Unless fully rewritten to the form of bully pulpit, this would still have been considered explicitly dictatorial, erratic and unhinged behavior from a leader, so I assume you just mean “what if dems were more action less talk” and I’m with you.

lol these statuses always read like trembling balled up fists on a fat angry toddler

I suspect the user above you doesn’t care about that technicality. They’re just blaming victims for not being as virtuous as we are, which is small.

Adding to the above, one of the challenges of GD is how to know whether the global optimum reported by the function isn’t just one of its many imposters (local optima). That’s the “big picture” he’s talking about. Working with Elon was a dead end.

But is LTO next? Is AI coming for my tapes??

Finally, the era of vibe command has arrived. WCGW?

Hmm, my RC400L only pings when IMSI catchers are detected. I think Flock camera alerts are still mostly driven by community gis databases.

You are the Winter in my Summer, Sonor

Oh shit lol, forgot we could vote on our own shit. Ty for the slightly taller pyre

Nothing compared to your haul though. Let’s see Paul Allen’s doots

Not sure if this hack has a name, but usually once someone in a comment tree makes a joke about downvotes — e.g., clowning on an edit complaining about a downvote — rules are suspended for all comments that follow, and you can accrue lots of downvote salutes FOR FREE.

(Maybe not my comment since I’m late to the downvote party, but here you go;)

Edit: why the upvotes? :(

Edit edit: 1v1 me irl

It’s a user-friendly wrapper for existing fake quantum. It’s not a “physics shortcut” and it doesn’t “tackle quantum problems.”

Also no quantum problems have ever been “reserved for AI.” Some quantum solutions borrow optimization techniques from machine learning, but classical machine learning algorithms aren’t designed to leverage (or even consider) quantum effects.

I’m putting this out there because there’s a tendency to lump together all the buzzwords, like AI and quantum, into one big category of powerful-technologies-I-don’t-understand that results in hyperbolic projections and magical thinking that thwarts progress.

Edit: I wasn’t actually disagreeing with the comment above. You should downvote me too.

Board of directors

Correct. The board defines the company, not the CEO.

CEOs are usually puppets. Whatever role they play, you can bet they were hired specifically to play it, and were incentivized to stick to the script.

Their job (legally, their fiduciary obligation) is to maximize shareholder value, to take the credit or blame, and fuck off.

The board (typically key stakeholders) are so pleased when the public focuses on their CEOs, even if it’s for their shitty opinions, behavior, or obnoxious salaries.

Because the worst thing that could happen to them would be for the public eye to actually follow the money, and it’s easy to see why.

If the rabble truly fathomed just how many of those “golden parachutes” stakeholders stockpile with every disgraced CEO, however ceremoniously disavowed…

Accountability would shift to more permanent targets yes but, more importantly, it would quickly become common knowledge that, all this time, there were in fact more than enough golden parachutes to go around.

New York or Disney World

Got me

For example the tools for the really tedious stuff, like large codebase refactoring for style keeping, naming convention adherence, all kinds of code smells, whatever. Lots of those tools have gotten ML upgrades and are a lot smarter and more powerful than what I remember from a decade ago (intellisense, jetbrains helper functions, various opinionated linter toolchains, and so forth).

While I’ve only experimented a little with some the more explicitly generative LLM-based coding assistant plugins, I’ve been impressed (and a little spooked) at how good they often were at guessing what I’m doing way before I finished doing it.

I haven’t used the prompt-based LLMs at all, because I’m just not used to it, but I’ve watched nearby devs use them for stuff like manipulating a bunch of files in a repeated pattern, breaking up a spaghetti method into reusable functions, or giving a descriptive overview of some gnarly undocumented legacy code. They seem pretty damn useful.

I’ll integrate the prompt-based tools once I can host them locally.
