  They exist. Unsure how it works now, but it’s existed for years, a small prism-like thing that would show them. Check your theater listings.

  Amorphis! Their lyricist does a great job adapting the Finnish spoken histories. ZERO idea if this is one of them, though it references the shores of Tuonela. I highly recommend the clean/acoustic version of My Kantele youtu.be/UufaC2TI7dg

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“ChatGPT said this” Is Lazy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe. But they may just paste it without GPT attribution, so we’ll see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“ChatGPT said this” Is Lazy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m getting that more and more. “I asked ChatGPT and it said”. Dude, we work for the same company and I could have typed that in, and maybe I did. I wanted your experience with it, that’s why I asked you.

  Make sure they know they just lost input right ms the next time. No, I don’t ask Harry, he just quoted GPT last time, and I’d already asked it this time so there was no reason to involve him. Nothing worse for a lead than people not wanting them to lead because they’ve abdicated the job to spicy autocorrect.

  Good for him, but also surprised. Nobody else said “you’re from the UK, and kilts are Scottish…” and ran with that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Admiral Grace Hopper on Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People (1982)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a ln adult it pisses me off that I heard about her as a kid because of the whole “computer bug” thing, but only learned about the whole “invented the first compiler” as an adult. The minimization of women (Karen Sparck Jones, Katherine Goble, Margaret Hamilton… hell, even Ada Lovelace!) is a stain on the profession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Admiral Grace Hopper on Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People (1982)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For those unaware, she was a driving force in technology. The one most people know her for was the creation of the term “computer bug”, but she helped create COBOL and helped develop the earliest compilers. She was smart as hell and one of the major innovators. You don’t know about her in part because she was military (this was only released a year ago) and because she was a woman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you stick it on its side, charging, it will run what’s called Standby mode. You can have widgets, clocks, etc. it’s cool overall, and I create a couple widgets so during the day I get some nice information while my phone is charging on my desk.

  There was/is a shortcuts client/server app where it would run things periodically for you

  But as others have said - women’s shelter, sell it, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evidence seems to indicate that research causes cancer in mice.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mice aren’t meant for too much of ANYTHING. A friend in ChemE said the mice that got cancer from saccharin (Sweet N Low) were the size of plates, they had gained so many calories from such a large dose.

  I personally love the cloud9, but the dygma looks fantastic. But I don’t mess with anything like ortholinear or Ergodox because the stagger is weird. Feker Alice looks cool too - it’s not mechanically split but does give the split curve feel like the MS Ergo

  Horror Tabletop RPG where the players are members of the government who’ve been conscripted into solving Lovecraftian mysteries and dealing with beasties and cultists. The developers are pretty busy overall, every couple years there’s a new trove of material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turns out Generative AI was a scam⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, is that actually wonderful news? If it’s doing nothing for the GDP, and the GDP went up, something is still causing that, right? So does that mean the economy is in less of a bubble than we’d thought, that we’re actually growing despite AI?

  That it doesn’t handle DNS requests is DUM. It’s a VPN-lite, but just for your browser, okay, that could be useful. But without DNS it’s giving a false sense of security.

  I’m glad he was so dumb as to show us. He could’ve been behind the scenes, throwing money at things but without anybody knowing. Thankfully, we now know what kind of person he is, and by extension which people are fine with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Allow me to share a culinary secret that instantly upped my chili and other Mexican food: Either buy cumin seeds and toast them in a pan on stovetop then grind it, or buy mcCormick brand “organic roasted ground cumin”.

  And yeah, definitely the flavor of chili.
