Head slang best slang. I still mutter “Pussy McJudy” when trying to navigate downtown Seattle (Pine, Pike, Union, University, Seneca, Spring…)
What was that book we all read back in the day? "Grapes of Leisure"?
Logotype for the London 2012 Olympics, which is just Lisa Simpson blowing a dude
Visceral reaction, like when Lisa went to London in 2012
I think it’s that Claude is the first one that can reliably generate working software from a chat on the first try, and it just got glazed on the NPR/NYT op-ed circuit. So a whole new crop of PMC types now has hands-on experience with something stronger than ChatGPT and it’s melting their brains.
And after the second evolution, The Professor saw that it was good, and proclaimed a day of rest.
I don’t have my head all the way around it but I do think there are some looming “raw milk from local farms” problems once some of this stuff gets out of localhost and into the marketplace.
I have a friend who’s exactly that “keeper of the critical spreadsheet” guy and he’s been scratching his own itches like crazy with Claude but is now looking to monetize his custom no-code thing as SaaS and I have such mixed feelings when we talk.
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
Not exactly what you're asking, but this book lives in our dining room and has probably gotten pulled out over a hundred times in the past 10 years. www.powells.com/book/new-foo...

Bula Vinaka beachside!
Baldrick-ass spelling of “archetypal” there
Honorable mention for the wave of “we know better than Heinz” madness that caused every third restaurant to start making their own ketchup
As a recreational language user I’m honestly impressed at what these guys manage to get up to
Mountain sunset in the PNW where the sun looks like abstract pixel art
I’m just a guy with a phone but I go absolutely bananas for a non-Euclidean sunset

I’m sure it’s been said before but the whole “trade to the professor for candy” thing is so much more twisted than if they simply showed an animation of the live animal being ground up and recycled. He turns them into candy and gives them back to you!!
Recently had to have “the talk” about travelers checks with my 8 year old thanks to Home Alone
You could do it though
A gentleman never asks
I once fought my way back through 10+ levels of Bethesda Susa because I'd forgotten my beloved slender sturdy counterweighted lacquered folding chair.
And here I was just not putting boring parts into my games, like an idiot
To the extent anyone outside of CA knows his name at all, it’s as “the representative from Silicon Valley”, which isn’t exactly winning hearts and minds right now.
The controller setup is so batshit crazy that it feels like learning how to play the guitar in a dream. Then it's basically a great psychedelic sci-fi novel that looks like the future from 1982, and you read it by clicking around until you die. Then you start over and it's the same but different.
I shudder to think of the days I could plan with that form factor
