Bryan Park Training Races are back, but I'm not sure I am just yet. Got dropped at 10 minutes but fought back onto the group. youtu.be/WsByQx7f2SY

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Old but still feisty. 🏆

Lord of the Dicks (LOTD) is a terrible follow-up Tolkein franchise.

Damn near 30 years at this and it's still a huge PITA to pull data from a PDF into Excel. Even Copilot balked at it. Thank goodness for good ol' trusty Notepad, savior of tabs & line-breaks.

Hey Siri, how do you create a slave workforce?

Every time I drag a .ics file onto my Outlook calendar and it actually imports I say, in genuine surprise, "hey it worked!" I think MS might be raising their batting average with this feature.

Tractor won't start. Anybody want to jump underneath and take a look?

Travel safely and protect yourself. I would still LOVE mobile OS's to add an option that unlocks your phone to a minimum set of apps & data by providing an alternate fingerprint, or a "Windows 365" type app where my core apps could run in a remote virtual phone.

Can't wait. Love this event!

It's true, but I do wish they'd chosen something with a clear pronunciation.

Well at least now I know why riding has hurt more recently. Check your stuff-- shit wears out.

Yeeted straight into the sun. 🖕Bezos.

I am so bummed about this change. I do live demos where I'm often in 2 or 3 Windows 365 sessions as different users simultaneously, and the Windows App is NOT great for this. I like keeping my sessions tidily organized into different Chrome user profiles.

More of this please.

Sounded better in the original German.

Normalize genocide harder, daddy

I feel like I've crested the wave of energy and excitement for work stuff and I'm looking at the start of a big crash. Or maybe I'm just wiped out from shoveling snow. Either way that bottle of Maker's doesn't look full enough to last the weekend.

I live for the kind of chaos this enables. Could you imagine the file sizes and the havoc this would wreak on DOGE trying to ingest it into AI? Proceed accordingly. 🫡

Oops 😬

BREAKING: Trump administration agrees to close barn door after all of the horses have escaped.

From Oct 2022 fyi. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Behold my shocked face.

I know we're all very angry right now, but PLEASE stop using the age of these engineers as a defining component of their villainy. At 26 I had domain admin access to a military network. I was insufferable, but I knew my stuff. These guys are carrying out evil, but their age is irrelevant.
