Man, BYU could win another national championship and people would still be saying A-rod makes boring calls and Kalani lacks a killer instinct.

Anytime I’ve seen a party win decisively, it seems to almost always come with a complete misunderstanding (or exaggeration) of why swing voters moved and what the winning side’s mandate actually is.

Having fun this weekend with a vibe-codes custom chess tutor that reads and analyses my games every night, generates custom exercises meant to target specific weaknesses, and uses SRS to try to get it to stick. Super fun!
The models are very good at creating custom spaced repetition apps with algorithms adapted to you and the problem domain ("review my learning and improve the efficiency of your scheduler") plus tailored explanations for anything that you consistently get wrong.

Apparently, the most offensive thing you could say to a flight attendant is to ask them if they can take trash, when they, in fact, cannot.

Toxicity inside your org is like a fire you try and try and try to put out, until it burns down everything it touches.

I need to make sure I have just enough battery power so I can play Ocarina of Time during the apocalypse this week.

I totally get that some folks don’t like Halloween. What I don’t get are people who have to make sure everyone knows they hate Halloween.

We all know banning words just works.
BREAKING: President Trump says he is banning the terms “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI.”

sting op: leak dirty fake customer data and see which companies start mailing tracked accounts. Akin to tracking fake bills to find mafia connections.

Imagine completely missing the point of the Dune series…
Just rewatched Dune and MAN, I forgot how much of a drag Chani is. Just scene after scene of pouting and scowling while Paul unites her people and heroically leads them to victory over the outworlders that have plagued them for centuries. Truly the wettest of blankets.

We earn the right to deal with security (also scale) issues.
Well if you had never built or shipped anything or tried to do anything consequential ever at all we wouldn’t be having these security problems, now would we?
