When I talk to LLMs, I find myself preferring short answers. I'll add "Just give me the list without explanation" or "One sentence answer" at the end of my prompt. Do other people do this? Do you prefer conversational answers? Do you read the answer or have it spoken to you?
The Manhattan Trials
The Twin Cities Trials
The Burlington Trials
Does anyone else ever get "phantom laptop DVD drive syndrome"?
I tried dragging the rotation box, but it ends up looking the same.
I'm making the slides for my talk for PyTexas2026 (April 17 to 19 in Austin, tickets now available at www.pytexas.org/2026/ )
Can anyone tell me how to rotate a circle in google sheets?
ICE thinks we're dumb but I clocked this dude immediately at Ramsey Sheriff office (skyway) downtown
Every "woke" sticker on a blacked out tinted truck lol

Cali plate not in database yet but masked driver floored it when I took pic

LOOK, IT'S OBVIOUS. YOU GO STEAMPUNK.
I recently re-read A Confederacy of Dunces for the first time since high school, and wow it's an incredible book and really ahead of its time. But, yeah, the whole "lol the joke is that he is fat and unattractive" does detract.
There should be some grand unifying theory of change timelines, because it was all standard for me: ten minutes to do the actual change, two weeks of bumpiness, and then after that it was just a habit.
When I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo, from Chrome to Firefox, and from Windows to macOS, from MS Office to LibreOffice, I had the same thought: "That was a lot easier and quicker to get used to than I thought."
I think about this take more often than I'd like to.
XKCD 1205 comic
The thing I never liked about xkcd.com/1205/ "Is It Worth The Time?" is that it doesn't consider the fact that the time you spend automating a task is time spent practicing programming and getting better at programming. As devs lean on LLMs to code for them, we're going to learn this the hard way.
My gasts! They've been flabbered!
I have a lot of these "teaching people to code" tips in this handbook I made for the MADE (Oakland's video game museum): inventwithscratch.com/Scratch_Clas...
One thing I stressed to people teaching others how to code is that you should NEVER put your hands on their keyboard and mouse. Have them do everything, because if you do it, they won't learn anything.
Anyway, so on the topic of agentic AI coding tools...
this war has already wiped out the stated gains from what DOGE did last year lol
If someone says they believe in God, they might be okay or they might be not okay. If they start talking about the Devil and Armageddon, they are ALWAYS batshit crazy.
As someone who always uses and links people to the Death Generator, this is a very good idea, unfortunately.
I didn’t even know there was Israeli propaganda saying it was an Iranian missile misfire until I went on FB. Many actually believe this.
Nor did I know until this article about Israel’s long history of targeting schools like this—outside Gaza and before 2023.
Targeting schools as “centers of gravity“ in Israelspeak is intended to weaken the resolve of the civilian population and decrease support for the war. Israel’s goal is to stoke a popular uprising in Iran.
This strike on little girls on day zero of the military campaign is meant to do just that.
Cops are great
Rigged casinos are a great way to make money from insider information.
Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

Never forget who you’re fighting for.
The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.
