Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy aka Milou is very excited about the drink he has found.

A rocky outcrop in the centre of the scene, with boulders and pebbles scattered around. In the distance, some gently rolling hills, and endless sand. All under a butterscotch sky.

You live in a time when you can see on your phone high-res photos taken over the weekend by a nuclear-powered rover on Mars.

i already have the daily experience of doing the same things over and over without any illusion of progress

And "summarizing" emails from coworkers is very alarming to me, especially if they're writing emails with LLMs. One person uses a lossy amplifier to expand their thoughts into an email, the other person uses a lossy filter to compress them back

saw a reddit comment on the lenghth of modern dev cycles earlier that stuck with me:

"The PS2 had three Grand Theft Autos, GTA5 had three Playstations"

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Supply AND demand? In this economy?

I smell MTU size issue

samuel l jackson making 抱拳 gesture while wearing festive red 瓜皮帽 and 唐裝 against a background of horses, gold ingots, lanterns, fireworks, and flowers, captioned 馬的發可, which literally translates roughly to “horses bringing prosperity” for the year of the horse, but is both a pun on the chinese 媽的 “damn, fuck, motherfucker” and, when pronounced in mandarin, is mǎdefākě, which sounds like “motherfucker” in english, or, more accurately, like “muthafucka” in african american english

Little image I made of the Transit Adviser from SimCity 2000, but it says: "YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON SELF-CARE! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"

A clock made out of gold-colored metal and glass. It has an analog clock face, and below the clock face are four golden spheres (which rotate like a pendulum when it's operating). The clock itself is under a glass dome.

I bet there's zero correlation between AI code being pushed everywhere and half of the internet crashing every other week.

I didn't know they just bought the wafers, not even actual memory.
