Soon:
Cats are majority brown, gray, orange, black, and (gasp) mixed. They’re lying immigrants, decimating the white mice of this land.
The genital folding will continue until morale flexibility improves.
Asked my buddy who is an L7/Principal at AWS with years of experience if this would affect him. He laughed. Said he had already decided to quit in January. This just clinched it. Said they kept hiring entry-level L4s. Lots more senior people going to leave.
Finland edition, where it apparently started. Action starts at 4:20m in.
Good, wholesome fun.
That’s what you might call, a career-limiting decision.
RemindMe! 3y “reply to this thread”.
Anyone who has played the ‘Risk’ board game has an idea what the next moves should be.
Easy fix.
Tweezers.
When you realize how many wars were averted because of them.
Good read. Sad ending that all that work ended up nowhere.
Country is doomed. I was the best. January 6th rioters were victims. Inflation is their fault. Criminal immigrants, eating your cats and dogs.
When it came to Roe v Wade, he turned it into state rights (sadly, nobody pointed out that was the same, pro-slavery Civil War argument).
Then she said people in his rallies were bored and were walking out. That’s when he spun out of control…
It was amazing, watching how easy it was for her to get under his thin skin.
NEW feature: As you drive down the road, Ford cars will automatically take over and drive you to the nearest sponsor location. Hungry? It will take over and swerve into the nearest KFC drive-thru. Next stop, CVS pharmacy, then Office Depot.

When this whole ‘training’ trend started a few years ago, there were companies offering image and video labelling services.
It turned out they were mostly sweatshops in low-income countries, where people sat in front of monitors and just dragged boumding boxes around sections of images and picked from an icon menu. Here’s a car, here’s a person, here’s an apple. That sort of thing. You didn’t even need to know how to read or write.
Of course, the quality was questionable, so they needed a second layer of supervisors verifying the choices. But even with that, the cost was way lower than having an engineer or QA person do it. IIRC, there was a bit of hue and cry when stories came out of big tech companies supporting sweatshop conditions.
Sounds like it’s still ongoing.
VW announced a $5B joint venture with Rivian a couple months ago. Wonder how all this will affect that deal?

Back in college, a local doughnut shop would open at 3am to start making the run for the day. If you were stoned or pulling an all-nighter, it was worth the 15m walk. They would sell you fresh, warm doughnuts out the back.
Nowadays, a lot of places do the fresh doughnut thing. But it’s not the same, getting it at 3am.

There’s a model with a more expensive dock, or one without. The one without worked fine. But it had to be the Box 3 not Box 2. It worked pretty well and you could create custom images to indicate whether it was listening, thinking, etc.
Instructions here: https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/s3_box_voice_assistant/
The box isn’t powerful enough to run an LLM itself. It’s just good enough as an audio conduit. You can either use their cloud integration with ChatGPT, or now, Anthropic Claude. But if you had a powerful Home Assistant server, say an Nvidia Jetson or a PC with a beefy Nvidia GPU, you could run local models like Llama and have better privacy.
This is from earlier this year. I imagine they’ve advanced more since then.
Last time, it didn’t go so well for the robot:
