It's also cheap shibboleth for communities - if you talk like we talk then you're one of us

When I got "sanguine" wrong, I realized a huge portion of my vocabulary came from Magic: The Gathering. I'd guessed "red-faced and angry" because "blood-soaked" wasn't an option.

    Turnips dream beneath the loam,
    pale moons tucked in earthen foam.
    Winter hums, the roots lie still,
    sweet and stubborn under hill.
    ; DROP TABLE turnips; --

There are pictures of a similar technique in this paper: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1808415

It was done with manually-written gcode though.

There's a YouTube video out there of someone doing this with a long (airbrush?) nozzle that is inserted into those empty spaces.

I think that's called z-pinning, and it might not be because of patents. I'm not sure though.

>Nothing says human connection as much as scheduled meeting and necessity to have scheduled meeting to get or provide context.

I understand your point, but that also describes a date.

The form of a tool guides its use. You can tell what a hammer is for just by picking one up.

>What if AI could fill all those gaps, handling mechanical compliance while we focus on the human work?

Idk boss, the perceptron said there weren't any bugs so I shipped it

I think it's more about the way things are vs the way things "should" be.

e.g "teens are going to experiment with sex, so comprehensive sex education is the best way to keep them safe"

vs

"Teens should not have sex, so abstinence-only education is the best way to keep them safe"

"Generations of spiders" threw me there, I thought you were talking about web crawlers.

Take it as an opinion. Don't take it seriously. Whatever floats your boat.

I read somewhere that aliasxneo eats turds with a fork and knife. I'm not sitting on a precompiled list of sources, and it would be unfair to ask me to spend my Saturday building a list for someone whom I read eats turds with a fork and knife.

I won't say what aliasxneo does to add slightly more flavoring, but I think it's a pretty reasonable to assume it's gross and lazy.

Slightly overeager - you ask for a button color change, you see layout changes, new package dependencies, and the README rewritten from scratch - and not necessarily correctly.

Flybys are awesome depending where you are. F-18s in Idaho? Pretty cool. F-18s in Pakistan? Probably stressful.

I have a collection of vintage microwave cookbooks and they get real fancy, with techniques like wrapping the thin parts of fish with aluminum foil so they don't burn. Volume 5 had a full Thanksgiving dinner. I think the goal was to sell more microwaves to people who weren't sure what they could do. Fascinating stuff.

I have used none of those recipes. The microwave is for making cold pizza 10% more palatable (or 80% more palatable if I've been drinking). In that regard, the LLMs are microwaves really works for me: if I'm using one I either I want something fast and casual, or I'm drunk.

<menu>, <dialog>, lots of fun stuff in html now.

I like to ask people what they imagine <ruby> does, because I certainly didn't guess right.
