Meet one of my former D&D characters: Kronos, master of space and time (chronurgy wizard), accidentally turned himself into a grung while experimenting on frog familiars. Jokes that he is his own familiar now. Also has a frog familiar. Claims it is himself from another timeline. Campaign goal: to recover his lost powers. Secret: is delusional, or is he?

Look at those smiling eyes!

Probably the money paid for whomever Alex Jones lost lawsuits against – so like Sandy Hook victims.

Generally speaking, I like duck typing for function inputs, but not as much for function outputs (unless the functions are pure mathematics).

All I’m hearing is complaining. It’s open source. Fix mate then so it does what you want.

Duck typing is the best if fully embraced. But it also means you have to worry just a little bit about clean failures once the project grows a little. I like this better than type checking relentlessly.

It also means that your test suite or doctests or whatever should throw some unexpected types around now and again to check how it handles ducks and chickens and such :)

Well, that’s on mate then. In KDE you could remap to a combo of your choice with ease

The ideal result? LLMs are just early versions of much better things that come later.

The unlikely result: we develop a separate human curated internet somewhere, complete with verification that a human wrote every bit. Basically verifiable digital id and signing on everything. Maybe.

The probable result: the internet turns to shit as AIs are trained on content created by AIs.

I don’t use mate, but assuming that it has a file manager and that file manager has hotkeys that conform to the muscle memory that is built using other file managers… Try it and see what happens?

The perspective on this one keeps throwing me off. That cat feels like a tiger in this photo.

Shift-del

No, but the blanket style is. ;)

I got it decades ago from my grandfather, who could very well have bought it from a random truck stop or something.

One cat is an owl ;)

Yeah, the drones are basically maneuvering sea mines now. And many of long term loitering. Going to be weird.

Atwood is also one of the sanest centrist voices I’ve ever read, in essays and interviews. (Centrist by Canadian standards – probably quite left by US standards). She always seems to be acutely aware of institutional inertia and how things like independent courts are vital to free societies. Wish there were more like her.

Everything else went up due to tariffs

Fingers

Probably should be launched with a trebuchet

Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.

YMMV
