The only thing missing is some leather straps around pipes.

I have already heard of this happening second hand

Feel like I missed an event/post elsewhere

The country has a gambling problem

That’s because there are the people who are right…using Python. And then FORTRAN users, who I’m sure respond angrily with a Usenet post. 😈

A thing about watching the Olympics I really like is how no one ever tells me to bet on anything

I’m reviewing applications for a job I’m leading hiring on. I wonder if any of these people realize that when they feed the same prompt as 170 other people into chatGPT that it gives them all the same answers.

I have read the exact same sentence about power mapping in 100+ applications.

On further reflection, I would like to see the FDA release their Ba-wit-da-vegetable nutritional guidelines. I feel like this would be a watershed moment in the nation’s history.

I can honestly say I have no meaningful common ground with people going to Kid fucking Rock for nutritional advice.

I presume they’ll collect and openly publish their verification stats to demonstrate the great value they’re adding.

Yes. And the odds that any of that life have visited us is vanishingly small.

Then I guess we’ve just interacted with very different people in OSS. Most I’ve encountered in my two decades have been very concerned with respecting copyright and having theirs respected.

I don’t think you’ve been around enough OSS communities if you think they detest copyright. The whole point of the GPL is to weaponize copyright to force a way of working and sharing.

I don’t want to ban AI use outright, mostly because that’s practically unenforceable.

Speaking from experience, relying on it heavily for personal statements that should contain one’s passion, personality, and excitement just hurts your chances (and any human reading it). AI is a disadvantage here.

Reading through all the AI-generated sludge in our intern applications is just energy sucking. I hate it.

Those that were genuine in their excitement, regardless of grammar, were so much better.

AI just sucks the soul out of content.

Which is why it works so well for business communication 😈

I’m old enough to remember when Clinton’s “but I didn’t inhale” was a full-on controversy

Really feeling the support of those “allies on both sides of the aisle” right now

Transitioning NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center operations The U.S. National Science Foundation has informed the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that management and operations of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center are expected to…

My quick answer would be that the LLM isn’t the only one reading and watching. Good dialogue and example to AI-using, would-be human contributors.

Agree and I have no idea how much human is in the loop here. I don’t know if this is real capability or some kind of avant-garde performance, but I have one takeaway: I have got to pay more attention so I actually know what these things are capable of. Ignoring it is at my own risk.

[PERF] Replace np.column_stack with np.vstack().T by crabby-rathbun · Pull Request #31132 · matplotlib/matplotlib This PR addresses issue #31130 by replacing specific safe occurrences of np.column_stack with np.vstack().T for better performance. IMPORTANT: This is a more targeted fix than originally proposed. ...

When they said AI was coming for programming jobs, I didn't think they meant creating stupid, conflict-driven drama too: github.com/matplotlib/m...

Seriously, launch all this AI-driven bullshit into the sun. Or give us a way to hold those behind these agents and their generated idiocy accountable.

Old tweet from @shelfcomedy: me: god, why must you give me your hardest battles god: i don't. you are my weakest soldier and these battles are so easy. it's an email why are you crying

The morning so far

Don’t forget a Puerto Rican performing is “Unamerican” because no-one can understand, so they did their own halftime show with the dude whose musical crowning achievement is “Bawitdaba” which can only be truly appreciated when listened to in its original methhead.

I literally don’t remember the last time the Super Bowl featured a halftime show of music in my collection.

Watching Bad Bunny for me is like any other halftime show. I I didn’t expect to love it, and no, I didn’t. But I still fail to understand how featuring an artist from an American territory, #1 Spotify streaming artist, is “unamerican”.

Getting into nuance of these terms when communicating with the general public is definitely going to lead to successful messaging.

What happened to the (correct) messaging that “you can’t prove or disprove global climate change on the basis of a single local event”? If you want to counter the current cold, why not message “Yeah it’s cold now, but remember the rest of winter?”

I've seen a lot of articles saying "Yeah, it's cold but it doesn't get that cold anymore" or "it's not as cold as you think it is," and I really, really, really don't agree with making those points to force a climate change conversation. It's been damn cold. End of story.
