Don’t change horses midstream

Fuck that, put those horses down and turn them into glue.

“Please mister truck driver can you sound the horn?”

The issue is that we’re trying to put everyone on a linear scale A pants has a length and a circumference. Both can be measured in cm. How about putting both numbers on the size label and drop the random numbers they use now? Same applies for other cloths, all of those have a few specific measuring points. Again perfectly measurable and expressable in cm.

Make sense, next step remove the water from the oceans to find the submarines and all gasses from the air to prevent airplanes from flying. And lastly, blow up satellites to trigger a Kessler syndrome and prevent ballastic missles from getting through.

If you’re young and healthy, don’t worry, there is still a job that AI can’t take away! So sign up today for your new carreer as human bloodbag.

Then, I have the difficult role to inform you, you’re not part of the rich and powerfull.

That would be some uncreative writing. What’s next? We all wake up and Trumps re-election was just a dream?

Why send them pictures of the US government?

Ofcourse they don’t allow that! That thing is horrible unsave. Feels like they invented in during the French revolution and never gave any thought about operator safety. Who knows how many people died because of this thing?

Send them back. They left without cleaning up their mess, that’s not how we’re raised.

Republicans are obsessed with genitals. Maybe if we all send them a picture they can get it out of their system and finally grow up.

I used Claude to code something. The thing is, it happilly creates the code, which looks quite professionally, and is soooo positive about itself. Then you try to run it, which ofcourse doesn’t work. Next you feed it the error messages and it very very happilly fixes those bugs, all while being very fond of itself. After a few rounds of that, the code actually runs and does something.

Now I can get that it doesn’t work from the first try, ours won’t be 100% correct either, but the mistakes it makes tend to be because it mixes information of different versions of libraries.

And why is the damn thing so fond of itself? Everything it does it find “perfect”.

The trick is to start an online business using AI and earn enough money to offset the extra hardware cost caused by AI use.

If your accound is permabanned, can you even buy any Reddit Gold?

it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

A few years ago my employer was the victim of randsomware. We’re speaking here about a massive network and all sorts of databases and services build on top of those, spanning decades and many different technologies. Basicly several thousand employees and a decade long focus on working digital and automation. Data restoration was not an issue. I haven’t heard of anyone losing data.

However, restarting all the services was not as easy. Many of these depended on each other and there were some circular dependencies that have grown organicily over the years. Took about two months to restore core functionality (mostly SAP and email) and many more months to restore all sorts of support services that were required for normal day-to-day work. Two years after the incident the last applications were back online.

I wanted to make a reference to the Midas touch, but the Cheetos touch has a strong icky feeling to it.

but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? Until these display my health, ammo and the direction to my next objective, I’ll pass.

Given the national climate, people were not only glad to have a Democrat come to their door,

To be fair, based on who’s going door-to-door these days, that isn’t that much of an achiement. Still, each time I read one of these victories, it does make me smile.

To be honest, I expect things to get a lot worse after the midterms. I think people still feel like it’s something they can do to change things, but after that I won’t be surprise to see a lot more of this from both sides.

Exactly, investigate everything even if it takes, say, 3 years.
