What movie was it with Schwarzenegger and Belushi, where Schwarzenegger swaps his soviet watch with Belushi's more expensive watch? I don't even recall what brand Belushi's watch was... time to do some google-fu-ing...

This is a great post. I'd like to tack onto your mention of teaching. I have found teaching really pushes me to understand the subject. It would be sad to lose this ability to have "real" teachers, if everything goes to AI.

+1. If you really understand your queries (which, if your queries are complicated enough that you already don't use an ORM, you should), then my favorite set of "tricks" are CTEs to collect info and convert/translate as

So if people are sticking these on valuable items, is the use case now for thieves to break into a house, wander around and be alerted when said valuable items (which are hidden or otherwise not obviously evident) are close by?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned, but this is like shades of the universal translator from star trek. We have tricorders now (mobile phones), universal translators in the looming... when is transporter technology going to get here?

This probably is most telling: "I switched careers from sales, marketing and consulting". Having said which, if his intention was to use his skills in sales, marketing and consulting to achieve these results, he has certainly achi

I am missing the reference to the canadian goose and the retriever puppy as spirit animals. Is that to say the H100 is an ornery thing, but the RTX4090 is friendly?

Good luck, many pools already ban fins (unless it's part of a training school, in which case the lanes are marked as such) due to risk potential. Secondly, I could see this being used recreationally in the ocean, but in the local pool?

Enterprises think differently. They want data provenance, privacy, ability to mitigate/transfer risk etc. If IBM is willing to offer that, there will be enterprises that bite.

I'd like to offer a counterpoint, I have an old'ish T480s which runs linuxmint, several lxd containers for traefik, golang, python, postgres and sqlserver (so not even dockerized, but full VMs running these services), and I can go

One thing I do appreciate from perl days, is highlighting of opening/closing brackets, braces, etc. (as long as escapes are handled properly)

let's make it three then. Read the books, enjoyed the series(s). Want a unicorn backpack to carry around, but don't think I can carry it off (pun intended) the way Joel did.

Wow, thanks for the watching list! I agree on season 6 of House of Cards, sadly Robin Wright can't carry the series the way Kevin Spacey did. Albeit, we got bored of money heist after season 1.

using English has been tried many times in the history computing; Cobol, SQL, just to name a very few. Still needed domain experts back then, and, IMHO, in years/decades to come

perhaps that's the best path forward? Text and reference books (hopefully unbiased) for answers, and web scraped data for conversational tone.

yes that's correct. I came from perl and python, and got caught out a few times in Go(lang).

Cirque du Soleil does this. They always setup their own venue on an open ground, but I think that's more for consistency of their layout and apparatus.

MS is pushing hard with copilot for $30/user/month (annual commitment... I see they've learned from Adobe, sigh).

ah yes, Iomega zip drives, back in the days when you could stores 10's of 1000s of files and images in 100mb. Nowadays, that would be like, what, 10 smartphone camera pictures?

Isn't it simply because training data by definition is from the internet, which is highly SEO'd.

I used to have to work out late at night (like 8-10pm), and found that 30+ mins of low intensity cardio and a long period of relaxed stretching after the workout helped.

absolutely. You should/must separate transactional emails (account creations, password resets etc) from EDM (marketing emails).

I haven't kept touch with the mainframe industry, but yes, you captured it succinctly, last I knew, a lot of IBM mainframe stuff was running on emulators. Albeit on highly available hardware.

that concurs with my anecdotal sample size = 1 study, where I have gone for 3.5 days without sleep before, and just keep feeling hungry and snacking every hour or so. (for those asking what happened after 3.5 days, I basically started getti

I think you've mistaken the UAE (United Arab Emirates, flag carriers being Emirates and Etihad) for the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, flag carrier being Saudia ). These are different countries (and airlines).

That's a good point, I know in Australia, NZ, the Uk/Wales etc, sheep and cattle graze in farmland that would not be easy to reshape (e.g. terraced) for agriculture. So that otherwise "useless" farmland ends up being us
