A coworker of mine changed his voicemail message to start with the tri-tone that plays for a disconnected number (bah dah deet) followed by a normal voicemail greeting. The auto dialers delete the number from their list when they hear the tri-tone. It did confuse legitimate callers that were trying to reach him though.
This will be entertaining in their ongoing Red War plagiarism lawsuit.
Every old timer knows AI is supposed to be written in Prolog.
I have given up. Collectively, we’re incapable of long range planning. Climate change and non-renewable resource depletion are intractable problems. A significant number of us refuse to even acknowledge the existence of the problems. Things will have to get massively worse before anyone will have any success in changing approaches.
I have stopped using twitter. Is that enough or do I need to delete my account somehow?
The price was going to be $499. A 145% tariff makes the price $1222.55. A 100% tariff would double the price and this is more than 100%.
Looks like pretty steep inflation fueled by tariffs. I wonder how the Denies Reality Party (DeRPs) will spin it.
Nevertheless, I stand by my view. We are already trying our hardest to make the atmosphere replicate the atmosphere of the K-T extinction.
I get more pessimistic every year and I started out extremely pessimistic. I think humanity going extinct in my lifetime is more likely than the US getting single payer in my lifetime.
I have no confidence that medicare will still exist. It could be gone by next month.
I don’t think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.
Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2, Champions of Norrath, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Burnout 3, Jak and Daxter, Rachet and Clank, SSX3, Twisted Metal Black, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I am sure I forgetting some other amazing games.
I kind of expected this for Ubuntu.
I use Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS, and Windows.
If I had more free time I would try some more.
In reality, I feel like hide-the-pain Harold.
We are implementing the feature in this two week sprint. (It is a four week task and is not amenable to being further decomposed - at least not with meaningful exit criteria.)
Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it’s going to be spectacularly popular.
I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the “graphics” were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).
Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.
And files are streams. 🎵 Islands in the stream. 🎵
I think the selective attention test:
further illustrates the limits of human vision and mental processing quite well. Defense attorneys probably ought to play this video in any case where witness testimony is a big component of the prosecution’s case.
All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?
Trump changes constitution to allow himself additional terms. Monkey paw curls. Obama term 3 confirmed.
I’m kind of hoping Trump kicks the bucket before the end of this term. Keep feeding him hamberders.
Hey, guys, I don’t think Jesus would approve of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, but keep pretending that you are holier than me.
