Hahah getting around read only access via get request communication was a plot point for the AI in Crystal Society. Though this version is much much simpler

Honestly the 2008 real estate/subprime bubble felt the same way. People were talking about the bubble popping for what seemed like forever until it actually did.

Wasn’t Kes 2-3 when they were dating? Ocampa (at least the original group we meet) only live to about 9

I believe that one was Beast Wars

Fuck I need to do something like this. I’m terrified of the loss of income though. I need to make my life cost less.

How about Ted Cassidy? He was the gorn voice, the guard android in What are Little Girls Made Of, the puppet voice in Corbomite Maneuver and also Lurch in the old Addams family show.

Missing senator Kinsey. I think he’s the one that’s most infuriating.

Uhhh splatoon raiders and Imagine Me and You (a lesbian romcom)… Lena Heady grabs a Squiffer and starts taking out hordes of salmonids? Yeah, I’d watch it.

Or maybe a lesbian romcom between agent 3 and the mechanic in London. Also pretty fantastic.

This AI work is normally not classified as “GenAI” which is what I was responding to, and the parent was specifically talking about LLMs. Usually GenAI specifically refers to LLMs as well as image/video creation.

The big data centers aren’t for the most part being built for pharma research.

I hate to say it but I think I have to now: I don’t like Strange New Worlds. I loved lower decks and SNW started out with a ton of promise (and some eps I do really genuinely enjoy) but with so few episodes and of those so few feeling like Star Trek exploration, I just think its not for me. A shame cuz I love the cast and the design.

Super happy others still enjoy it though.

This to me seems to be a very odd interpretation of the phrase “coding was never the hard part”. First, that doesn’t mean that it’s not hard, just not the hardest. Second, and more importantly, they jump to deciding what to build being the hard part as if those are the only two things?

I have used a variation of this phrase (I usually say coding was never the bottleneck at work) but I’ve never even considered deciding what to build as to be what the bottleneck is.

First, I should say by coding I mean taking a concrete design for a change and writing a single pass at implementation. Modern models to this extremely quickly with up to good performance depending on exactly what you ask them to do.

The things that take up more time in software development just for engineers, leaving aside things that design and pms do.

• Coming up with that concrete design for a change (humans may do this in many ways, one of which is writing the code without a plan and refining)
• Architecting the system at all levels. This one is continuous and huge. A good architecture will easily adopt changes as they come, but you can never foresee all possibilities, and even if you could, there’s usually other people around you who can’t, which brings me to
• Communicating the system design and coming to consensus about aspects of it. This is mostly applicable to teams and is the primary reason individuals can often outperform entire teams. It’s also one reason why throwing a second LLMs at a problem doesn’t solve it at twice the rate. You’ll never get linear scaling
• Upkeep tasks: what needs to be replaced and fixed now, how do we best monitor and alarm to figure this out in the future.

There are “what to build” aspects in here and many engineers also spend time on the overall what to build questions, but the way the article was talking about it seemed very high level.

Coding isn’t easy, it’s hard. But it’s also not usually the bottleneck in software development.

Cetacean crew members have been canon since TNG, though much more obvious since lower decks brought the whales to the forefront.

In TNG, tursiops crew members were mentioned in the technical manual as well as the blueprints, but more importantly their facilities near the holodeck can be seen in ship diagrams on screen. Cetacean ops is also mentioned by name in Yesterday’s Enterprise.

The good place is entirely fantastic, but season 1 is pure perfection.

I don’t think “becomes” canon is correct, the color shifts in film were well understood. The costume color was chosen to appear gold on TV. Gold was always correct.

I’ll grant you your point for convicted, but not rape. We’re not talking in a legal context. The form of sexual assault he was found liable for was very much rape by the standard definition, which is more the correct definition than the legal one.

Been a huge splatoon fan since wiiu and raiders is no different. Super addictive gameplay loop and great fun coop with my wife. Music isn’t as strong as the rest of the series, though. But that’s an insanely high bar

I once had a bunny named daisy, who we would call daybun. We would sing this to her CONSTANTLY

Agreed. TOS has so much greatness. Episodes do such an amazing job of setting up a mystery and then exploring why [mysterious thing] is. Like the setup of Lost but with an actual payoff for watching.

I also think it has the best pacing of any of the series except maybe DS9. Episodes have more time to breathe.

That was a fun one. I always liked the one where he put everyone in a labyrinth and took away their magic and wings.
