reminder that one of the many practical problems with people betting on everything is it creates financial incentives for involved betters to find ways to change odds to turn out in their favor
How could it not, Spike Jonze shot the hell out of it.
Gave Claude Code a shot this week and had this exact feeling. It's like an on-call web developer who will quickly create anything you ask it for. I found it useful. Left its final response on Read: "Anything else?"
I felt guilty about it. Which I shouldn't. But it can cross the uncanny valley.
Yup, this is the one for me.
More or less. If you deal with companies that depend on DCs in that region, your odds of being affected go up, but I'd wager that's a pretty small demographic in Canada.
Holds up pretty much word for word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5xG...
Safe to say that if you're working on stuff in the cloud on N. American DCs with no footprint in the Middle East, the impact should be neglible?
My prognostication for the data centre industry is anything but rosy, but these would not be the impacts of Iran targeting a single DC in the Middle East.
Dozens of them around the world all at once... maybe? Even then there'd be local backups.

"Andy Garcia has the upper hand and is going to enjoy the hell out of demonstrating it" isn't the most common movie trope but it never fails to satisfy.
I’ve been rewatching the Henson Dinosaurs of late. They got away with some absolutely lacerating social commentary thanks to those Baby Sinclair merch sales.
Agree with your conclusion, but are you judging by who’s bombing who or by whose bombs are successfully hitting their targets?
Iran’s Shaheds largely being intercepted doesn’t mean they aren’t launching loads of them.
The storytelling is shaggier than the Vegas-set films, but Soderberg was never more uninhibited as a filmmaker than he is here and it is THRILLING to watch.
Feeling a sudden urge to throw on the Ocean’s Twelve soundtrack:
(David Holmes’ work on all three films is a triumph, but this is absolute peak stuff)

Hoppers, Nirvanna, The Bride!, The Moment

#LastFourWatched
God damn. Bravo.
“It was a horse.”
Hoppers doesn’t reach the level of the best Pixar flicks but it is funny and weird and charming and did I mention it was funny? It’s really funny!
Plays it a little too safe for my liking, but I had a good time!
I enjoyed The Bride! in fits and starts, but it’s pretty uneven, throwing a lot of ideas at the viewer that it doesn’t do a great job exploring.
Buckley is unsurprisingly fantastic. I’d watch a dozen spinoff sequels about Penelope Cruz’s detective.
"Anger is real, and so is resolve."
I was flying from Ottawa-Toronto this morning with a chatty rural lady heading to a conference. We saw eye to eye on very little, but it was never impolite, more curious: "really? you don't have a car? you don't feel unsafe living downtown?"
Nice lady. Fun convo. Good single-serving friend.
Michael Bay's The Rock is on AMC and I forgot how much I love it.
Maybe the greatest film ever made for 12 year old boys.
Super cool!
honestly I ignore everything that comes after because I don't actually think you're the brave truth teller you think you are if you're scared to say words because of a rumour that the app will limit your views
I've had an app idea knocking around my head for a while. Involves a bunch of devices/APIs talking to one another, learning barrier for a prototype was huge. 10+ years of fits/starts/attempts with nothing to show.
Claude Code got me to a working prototype in an afternoon. It's very impressive.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
Crockett is a force, and independent of last night's outcome, the American people will be well served by her continuing to be in the public eye.
I feel like removing the skull mask would do a lot to achieve his goals.
I have more than a few issues with Kaitlan Collins' conduct over the years, but she's absolutely on point here.
