This dude (famous for “do you guys not have phones?”) actually has a pretty good YouTube series on interesting ways to tackle programming challenges. He’s got one on randomness that I thought was pretty cool: https://youtu.be/2anY9ICA-Pg

What the fuck is an “AI music career”? Like, they’re writing prompts for AI songs and then hoping people will pay money for this songs?

I had a coworker named Frank. Frank was not the smartest guy. He wasn’t even the biggest guy. But Frank could EAT. He took a first date to a pizza place once and split an 18" pizza. The date had a slice. Frank ate the rest.

Around 2007 or so, there was this milk challenge thing floating around where people online were trying to drink a gallon of milk. All of them inevitably failed, because that is a shit load of milk. However, Frank was convinced that he could do it. So much so that he was willing to put money on it. We had a conversation like this.

Me: Frank, no way can you drink a gallon of milk. It’s too much.

Frank: Absolutely I can. Wait. Can it be chocolate milk?

Me: Sure, Frank. Normal. Chocolate. Doesn’t matter.

Frank: Oh then absolutely I can.

As dumb as Frank was though, he was actually smart…ish on this one. Before doing it at work with money on the line, he wanted to do it at home first. So he went home that night and tried it.

Next day, Frank surprisingly wasn’t at work. He had called in sick. When he finally came back, I asked him how his attempt went. Frank didn’t want to talk about it.

Yeah, my beef was that I had to present that diagram to a review board today. So ain’t no way was I gonna present slop that didn’t make any sense.

It’s kind of weird that one dude could get hit by a bus and suddenly billions of devices would stop getting timezone updates.

It’s definitely not a good sign when we’re talking about a picture of Hitler being a Nazi is AI generated, but it’s a given that Hegseth being a Nazi is legitimate.

Ugh, this just reminded me that I had a system architecture document written up at work but needed a diagram to go along with it. One of our enterprise architects recommended that I just feed the document into their new AI diagramming tool.

I will say, it was very nice that it did the whole thing in less than a minute. I wasn’t a big fan how it was completely wrong. The only thing I can think of is that more people prefer pretty pictures done quickly rather than accurate pictures that take time.

Funny that it knows this, yet chooses to ignore it.

and even dropped a new ad on Tuesday.

I feel like that should have been in the headline as well. Not only did he confirm he was committing crimes and wasn’t sorry, he committed additional crimes just to rub it in.

See Exhibit A: Trump

Kurzgesagt put out an interesting video on that Open AI hack that was in the news recently.

Also, I’m not saying AI companies shouldn’t be held liable. But they definitely don’t know what the fuck they’re unleashing.

1 pedal driving doesn’t use brake pads to slow down your car. You still have brakes in case of an emergency, but if you’re using them enough to wear out your brake pads then you’re doing something wrong. As someone else pointed out, you’re much more likely to rust off your brake pads rather than wear them out.

I had this saved from 2017 apparently

Oooof.

I love it.

RIP Tim Curry

Yeah Accutane requires regular blood tests to make sure it’s not killing you. Probably not great to prescribe without a real doctor.

See the unpopular opinions thread on blowjobs being mid.

Reminds me of the Mean, Scary Girlfriend skit on SNL this weekend: https://youtu.be/JA-3yNaHHS8

I remember going to Megadeth concerts when I was a teenager and absolutely just rocking balls and almost dying in the moshpit. Now I’m like “this concert better have seating, cause I’ll be damned if I’m standing up all night.”

Anyone else find it hilarious that John Cena is supposed to be super tough, but wrestles in jorts?
