I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

I've been thinking about mini brackets! Gotta determine the best of the fries cuts/methods to present the best case in the main bracket.

Darth do you have potato dishes you think are must haves for Starch Madness? 👀

They really want those Microsoft DoD subscriptions

first of all if you have my post notifications on I'm sorry

It’s a size/weight class thing. Anything under 250g is “non-commercial”, but even the bigger ones just need a tail number. Flight auths are largely automated during takeoff time

But they’re also devices that are legally obligated to constantly transmit their location, heading, and visual remotely

This is where things are gonna get messy fast, too. A lot of laws have to change before you can do that without it being a felony is the actual problem

Pommes aligot is absolutely going in this bracket and now I’m hungry

You’re so right. We gotta go full Starch Madness

It’s 2025 and Instagram just got reposting as a feature

The question is just which 32 potato dishes to start with

People claim that Emacs is an operating system. In this paper, I will show that Vi is the successor to Unix System V.

I’m gonna do a sluttiest potato bracket

The vi/emacs wars are actually a product of capitalism injecting competition into a developing job market and in this essay I will…

The idea that this graph shows user bleeding is honestly a good example of why most startups fall apart. Graph shows numbers normalizing out to a 600% YoY growth, excellent pace…

The biggest threat to WotC in that regard is likely to be Hasbro. They very intentionally keep WotC crippled and unable to move on very many things. If they keep WotC financially crippled WotC can’t buy themselves out, and Hasbro without WotC probably collapses

I actually wish I were this year, I’d be able to have fun for once. Being unattached to a company is an interesting observation experience

I’m not a furry, but bringing whimsy to Blackhat was my calling I know it

Where are the furries at? Blackhat needs some mf WHIMSY, everyone looks so stiff

And internally! I know lots of folks at WotC, that place is queer as hell. It’s just disrespect and greed all the way down

Oh god could you imagine a wild hog population of any size in WA? It’d be absolute chaos

Literally every time I come up for air from work shit some new asshole is on the scene pretending we just don’t exist. It’s such a wild experience

I should start making and selling bacon again 🤔

Surprise, I do stuff 😀
