No one attempted to kill me today. Even the CyberTruck recognized that he had to stop at red light before turning. Miracles abound. #cycling

The netflix restaurant was the only place in MGM where you could escape the noise that some people call “country music”.
Are they going to cancel my meal after two courses?

AI was first coined in the 1950s. And since then various AI technologies have found themselves on your phone, tv set, banking systems, video games, robots, moderation systems, cars, etc and has been for decades.

You are literally using AI to post this awful take.

You need AI.

Lets take a break from how awful human drivers are and pivot to delightful images of animals frolicking in the chicago snow.

Oddly there is a lot of queer resistance to waymos but a waymo won’t go on a homophonic rant, a waymo won’t throw you out of the vehicle if you hold hands with your boyfriend and a waymo won’t disparage the gayborhood you just drove through

Also they are safer. Period.
It’s wild how people will instantly rally against Waymo but we never see the same level of invective when human drivers kill people.

“It was an accident.”

1. Keep your pets leashed.
2. If local politicians treated human drivers killing people like this we would already have much safer streets.

My ex hacked my phone and is spying on me - how do I get them out?!

Almost every time its the ex manipulating them and never the device being compromised.

Practice better password hygiene and stop talking to your ex
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Its AWS reinvent where I will buy one good meal for myself before throwing myself into the system of everyone paying for my meal/drinks for 3 days so that they can get my time. Counting the minutes to my return flight.

I’ve never seen one of these in person but I got into a number of arguments with people who ran them after I would take them down with an simple nmap syn scan.

Knocked out ATM network in 7 states one tome. Impressive hardware. Horrible software.

The hyperfixation on data center water usage is one of those things that makes me think people are largely hunting around for respectable reasons to be mad at people they've already decided are evil based on emotional or tribal affinities.

Using LLM backed tooling to automate some tasks doesn’t eliminate other peoples involvement. The code still has to be reviewed and that takes people and tooling hours. In many cases this makes my job as an architect harder. Not easier.
