Bro this ain’t the 1800s, we’re obviously using LED light strips for that now. The downside is that a single section goes dark and we lose mapping data for the entire northeast. Totally worth it though when they turn on the strobe effect.

Bet it can run doom.

I got called gay back in high school for listening to Brackish by Kittie. Never understood that one.

I feel like it’s Starwars time where everything is referred before or after Yavin or in relation to the old and new republic. Right now we are entering Pandemic+5 or like 5COVID or something.

I’m guessing it’s down to Ted Nugent and kid Rock.

Home labs everywhere will soon have super cheap hardware options from PCs that can’t update to Windows 11 but are capable of running multiple virtual machines (like windows 11).

Damn I didn’t even know there was more than one.

I had no idea either. Looks like he played the red guy in that Shazam movie.

That’s a good price here in Seattle.

To me, the weirdest one was Johnny Depp as a Native American. Like I couldn’t wrap my head around it in the movie. I kept thinking the plot was that he was a delusional person who believed he was Native American.

I’m no car scientist but I’ve done my research. I get my own air from rural areas, bag it up, and bring it home for my tires. Nothing but the best free range organic air goes into my vehicle.

Jim is very much in need of a wellness check.

Should be able to handle XFCE.

“Where people love to drive”. I hate driving but damn try getting around without a car and spend your whole day just getting groceries.

US about to declare war on the Arctic and bring some freedom to…uh…the penguins?

This is the intersection of Xitter and SpaceX and it looks like Xitter takes priority.

I use my neighbors hose to power a water wheel for infinite energy. No one knows where the water comes from but i assume it’s free.

Right!?!?!?! I thought we hit rock bottom with Bush Jr and then this whole thing with Trump came along. I am starting to realize that it’s just going to get worse from here. If GWB wasn’t the worst then Trump will likely not be the worst.

You have to remember that the cloud is just a series of data centers owned by cloud providers. If you are Netflix, you’re not hosting Stranger Things for audiences in the US from the EU. You have a copy of it in both places and leverage AWS regions in each area to server geographically closer users (it’s typically called latency based routing). If the undersea cables are cut, the EU still watches Netflix because the content doesn’t need to travel undersea, it’s already in the EU, same thing in the US. The challenge comes in at the end of the month when people pay their Netflix bills and the banks needs to process international payments. End users are largely not impacted by direct service outages but big companies are.

The one thing that LLMs have done for me is to make summarizing and correlating data in documents really easy. Take 20 docs of notes about a project and have it summarize where they are at so I can get up to speed quickly. Works surprisingly well. I haven’t had luck with code requests.
