Had that happen recently as “x to mark as construction line” and I was like 🤯

Navigating Japan Rail is more challenging than I remember

THATS BRILLIANT - CONTINUITY CAMERA 🤯 IT'S ALREADY IN THE ECOSYSTEM

Someone get Tim Apple and Nintendo Furukawa on the line!

I could use the exact same words with a more positive attitude to make my argument 😅

Nintendo gets Apple's walled garden and mobile market, Apple gets access to Nintendo's IP, it's literally a win-win for both of them.

Why Nintendo and Apple haven't joined forces is beyond me.

Joke or not, I would die on the plastic straw hill.

Everyone can do good in different ways. I will choose one that doesn’t disintegrate or try convincing me to accept hitting myself in the face with ice when I’m thirsty.

Stop people from hyper commuting, then I’ll happily talk about straw use.

I used them when I was working on language models for natural language processing prior to everything going GPT.

It was, for a while, the best approach for NLP. It still is, in a way, but modern large language models abstract all the lower level stuff away.

Honestly? Good riddance, lol.

I'd legitimately rather just not play a game than have to use a windows pc.

That is all.

This!

Please take this seriously!

Yes, I edited out some clutter near the computer.

Work in progress build for the significant other!

Going to replace the gpu power with right angle, perhaps rgb cords so they don’t loop ridiculously. But just waiting on a couple more fans and then I’ll stitch it back up.

Engineer's spear skill 2 I am pretty sure is "Conduit Surge" it's not that on the nose is it?

Especially with bambu’s shortage of PETG hf I have been reeeeaallly avoiding reprints.

I am disappointed that no one has started using AI generated videos to teach crows how to do neat stuff like make and use tools or take over society.

So the thief’s new mechanic introduced to diversify the thief is thievery.

🤔

Hah! I could 100% see that working on Reddit.

Before I specialized in my technical skillset, I took a few project management assignments and let me tell you, nothing sucks more than being responsible for an outcome without explicit authority over people you need to contribute.

Mm, there is a trick that I tell people at work to do is to do something poorly if they aren’t getting help with it then put it out there with confidence.

The amount of “assistance” you get when someone wants to critique you is so, so much greater than help.

It’s shitty, but it’s just people.

Yeah, it was during covid though and was one of the things they said they were going to cut instead of laying people off so I was like...

Ok, well, thank you very much, but also, fuck you very much.

Like most "temporary" cost cutting measures though, it's just gone forever now.

Also, I still think the claw thing is a helm of abaddon and revs are getting madness based skills.

Miles Echo @milesecho.com · Jul 31

Look, I love you guys, but the warrior helm icon for warrior which was already pretty much the same warrior helm facing the other direction?

I know this is going to be used to bludgeon work from home somehow.

Congrats. I am happy to report my org used to have a generous gift catalog that got canceled right before I hit 10 years and that about sums up my experience in the professional field.

This social obsession is lost on me.

I do not have any desire to watch anyone throw things.

That is… a lot.

If there was a suspicious amount of nitric acid around, I’d have assumed it was a front for gold destruction 🤔

Miles Echo @milesecho.com · Jul 30

Haha!

I actually have several clamp prototypes on my desk because I wanted to make a c clamp with inlays and holes so I could swap out what it did modularly.

I think it comes with the territory of having a 3d printer like, I got it to make exactly what I want, and that’s usually not available
