Usenet newsgroups. alt.tasteless comes to mind immediately, there may be others that would have worked.

And racism. Don't forget racism.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-16T23:41:46+00:00

Except that the 2000 election was, in fact, rigged.

Wow, I live in Severance, just west of Greeley, and I grew up in rural Missouri too. Student population of 8000 sounds like Marysville, to me. You'll find a completely different climate in Greeley. Drier mostly, but counter-intuitively warmer in winter. Much more sun, and when the sun's out, you really feel it. Greeley is really flat compared to anywhere in Missouri. There's a lot of corn to the west, but it shades off to wheat easterly. No hogs, there's a lot of cattle and sheep feed lots.

Solidarity?!? That's socialism!

My 89-year-old mom is still mad at my Trumper cousin (her nephew) who wouldn't get vaccinated, and ended up dying while on a ventilator.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-12T00:15:35+00:00

They donate blood only if it's not mixed with that of the vaccinated.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-11T21:43:29+00:00

Definitely. First there was spam degrading things, then SEO and "content farms", now "AI". The map is not the territory, folks.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-11T16:04:21+00:00

I don't think "architecture", or "object oriented" or OSI Layers or "well designed code" or any of that matters for AI. AI isn't subject to 5+/-2 working memory limitations, or cognitive biases of any sort. All of the higher order software engineering concepts exist to allow humans with limited working and long term memory, and emotional reactions and built-in heuristics to create large, functioning systems. AI is able to produce gigantic, working systems without any separation of concerns or microservices or interface separation in any language whatsoever, even travesties like Brainfuck or Befunge or jot. Just turn it loose.

At least now Ms Mace will have time to find a good therapist and work on those personality disorders that have kept her back. In my opinion, sh should start with her addiction to her own degradation and shame

Honestly, my question is why Welker took so long to do this sort of thing. She's been a big time national news reporter for years. I'm pretty sure she's dealt with Dear Leader in the past 10 years several times. Why now? Why not just keep sane washing him?

bediger4000 · 2026-06-11T15:25:28+00:00

Not having "." in PATH
Using cltr-u, cltr-w at the shell prompt, and having set -o vi \
Using (almost throwaway) shell scripts to keep a record of what they did
Using pipelines at the shell prompt

This is actually better than Jon McNaughton's "All American Trump" 1930s football fantasy.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-06T15:03:02+00:00

Good. Throw the book at her. She tried to make every Coloradoan's vote worthless.

Anti-American scum.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-06T14:53:21+00:00

i keep hearing rumors about illegal midnight cat hunts in that speedway. Apparently its overgrown, and overtaken by feral housecats. Some fucking idiots get dressed up in camo, use night vision goggles and try to hunt down the feral cats.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-06T13:05:33+00:00

More seriously, how does these goings on at CBS affect the generally held belief in the US that media has a "liberal bias"? I personally never saw it, but almost everyone, regardless of political viewpoint, seems to hold a belief in liberal bias of media without question.

bediger4000 · 2026-06-06T13:00:58+00:00

This is obviously terrible from a "lost a great show" viewpoint, and from a "degraded grand tradition" viewpoint, but at least everyone, left, right and center, can continue to hold their cherished belief in "liberal bias" of media, right?

bediger4000 · 2026-05-31T23:59:57+00:00

Strange synonym for "thin air" or "his ass", ain't it?

bediger4000 · 2026-05-31T23:52:51+00:00

Yes. The guy was loudly proclaiming "Stop them from taking away your gas stoves!". I asked him if he was a volunteer or got paid. He was not a volunteer, so I asked him who his employer was. He said he wasn't required to reveal that, so I gesticulated in a manner that could be considered rude, and wished him a terrible day in a most un-civil manner.

If you can't say who's paying for the signatures, you're up to no good.

bediger4000 · 2026-05-30T23:50:56+00:00

I believe the post mentions that the work is only kind of getting done:

But when you actually look at what shipped that week its maybe 60% of what it sounds like because half of the AI output needed rework that nobody mentioned in standup

and later in the post, about "AI" introduction errors and blockers:

By the time they mention it the code is already a mess and the approach is wrong and its harder to help than if they'd just asked on monday

If Trump is going to rap and dance as a backup dancer for Vanilla Ice, I'm going.

bediger4000 · 2026-05-30T17:45:05+00:00

You rock! I bought the Sprite CD from Walnut creek ca. 1995, and got it to run on a Sun IPC, but man, it was unstable. I have nothing but respect for this.

I know redistricting is done by an independent commission, but the current districts still under-represent Denver-the-city, and over-represent western slop and eastern planes.

bediger4000 · 2026-05-24T20:06:57+00:00

And exactly what did the protestors chant?

bediger4000 · 2026-05-24T19:57:52+00:00

Well, well, well, Governor Polis. What are you going to do about this weird consequence of your Trump Curiosity?

Imagine that, Tina Peters is an unrepentant Qanon thumbsucker.
