@GeorgeBoulos23 @eternaltxts I recently learned that yellow mustard is the cure.

@gdb I stopped coding in Perl sometime in the late 90's - I was very amused to see codex leaning on Perl in the shell and note that Claude Code seems to lean heavily on node, at least on my laptop.

I asked Alexa to play “Pets” by Porno for Pyros as a joke to my 10 year old about AI overlords continuing to care for us after the singularity. Alexa literally bleeped the word “porno” in it’s own affirmative response that it was playing the song. The irony.

@R0BC4T @carl_feynman @sarah_cone There’s a whole other fascinating story here about why one would do what you just said right? Do tell! This entire thread is a gold mine. Sensors, who knew?

[airtimetools @AirtimeTools]

It's here! mmhmm 3.0 is the best way to present and record yourself on video.

Our latest release is all about giving you the tools you need to stand out and be more persuasive on camera.

@andybudd How did I miss Hawk the Slayer?! Also I wonder that you omitted "The Sword and The Sorcerer" - mayhap your final filter is non-obvious to me.

HR and compliance teams use way too many tools. And there’s (kind of) a good reason for that. Mini 🧵:

[Brian Paul @bap]

Watching a video about adv in robotics: It came to me that we give these devices placid, confidence inspiring voices. We should make them sound like caffeinated six year olds running with scissors. Human injury would drop dramatically based purely on instinctual caution. I❤️🤖

@PloegMe @plibin @nosretep Gastric.

The flip side is that you are in an echo-chamber. At some point you have to move away from ChatGPT for the quality and merit of your efforts to improve. It can feel like progress even as it exceeds the threshold of diminishing return. A fine line between tool and crutch? 3/3

[Brian Paul @bap]

I've been playing with #ChatGPT lately (like so many others.) The thing I've been concentrating on is how it can accelerate you from 'Cold Start' to 'Warm Start' on something (brainstorming, research, etc.) with far less cognitive load than doing so 'alone.' 1/3

[Brian Paul @bap]

This isn't free dopamine. Although ChatGPT nails it sometimes the outputs aren't generally of mind-blowing quality but it does provide an opportunity to invest that deferred cognitive load in a far more focused and engaging (to you ⚠️) direction. 2/3

[Brian Paul @bap]

@books_beaches @PresNav @MrPotatoHead_SJ And with that we are straight to the top of the gift idea list.

@TLAlexander I can't tell from the images but I'm assuming no protective gear (respirator, eye cover) ?

Introducing mmhmm for web: Built for the out-of-office work lifestyle. #madewithmmhmm

[Brian Paul @bap]

@iamharaldur Do you feel a sense of relief when the Next Terrible Thing to Happen, finally occurs? Greetings fellow traveller. It can take a long time and a lot of work to shake that off. #WorkinProgress

[Brian Paul @bap]

@plibin Maybe we’re saying the same thing: Perhaps we call them heroes to justify their suffering and forgive ourselves?
