I don’t think this jives with reports of what he was like as a mayor. I think Oz was just so incredibly bad that people didn’t care.

It’s very obvious in this thread that you have hands on experience and many others do not. 20+ years professional SWE here, a majority of it applied ML/big data/etc. LLMs are really bad at many things but specifically using them as a natural language layer over NPC interactions would be relatively easy and seems like a great use case honestly.

It’s been working its way through California courts since the 2015 WHO guidelines said processed meats are carcinogenic. Under Prop 65 that should have triggered immediately labeling processed meats as “Known to the State of California to cause cancer” (like we already have on any charred food, parking garages, etc) but because reasons a decade later I think it is still being adjudicated.

It sounds like after doing normal science (seeing how they reacted to changing environment or introduction of antibiotics) he realized there was a “language” to the reactions, that he could then play with to elicit different patterns more deterministically. They are colorless too, he used a blue dye and then photoshop to make whatever colors helped highlight the “art”.

Quite neat.

The problem becomes when the interviewees know it is a bit (this is why Sasha Baron Cohen eventually got stale, or Tom Green before him)

I dunno if he turned it down or just blasted people about it but Zach Woods had a great video denouncing this.

Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I’ve been holding off reading the new one to make it last.

No medium internet (tablet) or x large internet (widescreen desktop)? I bet this lady doesnt even play roblox.

Dr Cravensworth, I presume?

West coast would be fine. California grows over 50% of the fruits and nuts, and 30% of the vegetables for the entire US. The “farm belt” states mostly grow cash crops for animal feed, energy production, and overseas export.

Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.

That’s not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I’ve used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)

IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.

I think that’s his point. Past a certain level wealth makes no difference to your quality of life. So give it away, make the world better, and still have enough for more than 1 lifetime rather than horde and continue to amass like a cancer.

Not just patent trolls, most US corporations (at least every non boutique tech company I’ve worked for over the past 20 years) are incorporated in Delaware.

My wife and I are 40 with 3 kids (in another week two of them will be in high school!) and we quote this at least twice a month, usually in bed, usually while pretend stiff-arming the other and saying “whooooooooomphf”

I dont think Afghanistani or Persian ethnic people are semitic. Iraq would probably count but probably a majority of Muslims in the world aren’t semitic.

Dang, very sad. I was just in Nosara a few weeks back with my family and definitely noticed some serious rips (no surprise, the conditions that make a break good for surfing also make it dangerous).

Typescript makes for a whole different experience on the FE
