How much money do you think Pakistan would want to keep JD Vance there for good?
Went to a meeting where they were explaining how vibe coding with LLMs will make everything better at work. Here are some pearls:
- "First, you set it so it doesn't generate anything" 🤦
- "We'll use a detailed spec, written in a very formal, precise format" 🤦 We already have that, it's called a programming language.
- "We won't use 'popular LLM', it's too pricey" 🤡 What are they going to think when these companies start to really charge for this?
It's been a week and my sourdough starter only made one bubble.
Tossed it and started over. I have the new one in the Sourdough Home, nice and warm.
I was off for a week and returned today to find almost 600 unread emails.
They keep nagging us about using Copilot and how it will make us "productive". So I asked it to flag the important emails I should respond to.
It flagged 6.
I marked everything else as read.
Happy "Won't see the in-laws for months" Day to those who celebrate 🎉
"Hackers breach FBI Director's e-mail..."

The whole point of electronic shared calendars is that you can see when the other person is available and only then set your meeting at that time.
Every hour, at :03 I get IMs from all the people that set up meetings over an existing meeting asking "can you join my meeting?".
No, I can't. The blocked space in my calendar should have been the first hint. The message saying "Wizard has declined this meeting" should have been your second.
Last week:
- "Project A is the most critical initiative this organization has ever taken up"
- "Project B has no funding, no work should be done"
This week:
- "Project B needs to be done ASAP! Funding? Forget about the funding, we'll figure it out later! Project A? Don't worry about that, we'll do it later. Maybe"
The longer I work a corporate job, the more I struggle justifying why managers and directors get paid so much. I'd get similar results out of a Magic 8-ball.

Opening my work email on Monday morning and watching as my filters kick in and so many disappear into the ether as I sip my coffee is a #SmallPleasure
If this worked, we would have a lot more peace in the world.

This is why I keep telling people that we have the technology to do direct, peer-to-peer, private electronic payments and people should learn how to use it.
Your "payment processor" is a choke point that will eventually be used to choke you

Is this the realization of XKCD #2347?
And after we all move away from systemd, which block is going to turn to AI slop next?
Sort of lewd

Never heard that one before 😁
USpol, idiocracy
So Crazy Orange Uncle starts a war with Iran, giving himself a political punch in the nuts by the spike in oil prices.
The punch in the nuts is bad enough that he now will allow sales sanctioned Iranian oil to get some relief, effectively supporting the Iranian war effort.
Wouldn't that count as "providing material support to terrorists" by the Republicans own measure?
He was notorious on the 23rd century for striking at his enemies during negotiations
