That would be JR Conlin, national treasure. Worked with him on YDN in 2007 and Netflix in 2009; veterans of the Netflix API team will never forget his hack day entry, which was "Mac and Me" playing on a toaster oven.

Most languages prioritize human expressiveness and can be challenging for AI. Duso is intentionally boring and predictable. No clever syntax tricks. No multiple ways to do the same thing. Every pattern is consistent and straightforward so AI can reason about code reliably, write better scripts faster, and use fewer tokens doing it.

Last night I heard Morgan Freeman solemnly intone the word "thagomizer" on Episode 2 of Netflix's The Dinoosaurs, and simultaneously felt very old but also very good.

If I were an evil person I would be thinking about how to get the Walmart bot to talk to the Amazon bot.

r/DataHoarder is a national treasure. That's it, that's the tweet.

Data sets 10 and 11 have zip archives; no archive available for data set 9. And no idea how many pages are actually in here; I'm in the 6000s and climbing with no end in sight.

Some pages, like this one:

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures/data-set-9-f...

... all show the same set of files, starting with EFTA00039025.pdf and ending with EFTA00039881.pdf. This is the same page you get when you ask for page 0.

Not sure how to find the end of this dataset ... setting up the server to supply an infinite number of busted Next links with something important on page 8675309 seems like a fine way to keep things hidden.

Beef <= cows <= corn <= fertilizer <= oil. It always circles back to oil.

Right, right, because Sauron's home had really great security. :/

I was thinking "upended," but "slop" is also a fine choice.

Robert A. Heinlein used a lot of em-dashes and much of the Internet was created by Heinlein fanboys?

How many machines have you tried? This sounds like it might be one of those things that only happens on a dev box.

Small typo: under Calendar and Contacts, "let's other" looks like it wants to be "let others."

Came here to say this. Also, that one game where you head soccer balls gave me a three-month crick in my neck.

Lytro camera. My wife bought it for me because she hear me say "oh, how cool!" It wasn't that cool, and she never bought me another toy again.
