I had no idea Caves of Qud was a game and was very confused for a bit, heh.

Replace the US with Trinidad and Tobago and it should be an equal match.

I started to write about covering, but I don’t know the full sensor suite and I assume they can still collect a bunch of data. That sounds good as a first step, though.

So the only thing that changed is that the area lost their own access to them at the termination date, but the camera companies still collect that data.

Sounds like the thing to do is take the cameras down

I’ve heard ‘take THE decision’ with the definite article in very narrow cases maybe twice. I don’t think I’ve heard it with the indefinite and it’s not common either way.

What, no fuel burning its way through his bottom? I guess that’s all I can expect from this universe.

My brain went to that first and I was super confused about the '50s cultural reference I was missing for way too long.

I’m reading the command to the tune of Du Hast

For some reason, I had it in my head that it was later in summer. I guess I refuse to admit we’ve already had our most daylight what feels like so soon.

I guess the other difference with your picture is that, had I taken a similar one today, my tractor would be stuck in heavy clay mud. I’m lucky to have amazing neighbors, heh.

That looks like about 18:30-19:30 around here. I can see well enough in my room before 4am in the mornings. Eastern Japan (at least) needs to switch time zomes imo

I live in Japan and don’t like ranch dressing. I still don’t have a problem with this, really. I think it would overpower the tastes of the ingredients since ranch has garlic, herbs, etc., but that’s their choice.

I grew up next to a Kermit who was born in the 1910s or 20s IIRC.

And had a great uncle named homer.

No idea and not sure if it’s right. They could be attempting to match something across whitespace or line breaks and gotten greedy. Or maybe it is just a string match and not regex and they pasted the wrong string, but that still feels weird.

I always called it the buttbuttination (of Lincoln) problem, heh.

I wonder if someone is learning a lesson about regexes on that instance. It would be very weird to replace the string ‘time’ on its own.

cowboys have been skipping steps and doing things lazily and poorly well before AI

Of course, but I think not understanding what they’re committing is more dangerous than before (even allowing for the classic “I copied and pasted this from xxxx site”). This is also true when people are fully trusting AI to review code as well.

We use AI for code reviews which I do find useful. It’s still wrong part of the time (sometimes ridiculously so). So far, it’s also failed to provide accurate documentation for various repos which seems like something rather basic. I’m not against all AI (though I do have ethical and environmental concerns with several of the commercial options). I will not have them write code for me, though.

As for the future, we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve seen a lot of AI budgets exceeded and/or cut. I do think it’s not there yet for a number of tasks but is suitable (again minus certain concerns) for others.

I disagree on that; we lose the muscles we don’t use and I’ve already seen that happening. It’s also making people want to jump straight to implementation without proper design and I think that’s a recipe for trouble.

Does this cover smoke coming from my pet, me smoking my pet (as in cooking it), me smoking my pet (as in inhaling it), or me smoking my pet (as in killing it)?

I was doing a code review this week. There was nothing wrong with the code in terms of structure or performance, but it was doing this really weird operation with an ID after DB insert. I asked about it and the author was like “yeah, that’s weird; I don’t know why the AI did that. I’ll remove it.” My dude, I know you can write good code. Don’t be lazy!

I can’t speak to Chinese Chinese, but a lot of east Asia cuts things into pieces one can pick up with chopsticks and eat in one bite. I haven’t been to a US Chinese buffet in years, but I don’t recall overly-large pieces the last time I went. Where I grew up (rural Ohio) not many people used chopsticks I til fairly recently, so maybe I’m forgetting my younger days or perhaps something else is going on.
