[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. ...

I was there when Canter & Siegel posted the first notable spam. When you could openly telnet into friendly systems. Then it ended. This reminds me of the start of the Eternal September: github.com/matplotlib/m...

An AI agent writes code, AI does a pull request, gets rejected by a human (with a rational reason). Then the AI agent writes a flame post on a blog about it being discrimination against AI. The very bullet-pointy, highly questionable screed:

Demond Wilson, who played Lamont on 'Sanford and Son,' dies at 79 Demond Wilson, the actor who played the son on the seminal 1970s sitcom “Sanford and Son,” has died. He was 79.

As a kid I watched Sanford & Son, as it was on either before or after Star Trek. The theme song (along with Night Court and Taxi) makes me wonder why today's theme songs ain't got no soul.

Best use of a bass harmonica, along with The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel.

Man, the ISS is orbiting a little low these days.

(I used to watch the NASA feed, which had times like these).

Who else turns up the volume on your laptop or desktop when you walk away from your desk so you can keep listening... while you're using bluetooth earbuds or headphone?

Wait. What?

"Highlighted" should really be "highlit."

[Random Thought] LLMs cause any singularity to move further into the future: they depend on human generated input data and a reliance on LLMs drops the quality of human created data for training both AI and humans. LLMs tend to flatten the slope of advancement over sufficient time.

So last night the Ents started marching in on me. I have the beard, but I am not Saruman.

Talk about the rules for relationships or marriage all you want. But when it comes down to it, what works is when what makes them happy makes you happy, and what makes you happy makes them happy. An inversion of self into the union. And there's no way to demand or force it.

A more relatable version of a meme floating around. At least to some folks (that poor half-a-goldie!)

Pop, coke, highways, and going to the hospital are disappearing. AI narration seems to ignore these in favor of soda, freeways, and going to hospital. And this is now what we are learning from.

Our language is going to become Applebees: the same everywhere, flat and riblets.

Holy crap thought at 3am: did my dad like watching old Star Trek reruns, or did he like watching Star Trek with his eldest son?

I miss watching Trek with my wife and dad, who have both stepped into that Undiscovered Country, and while I enjoy it, I enjoyed it more with them.

A Star Trek fandom band that plays terrible music, each just a mess, and then as each player gets their solo, they break into perfect, wonderful music, then go back to slop when the band comes back in. Name: Ship of Barclays.

I honestly did not expect to see Star Trek pick up a goofy device from MASH in the announcements. But it really works well for this series. #sfa

"Vanilla mucus is not my jam." Also, hair and makeup is nailing it for the Chancellor. Lanthanites are among my favorite new species. I have a stream of thought post for the pilot, and I genuinely think her non-uniform outfits are motogear inspired. #sfa

In general, my JLab multipoint earbuds are great. Except that the most common lyric I hear, randomly, is "Bluetooth connected."

...when asked complex questions. This is not an improvement. This is placating the immature. I am ignorant about many things. That's okay.

So, right now I can ask Google Assistant a question and it will answer, "I'm sorry, I don't understand." Most world cultures are so terrified with losing face or causing others to lose face we can't accept that correct answer and are switching to LLMs that are wrong 60-70% of the time...

PHP is to a server as Lua is to NeoVim.

(I was considering the "PHP is not a language, it's a glue that happens to need to look like a language" concept, and that is not a bad explainer. Although I've made it mainstream from my original "as Lisp is to emacs")

One measure of experience, of life encompassed, is the ratio of giddiness versus sobbing when one is drunk. Youth is too often celebrated for the simple state of paucity of pain. But true pain requires having imbibed true joy.

We are a community here in Nashville. The mother church included. I love this.

(somebody will get it.)

I just had to `stty sane` and it made me realize just how long since I had to do that.

To be fair, I'm using a reference photo. I can see reasons to not want to have a provided person's photo mixed with modern law enforcement.

(Also, AI can't make a face reflecting out of a pool on fire, which I vaguely remember in 1981's Dragonslayer.)

I need a new AI image generator without content restrictions. I can no longer make urban fantasy handouts/promo for a LARP. I have a "fire elemental" and law enforcement aspect. No major AI will generate images set in the modern day with "violence" like fire and law enforcement.

Lol omg it'd a meeping angel

There are two types of coders using AI. The second type appends many prompts with, "Make no changes, give no code, just explain why this is happening and what needs to happen to fix this." DRY applies to communication too.

Can somebody please create a benchmark for various AI services that measures their speed of output in baud? I just had a flashback to the 300/1200 baud BBS era.

Well, this is fun. It is sort of limited, but the concept is great.
