First and last snowboard lesson. Long time ago. Never again.

For those like me, who had never heard of Tim Walz until recently, here's an August 2, 2024 episode of the Ezra Klein podcast with an interview: https://pod.link/1548604447

Now imagine how big the crowd would be for Harris!

Or don't.

Because until 2017, nobody gave a crap about the size of the crowd. Normal Presidents have had more important things to think about in their first 100 days in office.

A friend gave me the best career advice years ago: make a personal portfolio site.

He said nobody really reads through resumes anymore. A portfolio with lots of screenshots or photos, and a very short paragraph works best. Also tack on a resume for those who ask for it.

Organized by category, date, or whatever makes sense. You can use a blogging engine like Wordpress, or a static hosting platform like Jeckyll or Hugo. Assign it a simple domain (like .work or .portfolio). Keep it updated with latest clippings.

Then whenver someone asks, just point them at the site. Print it on a biz card, make custom stickers, etc.

If you want free hosting, check out Github Pages.

How to stop violent death-threats.

There has been a lot of work done in the unix universe to reduce boot times: https://www.e-consystems.com/articles/Product-Design/Linux-Boot-Time-Optimization-Techniques.asp

A lot of it has to do with deferring services not needed immediately till later. The same could be done for Android.

Just spent a week manually moving everything off Authy. Total pain, but there are lots of better solutions out there now.

At some point in the future, there will be LLMs that will scan all voice, video, or text calls and do sentiment analysis. If they flag a call as hostile, they could send a signal to all intermediate network conduits that this person is a threat and will essentially 'unmask' their origin. Authorities can then take appropriate action.

If we're lucky, laws will be passed to enable it just for cases of assholes threatening someone they don't like. And after a few public lawsuits, the whole doxxing/swatting/death-threat thing will cease to exist.

More likely, it'll be used by governments to stifle dissent. But you gotta dream 😔

Thank you. Will look into it.

I'vd tried multiple times to convert existing code or createnew ones using LLMs. The first attempts are OK, but once you start refining the prompts, they all go off-the-rails.

Most of the time, the generated code uses old or deprecated libraries or APIs. You point that out and they correct it. But a few iterations later, you're refining something else and the old, deprecated calls come back. Once again, you point it out and it gets corrected.

Forget trying to correct it yourself by hand, because now it's diverged from the LLM context. And this can happen in multiple places in the code. Rinse. Repeat.

At some point you just give up. Either it's wrong or it will be wrong in different ways later. You have to read through every line to find strange, divergent errors. Over and over. It gets exhausting.

At the end, it feels like maybe you could have done it faster and more quickly yourself, but the time has already been sunk.

Anything they go after today is 18-24 months out. Chasing after AI would be pretty risky. Desktops and laptops are moving to ARM and RISC-V. Their best bet is to go after whatever enterprise data centers will need a couple of years from now.

If I were laying bets, it would be to go after power and heat efficiency. Like, hard. Take their time out in the wilderness, then come back with chips that save the planet from climate collapse.

AOL.

If only for their resilience.

Good luck with all the inane shitposts.

Every car show, they put out 'concept cars' that will never see the light of day.

'New batteries' are giving off the same vibe.

Dimanche, he explained that “potentially dangerous individuals" have been caught applying to work or volunteer at the Olympics, including 257 radical Islamists, 181 members of the far left, and 95 from the far right.

My BS sensor is pinging hard on this.

Then again, how can you question Mr. Sunday?

The Constitutional Amendment is more bulletproof, but a much heavier lift.

This one will end up at SCOTUS, with an expected outcome. Slow moving trains and all.

Yee, the men’s winner, said athletes just have to trust organizers when they say the conditions are safe.

“I’m sure we’ll find out in due time if that’s correct,” he said.
