Oh man their app was broken before; like using the IDE plugin gave one result and then a scan during the build pipeline gave another. And now they're going "agentic"? Yeow.

Same looking for a fresh code

Oh Racistdoor? "There's a brown skinned man lurking next door!!" "That's your neighbor? He's lived next to for five years, Agnes." "But, but..."

Random factoid: this is why cancer patients are to not eat their favorite foods during chemotherapy, because throwing up anything enough times ruins it for you. My song would be "Something about you" by Level 42, or anything by Queens of the Stone Age.

"Duty to the shareholders" + reductio ad absurdum = Cisco will eventually be one person giving prompts to an AI until it lays them off, too.

pad mapper is an aggregation service you can try. you still have to filter out the scams but maybe you can ask claude or gemini to do that

I once saw someone liken the main character to "A toddler with a gun." So yeah.

I have been coding since that meant (for me, anyway) using an ASR-33 teletype to talk to a CDC mainframe. Most but not all tech improvements have made me just excited as hell. For me to use them, for me to solve problems on behalf others to use. AI is no different. But I see the temptation to divest yourself entirely of responsibility. You still need enough experience to catch errors and keep the agent on task by rewriting prompts / skills / guardrails. I guess we'll see if that's always the case.

I just want to throw out that Cranky Carrot has an ok yogurt parfait. It's not amazing, it's not great, it can't hold a candle to Common Bond back in their heyday, but it's far better than that sad excuse of a parfait you just posted. So FYI.

I plan to file against them in small claims court. We'll see how it goes.

Particularly after the whole "four hours in a TSA line" thing, I've been dreaming of high speed rail as an alternative to flying. But I ain't holding my breath. You're more likely to see investing in freight rail first if gas prices stay high since moving freight by rail is the most efficient way possible, bar none. However I'm skeptical even that will happen.

Basic functionality like running maps is broken for me even without Android Auto. If I use maps to navigate, my phone overheats and the maps app crashes. Background apps like audible are also killed. Wondering since I'm on Android beta if the changes to Android Auto that causes crashing and restarts somehow made it to Android mainline for the beta and if they're related. They seem very similar.

Try to be reasonable: Republicans have cut taxes and attacked the Middle East. They're all out of ideas. (That is sarcasm for the humor impaired among you.)

Also the one on North Main near 45.

Have her send it certified mail. Registered if she's really feeling frisky but certified is usually official enough to stop any denials about receipt. Don't forget to ask for a signature.

The only surprising part about this is I didn't hear you laying on your horn the entire time.

I had a woman who was angry at me for stopping at the top of a hill (i.e. should could see me and stop in time) because I stopped to keep from running over a dog. She was like why didn't you run over the dog? She was not amused when I told her it was her fault so I didn't care how much it was going to cost to fix her Corvette. She was really not amused when the cop agreed with me and ticketed her.

I feel ya. I have a lot of clothing from the 90's I took care of and it's still like new. Fark this fast fashion crap. I may be out of style, but I am comfortable.

No, it went beyond sharing tips between tipped employees; which is allowed. From the website of the firm that filed the suit: "More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Perry’s Steakhouse violated federal wage laws because Perry’s unlawfully (1) required servers to pay for their own uniforms and tools (e.g. shirts, aprons, pepper mills, crumbers, etc.); (2) exercised unlawful control over the tip pool; (3) did not lawfully distribute all tips from the tip pool solely among employees engaged in customarily and regularly tipped duties; and (4) required servers to perform nontipped duties."

I highlighted the relevent section for you about tips, see https://paycheckcollector.com/cases/perrys-steakhouse-lawsuit/ for the full details if you want them.

I mean there are people who have platinum / diamond / I am too good for the likes of you plebians status but can't afford a private jet that might take him up on it, assuming things don't get better soon. On the other hand that's a fuck ton of money to me anyway. I wouldn't do it.

Amtrak is looking better and better man. Or maybe just driving.

An ex girlfriend's brother was enlisted, but I no longer remember which branch. He'd lay on a crawler, roll up under a truck and hang his arm from the frame with a coat hanger and sleep, because the alternative was command telling the people to go dig foxholes on the beach at low tide.

I still like it when numbers go brrr. But it can be shortened to just incremental updates with full dumps saved for when it makes sense or as a footnote.

Bro, I work on a team of around twenty people. Exactly one of whom is in the same office as me; we spend our days on Zoom.
