We are truly living in a golden age where you can ask a supercomputer running an LLM to write an original love song duet between a human and a supercomputer like I did tonight!

Hey @ScottAdamsSays you've been referenced in a Sci-Fi/futurist video series here!:youtu.be/Otu39FUqlxQ Go to 10:19 in where it's mentioned you said the holodeck, if ever invented, would be the last thing, etc.
Replying to @UPS
@UPS it seems I need to do an executive escalation to address your fraud and piss-poor “customer service” where I’m forced to resolve the fuckery you created for me by committing identity fraud forcing my M1 Mac Mini to be shipped back because lazy fucking driver signed illegally

@UPS or perhaps I should just file fraud and theft charges on both the guilty delivery driver AND dispatcher, AND sue @UPS civilly at the same time while showing the public how much you hate customers and love fraud: local Yelp reviews shows a long-term pattern of your fuckery.

Does anyone think intersectionality is useful?
2020 is the year I learned there is someone that sold drugs to support their math habit. Math, not meth.
What are the odds of multiple places with different data and different timeframes have the same 10th degree polynomial curve with 99.8+ fit?
There is defying the odds, and then there is blatant fraud. I know which one has happened.
I understand @UPS drivers are under extreme stress this time of the year. This does not excuse them committing fraud with customer packages by claiming they were delivered when they provably were not. If local driver doesn’t try to deliver tomorrow they’re toast, package >$1k.

@UPS you fucking frauds, now apparently my new Mac Mini M1 is being shipped back to Apple, and you have the audacity to tell me I need to contact Apple and spend my time cleaning up your mess when your fucking driver claimed I signed for my package when he never saw my building!

@UPS I will be charging you $200/hour for the time I’m forced to waste on trying to recover from your fraud, and $200/day for each day my computer is delayed, you fucking fraudulent pieces of shit. You do NOT get to steal my time because you were too fucking lazy to run clean!

The danger of trying to be an “Architectural Astronaut” in software design is you risk requiring any changes to the code ending up becoming a moonshot.

Capitalism is a system that can turn manure into food, where by contrast, socialism/communism invariably turns food into manure, given a long enough timescale, because capitalism works with practical human motivations while socialism/communism actively works against them.

I loathe singletons: inherit code with them where they assume you only ever need a single instance and when that assumption is found to be wrong, fixing the problem may force rearchitecting the entire application to avoid adding more of them.

Sometimes things are so insanely crazy that they can only be the truth.

There’s a very loud dog that’s conspicuously NOT barking right now. Fascinating.

2020: the US general election that Tom Clancy couldn’t match for unbelievability and get a novel published.
There’s a Michigan legislator in danger of a defamation lawsuit. They’ve earned it.
