I feel like you’re half right? Daughters in law and passers by don’t feel Norman French. Daughter is definitely from middle German, yeah? And I am wondering about the professors example because the whole point is the plural only happens on

Tom's response: "Sounds good, please don't take offense at me adding https://github.com/furkan-bayrak/lg-tv-blocklist to the PiHole. Can never be too safe, right?"

Yeah, the whole rise of the web has had that unfortunate side effect, but no one had treated it like a positive until now. Hell, Meta is showing off how to use their AI to jam up phone lines and bother call centers without having to spend t

I’m sorry that definitely happened to you. Can you tell us more?

I would find this more believable if you had one of your assistants post this.

There was an Irish entrepreneur with ideas in this space. Gil O’Tyne was his name IIRC.

Oh, Anthropic beat you to the bioweapon fearmongering by almost a week.

It’s because it’s from the French (if you say the plural with a French accent, it all makes sense). There are a handful of other cases in English, though none spring to mind this morning.

I’m excited by the library too, but the post was so Claude I had to stop. Actual docs are at https://wrapture.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

I don’t think the author swallowed anything. My read is the author fundamentally doesn’t care what story the creator tells themself to justify doing something pointless that annoys others.

We’ve essentially reduced the cost of being a prick to zero.

Man, if you ever start reading books instead of spouting shit online, it is going to get weird.

Signed up to simp for Enoch Powell? I’ll grant you that’s original.

Why be so specific? Speaking as a Tom Clancy who read the first four or five.

Hmm, I feel like I have a pretty decent … well, not production-ready, but it’s all in Ansible and I did have to rebuild it from that once, which ironed out most of the bugs in that and everything gets built according to the templates I have

That smells like "show don't tell", but who knows.

I resent the implication. Or appreciate it. Whichever you prefer.

Next step: set up a scheduled job to read the logs to find any issues before they bite.

Are they? I feel like the real difference is an insistence on actually enforcing them. There were some really strong standards at the time of IE5, it was just the wild west in terms of what got built. And then you had Tantek Çelik quietly b

I mean, that’s like your opinion man.

Yeah and we wish they would stop. Because solutions like this are something the system optimizes for.

Yeah, I know. What I’m suggesting is don’t.

I feel like robots that could do this with 100% accuracy might shine too bright a light on how well recycling currently works. And I say that as a proponent of the three Rs.

I don’t want to say you guys overstate things, but literally every downtown in the US? Might be time to move. I was regularly visiting San Francisco in the late 2010s when the tech bro community was really ginning this story up. Was it an u

I think it might be interesting to know age ranges for posters, because this made me smile as it reminded me of hours spent trying to perfect Barnstorming by Activision on my Atari, right down to the scan lines and flight dynamics. Not sure

A really good point, though Occam’s Razor would suggest that part of the prompt is written for the other side’s lawyers more than for Claude. Saves having to go into court and try to prove a non-deterministic system will definitely understa

Same. Now how am I going to know my incredibly trenchant literary references landed? More seriously, I’ve done the same with movies and gotten some really good recommendations.

Eh, I’d say more he hadn’t been fired for being drunk. Part of the trick to being a success as a functional alcoholic is being a white guy. Please don’t ask how I know.
