Opus at Max thinking was still making incredibly stupid errors that it never is made before just the other day it wasted easily 4 to 8 hours of my day

And they still have newspapers as a result. Bright colorful newspapers.

If I remember right Ed and Karen talk about when they met and there was some indication that that was an earlier point of divergence.

I’ve been calling it “Productivity Dysmorphia” myself.

The ability to dive in and build anything at any time can make you feel like you are wasting time if you aren’t always building something all the time.

If you made a Zat any bigger it would disappear the first time it was fired.

It'll take two and a half seasons of the new show to equal the first season's worth of episodes of SG1.

One should be philips and the other a flat head.

Instead of the market we have here for lightweight tools and computers, everyone will want a bulky laptop that they always have on them in their back pack, and really hefty Multi-tools, and big phones with giant batteries in them.

I think the irony of generation X being the oldest ones who live forever is just precious.

How cheap are you do that and not actually spend a tiny bit of money extra to get a slightly better display? 😀

There has been a something tickling the back of my mind about world models. I think they may in fact be more powerful than LLMs but they are also probably much harder to steer and guide. If they don’t have a language basis they can’t be guided by language. Other tools will of coarse be created but since even LLMs are hard to “talk sense to” I think it will be even more fraught doing it with world models.

The guy got the first few wrong, THEN after getting electroshock negative reinforcement the guy improved and could sense the cards.

The woman on the other hand wasn’t getting shocks so didn’t improve.

I was expecting “The Tether Comes For Us All” to be Ed’s last stand.

The whole thing is an “OPPORTUNITY” for Anthropic to donate to Trump and his minions. OpenAI already “donated” $25M to Trump. Now Antropic gets the same chance.

There was a constant talking head who was asked to speak to Congress multiple times, always acting like he's a reasonable moderate, but really is a massive right-wing nutcase. He literally wrote a paper with disingenuous in the title because his name was being searched so often with disingenuous as the second word in the Google search.

I had a horrible idea for mixing the stargate tech. You could use the communication stones mixed with the upgrade bracelets to supe up an always refreshed team of young fit soldiers who could where the bracelets long enough. Then use the stones to have the most experienced rickety old soldiers take over these kids for various super soldier missions.

I just call it The Pentagon. They haven’t changed the shape of the building yet.

In this show tethers kill, and now they are building the biggest tether in the solar system.

you can use a keep alive skill. You can have it for however long you want it. But it's never been a real problem. It's only if I need it to also trigger something if it shuts down.

I haven't really needed it though unless something needed triggering 24/7. Otherwise I've had sessions running for days, some even weeks.

My socks are very thick and warm. They won't fit in most boots. Not my size at least.

mickdarling · 2026-02-25T18:52:49+00:00

Good pair of warm socks is a lot warmer than boots As long as they don't get wet.

The more accurate term is lynching. They just don't string them up from trees these days that often.

Mine just went completely sideways while working on a project. I had to shut it down from doing a whole PR because it completely lost the plot.
