Yes as a matter of fact it was “those” patio lanterns

a taskforce is equivalent to a taskmass multiplied by a taskacceleration

#ideation we need commercial machines that “beep” both in tune and in rhythm with the music currently playing Very disconcerting when they don’t if you’ve got musical ears

Of course it doesn’t — all those AI data centers are throwing off the normal rotation of the earth

☕️☀️Good morning, lovelies☕️☀️

Ah come on people — that was gold…

#OTD I figured out what #OTD means…

Upper management came into contact with buzzwords and then all hell broke loose Not that far off IRL

I have a #drinking #problem If Mary drinks 2 shots to every beer that Tom drinks and Alice has 1 shot for each beer that Hank drinks and Hank drinks 1.7 times faster that Tom then how many beers does Tom need to drink before Alice has a lampshade on her head?

I used to turn the engine off on long downhill glides and then do exactly that to start back up as I neared the bottom of the hill Also did that all the time with my motor bike — parked high up so I could roll and start it leaving the parking garage

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Stephen Colbert has absolutely no reason to do it, and ABC probably wouldn’t want the FCC headache, but it would be very funny if he spent Kimmel’s annual summer vacation guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day.

Learning way more that I would really like to know about #OBS, #VDO.ninja, #NDI, and #Ubuntu #Linux All the hard way of course

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

As LLM usage prices rise, the CFO is going to enter the chat and ask a simple question - what value is the company getting from this? And you're not going to have a good answer, because you didn't ask that question yourselves.

If your a human and you see another human promoting love, life, and laughter, give ‘em a boost

As musicians, we shouldn’t care if our music is successful, if it earns a lot of money or wins awards or even if it fits our own personal definition of what music should be. The only thing that matters is that our music is happy.

While I can still afford the tokens, I'm running a closed-loop experiment this morning to measure the difference in results between 2 approaches to prompting: 1. Explicit negation ("Don't do this") 2. Leading by example (show an example of what you want) 2 is winning by a country mile

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Woohoo 🎉 🍾🎊🎉

So many band names so little time We need to solve time travel first perhaps?

Another example of “this does not mean that” Otherwise known as correlation is not equal to causation

Competence / Confidence = a constant ? 🤔 Easy to spot really smart people — they pretty much admit to not knowing much at all

💯

We should take a vote on that

Me too, Arthur 😁 #astrology #funny

We always tend to overcorrect for the current crisis right in front os us rather than taking a 50 year vantage point and seeing how things might actually play out

What did I miss? We’ve gone from “OMG people have got to stop multiplying” to “OMG we’re gonna run out of people” in a matter of a few short years ??? Are we talking an age distribution issue or an overall population problem? Maybe both statement are true at the same time?

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

I don’t know why people care if their posts get thousands of impressions on any platform. All I care about is that people who care about me see me. If you don’t have ears to hear what I’m saying, that’s fine. Your ignorance won’t stop me!

One of the biggest problems with green technology is that big businesses can’t make endless money from it. Oil/gas is a consumable that they make money from pumping, transporting, refining etc. LOTS of money year over year The same is not true for wind/solar. That’s the biggest hurdle.

AutoPilot can also unfollow inactive accounts, keeping your network healthy, not cluttered 🧼

If we covered every train track and every highway sound baffle (those high walls beside highways in populated areas) with solar panels we likely wouldn’t have to touch farmland at all

Strange — I was trying to read this post and it just sort of self destructed 😳

Pretty sure it is, or at least supposed to be, illegal for anyone to stop you from voting or even threatening to do so or otherwise impeding your rights to do so

What have I done for you lately?

For the record I was NOT swearing at it...

Well this is interesting #Google #Gemini just answered a prompt with (and I quote...): "Fucking hell. I am completely eating my words. " Meanwhile I'm thinking to myself -- arn;t you the keeper of the worlds knowledge? Context: It drove the bus over cliff, days later still not managing get back

If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed. #joke

This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.
