- Comment on Prompt engineer : The Hottest AI Job of 2023 Is Already Obsolete 15 hours ago:
To be fair, there are tricks to it just like there are tricks for getting better Google results. But “prompt engineering” isn’t a fucking career.
It is evidence of a leadership team that is just clueless.

Nothing wrong with appreciating a strong woman. However, that sounds terrifying.

Never been so turned on in my life.

Popped into my head randomly today so I queued it up. The universe sent me that song just so it could be in my ass.

Most relatable comment ever.

Ok, going to scream into the abyss here…
I had Netscape on my 486DX2-66 with a 33.6 modem. Win 95, along with ICQ, mIRC, some NNTP reader I can’t recall… You get the picture.
Everyone I’ve told this to thinks I must have been out of my mind. But for a period of time that I recall as months I had some sort of phenomenon where Netscape would stop loading a web page (could take 10s of seconds, you know) unless you MOVED THE MOUSE. Continuously. The animated “N” on would freeze and if you didn’t move the mouse the page would just be blank, or partially loaded. Move the mouse, it resumes. Stop moving the mouse, it stops. I used to have to move my mouse in figure-eights, cajoling the machine to not give up and keep downloading.
You’ll think I’m crazy, too. But when I share this story I keep hoping someone, somewhere had the same experience. And maybe, someone who knows what was going on will chime in on some obscure IRQ conflict in Windows along with some optimization used by Netscape in one iteration caused this bug for a brief moment in time.

I want the Palm Pre form factor back. Sooo satisfying to slide that thing open or snapping it closed.
Keyboard was ok but not as good as the BB, IMO.

Your are correct. As far as I’m concerned, the original release was an early beta.

StarCraft. The original. My brain and body is hardwired to play that game. “SCV ready” triggers something. I have a fantasy of retiring in an old folks home and me and a few of my fellow geriatrics fire that shit up and play LAN games until the DNR kicks in.
