Everything Nostradamus wrote was incredibly vague and 3797 was just when he claimed his visions ended, not that the world would end then.

1999, 2000, 2012, 2025, and 2026 have all also been interpreted as the end of the world according to Nostradamus. There’s your track record.

The main problem I’ve observed with zipper merging is nobody can seem to agree on what it is. People get aggressive when you try to use the available space on the road, and in discussions online it seems people think you’re trying to queue jump if you don’t merge as early as possible.

Tangential but nobody seems to know how to drive in traffic. Pick a lane and stay in it, leave extra following distance, and try to change speed as smoothly as possible. If everyone did these three things, traffic congestion would be significantly less severe.

several reasons, but the dumbest is probably because evangelicals believe the existence of Israel is a prerequisite for the end times.

i suppose they should have just gotten bombed and done nothing

They wouldn’t sue, they’d just co-opt it. Embrace, extend, extinguish is Microsoft’s MO for a reason, it works.

The hallucinations are real. I don’t use them for longer stuff, I demand admin time for anything that’s longer than a paragraph. But for quick office politics type stuff that I don’t really care about but also need to not get ground under and also worry about coming off as blunt I’m kinda grateful to have it.

I have noticed that damn near every email I get that’s longer than a paragraph seems to come from copilot though.

Tbh I’m starting to fantasize about switching to a trade. Front line office work is for the birds.

Copilot is okay at being a copy editor for my work emails. I struggle with tone so its nice to have a built in thingy that strips my personality out of my emails. Specifically my emails to my supervisor.

For example, “hi supervisor, I checked and that email was sent an hour ahead of the deadline from the email you sent me on date x and I was waiting on access to y. What the hell are you ccing your bosses on this for,” turns into “something something per your previous email something, if I misunderstood something something, thank you for your guidance.”

In a perfect world I would have time to write all my own emails but my job is very… Communication heavy, let’s say, and I personally have a lot of work to do directly with clients that can’t simply be put off.

Tbf they’re the only ones using the agentic features, and they’re definitely the only ones using frontier models for it. That shit gets expensive fast.

The maintainer of the project probably won’t see it here, but that repo does appear to be fairly active, they’ve got thousands of merged PRs. If you contribute a better logo they might replace the AI one.

Judging by MBS’s steam account, the next Battlefield is going to be an extraction shooter about the coalition of the willing securing pipelines and putting out oil field fires. Also Tehran doesn’t get nuked in the game, it got nuked 20 years ago, and this is framed as a Bad Thing With A Silver Lining. The Line is your primary hub city and your ground vehicles are things like solar powered Abrams and cybertruck but good

What they are describing is a natural reduction in population that occurs automatically when countries become more economically developed. Trying to steer this is gonna have downstream impacts. You are not going to roll out these reforms everywhere all at once, so where are you going to start? Because if democracy and a global economy are still going to exist in 2200, relative population sizes matter. If, say, India develops their rural regions, does a 180 on feminism, and halves their population in the process, but Pakistan doesn’t, that’s going to have geopolitical ramifications, and not good ones. This kind of thinking scares me, no matter what the framing is. People are good, and we can have more of them, and we should have more of them. We just need to be smarter about how we use our resources.

You cannot build a policy in such a way that population halving is distributed equitably unless you run a global forced sterilization lottery. Which has its own ethical problems. Maybe we could, idk, all agree to eat beef twice a month instead of every day and stop throwing shit fits over renewables and nuclear before economics and water scarcity makes fossil fuel plants impossible to support. Just a thought.

Trolling is a art

Oh yeah? Which half? WHICH HALF MOTHERFUCKER?!?💢🪿🔪

Valve is legendary for being a good employer. I remember hearing about an employee who tried to tender a resignation when he was diagnosed with something chronic and debilitating. Can’t remember what. Anyway, point is, he decided he couldnt do his job, tried to resign, Newell refused to accept it and told him “your job at Valve is to get better. Come back when you’re better.” So the employee kept his pay, his benefits, all of it. And this was right around the release of HL2, so Valve was not yet the monopoly market maker it is today. Gabe Newell is a billionaire. He may or may not be a good person. But he is a forward thinker and a good boss.

Can’t have the Romulans getting pissy.

True. Without humor a person goes blind.
