Plan 9?

But he sure could find the boy scout’s ass.

Except the US is the little brother and the big brother is the world standing there in bewildered amazement as the US punches its own face over and over for no reason.

Government’s panicked response to Banksy works cost public whatever.

LLM agents are writing English (…) documents, ostensibly for human review and consumption, but 90%+ of what I have my LLM agents write is exclusively consumed by other agents, … and accessed by other agents - it seems like the English translation is pretty useless for that layer …

But remember, the LLM is trained on human language. It doesn’t understand what it is talking about, it just simulates humans talking about it. I don’t think there is a more fundamental token stream there to be uncovered.

Nononono this is number 543654 on our list. Currently we are all required to concentrate on (checks notes) deforestation in Brazil.

That’s identifying a problem. Then various solutions need to be proposed and their interactions with other parts of the system considered. If it’s as trivial as “make them lighter” then perhaps that’s it. But very often there is a lot more to implementing the chosen solution.

Must one? One would rather not.

That depends on the lock. Mine doesn’t.

You’d think that they’d recover in the intervening (looks at calendar) 40ish years since Regan, if there weren’t other systemic problems.

Same. When I recognized the shapes to be strawberries, they slowly faded to red.

I certainly haven’t seen one in 10 years of living in Italy. But they might hide one in Milano.

Starbucks has arrived, though. Just a handful in the largest cities. I haven’t been inside one, but I hope they’re full of tourists.

You’re confusing Starbucks with anything Italian. They’re an entirely American purveyor of milk shakes.

Sure. I’m not heaping on the Chinese. But we mustn’t allow ourselves to think that this is all solved now. Emissions are still increasing. There is still a lot of work to do.

Even so, coal use is still rising in absolute terms. Output from thermal power plants increased in the first half as electricity demand grew, partly driven by high-tech manufacturing, electric-vehicle charging and data centers. Coal’s share fell as cleaner sources expanded even faster.

So things are still getting worse, just not at the rate that they would have.

OK, I’ll be that one person downvoting you. It wasn’t about killing brown people. They don’t give a fuck about brown people. It is all about power and the graft and so on and those brown people are just expendable.

I mean, the fresh stuff is certainly better. Also, Barilla isn’t that awesome. I don’t know what you have available, but I live in Italy and I never buy Barilla. (Although I’d like to thank them for being a large contributor to my adopted city’s finances.)

But yeah, time things so that the sauce is ready when the pasta becomes ready. The sauce won’t suffer for sitting for a few minutes.

Don’t leave your pasta hanging.

You try telling the youth of today that, and they won’t believe you.
