(not my meme, but I'll add) Some missing context - Professor Chang, pictured in the meme - is also shouting at something that clearly isn't gay.

Professor Chang is essentially a continuous uncomfortable non-sequiter of nonsense.

Lol. When I retire, I'm going to change all my job titles on social media to "entrepreneur" just to fuck with my friends.

Yes. I love the confidently incorrect additional comments explaining in detail how the incorrect code works.

Though I'm usually pretty angry at that point, it is also pretty funny.

Yes, that's the joke.

AI creates almost (but not) good enough stuff really fast. And occasionally straight up hallucinates stuff that is meaningless or worse.

So this person has a huge stack of functional but broken crap, and it's blaming X for their woes.

There's an old saying that goes roughly "It takes four times the experience to maintain a program as it took to write it. So anyone writing the most clever program they can think of is, by definition, not competent to maintain it."

In this case, it's extra funny, because neither the AI nor the AI user has the faintest idea how the generated code works. So maintaining it is almost certainly 1000% outside their abilities.

So they've paid an AI for the privilege unpleasant daily panic of learning everything they need to learn after the app has gone to production, rather than before.

Tensions swelled in the 1980s amid a growing debate over strategy, when the American leadership of the union shifted toward a less aggressive position while the Canadian side wanted to maintain firm pressure on the auto companies.

Correlates with when a lot of Americans bit down hard on the fishhook of Reaganomics.

ISBN Search is a non-monopolist source of the same information.

Agreed. And either way, they remember me fondly later when they're ready for their next job switch...

As a hiring manager, I hear "my position is a one year contract" fairly regularly. It tells me a couple things:

• 1. This person is talent I wouldn't have access to if not for the expiring contract.
• 2. There's a solid chance that the current employer gets off their ass and makes a permanent offer when they realize I've made an offer.

Honestly, neither is a negative, to me.

• Regarding 1, I do like when I get a shot at talent that wouldn't normally be on the market. I have a track record of successfully recruiting and retaining those folks.
• Regarding 2, Knowing there's a chance their current employer will counter-offer is pretty normal for the talent I hire. I already account for that when making my job offers.

So overall, as others have said, I would just tell the truth about this. Everyone has a right to look out for their job security.

Holy title gore, Batman.

But anyway, hooray.

"We have some exciting news to share: our talented developers gave Steam Deck players the option to play Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch; despite initially announcing we wouldn’t be able to support until later,"

Edit: We just wanted to deny that we're not not going to do the thing at said we wouldn't not be able to do.

Neat. I don't use Google products voluntarily, but good luck!

In my experience

That's great, and that's why it's an option.

But research consistently shows that everyone is different and has different learning needs.

More ways to learn means more people succeed in learning.

Now your specific question is still quite interesting, with emphasis added to default:

Why it is not the default option for universities?

I think online is rapidly becoming the default for anything that can be learned online, for anyone who can learn online.

But I'm thankful that we have both community colleges and universities for things that cannot be effectively taught online and for people who needs more modes of learning.

Yeah. Every farmer I've met was also a solid mechanic.

That's pretty plausible. Inexperienced engineer plus overheating...good chance that adds up to a malware infection.

Yeah. Hiring inexperienced children into government isn't fraud, by itself. But I bet it makes fraud way easier.

has Elmo only hired people who claim that they can "wrangle data" and say "yes" ?

There's two issues going on:

1. Elmo's sociopathic approach to laying people off is public knowledge, and top experts have the luxury of not even applying for his jobs.
2. Elmo's ability to judge engineering talent has likely been wildly exaggerated thanks to how he has successfully bought organizations full of talented people, in the past.

Im not sure what is going to happen when I have kids

For me, it went like this:

• I'm afraid I'll drop or hurt this tiny helpless child.
• But this tiny helpless child can't even go drink milk by itself.
• I guess I can only make things better helping it get milk. I'll just be really careful.
• That wasn't so bad. I guess I can do this.

Then repeat in stages every 15 minutes or so as it needs diapers, or cuddles to warm up, or cleaned, or milk again, or diapers again.

Until eventually I'm confidently picking it up in a moment of complete terror so that it won't run out into traffic.

The Planet of the Apes musical.

This one threw my head for a spin. Had to take a deep dive to disentangle what was original and what the Simpsons added.

And frankly, some of the Simpsons musical numbers would have done the original films credit.

You'll laugh!.You'll cry! You'll kiss three bucks goodbye!

...Maybe I'm the plucky comic relief...

Yeah! The wild part is that many hardcore Trek fans - myself included, of course - just take it for granted that Galaxy Quest will be included, and toward the top end, of any ranking of Trek films.
