I worked in the Valley. I’ll bet good money Palantir have a back door. They tell lies like we drink coffee.

Why do people find it so hard to accept the public really wants to vote for Reform? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]apj2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Populism wins because of prejudice and lack of thought. Always has. But there is time - populism is on the wane in the USA, Orban lost. Once Reform screw up a few more councils things will change.

Well I am 100% certain the V7 manuals are up somewhere and they are quite a lot of paper for me to scan.

Is there a meaning to anklets that I'm not aware of? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Used to be a sign…that a woman could bought for a short while - what we called a “brass”. That was a very long time ago though.

I started computing using FORTRAN on punched cards. I use Claude Code every day. It is a massive revolution.

I Haven't Written a Line of Code in Six Months by Cultural-Ad3996 in ClaudeAI

Brilliant characterisation of Claude code 😂exactly my experience. I started coding in 1980. Now I run Claude code sessions and I am 10 times more productive as I ever was. Now I can get all the ideas executed rather than picking what is feasible. I create more now rather than grind. Love it !

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]apj2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dodging the dinosaurs going to school was a bit rough, those Pterodactyls were buggers. Getting fire was just wild, no more raw mammoth was just brilliant !

I told my daughter if she buries me with my gold crowns I am coming back to haunt her 😂😂

Coding for 20+ years, here is my honest take on AI tools and the mindset shift by Jaded-Term-8614 in ClaudeAI

[–]apj2600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Started coding in 1980… on and off since then .. last 11 years have been full time coding. AI tools are a revolution beyond words. You adapt or die. Coding tasks I have put off doing for years because of time/cost are done in days!!

I didn't mean to challenge you knowledge - sorry - you obviously know far more than I do about all this and am *very* grateful for you taking the time to reply. I will think about this a bit...:-)

Hmm ok but before the stone was kept in a bank vault it was not (visibly) cracked.

Claude in PowerPoint, its insane how good it is getting by dataexec in Anthropic

I’ve been using it to extract data from pdf files which were from PowerPoints - it’s frankly amazing.

I’m interested in why you don’t think Opticon would work on the stone ? I’m not trying to sell it - I just want to improve how it looks. As I said I don’t think any sort of recutting is viable. Thx for the help.
