I had a massive stroke. I should be in a wheelchair. I'm mostly fine now. It's postulated that my multilingual abilities helped, among other things.

If they were just objects, indeed it would look better from a visual standpoint. I think it would drive most of your fellow humans nuts. My hunch is that people read the bullets as sentence markers, not just a visual flourish.

Another 'gift' of the ADA, making it miserable: Incorrect urinal height: The urinal rim exceeds the 17-inch maximum height, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users.

Cheap 4K HDMI/VGA-to-USB input boards and reverse HID cables are available. Betwen the two for $50 - they turn your laptop into a Moniitor, Keyboard and Mouse for a random computer.

The nice thing about religious faith is that most minds can hold only one at a time. I may believe in an oddly resurrected deity who took the shape of a man , but I don't have room for anything crazier. "We are fools for Christ&

Enough legal/illegal/asylum drama for it to become an election issue. Hard to hide rape statistics.

There's an escape valve: I've had Claude stand-up AI-enabled features in my app, so we're much less dependent on Claude itself. The app uses cheap API calls to check code quality and run other "lessons learned" swee

I agree. National Socialists and Fascists are unacceptable. Also their cousins - International Socialists. Any ideology that has a body count measured in the millions is my enemy.

Summary of Song: Person has feelings. Situation is complicated. Repetition indicates feelings are significant. Several metaphors were used instead of just explaining the problem. Conclusion: still sad, but now with drums.

You're absolutely right! (At our office, we jokingly use AI-isms as we accuse each other of being meat proxies for our AI overlords.)

I spent my childhood using crappy 4K versions of BASIC. Love my career. Still get to do everything from embedded nonsense to database architecture. My son started on Scratch, then Minecraft, and 15 years later he's working on designing

I do. I have a series of Claude 20x MAX accounts that cost me $800 per month in total. I use about $12K in tokens at API rates based on napkin math.

It's a great 'glue' language to tie a lot of systems together, especially when you think of MS Excel as a system.

I've had to learn to change how I write so I'm not accused of being a bot. No dashes, no trite pairings. (Yes that was intentional) It just dawned on me that I've had to do this before: When PC stuff became vogue: Black vs wh

Yes… Half-life is long. That's why skipping pills allows me to change my residual dosage in my body. Injections are once a week and don't allow for that fine-grained adjustment.

You can very much overdose on Vit D. I suspect your risk tolerance is different than mine.

My observation: Some starts just seem to need peat during germination, and that's sort of a hard requirement. While a lot of things just need better-draining soil (Coir, perlite, etc.), some very slow-germinating but delicate things ju

Just don't do this around other people's children without consent; that's all I ask. Some families aren't as permissive, and that's OK.

I've spun up an AI-assisted RoR app. Having the AI "explain this to me like I'm a human" has been the quickest way for me to learn a new environment, language, and system that I've ever encountered. The golden days
