I rarely use LLM’s for generating code. Usually, by the time I’ve provided all the necessary context, I might as well have just written the code myself. I do use LLM’s for doing research. As long as it’s understood that the response is only as accurate as the source material, they often do a decent job of distilling down to what I’m actually looking for.

TWO HANDS IS TWICE THE FUN.

YOU WOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STROKING YOHR CHIN IF YOU SPENT MORE TIME CRANKING YOUR HOG!

TIL my wife is a predator. At some point while we were dating, she made the absolutely disgusting move of turning 30 on my sweet, innocent little 29 year old self.

Oh God. How could I let it get this bad?

“Users will completely understand the increased outages if we just eliminate the point-and-click UI that we’ve spent the last 30+ years getting them used to and instead give them a chat bot that they have to repeatedly type detailed instructions to for marginal results at best.”

Ye olde septic system finally quit?

“One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved (AKA me), was reclining at his side.”

– The Gospel According to John

The Evangelicals Creed

“I believe in God, the Father Almighty maker of heaven and Earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, never did or said anything important, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried…”

This drawdown has sparked a debate about the “Magnificent Seven” member: Is Microsoft stock a falling knife, or has the market overreacted, presenting a rare opportunity to buy a preeminent artificial intelligence (AI) stock at a discount?

First, “the market” overreacts about everything. Not surprising given that stock price volitility is mostly driven by speculation.

Second, who writes this crap? Anyone who thinks of Microsoft as an “AI stock” is clueless. The majority of Microsoft’s revenue comes from “services”, a big chunk of which is derived from subscriptions for Azure, Office 365, and other hosted solutions.

Microsoft has been racing to cram “AI” into as many areas as possible. Probably in an attempt to justify their substantial R&D and capital expenditures. But calling them an “AI stock” is insane considering “AI” is not their core business or even a profitable part of their business.

“If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.” – Psalm 66:18

“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.” – Isaiah 59:1-2

“If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” – Proverbs 28:9

"When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil. – Isaiah 1:15-16

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” – 1 Peter 3:12

Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered. – Proverbs 21:13

“The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.” – Proverbs 15:29

He’s got a pretty solid basis for that claim.

Start trying to figure out the best way to give away most of it.

A US security guarantee isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Tax cuts for the wealthy, the cap on social security taxes, and excessive spending on “defense” are directly responsible for the Fed’s obscene debt load.

“Trickle down economics” is a giant scam that has produced zero meaningful results in 45+ years.

Walmart acquired Vizio with the express purpose of using TV’s to serve ads. In fact, that is exactly what they said they were going to do.

No surprises here.

Gotta move every couple years just to de-clutter.

In one case, Beria picked up Tatiana Okunevskaya, a well-known Soviet actress, under the pretence of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead he took her to his dacha, where he offered to free her father and grandmother from prison if she submitted. He then raped her, telling her, “Scream or not, it doesn’t matter”. In fact, Beria knew that Okunevskaya’s relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the Gulag, which she survived.

Just… Wow.

I have to appreciate the fact that my country (US) squandered years of opportunity to repair relations with Cuba and turn them into an ally, all for the sake of a ridiculous cold war era grudge.

Art of the deal.
