  1. That’s probably true. But their incompetence becomes my problem.

    RIP, Mani

    I have always dug Driving South. Listening to it now. This is the One is another great track from from debut
  3. claude helped me write two oracle stored procedures that repairs data our packaged fulfillment application fubars. Got them tested and deployed to production in a few hours. claude wrote a complex query for me this morning that looks at orders that our fubared fulfillment system doesn’t send the shipment message to our OMS so that stores and customers can get their shipment information and we can recognize revenue. I asked our DBA two weeks ago for help configuring oracle in AWS to enable email notifications based on an oracle trigger. No response. I’m gonna ask claude about it tomorrow and send the DBA instructions on how to do it. I’ve done a couple weeks worth of work in about a day.
  4. A couple songs on Stephen Wilson Jr’s cover album “Blankets” and one from son of dad album
  5. When I evaluate candidates for a position, I begin by listing a clear definition of the must have skills, preferred skills, and nice to have skills. These go in the job listing. I put a weight of 1-10 for each of these skills: 10 being the most important and 1 being the least important. I evaluate each resume against these skills and give them a rating from 1-5. 5 being the best. My spreadsheet then gives a point rating of sum(skill weight * candidate rating). Highest scores are candidates for an interview. I told HR that I’d prefer not to have names on the resumes to eliminate any subconscious bias. My team is technical so I get some candidates with bachelor degrees in india so it’s impossible to rate all candidates blindly. I assumed everyone had a similar approach.
  6. I put a pic of the characters in google translate hoping for more awesomeness. I am disappoint. Results: gibberish
  7. Transcript of the latest signal chat. OPSEC is clean.
  8. You could do one of those custom russian nesting doll things. 2025 theme trump > maxwell > epstein 2026 theme - oligarchs trump > elon > karp > bezos > zuck 2027 theme - tyranny trump > putin > xi Make it an annual tradition. The anticipation of the yearly theme will be palpable.
  9. Once again, I’m the outlier. I’m working through a complex parcel shipping server and fulfillment system messaging issue, and the infrastructure team recommended a load balancer to throttle the traffic to the currently overwhelmed parcel system complete with SYN, ACK, PSH, FIN messages. I described what the infra team recommended for a Monday action plan meeting and asked claude to make some images. 10 minutes of prompts resulted in pretty good images to facilitate the proposed multi-phase solution discussion with non-technical leadership. Sorry snagit. Haters gonna hate.
  10. The last verse of this always hits me hard. I remember the lead up in 2003 to the iraq war and being very skeptical of W, cheney and colin powell. I’ve seen the white buffalo three times live. There is absolute silence in the crowd during this song.
  11. Shocking video leak of the oakum heist
  12. The call lasted 10 hours yesterday. It will continue again today. There were 10 people on the call at any one time up to and including the CTO. After all was said and done, the vendor made a recommendation. After the call concluded, I entered the same findings from our research in claude, and claude made the exact same recommendation as the vendor. I am a claude fan.
  13. Will ai be able to read that cause I can’t?
  14. I feel like an outlier. Claude.ai helps me write oracle stored procedures, job schedules, triggers in seconds. I do have to make corrections because it doesn’t know our db schema that well. But it will generate the syntax for artifacts I’ve never created before. It’s made me >10x more productive. I come up with the “what do I need”, explain it to claude, and claude does 90% of the work. It’s also helpful to interpret 1000 lines of audit logs and summarize it. Shit. I’m on a system integration issue call right now with a parcel vendor and enterprise system vendor where we have too many end point connections to the parcel vendor system and it’s causing errors in the enterprise system’s manifesting. Claude looked at a screenshot of the connections and diagnosed the issue.
  15. I see the mavs promos on wfaa or whatever channel promotes the mavs, and they have flagg as the spokesperson. Zero charisma. It’s like “come watch the mavs” as I snarl at you. They’re forcing him to do something he obviously hates. Luka on the other hand was natural in that role. Eat shit, nico.
  16. Google’s ai overview says that some platforms put “ai created” tags in the metadata. It doesn’t sound like they all do.
  17. I use claude a lot to write oracle stored procedures. It’s very helpful crank out queries and updates that have joins between multiple db tables. But it’ll just make up column names with confidence even though I’ve taught it the joins before. It says “you’re right” a lot to me after I’ve pointed out the error. It doesn’t learn and retain the learnings as well as it should.
  18. This is the first time I’ve heard Snocaps. Sans the male vocals, I’m picking up on a lemonheads / matthew sweet sound. And their tune Avalanche channels the la’s “there she goes”. I dig ‘em.
