I can't decide if this is the best joke I've heard today, but it's certainly a solid #2.

I'd be tempted to add 5 billion of them to my cart to see if we can find any uint32's.

I'm staring at a black background thinking "no way to know" and you're like fingerprinting tire marks on cement in 3 minutes. We are not the same (complimentary).

I think the key observation here is you go from 1. Roll 3d6 against wisdom to see if you are aware of all the relevant unix commands 2. Stare at the manpage for 3 minutes to figure out the wierd command line parameters to 1. "Hey, LLM - command that takes input X and pipes it through filter Y"

Truth Social is already doing "investment opportunities" - they could front-run any post of his by delaying it even a few minutes and doing a bunch of trading. It would be illegal if the government still cared about prosecuting conservatives.

I think the gesture will continue forever, just like the "save" icon is still a floppy disk and the "phone" pickup/hangup buttons on your phone look like a 1970s handset.

I'd love to see an advertisement on Fox in Mar-a-lago about how Donald Trump doesn't have the guts to fire Jerome Powell.

The one in the picture says "Royal New Zealand Air Force" so maybe not quite exactly like it?

Airplane engines are still largely dumb fuel and spark lathe-children. If you feel the desire to wrangle with the primer, the throttle, the mixture, you can learn to fly machines intentionally frozen in time. "High tolerances" means exactly the opposite of what you think it means.

Started dating my now wife when I was in the mandatory six month wait after the final filing in California. She didn't ask, but I absolutely provided the court paperwork to her on, like, the second date.

"kiln error message" somehow was outside my imagined possibilities. Now I'm imagining you walking in to find your kiln saying "You have been upgraded to KilnOS 5.3 with KilnAI!" and immediately smashing everything.
