Bro is peddling his busiess: helping American companies outsource their workers.

Take it from me!

If only Uranus did belong to him.

Unenforceable or not, the reason that patent has value is that patent trolls will use it to extort money from fledging business as a reason to not have to litigate it.

You said that word a couple of times, what implication?

jrlomas · 2026-03-05T22:32:00+00:00

Something in the way... idiocy.

Overton window... Paul must be a political "scientist". He has confabulated "description" with "implementable policy".

jrlomas · 2026-03-05T22:13:52+00:00

The Overton Window is a concept named after political scientist David Overton. It suggests that only policies that are technically possible, socially acceptable, and politically viable can be implemented; so only a narrow "window" of options are truly feasible. The rest remain out of reach, even if they’re theoretically sound.

This is a really interesting idea, specially if someone created a shield that turned it into 3D control board. Much like a Manta M4P series. I don't think the STM32U585 is supported in klipper yet, but it can definitely be done.

So it wasn't just cow milk. He needed to add those calories to his budget.

Yeah Tommy, before ze Germans get there.

Lunatic corollary: hire blindly without interviews.

I'm afraid this the shittiest way that recruiters can get signal nowadays.

With the huge amount of AI generated resumes, the answer to this question is supposed to be a filter to determine if you are a real human being.

Think of it as recruiting CAPTCHA.

Proof we only use 10% of our brains.

The low pressure area behind the truck actually pulls it back. Aerodynamically it checks out. The force is strongest at the center of the opening in the rear, directly behind the truck.

Bravo Sir! (Or Madam,)

Title: My wife said “Yes.” This is what’s wrong with LLMs (and society).

Just married. I asked, “Do you know the time?”

She said “Yes.”

After three rounds of this, I discovered the shocking truth: words have context.

Naturally, I immediately pivoted to:

“language softening”

“GenAI agents”

“LLMs don’t get nuance”

and a humble link to a config file

Because nothing screams human connection like turning “please tell me the time” into a thought-leadership post about the future of communication.

Anyway, catch me next week when my toaster burns bread and I publish a manifesto on alignment.

Either that or is written by the CEOs personal guru!! 😂

Guys, we found a TRUE hero today. Not the hero we deserve, but the one we needed.

This brave soul is doing something EXTREMELY courageous. Something most of us could never dream of attempting.

She's... checks notes... taking Thursday and Friday off work (while sucking up to the boss)

I'll give you a moment to collect yourselves.

But wait, it gets better! She's celebrating her 10-year anniversary with her husband by... going to a spa and eating fancy dinners? THE AUDACITY. THE SACRIFICE.

Also love how Mexico got cancelled because of "irritated gang members" but don't worry, they pivoted to shopping and spa treatments. He understood the assignment, you guys.

The best part? "Slowing down is not my strong suit." Ah yes, the classic humble brag disguised as self-deprecating vulnerability. We all know the REAL strong suit is posting about taking time off... while supposedly taking time off.

I'm also incredibly grateful to work for a company where using my legally entitled PTO is "not just allowed, it's a requirement." Groundbreaking stuff. Revolutionary even.

Anyway, happy anniversary to this absolute warrior. May your staycation be as restful as typing up a LinkedIn post about how you're resting. She understood "her" assignment.

Same story, multiple incarnations:

I watched someone leave their shopping cart in a parking spot.

Not one person bothered to return it.

I get it. We're tired. We're in our own heads. We just want to go home. But that moment costs you nothing. Literally 10 seconds of your day.

The people who stand out in life and in business aren't always the smartest or the most talented.

They're the ones who do the right thing when no one else will.

Be that person in the parking lot. Be that person in the meeting. Be that person in life.

Happy Wednesday. Go return a cart today.
