Shabbat Shalom!

good yom tov all

Windows has a really interesting an unique ability to take an absolutely top-of-the-line super expensive bleeding edge laptop and somehow make it still feel really slow.

49 :)

the new Osem sippets make it look like Sonic the Hedgehog drowned in your soup pot

belief in the existence of "Palestinian Jews" is one of the most insane things common on the left

I just finished Andor and as great as it was the time skips made it all feel a bit rushed.

Shabbat Shalom, everyone!

I logged back onto the birdsite and got the weirdest advertisement.

Calling human creations "content" was the beginning of the end. It enabled AI people to see it as free fuel, and for people to devalue it and not appreciate the hours of work put in. I loathe the word content.

"So the fact that the city of Troy is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a beautiful giant wooden horse..."

Shabbat Shalom all!

who called it Python 3.14 and not Pi-thon

thinking about the some sheep/no sheep map again

well this aged well

With the ABC (note: not the AEC) calling it for the seat of Melbourne, is this the first election where **two** party leaders have lost their own seats?

wow, Marvel are just outright spoiling Thunderbolts for all of us who haven’t been able to see it yet, huh

A MICROSLEEP CAN KILL IN SECONDS SORE EYES? POWERNAP NOW the Victorian state government really needs to make up its mind if it wants highway drivers asleep or awake

Shabbat Shalom everyone!

Just got warned that the new "Voice Isolation" feature in Teams, if turned on and trained on a male voice, will filter out all the women in the room, while still allowing the men in the room to be heard online. *clears throat* IF YOU USE A BIASED TRAINING SET, YOUR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE BIASED.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

😒

so I’m looking at a particular build optimization and it’s so ridiculously fast that I actually had to go check the output directory and make sure it actually did compile if I’m right and this works it’s a 90x speedup :O

“So, do I actually have a desk? Union tests Minns’ return to office order” www.themandarin.com.au/291331-so-do... “Everyone loves returning to the office until everyone shows up. A reverse strike reveals chaotic office logistics, testing the Minns government’s bold push for workplace presence.”

the duality of the @thesizzle.com.au

this election is my first time voting in person (I’m not going to get a chance to postal vote for Various Reasons)

it looks like the “free palestine” crowd are desperately trying to start a sequel to the Crown Heights riot of 1991?

OH: “if you take a photo of your palm and upload it to ChatGPT, it can do a palm reading for you … I dunno, some of it came true”

Shabbat Shalom everyone! שבת היא מלזעוק ורפואה קרובה לבוא

I know my brother @swearyanthony.bsky.social has a lot of people he cares about on here. While not everyone knows about the connection, a lot of people who follow me also follow him. This seemed like a way to get the word out: Anthony is currently in ICU in a critical condition after a head injury.

never trust an “AI overview” (I suspect the term I am searching for was originally an autocorrect error too…)

the only nice thing about being at the hospital is that my eduroam credentials still work so I don’t have to pay for the faster wifi

In ED yesterday I met a lovely non-Jewish doctor who said that they can tell when it’s Pesach because of all the Jews who come in with gastro-related problems. 🙊

The longer I play around with Terraform or OpenTofu inside GitHub Actions the more broken it all seems.

I looked at a book about autism and Amazon recommended me books about trains. Rude! Accurate. But rude!

ugh why is Disney+’s offline downloader such crap? did nobody at Disney HQ ever try download more than one episode of something at a time??

Meta’s AI is so advanced and useful ಠ_ಠ
