Yes, that's a must. It's the "And then..." part. Who's a potential candidate that we can back now to run in 28?

Envious that you get the ed winged blackbird. But I do have a collection of different woodpeckers.

Free paint would help. That has gotten expensive. And get people to watch Onward for inspiration.

Absolutely. We need to be building a deep bench, and really have not done that.

Just watches the opening episode of this weeks Dancing with the Stars. I know, ABC and all... Their online voting suddenly had a problem, and I have to wonder if that was some prediction market folks attempting to stuff the ballot box.

there are way too many apps out there that are just the "Ruby on Rails" book made into an App.

Yes, you do. And, believe it or not, Dollar Tree.

really? It's been all around us for a while now. From Keurig cups to "disposable" platics we are surrounded with convenience that is killing the planet. AI is just the most recent and most obvious form of this.

I have been saying this for a long time. Fines must be all of the profit from the act plus punitive damages. I prefer multiples of the base, rather than small percentages. Like 2x profit from act at minimum.

Reminds me of the Andromeda Strain as well

I guess it's my negative experience early on with NeverLost that made me cynical of these apps to start with. That and Larry Niven's short story.

Someone has to. They stopped teaching that in schools ages ago.

Puts me in mind of a scene from Ready Player One.

that, and finding that some registrars don't do single letter domain names. Weird.

Martin @helix90.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
today's wild hair involved looking at some domain names. Sticker shock doesn't even begin to cover it. 3.8 million dollars? Seriously? I mean, it's an amazing domain name, and currently available for some reason, but still...

Damage is to their car, they file the claim. Your insurance will probably call you to confirm details, that's about all the interaction you should have.

does that make speach to text the verbal component?

Martin @helix90.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Absolutely. Having had to deal with video game addiction, the code completion and generation is that same dopamine hit.

that reminds me of touring the Olympia brewing company and seeing the open taps in the cafeteria. They talked about how employees didn't drink that much after the novelty wore off.

Length of time registered. You can't move up from CA and run for office in the same year. Gotta settle in and become Oregonian first.

What does the sale contract for xAI say about that? I suspect it's a pig-in-a-poke kind of a deal at this point.

Right?!?!?!! I swear they want to just pile everything into the compose file.

It accelerated the effect that was already happening for many reasons. SO had lost quite a bit of it's status already, but the happy slop bot is so much easier to get an answer from and it doesn't talk down to me when I ask a question.

Amazingly enough, in under two hours, I have now spoken to an actual live human being. Now on hold while they coerce the computer into doing the thing it should have done through the website.
