@JoeWynne We should get a list of where it's available.

I know that Eddie Muller is doing a watchalong of #RideThePinkHorse this Saturday. Maybe the following one, 2/28?

receipt of the day, found in the back cover of my used but pristine copy of McGee's 2004 update of On Food and Cooking.

I think placing the receipt in there was the only time the spine was cracked.

Thank you anonymous purchaser. I paid $14 for it from Kitchen Culture on SE Foster.

Local Idiot parks car illegally during telephone-pole replacement and will be surprised if car covered with cement dust, creosote, and possibly a pole.

I can't see the title of #IRememberMama without thinking of the 70's horror movie they titled similarly. #TCMParty

Additional perspective: I want to emphasize what a revolution this statement is:

"Even when the LLM makes changes that work, they're not what a human would do and they don't care."

Code has 2 purposes: communicating to humans and instructing the machine. The Slopware Revolution is giving up on the first. They don't care.

OK #NoirAlley noiristas and #TCMParty Fam. This movie, Monsieur Verdoux, is available on Criterion.

Who wants to do a group watch?

@karabaic

Wait, there's an Orson Welles-written Charlie Chaplin film about this guy?

2 (cont'd) in history, but instead web developers just gave up and decided that they didn't want the advantages of objects, they wanted slopware they had to be made responsible for running to make sure it actually kept running.

Software is so fucked. Balance your checkbooks. Slopware is coming for your money.

2. Devops, where those responsible for creating code were made responsible for running it. Devops was an interesting admission of failure of the object-oriented "revolution", which was roundly rejected in the widespread adoption of functional languages like Javascript. We were supposed to have self-contained libraries of objects like 's AppKit, the most successful dev tools /

@adwright Yes! That needs a viewing.

A friend of mine is telling me how his company is using Gemini to turn their developers into "orchestrators" and I realized that this is the convergence of two trends:

1. Codebases that are too large for one person to understand, so organizations have essentially given up The codebase itself is treated as slop, so slopifiying it more with LLMs isn't considered bad. Even when the LLM makes changes that work, they're not what a human would do and they don't care. /

@UrquhartMP He wishes he looked that good.

I was today years old when I learned that Landru, from the #StarTrek "Red Hour" episode, was the name of a real person, a French serial killer who operated during WWI.

How we'll react when it happens

"The Dow is 50,000" is the new "At least the trains run on time."

only prepared to enjoy project hail mary if they verhoevened it and the entire movie is from "rocky's" pov with every human a pathetic loser
