Making the world more dependent on American crude would be a bullet point in their strategy powerpoint, if they actually have one.
I'm sure they don't have a strategy but if they did it would be generated by GrokAI and would be full of stupid, dangerous bullet points. And deepfakes of Jesus H. Trump.
I have never even heard of or noticed "allbirds" shoes. Ever. And I was just looking for shoes on Amazon. I just searched for "Sustainable shoes" on Amazon and not a single Allbirds result came up. I bought 2 pairs of Altra shoes thinking "this is not a real shoe company" but I guess what the world needs is more shoe brands. There seem to be infinite shoe branding possibilities, yet all our shoes look very similar..
"The Company will initially seek to acquire high-performance, low-latency AI compute hardware"
"initially seek" - why not "will acquire?" Anyone dumb enough to read this kind of drivel and think "take money please" is well, probably a good portion of algorithmic traders out there.
High performance AND low latency?? You can't have it all!
Wait a minute, this whole press release is AI-generated, as is the article. Is Allbirds even real? I see a new "shoe company" every day in ads. I figured it was one of those easy online retail businesses based on the JIT manufacturing capabilities of dozens (hundreds?) of small companies in Vietnam.
I will initially seek to acquire infinite-performance, zero latency AI compute hardware. Please buy my stonks.
It takes a lot of people to figure out how to make money on a free application that requires a lot of infrastructure. But now that they are a porn.
Snap inc has 5,261 employees. or 4,261 now.
When people say "how the hell does [company] need so many employees" it's clear you don't understand how many executive and middle managers it takes to keep workers feeling like they're being constantly shit on. And then to show appreciation for all the good work by
I can't imagine he was a sound tech at all these shows, they're in a lot of different venues. I pulling the stereo feed from the board would be ideal, but most live recordings also have crowd noise which is something I could do without. Unless you want the crowd sing alongs...
Lounge Ax! Empty Bottle! The Vic! Metro! That's crazy, this guy went to every friggin show. There are a lot of venues listed here that I've never even been to.
I don't see any mention of the recording equipment, but I'm guessing it's a mono tape recorder. I believe he had permission to record all of these shows for posterity, so sneaking in a mini-recorder wasn't necessary. Even in mono these would be super cool to work on mixing down. I imagine the tapes were digitized and normalized and not much else.
I would like to re-master some of these to see if I can get a good dynamic and frequency range out of them. I wonder if he got the Kraftwerk show live at the Vic.
The FBI has a position open. You'll get your own office, in the basement, kinda out of the way of everything else. You may be paired with a Special Agent who is supportive but skeptical, who is often surprised to find that there is indeed some surprising element of the supernatural or extraterrestrial at play.
All my core memories are traumatic. PTSD is having the wrong kind of selective memory.
Coffee works wonders for combat readiness.
I remember a girl who never shut the door when she went to do her business. To this day I cannot fathom why she did not value her own privacy. Not embarrassed to make any kind of noise whatsoever, and then just start singing on top of that.
I don't mind writing prompts to generate boring code. I don't even mind iterating with Claude on not so boring code I don't have time to work on. I'm not really excited about hand-writing every piece of code my company wants me to write today, just to throw it away tomorrow or hand it over to a team of E1 contractors in IST.
What I do mind is that for every idea I have, Claude can bash it out to some degree, but it can't currently figure out how to manually test anything. I can't really throw code over the wall without manually testing it yet. I would if that was acceptable, but even with what the code coverage tool says is 100% coverage, I see bugs that could have been found before they got to production if the coder just ran the frigging code locally. Or the tests. The bottleneck right now for getting everything done RIGHT NOW is testing. I have 9 contributions lined up, but none of them are getting merged until I manually see them work.
"MemorialCare"
Does not sound like a healthcare company for the living. Are these private equity backed healthcare companies or non-profits as they should be?
"so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it"
This kind of Founder Worship is surreal, although it does exist to a large degree in cults. This goes beyond putting statues and busts of Zuck in all the offices.
He wants to be the first immortal founder.
"has also started spending five to 10 hours per week coding"
oh come on now. Not even coders spend that much time coding any more. Not if we want to keep our jobs!
Wow. That is insane but I believe its in the works already. I thought they crossed the line when my dead pets started begging for virtual kibble.
except it's in the NY Post so it's probably all lies. I guess it's plausible that those planes got stuck in the mud, since you can splash down in the mud, but good luck taking off. I figured most of the flying machines involved got so heavily peppered that they were total losses.
We'll have to wait for the Kathryn Bigelow movie to come out to see the REAL story.
He could have 2 Lotus Notes that don't work.
OR the whole mission could be running on Node.js! Javascript everywhere, even the moon!
Staff meeting in the conference room in 3 minutes.
