Those are standard equipment on many big rigs for backing up in the dark. I had the same experience as you when I forgot to dim my brights coming up on a trucker on the interstate at night!

Enjoyed reading the crude observation that we eat cat turds for work. I like the author who watches the graffiti on the train ride rather than a phone screen. Was the “Spirograph butthole”meant to be a reference to a React app default favi

Great observation! It was also too complex to be a tile for an app launcher or favicon. It has to be legible at 180 x 180px these days.

Appreciate it- thanks for the feedback. I was admittedly being inflammatory, much in the spirit of the network we are discussing. In my perception it was not always this way and when it first came out I remember liking it. It was general

"According to data from Nielsen, Fox News — from the period spanning June 20 through Sept. 1 — finished as the no. 1 network in all of broadcast television during the primetime hours of 8-11 PM. During those hours, Fox News averaged 2.

So the same concept of an LLM training and inferring tokenized language, it’s doing tokenized aminos. Instead of artificial intelligence/language it’s doing artificial evolution/life I guess?

I heard about Aircela- a modular gasoline from thin air generator company- from a comment in here earlier this week. It was never discussed in any posts so I looked into it because it sounded fascinating. The details are it costs about $20

Also a good point- but there is no python runtime on accounting and PMs computers. And it’s also a huge mess to try and support. Imagine some python code from 10 years ago, then juggling the versions, then god forbid any module dependencie

Everything you say is not wrong. But despite being so horrible, the business world still runs on excel. Finance, underwriting, accounting, engineering tools, fantasy football leagues… Excel is a highly used tool possibly the most used tool

Nobody has a better ecosystem of “industrial marine grade code rot resistance” than Microsoft. That I can run the same .NET web app code compiled 20 years ago on a new Server 2025 is an easy experience unequaled by others. Or the same 30

I’m not OP but similar in age and remember when it wasn’t always like that. You could talk to someone who was reading the paper on the bus, they wouldn’t be annoyed. Being in public it was fair game. There would be conversations happening

The first words of the header are Donald J Trump, then 3 pictures of Trump... and a blurry kid. This is a just a propaganda site of an egomaniac try to associate with the latest technology.

Truth. It’s a pure lock in, so many agencies are committed and sunk so much cost and effort into it that they’re never seriously going to consider any other vendor/solution. The ESRI documentation for any advanced topics falls apart

Love this writing. One paragraph hit very close to home. I used to be the guy who could figure out obscure scripts by google-fu and rtfm and willpower. Now that skill has been completely obliterated by LLMs and everyone’s doing it- except

They work until they don’t in my anecdotal experience. Any substance it seems the first time is the best. Then, slowly, my brain chemistry adapts, and it becomes less effective. Sometimes a higher dose works for a while. But it never las

Just shows what our assumptions are about attire and culture. Short sleeves 75% and shorts are 62% currently, yet it’s a record high temperatures in NYC. (I know it’s hotter in Saudi Arabia and almost nobody wears shorts there.) The 2% umbr

Sportsmen use long guns like 30’6 for big game hunting (elk, deer, antelope) out west. Shots over 100 yards require a large cartridge like that. AR-15 are used in the southern states for wild hogs and varmints, or coyotes. Not exactly trop

This is spot on, and a very good explanation why the Agile Industrial Complex is so despised: It papers over the nuance and detailed complexities of software engineering. There are probably similar oversimplifications in other domains but t

Intrigued by this. What was the rate of false positives? For example are there storage tanks, silos, above ground pools mistaken for yurts?

I think the article is exaggerating quite a lot > It’s so toxic that the poison from a single newt can easily kill several adult humans. You could literally die from licking this newt, just once. TBF there is one death reported in Oregon

I think you’ll meet most of the community and could gain some standing working at the town gas station actually, especially if you try to be even a little bit friendly with the locals.
