* I've worked with too many Sth Africans.

I think the real moment is when we cross that uncanny valley, and the AI is able to elicit a response that it might receive if it was human. When the human questions whether they themselves could be an android.

He also has a few nostalgia triggering covers of some Galway tracks.

We used to call them Enterprise CMS: SiteCore, Squix Matrix (now Squix DXP) and Optimizely (when it was EpiServer) are the ones I've built sites with.

The fake fainting might be an easy get out of having to cheer and bounce for ages.

The problem was as soon as he got the patent, it was available to view in countries where the cost to enforce his patent wasn't viable, and the market very quickly filled with cheap imitations. He straight out said at the time he regretted getting the patent.

The cross-over that we need to focus on is whether their neuro-divergence is actually debilitating.

The swivel seats on the Ibusuki No Tamatebako are cool, and probably give you a better look at the sheer drop you're travelling on.

Tried it as my background for a bit as it looks good tiled, but mainly used the two tartans or just a solid blue.

Just wait till they offer "Developer Certification" so you have to pay them to get a shiny little badge and a certificate while they go around saying no badge = you're shit.

I did read your previous story (not as polished but still interesting) and noticed in the image that linked to "beautiful but the Mandarin module has a tone recognition bug that makes it nearly impossible for non-native speakers", that the tone bug was Hebrew rather than Chinese characters. Interesting...I might have a look again and translate.

With AI-generated text where there is this disconnect between the audience and the prompter who has an idea but not the skill to express it. Would you say reading an English translation of Dostoevsky is similar because you're connecting with the interpreter rather than the actual author? Or something as simple as an Asterix comic where the English translation is rarely literal but uses different English plays on words?

Personally I have an uneasiness with it and are correspondingly cautious. Often after a review and edits it loses that "smell". I kind-of felt the same about NPM and package managers for a long time before using it became obligatory (for lack of a better word).

Are we conditioned to use other people's code unthinkingly, or is it something else?

As an allegory it reminds a lot of one I read as a teen: Joshua by Joseph Girzone. Not a literary masterpiece but a cleaver thought-raising story.

This is my common issue from building websites for SMEs. It's not until Google updates their algorithm - killing their ranking and their sales leads slow that you hear from them.

There is wisdom in constantly up-selling to your customers (we offer management services, SEO and are cautiously moving in AIO), they may say no, but you have a fall back that you offered things that would have mitigated their current crisis.

It actually improved on the original by introducing new maps, which probably helped players unfamiliar with the original game who could probably draw the map from memory.

Games could often stall where a real-life didn't allow a player time to make their moves.

Early stage you want the generalists who can do everything, move fast and probably break things.

There's an inflection point where you want to stop breaking things and for that you need specialists. Experts in scaling, security, optimisation and code purists.

Finding new roles for your generalists at this point could be hard, even harder will be having to let them go. It's possibly something you should consider at the start and give them the ability to vest and leave for a new greenfield. Alternatively find them a role as an architect/lead where it's their responsibility to be across everything and able to bridge between teams because they have your domain and institutional knowledge.

On the positive, my neighbour has a sensor camera and let us know one of our dogs was out wandering in front of his house. No idea when or how he got out the gate so we had no idea he was missing.

The sound was always tinny and in mono from the small speaker you hooked on the window, but it was fun and very cheap.
