I want everyone to realize that the only reason AI seems intelligent is because it speaks English.

It’s in an AlphaSmart. I’m working through disassembling the ROM to add some new features.

I’ve been working on disassembling some 8-bit code from the 90s. Fuckers returned bits from functions using the overflow bit. Nuts.

It’s definitely the worst of all of them. Zero redeeming features.

My wife got me a bottle of Da Bomb as a joke for Valentine’s and I’ve been working through that for over a year.

I used to get excited about new OS releases. I happily shelled out for Snow Leopard and Lion. Then in 2018 or so, my Mac Mini suddenly decided to put everything on iCloud and I couldn’t stop the syncing process until it had concluded and that was it for me.

Looks light a oversight on their part. Thanks for the advice.

I remember reading that copying a database while it’s in use is risky. Good to know pg_dump handles this correctly.

What’s cool is you can actually do this for music, but in a way that humans can’t even detect it.

For sure. Given that public roads are the most horrendously undertaxed public resources out there, it’s especially irritating when folks go out of their way to use them in the most self serving fashion imaginable.
