If you play in an orchestra, you might have the visual memory of the conductor and their time signature motions helping you along.

The somewhat jarring tick tock of a digital metronome can also be encoded into a sort of background track that plays more or less automatically in your head.

Literally impossible to tell whether this is parody or an actual response any longer.

I challenge anyone to write something so stupid that an LLM couldn't possibly respond with it. I don't believe such limit exists.

I think that big tech recently decided that I got 99 problems but staffing ain't one

I guess Nothing is a staffing problem when you make a rule that firing people is always the solution.

That's gross even by Microsoft standards.

Considering the grand total of experiments we've ran on the little guys, I'm kinda surprised we haven't bred Mousezilla yet

> Although the birds occasionally made mistakes, they more often confused calls with similar meanings rather than similar sounds. “Their responses indicated they have a mental imagery of the meaning of their vocalisations,” Elie said. “In other words, that they understand the meaning of their call types.”

And it's slowly becoming the norm. The last place I worked at, a large and well known Tech company, didn't even roll with QA's. That just wasn't a role anywhere in the division. You are fully responsible for all the bugs in all the code you ever wrote

Cute at first. Unsustainable in the long term

It's surprising how often this principle is applicable.

What a contrived way to spell "democracy"

It's the complacent ones we have to keep an eye on: they are absolutely everywhere.

Bonus points if you find yourself actually saying it out loud while typing it.

I have used the word "shenanigans" way more in a couple of years of agentic coding than in 30 years of writing code with humans.

Is this why airline routes look like they are "hopping" on a map?

When I was a kid, I thought this was meant to represent the Z axis (so until today)

(I guess saying "The Incredibles" would have been shorter, but it feels weird to credit them with this style)

We're quickly getting to a point where all parenting is delegated to people and institutions that have nothing to do with raising children.

And then we complain that our kids are not being raised properly. We don't even know who to blame for this any more.
