Last time I was there a person with a Hawk was standing there keeping the seagulls at bay. I went in and got food and the Hawk and handler had left leaving me to defend my food from vicious gulls.

Doesn't seem like this is actually built on the at proto. Just using your Blue sky handles to send messages in another app.

That being said I took a game concept that I'd noodled on 10 years ago and completely fleshed it out in about 1 hour. I took an idea I had for a story to tell my kids before bed and have a 16 chapter book outlined in a similar time.

These are still very much my ideas, they've just been refined.

I need to consider carefully what I'm saying to make sure it understands since it tends to produce very detailed responses, that's good but it takes away from the natural feeling.

It's also way to nice - it's always saying how good my ideas are when really they are not.

If I was working an idea with someone over slack it would be messy. Lots of back and forth lots of discussion in threads. Fundamentally the base unit of the conversation would be very short messages, partially formed ideas that you share to help crystalize.

Instead it feels more like email

Serious question, do you need to iron those shirts when you arrive at a hotel or are you a demi god?

My understanding was their complaint was: why do they need to show a passport and 2 other docs to get a real ID?

Which is a valid complaint if a real ID was just a proof of citizenship / residence status like a passport is. But it's also a state issued id which includes a residency aspect.

I'm 1 to 2 levels connected from some of the most senior people at Draft Kings on LinkedIn, yet frequently got their recruiters reaching out to me (via LinkedIn) asking me if I've heard about Draft Kings?

Like what do you think I talked about with your boss's boss at his kids birthday?

As long as they're not getting married under my roof.

Question: if I'm an arachnophobe is that ok?

Zalenski needs to invite Trump to Kyiv to finish signing the Mineral deal, after all Biden made the trip so why can't Trump?

I think I've been to that hotel, I had the sinking suspicion it was run by cannibals and the shower products were seasoning me.

Paul Simon? Because if it's Boy in the Bubble it's just dated references that rhyme strung together at this point.

If the code is written by AI why is it writing source code and not assembly? Why are we reading it? At which point why do we care about quality? At some point we need to start thinking of AI as a compiler that turns Human language into software. 3/3

We need to start thinking of Copilot as the driver in a programming pair. As the navigator you the engineer should be saying "remove duplicate code".

Quebec is basically a cheat code for people in the US and Canada to travel to Europe without crossing an Ocean.
