Unless you’re driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.

I thought Redlib no longer worked with the API changes? How are you using it?

Is this voice assistant something I can install on Android? I didn’t realize there was any alternative to Google or Siri (or Bixby).

Well except they’re not asking poor people are they? They’re asking everybody. And it’s just an ask. If you don’t want to accommodate the request then you don’t have to, but going on the internet and publicly discouraging people from advocating for the needy just because they’re wealthy is not helping anyone, especially the needy.

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

Why doesn’t Odo just put up a sign that says “nobody I don’t like allowed”

Plot twist: I will use the holodeck to simulate being a starfleet captain

Oh fun I will have to check it out

He should have won best actor for his performance as “Ian” in Jungle 2 Jungle.

The fact that it lost to American Beauty that year is a travesty

Colm Meaney’s performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!
