This is why you shouldn't be obsessed with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman (RMS), Stormy Peters, Alan Cox, and other figures in the open-source or Unix or Linux communities. 😂

There's a real Rube Goldberg quality to many of the attempts to find real use cases for LLMs: take regular desktop screenshots, OCR them, "find meaningful patterns" 🤔 so the system can answer queries... the amount of compute being chucked on a fire speculatively is absurd - so much of it already rolled out to users! The carbon cost of that is immediately alarming but there's also just something repellent about it from a systems design perspective. The desperation of these companies is palpable.

Personal theory: LLMs deliver all of the enthusiasm of a 7-year old breathlessly describing a stegosaurus while less than the guaranteed accuracy of the same.

It's fun to blame Red Lobster going down because of all you can eat shrimp, but no one really emphasizes this bit:

"A private equity firm bought the chain ten years ago from Darden Restaurants.... The firm, Golden Gate Capital, funded the deal partly by selling Red Lobster's real estate.

That meant the chain had to start paying rent. That's now a major financial factor in Red Lobster's bankruptcy filing"

VC again leaving a trail of destruction behind them

Real or The Onion headline: "Red Lobster files for bankruptcy after missteps including all-you-can-eat shrimp."

#OnThisDay, May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted in Washington state. It has often been declared the most disastrous volcanic eruption in U.S. history (depicted in St. Helens, 1981)

I need a muppet remake of The Blair Witch Project mostly to see a panicked Kermit yelling “Fozzie!” into the dark woods as he hears a distant pained “wocka wocka!”

Whenever I see a game where a character is jammed airtightly into a specific audience range, I can't help but imagine them in other stories, at other times in their life.

Like imagine an adventure game featuring a tween Putt Putt that's obsessed with Hot Topic and trying to start a YouTube channel.

Or you can go the other way. Imagine Kratos Teaches Typing.

For Americans looking at people posting in Celsius temperatures: don't try to convert, just remember this...

Zero is freezing,
Ten is not.
Twenty is warm and
Thirty is hot
(And forty is DAMNED hot)

A hypothetical question going viral on social media asks women if they’d rather be alone in the woods with an unknown man or a bear.

Majority of women are choosing the bear. Reasons women say they’d choose the bear.

“The bear will either kill me or leave me alone, there are not 400 other horrible ways a bear can hurt me,” the post read.

Among other reasons, according to the post, that women said they would choose the bear:

“No one would question me about what I was wearing if the bear attacked me.”
“If I survive the bear attack, I will not have to see the bear at family reunions.”
“A bear would not film it and send it to his friends.”
“No one will question if the bear attack really happened.”

the thing about c++ is you can do

std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max()

and be technically correct, portable, more expressive, etc.

or you can just do

UINT32_MAX

which is probably Wrong and Bad in many ways, but has the strong advantage of not sucking ass
