@villi Most of the people I know that bitch about AI "theft" have large Napster derived collections and DCMA circumvented rips of movies they licensed (at best) or torrenteted (more often).
@TivadarDanka Something is wrong with X today since it acts though the original post was just written but it's clearly from January of 2025.
Or the meat intelligence that wrote it is overly quantized..
It is odd but for efficiency.
There are two filing windows. Sitting reps running for reelection can submit with a deadline of Sept 11.
After the November election, there is another brief window from Nov 4-18th for all reps who got elected to submit.
If a rep loses reelection, an orphaned bill can be adopted by someone who was elected.
UNIX time counts seconds from midnight on January 1st 1970 using a signed 32 bit integer. That runs out in 2038. If they had used 16 bits, it would have run out just after 9am on the same day.
We're switching to a 64 bit. That will run out on Sunday, 4 December 292,277,026,596
@jondipietronh The human slop was already there with duplicated code, no comments, crappy testing and poor structure.
Someone just used AI and figured it out.
Virginia has 663 data centers. Thirteen percent of every data center on earth.
Residential power there costs 15.94 cents a kilowatt hour.
The national average is 17.24.
The state with the most data centers has cheaper electricity than the states with none.
@NickpxJ So.. Just like real software engineer except they get the 500 lines done in seconds vs days and, they don't spend the first week after asserting that the thing they changed couldn't possibly have resulted in the new bug.
I ended a date early tonight over Lindsay Clancy.
I took a lovely young lady, Rachel, out to dinner tonight at a famous Michelin-star restaurant.
Things started off nicely; we had good conversation and enjoyed a few beverages. Naturally, I ordered her a salad with a light dressing, and I ordered the 38oz porterhouse. Medium rare, of course.
Our food arrived, and the conversation turned to current events. The steak was savory, beefy, and rich. A fine piece of meat cooked to absolute perfection.
I was savoring the last few bites of meaty bliss when I heard Rachel say something about a โmistrialโ that momentarily distracted me from my meal.
โItโs so, like, disgusting that one juror detailed the entire judicial process and caused a mistrial,โ she said as she tapped her fork on her empty salad plate. โI feel so bad for Lindsay. Sheโs going to have to go through all of the pain of that trial AGAIN nowโฆโ
I felt my left eye begin to twitch with righteous indignation as I processed the words Rachel was saying. I put my hands across the table and signaled for a time out.
โHold on, Rachel,โ I said. โI have something to say, but Iโm not going to let it ruin this beautiful steak.โ
Savoring every bite, I finished my meal in peaceful silence; only the ambient sounds of an elite restaurant could be heard.
I cleared my plate and leaned back in my chair, motioning for the waitress to bring me the check.
โLindsay Clancy is a murderer,โ I said, looking Rachel directly in the eye. โJuror number 12 is a hero. Period. End of story.โ
I was fired up. I continued to educate Rachel on the facts of the case at a rapid pace and with increasing passion.
The waitress had arrived about halfway through my barrage of correction, but I was too locked in to notice. I finished saying my piece, took a breath, and paid the bill.
โIt was nice meeting you, Rachel.โ I said as I stood up to leave. โI hope youโve learned something valuable tonight.โ
She looked stunned as I strolled away and went right to the door. Several other tables had overheard our conversation. I noticed several men at other tables giving me subtle fist pumps and nods of approval as I passed by.
I walked out the door and tossed the valet, a handsome and strong-looking young man with an intense gaze named Jon, a crisp $20 and got in my car.
โSir,โ he interjected. โShould I let the lady know the car is ready?โ
โNo, son,โ I replied as I pulled away. โCall her an Uber Pool. Iโm out.โ
