In my neck of the woods the price of gas is ~$2/USG.
The average tank capacity for the majority of vehicles (excluding commercial heavy) is less than 20 gallons.
Why TF is there a bank hold at the pump big enough to fill an 85 gallon tank?
Oh, right. Banks can't math--why they needed bailouts.

Hotel front desk: The entire modern web infrastructure you rely on is held together by a handful of volunteer run opensource projects, and if one lead maintainer decides to delete their repository today, the global economy would stall by noon.

AI is shite. How do I know?
I've had a long-standing problem with music streaming services...
I have a "liked," catalog of 8K+ songs and the algorithm plays the same 18 songs over and over when I ask for a random selection from my library.
AI reduces the number of different songs played by half.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

To all app devs:
Stop asking me if I like your app while I'm using it.
I'm USING it.
There are always other options. If I like them more I would use them instead.
If you interrupt normal usage to ask how I like using it, the feedback is ALWAYS negative. Always.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:
All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Got on a thrill-coaster ride one Saturday morning that stalled and got caught in the crossfire of a wizard duel between a senile old sorcerer and his spoiled brat of a son.
The old one mistook me for a five-headed dragon and clobbered me with a DMG.
