I had no idea he played Karla in TTSS, but very familiar with TNG, the X-Men films and his turn as Gurney Halleck in David Lynch's Dune.

Dreamhost - gosh that brings back memories…

I watched "Enron: The smartest guys in the room" documentary, and I think Lou Pai is the most fascinating character in the story.

As quoted online:

Lou Pai was a senior executive at Enron who, after having an affair with a stripper, to satisfy his divorce settlement, cashed out $250 million of his Enron stock just before the company's stock price collapsed and it filed for bankruptcy protection.

I don't know if he ever knew about the stuff that was going down at Enron, but that guy managed to leave the ship in a nice boat before it sank.

AI models with worm/virus-like capabilities.

Reminds me of that scene in Chernobyl where Mikhail Gorbachev reacts to Valery Legasov explaining how melted uranium reacted with dropped sand:

"You have made lava?"

He was great in Breaking Bad.

It was one of the things I appreciated about BB - how many tv shows would cast someone with Cerebral Palsy in it? It made the show feel more genuine and realistic, along with being set in a place in America that isn't a well-known location.

I'm sad and angered to learn that his manager committed fraud with his tax payments - I hope the authorities pursue her and hold her accountable for that.

...I've an idea for the rest of where Copilot is used.

He who controls the Slack, controls the (Wordpress) universe.

I helped do the video recording and the website for the 2013 International Forum on Quality & Safety in healthcare that was held in London at the Excel Center.

One of the talks there was from Qantas Senior Check Captain David Evans, "Teamwork Under Duress" there, which was all about that flight and what happened.

It was an amazing talk, and I have a huge amount of respect for the job that airline pilots do.

I just used it on a Apple M4 MacBook Pro with 48GB RAM with llama.cpp and Pi to help diagnose an infinite looping request in a React Server component on a Next.js application.

After about 10+ hours of digging, it has apparently found a bug in the Next.js framework, with an example app that replicates the bug, and a fix for now to disable prefetch in the Link component.

I had in my prompt asked it to discover the root cause of the bug and propose a fix, but I did not expect it to dig this deep.

That was a great read.

It's only a matter of time before there are sponsors on the Yellow and Red cards...

AWS revenue for 2025 was $128.7 billion, so I'd say probably a bug.

Fantastic, this is brilliant.

I have tried to cancel a newspaper subscription in the UK a few times, which is only possible by telephone, and they have a serious churn-reduction program in place where I end up getting a major discount on the subscription.
