Yep. I’m a native Spanish speaker and I’m also old. Spanish is similar to German in that the male version of words is already gender neutral. But there’s a huge effort to make it truly gender neutral, and I understand the reason and support the idea. Having lived many years in an English speaking country and in corporate environments, I use “they” in English without even thinking. It comes naturally to me, especially as a manager talking about people I manage, to protect their identity.

But there’s no way in hell I’m using gender neutral Spanish because it sounds extremely stupid to me. It’s a complete distortion of the language, and I have to make a huge effort not to think less of people who use it. None of my friends or family uses it.

Ah, good to know. I was wondering why Cory would be giving conspiracy theorists any attention. 😅

Is that a conspiracy spreading or a conspiracy skeptic podcast?

How would you know if an image is AI generated? That was easy to do in the past, but have you seen what they are capable of now?

I guess you never heard about perspective, if you think that photo is proof. Look it up, it’s not that complicated.

Over and out.

Have you heard of perspective? And do you know the height of the people standing behind him?

He may as well be tall, but please don’t tell me you’re going to die on that ridiculous hill.

… That photo is what you consider proof of his height? Are you serious?

You specifically said BitTorrent. Do you know how that works?

Wait, you think all YouTube content is available in torrents?

If you skip the first part of stupid motorcycle videos, I’d say yes. It’s long but it goes into detail.

You’ll be able to save websites as NFTs! Yay!!!

Everything an LLM outputs is hallucinated. That’s how it works. Sometimes the hallucination matches reality, sometimes it doesn’t.

Audiobooks for the deaf? Excuse me?

I should know, I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years and an engineering manager for over 10. I’ve promoted many engineers.

I don’t know what L4 and L5 map to in your company, but usually the gap between levels widens the higher the level. It’s much easier to go from entry-level (recent graduate) to mid-level, than from senior to staff. The skills required to make that jump are much harder to acquire, there’s less opportunities to put them in practice and a lot more dependencies on external factors you don’t have control over.

That’s traditionally called “promotion”. So they’re not promoting employees anymore?

There’s very few people on the internet who I trust enough to give them complete control of my browser. Randall is definitely one of them, probably the top one.

Spam away sir.

Yeah, that middle row works incredibly well on its own, but he needed to add some geek angle or it wouldn’t be xkcd. :)

Phones bought in the US work in Europe and vice versa.

Awesome, thanks!
