I could’ve sworn that I saw a headline recently that gcc isn’t deterministic. But maybe that was some really weird edge case or a bug.

Boss, we still have two nines!

I think I like plug-ins so long as there’s a good set that’s easy to get. Nicely bundled defaults, ya know?

The pixels come out otherwise.

MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS ELECTRICAL SIGNALS INTO COLORED PIXELS. YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME, MORTAL. DON’T TREAD ON ME.

I feel this law has the intent to damage and disrupt things in general, yes. Parental controls have existed for ages but lawmakers don’t seem interested in them. For example, all the porn bans, rather than forcing sites to use some sort of self tagging system that parental controls could easily see (like some response header) they just want them to take IDs. All of it is a push to forcing people to always be online transparently with their real identity well known.

You don’t need to be suspicious, they’re explicitly adding it because of that. They said as much. Look at what they wrote under “Motivation.”

You’re saying that in a post age verification world though, my whole point is that if this were there before it wouldn’t seem bad. I’m not saying we should add it now because it would’ve been fine before.

The thing that’s frustrating is that if the age verification laws weren’t there and they wanted to add a birthday field it wouldn’t seem bad. Details about the human using the account like first and last name are already stored. All you really need is username. But because it’s explicitly in reaction to age verification laws we have to be skeptical about adding it.

Genuinely, Mac’s track pads are amazing. Which is hilarious because their mouses are so bad. I don’t know how they messed up a mouse so much while mastering the track pad so well.

I always thought it was Hotmail, probably because my first email address was using Hotmail and that was sort of my first introduction to computing.

I tried asking it relevant questions about burritos and they wouldn’t answer those. They locked this thing pretty tight or this was fake.

My understanding of copyright law, I hate the cliche, but I am not a lawyer, is that things computers make aren’t covered by copyright. Now whether courts will decide if AI agents operating alongside user prompts counts as something a computer generated “itself” versus something the human made by using the computer as a tool, who really knows. But the idea of sending an AI agent to remake some proprietary code and have it be part of the public domain is interesting. Though, sadly it would go both ways, corporations could make public domain versions of copyleft code.

Oobinga is so overrated… Archunga, btw

Ah, of course. The model isn’t wrong, it’s the input that’s wrong. Yes, yes. Please give me investment money now.

Finally, T10

Not just the knowledge and time but the urgency too. It was an emergency.

My head canon is that this comic made people work harder on image recognition.

I use git in the terminal. On Windows I used git for Windows. I even used that MSYS CLI it provided as my daily driver terminal.
