Right?

If I didn't *know* that's how it actually worked, a lot of the alchemy stuff sounds way more plausible (and, I mean, they weren't entirely wrong; turns out you *can* transmute lead into gold and "the philosopher's stone" is a giant particle accelerator).

A grossly oversimplified, but accurate, description of how we make them is "we shine light on the rocks to make them think in electricity".

That building later became where Bellevue Community College had all their Cisco and MCSE classes.

Used to pop over to that BurgerMaster for dinner between classes.

My dad had a work-issued laptop with a particularly bizarre version of that.

Started out you'd have to bang the table next to it, progressed to a light thwack over the hard drive, then dropping the whole laptop from ~1/2", then 3/4", then 1"... made it up to ~10" before they replaced it.

That is a mighty bold claim on their part given that, in my experience, galvanized steel and concrete are merely chew-resistant.

We've aged out of finding random boxes of shock sensitive explosives in a basement (which was a very real thing).

The issue with unexploded ordinance isn't so much the explosives becoming shock sensitive (which does happen) as it is "something malfunctioned and bumping it could make it work".

"Buddy up with legal" may be the single greatest "hack" for corporate politics.

Finance *thinks* they run the company, legal actually does.

If you can convince legal something needs to be done, finance can't say shit.

Being in a position where you don't face imminent starvation/ruin if you aren't working is incredibly freeing. It means you can say "no". Having that option in the back of your mind is an endless source of dopamine hits. Because now it's a *choice* and *you're* in control.

I feel like holding a fountain pen makes any explicit Ink Pervert revelation a redundant formality. It's just implied.

Coeur d'Alene District Office | Bureau of Land Management The Coeur d’Alene District, located in the northern panhandle of Idaho, manages approximately 230,000 acres of public land. The District encompasses 11 counties, bordering Canada to the north, Montana...

BLM is federal, so state shouldn't matter.

That said, there's an office in Coeur d'Alene. I mean, if you're already driving 300 miles, what's another 20?

Hopefully evidence in a future trial.

Bureau of Land Management?

Not a lot of BLM land west of the Cascades in WA.

I want to say there's an office in Spokane.

I know there's one in Portland.

Somebody please make it project a dick, somebody please make it project a dick, somebody please...

But correct.

If anything, charitable.

Screenshot of a text message telling the recipient that they have purportedly been given an “official order direct from the Oval Office” to take an online survey.

There is no fucking way this wording is legal.

I am sorry to inform you, but it is very much a thing.

It usually goes far better than you’d expect… except for when it goes exactly as badly as you’d expect.

Did a quick check, those are just the allergens. There's corn in them. I guess Korea doesn't require all packaging to contain the ingredient list.

The milk came from cows who ate corn. You cannot escape the corn.

Dear companies

If you’re going to make me use an app for what is obviously just a website, you should make sure your app renders that website correctly.

That is the only reason for that app to exist. To ensure things get rendered the way they are intended. I doubt “unusably cut off” is intended.

Sounds like a good day

Someone needs to remind them that the death penalty isn’t a threat to someone with no desire to live.

Just sharing his thoughts on ICE

I wonder how much influence all the "nuke it from orbit" memes/comments in the training data had.

Because the LLM doesn't know those weren't serious. It's just spitting out a statistical probability of what a human would say... if its context is that turning keys on a spider is the thing to do...

I wonder what role all the "Nuke it from orbit" memes/comments in the training data is playing in this.

It really is depressing how much of human progress is the direct result of our seemingly insatiable desire to murder each other

At least withe Juicero everyone with even a passing familiarity with product development and DFM had a good laugh at the press teardowns.

I suspect this is just going to be a normal coffee maker with an ESP32 duct taped on.

Most of the pentagon food places close by 4pm.

The original wasn't based on Google data. It was based on calling the nearest places and asking what the wait time would be on a pie.

If it was a "nothing special" night but *all* of them were backed up... there might be something going on.

It's absolutely valuable; it's pretty much the most impactful and direct "*THIS* is why you pay us" you can put in a presentation/report.

I'm just not sure about its operational usefulness since it depends on other orgs getting popped. Which, for legal purposes, you definitely have no control over.

A man in a suit drives a car while speaking into a handheld recorder. Text reads: “Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.”

“I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.”

Hopefully we won't still have "load bearing" LLMs in 30 years.

Can we please have learned at least that much? Please?...
