678 was my Grandpa's phone number. He had to prefix a zero to it when they made the phone numbers 4 digits long.

If you have a web site you need to ask AI if you need to worry about this PHP thing. A lot of people out there need to do stuff quickly.

Over that last few months I have been writing some of the best software of my life via poorly constructed and formed prompts with so many spelling errors even a human could not understand what I am trying to convey.

I subscribe to the idea that the reason we lost AI models yesterday was due to the government testing an emergency AI kill switch.

Why are all the AI coding models being rate limited or unavailable today? I have work to do!

Wanted to provide some context here for many of you wondering about the photo I showed Richard Doty. That photo was not mine to share publicly and in hindsight, I should have just cut that part out. Perhaps I kept it in selfishly to show you his reaction to the photo and this was my mistake. I am working with the person who took this photo in hopes of putting all of the related information to their case out there. But for now, the person who took it would not like it to be public. It's not a super clear photo but a series of images that depicts what appears to be a 3-4ft tall being with large eyes and insect like arms. This was followed by missing time from a very credible witness. Again, actively trying to get this out there and prematurely hinted to it before being allowed to share the image publicly. That was an error in my own judgement. I do not enjoy those gatekeeping weirdos and found myself becoming one in this situation. I’ll share more as soon as I can.

They are letting people test drive the Tesla Semi in Totowa NJ. You can order one now for march delivery.

It boggles my mind that I can write a week's worth of software by typing these words into Cursor: "yeah, do that"

I'm telling you it was Rose's fault the Titanic hit the iceberg. 1: She made fun of the manager for being obsessed with the size of the ship. He then pivoted to promoting the speed and told the captain to light all the boilers. 2: Rose and Jack burst onto the deck and distracted the lookouts. When they looked back they saw the iceberg which may have cost them several seconds of reaction time. James Cameron denies it but it seems like it was a strong message in the movie. 3: the CGI in this movie was better than a lot of modern big budget movies.

SpaceX was able to re-light the engines on starship and drive it back to the launch pad!

I was sent this from my friend and I did not realize this was AI since the guy holding the keg looks like me from the 80s and the other people look just like my friends from the 80s . Also it looks just like something we would have done in the 80s

You need to be aware that Cursor can overwrite your files and silently remove your hand-made changes periodically. If you asked it to do some work on a folder (outside your current workspace) it will cache those files. Anytime you open cursor or possibly when it shrinks its context it will overwrite the files that it worked on. As long as the current chat that accessed those files is open it will do this periodically, wiping out all of your hand-made changes - even if the files are not open in the Cursor UI. I have not confirmed if starting a new chat window will cause it to stop this behavior.

The DEA has arrested several men who were attempting to smuggle 50 gallons of ranch dressing into Europe. The estimated street value is over 10 million Euros.

Hoping SpaceX stays above $150 so I can justify it.

Authorities are warning Europeans visiting the United States: do not drink the blue slushie too fast. Several tourists have already been hospitalized after their tongues turned neon and they started speaking only in brain freeze.

Cursor stopped connecting to its models and when I opened a browser and asked Gemini if Cursor was down, it "said try again later..."

On July 19th, it will be illegal for my 12-year-old daughter to ride her under-20 mph pedal-assist e-bike in NJ. The new law requires riders to be 15+ with a license/permit and registration — even for low-speed models. Yet she can still legally ride an under-20 mph e-scooter with no age, license, or registration restrictions. #NJEbikeLaw It should be noted that kids tear around our neighborhood on quads and dirt bikes all the time.

This is a good alternative to the degrading Reece’s peanut butter cups quality.
