’s just not what they’re selling it to be, and highly pushed into places it needs to stay away from, for safety and for inability. My takeaway on him being surprised as how people aren’t impressed isn’t the LLM factor of what it can do (well or not), it’s that HE isn’t aware that other LLMs are doing better than Microsoft’s version. He really is deep if he doesn’t know what the competition has. That’s why there’s a lackluster interest (as well as burnout of AI “solutions” for every damn thing, often worse than just doing it like before).
My coworkers use Co-Pilot. When they have downtime, just for amusement, just to see how badly it mangles things it ought to be good at doing. Never mind the fringes where an LLM isn’t suited at all.
Is it $400 or $500? Article says both. And what about a charge for theft, why is that not there?
If he had reported her visa to ICE, this probably wouldn’t have become a crime and he’d be part of the team. But he went rogue.
