Meme of two muscular individuals clasping hands, one side reads "Sailors using celestial navigation" and the other reads "Game AI programmers" and above their clasped hands reads "Pathfinding via A Star"

"En gros, l'IA permet aux ingénieurs logiciels de produire du code de mauvaise qualité *plus rapidement* et en plus grande quantité, ce qui augmente le temps consacré aux revues de code et aux révisions, annulant ainsi le gain de productivité initialement obtenu grâce à la production de ce code." 😏

"The police have identified a suspect: Carl S. Therol, 56, from Hamburg, PA. When asked whether the crime might be related to the theft of 20,000 taco shells earlier Wednesday, a police spokesperson declined to comment but asked that everyone keep a close eye on their supplies of salsa."

Do NOT, under any circumstances, take this advice if the invasive procedure to which you are being subjected is for a urinary tract infection. Trust me on this.

Econ 101

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

On the market day, the witch stopped by all the stalls. "Have a care," he told the tinsmith. "You're getting fuzzy." "What?" "Do you ponder other paths you could have taken?" "All the time." "Shadows of other yous hang on you, making you indistinct. Don't lose the you you are. You're real."

Steven Miller is 41 and looks like Nosferatu's grandfather, so I guess if we're grading on a curve 38 for this dipshit sounds about right.

Calling it "American Intelligence" would be appropriate, since it's being forced down everyone's throats whether they want it or not, wastes ungodly amounts of resources and spews ignorant bullshit half the time.

Yep. I've layered socks to prevent blisters and when I couldn't afford winter boots. Would never do it on purpose in any other situation.

Here in (French) Canada, the fear was that the warmongers in Russia and the US would obliterate the world in a nuclear holocaust. No one, as far as I can remember, predicted that they might do it *on the same side*.

Reminded me of Gary Carter's last game with the Expos. The noise level in the Big O was incredible. And there wasn't a dry eye in the place when he hit his double and was replaced by a pinch runner.
