I have failed to succeed.

I would expect the Tao of backup to loose all data every so often. What is success without failure?

All is missing is the white pages phone book tethered by a chain. Pick a name at random and dial it and say: "Michael Davenport?, It's me!"

Not to be a contrarian but that vanilla look is what creates traction or commerce. When we pull into a 7-Eleven weather in Seattle or Florida people want the same experience and the same expectations. And as such with end with liminal space. A sad space where the coffee and the Slim-Jim are the same. The familiarity of nowhere or anywhere America.

Almost at the bottom of the page the highlight moves towards the window.

I was hopping; oh yes! The biggest invention of my generation.

The mini split.

But nah! It was highlighting a dumb'ol plane.

I love the article.

For my own reasons I went right away to search for the word "brutalist" which is what the older stations evoke when the cement ages around you.

Not pretty to look at it.

It reminds me of the Apple TV series Silo. It makes you want to escape to the surface to clean the camera.

The new stations on the Silver Line to IAD bring better feelings.

The 3 big ones, Linux, GCC and Git require a human to vouch/explain the work in question.

Once the 3 big ones start using LLM to review/accept the work for speed reliability sake, who knows what is going to happen.

Identify yourself clearly.

Explain your rationale for picking that person you are trying to reach.

Put yourself at mercy of the helper.

Last but not least.

End the recording and turn of the camera on your R2D2 droid.

Some move all their lives and keep adapting their movements as their age. Others did not move much through the lives and when they hit 60s and they start loosing the mobility, doctors suggest for them to move more, if anything. If you never hiked and you start hiking in your 60s for health reasons. Pick up short flat trails.

That is a great book. I like how the book describes the Wizards tackling world famine through GMO's.

AI accelerates our rate of energy consumption as we vie for efficiencies and alternative sources of energy. That is concerning.

Maybe the next book will be:

The AI and The Prophet.

Same here. Non native English speaker. The first rule is that inner squares are of size 1. Always.

Yet, in each example the inner squares shrink. Uh?

It know it was a convention to better show the arrangement, normalizing, yadda yadda.

Yet, Uh?

Musk was not going to win due to the statue of limitations. Altman was wrong to turn a non-profit to a for-profit because they need it more money (really?). Was not the whole point of Open AI to shield artificial intelligence from the amoral practices of capitalistic controls? This is yet another example of our legal system falling short due to the fast an unforeseen changes of society and technology.

The article is apropos of the NPR show This American Life "Give a Little Whistle"

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/give-a-little-whistle

People being asked for blind loyalty or to step aside.

It is ironic hear people whose whole life was dedicated to chase immigrants being surprise when it evolved to chase each other: police state.
