In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

Looks like lots of people’s year end bonuses were contingent on them releasing something related to AI by the end of the year.

How much money do you suppose the average OpenAI employee makes? What class do you imagine they’re part of?

Social media is not to blame. The people using it are.

I use a “real name” domain. My last name ends in the letters “in”, so I bought a .in domain, such that the domain name is my last name with a dot in it.

Can’t honestly recommend that approach. It’s a cute gimmick, but when non-technical people ask for your email address and it doesn’t end in a TLD they recognize, their heads explode. I usually give out my gmail address.

All this concern over the guy who says “wahoo” and “it’s-a-me, Mario” is fascinating. Seriously it’s never been more than a few lines. Why is any of this such a big deal?

4 years later: “this button is the wrong color. fix it ASAP”

I’m old enough to remember when Rick Berman was the guy who ruined Star Trek.

Several years ago I made an ill-advised trip to the ATM in a strip club. My bank did the smart thing and cut me off, so I called the number on the back of the card but an automated recording told me they’re closed and to call back during business hours. Went home with enough money to still pay rent, but still needed to unlock the account, so I called first thing in the morning. The entire process was automated. “Press 1 if this transaction was from you or 2 if your card was stolen”.

Not sure if the automated system takes the night off, or if there’s just an extra rule that lies about it to help you avoid certain mistakes.

Avatar The Last Airbender has the same amount of lore as Star Trek? How are we measuring this?

we’re talking about a hypothetical one-off situation on a computer that isn’t yours though; right? That happens from time to time, and an authentication process that requires you to persist your auth information on disk carries some extra risks. You need to remember to delete it when you’re done.

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?
