I got to that chapter in the book (Chapter 10) and had to set the book down for a while. Not because it blew my mind or “expanded my understanding of reality”, but because I though I might understand what he meant and knew that absolutely couldn’t be the case.
The first 6 - 8 chapters are genuinely a great read, do a great job explaining all of the ‘basics’ of black holes at a level that most people can understand.
Growing up I discovered that there are two types of catholics. My church once had a temporary priest (our previous priest had just been sent on sabbatical and they didn’t have a replacement lined up) reassigned because he gave back to back anti-abortion and homophobic homilies in two weeks and we weren’t okay with that. The aforementioned previous priest routinely spoke in support of the queer community (usually just gay folks, but occasionally trans & beyond), talked about how we should be doing more to support the poor and underprivileged, and generally preacher a doctrine of love and tolerance.
But there are also Catholic groups who preach against all of that, believing that the word of the pope/gospel supersedes interpretation of it. My old roommate once genuinely said that “being gay is fine, it’s just a sin to act on it”. He went to a different church only about an hour from mine, yet they were being preached the near opposite of what I was. And as other users have mentioned, that rift can grow depending on exactly where you go in the church.
Good news! We have someone to do that for us now!
Nah, that’s the daedric lord of the hunt.
Absolutely agree.
From what I understand of out pilot, most of what the users ended up using it for was pregenerating scripts that are effectively “copy > paste > tweak” dozens if not hundreds of times but can’t be automated for one reason or another and then quickly checking the script for errors, as opposed to your pm/eng use cases, but I believe your sentiment holds true.
I don’t use LLMs because I personally do not like them, so I don’t really know where someone might think they fit best inside a workflow. But I can very easily see my self spending half an hour trying to get the perfect result by prompting rather than spend 10 minutes doing it myself because I tend to basically put on blinders once I start a task.
I don’t use AI tools when I code (my work IDE is way too old & I prefer it that way), but elsewhere where I work they did a pilot of people trying Cursor for a number of months.
What they found was that it was useful as a first step in the process, but almost always required being checked by hand afterwards. Another thing was that “code efficiency” changes fell between 10% faster and 30% slower, averaging overall ~20% slower. But almost all participants reported feeling like they’d improved by 20% faster. It made them feel like they were working faster than they were, even though it seems to have been actively hindering them.
But what about a skort?
Someone tell the AI it spelled it wrong on the shirts.
I can get behind it.

Just weighing in as a reformed Marvel fan and lifelong Star Wars fan: I started keeping local copies of that shit almost a decade ago and recommend to anyone I know to do the same. You never know when a streaming company might decide that it is no longer worth the bandwidth to host it, or if the rights will be transferred to a new service that I won’t already have (i.e. all ot them). If you genuinely enjoy almost any media in the modern era you need to have a local copy, because if you don’t some corporate entity may just decide to make it lost media on a whim because it becomes only moderately profitable.
If you look closely at eastern PEI, you can see where the fields would be between the roads. Like it up with satellite imaging and you’ll see them there.
I never thought I’d say this, but I think I miss O’Toole. He definitely wasn’t great either but he at least gave an appearance of being pro-science and caring for the average person?
I still wouldn’t have voted for him, but at least I didn’t dread what he represents.
I’ve only ever owned Android, but I was playing over a decade ago. Might just be misremembering, or might predate it’s addition.
I used to play this game so much in high school. Like, for at least an hour a day (when I should have been paying attention in class). Never had an undo button, made it to 16384 once. I have never even considered using a snaking pattern, I always did one side & top (so all rows increased or decreased in the same direction, as opposed to in alternating direction). That is so smart.
Pro: The game recieves multiple years of continued bug support & content releases
Con: $500 for EU4
Not a single apostrophe in sight
I know the copypasta is completely incorrect, but it will still make me laugh every time.
Wow, not even linking the patched version
Love going fishing in Qwebek
