The only Silver Lining of Musk mucking about with these massive pieces of infrastructure is learning about how they work, like why Social Security is stored the way it is. You would have thought he already had these kinds of conversations though.

“Georgia misses out on millions from Super Bowl due to sports betting ban” What a bunch of 💩. More like Georgia saves thousands from bankruptcy and life long gambling addiction.

Didn’t Trump shut down foreign aid programs? So, how is he going to withhold foreign aid? My guess is that he brings back USAID as TrumpAID.

Why is “Pump Up the Jam” exclusively played in places that do not pump up jams?

Now that Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl again, I have the ultimate "Swiftie Special" parlay: - Over on showing Taylor Swift reactions more than 7 times. - Broadcasters make at least 3 references to Taylor Swift songs. - Travis proposes after winning the game!

Apparently, the smartest people a struggling to create tests AI can’t pass. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

Watching Elon like…

“AI will replace junior devs” is such a bad take. Companies hire Jr engineers because: 1. Their cheap. You don’t need Sr dev to solve every problem. At some point, a manager will ask “why hire one Sr, when we can get two Jr?”

yule log? yeah, yule log off after reading the rest of my posts

Just had my annual viewing of The Preacher’s Wife, and I forgot the villain was gentrification. This movie aged well!

How long until RFK Jr, Musk, and Trump have a big falling out. There is no way that three of the most obnoxious egomaniacs in America maintain a working relationship longer than a few months, right?

I have been using GenAI to help make quick changes and searches using the AWS CLI. And for some reason, ChatGPT and Q both think ‘aws logs describe-queries’ has a ‘—start-time’ and ‘—end-time’ argument.

Is there such a thing as corporate Learned Helplessness? I’m spending 20 minutes this morning writing a job in a Glue notebook to transform their bad data. Am I the problem? It’s faster the fix the data than it is to explain the problem to them, but maybe it costs me more in the long run.

Playing #skyrim on PS5, without mods. I forgot how buggy the game was. I got locked out of the College of Winterhold quest line. I think I was feeling nostalgic. But the politics of Skyrim are oddly prescient. I wouldn’t be the first one to compare the Stormcloaks to MAGA.

Apple Intelligence screwed up summarizing my Netflix notifications pretty badly. The Shows are coming on Nov 9 and 10. And “Rewatch Available” is maybe the worst way to summarize what that one was saying. I am afraid of what the news summaries look like. #appleintelligence
