I'm confused... wasn't there a big stir about green bubbles being the lowly Android peasants?
I could FEEL when amazon removed the not and quote functions... now it's nigh-unusable.
I feel like I've seen this in more than one sci-fi show...
When ordinary cancer is not enough... double-dose.
I doubt they will even pay to have this exception coded up, much less try it out to have customers reject the higher prices. I expect it is easier and cheaper to simply exclude from operating in that state; this seems to be the pattern with other such force of law over tech company business models anyway.
I like how it was able to handle the fire's lighting effect and tent occulsion, and I wonder if it thinks of it like a fireplace, as inside a home.
I guess the technical answer would be "all of them"? It's some Dall-e 3 images muxed together, not a real game... ;-)
For love as a standalone word, "value" is the most drop-in-compatible word. To say "i love you" is to say "i value you".
The form of "in love" is a far greater mystery to me, and i usually just consider the speaker to mean something like "obsessed" or "infatuated".
This is the experience of a senior developer using genai. A junior or non-dev might not leave the "AI is magic" high until they have a repo full of garbage that doesn't work.
It can point you in a direction, for sure, but sometimes you find out much later that it's a dead-end.
AFAIK, IPv6 does not truely address the router memory concern. With so many more addresses and more bytes-per-address in the tables, i imagine it's only a matter of time till we are back to such fundamental woes as "where does this packet go"... but i suppose that is limited by the rate that people buy and move ipv6 address blocks.
Do people actually get upset if you forget their name?
If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!
If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?
How to combat creeping firefox enshitification?
I deal with a lot of VMs for varying purposes, and it seems frequent that my purpose for opening firefox is derailed by some kind of nag. For example, I frequently get the "you haven't used firefox in a while" in vms that I rarely use firefox and have to go disable the "meta refresh" option in the "about:config".
Now, I've started seeing this one... it's not even one of the passive banners but a full-page stop-the-world w/ semi-transparent background and right-click prevention.
Before I invest too much time trying to figure out how to disable these, or templating profile options en-masse, or the like... I thought I might ask... is there a way I can tell firefox that I only want it to only be a web-browser? i.e. an effective tool and not an attention sink or exciting video-game-like challenge of exploration and closing popups and suggestions while trying to remember why I launched it.
Somewhat relatedly, there is some kind of irony with firefox prominently offering to copy a URL without tracking for other sites, but when it is their own ad (however benign it might seem) that they disable right-clicks and load up on the trackers. The above button links to:

I'm here to discuss your car's extended warranty
dall-e v3 w/ minor post-generation mods. Prompt: A robotic solicitor knocks on a home's closed front door with his right fist knuckles. The robot is dressed in a suit which has a large corporate logo on it and holds a tablet in his left hand.
If someone were to call you a "full stack" developer, would that feel like a complement or an insult?
I know managers love that term, but I think I've come to hear it as an insult... Sorta like being called an unprofessional "jack of all trades" budget handyman that does everything mediocre...
If they charge by the image, and there is any expectation that AI image-generators might produce garbage results, then AI providers are incentivized to make you pay for their experimentation
without you ever knowing about it, as well as (perhaps) swapping in a cheaper-to-operate model some percentage of the time, perhaps as request loads peak, hoping you'll just roll the dice and try again.
Isolation Island
This is my attempt to recreate an image from one of my friends who is an artist. After generating the image, I modified it in gimp to better capture the feel of the original artwork.
dall-e 3 prompt: A pale human figure abstraction sits atop one of the floating islands hugging his knees facing right. The islands have round tops, crumbling dirt below, green grass on the top, and they float in a spacial void of black, blue, and purple. Some of the other floating islands are also flat-topped with grass, but some are just lifeless asteroids. There are no planets and no sun.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked computers...
dall-e 3; prompt: "The Linux computer system that every nerd can only dream of owning."
The old-guard
dall-e 3; prompt: "Photorealistic. A futuristic alien stands before you holding a spear-like weapon in a non-threatening manner."
Power overwhelming
Workflow: I asked gpt-3.5 to describe in meticulous visual detail a single panel from "BLAME!" where Killy is firing his gravitational beam emitter (GBE) in only one paragraph. I think I used the phrase "as if to a blind person" because it kept wanting to give me a narrative. I then handed that paragraph to dall-e-3 and got this image.
Levels of power
dall-e 2; prompt: A homeless cyberpunk is scavanging parts from his pile of broken robots. A futuristic male police officer walks past him disinterested.
