He went all-in on his takes. Most were on the money, some were big misses. He was very good at what he did. R.I.P.

No need for going there, it's all just filler for the text:

I think you nailed it. If the CNC machine makes your widget, then you made it. If it didn't make you the widget correctly, then you made a paperweight, and you're not a machinist, you're somebody making paperweights.
How could you have heard it all before if you've never bothered to look at the information?
Convert this C program into x86_64 assembly for Linux.
I made this argument yesterday that this is the real breakthrough for coding. Languages, syntax, frameworks, etc. no longer matters. ASM, Fortran, even punch cards are back on the menu if you're bold enough to prompt for it.
Best Clamber-Man video game ever.
Ok, then how about above? Elon and friends want to launch them all into orbit.
Refusing to acknowledge sources is pathetic. The information directly refutes your cartoonish take on the problem if you're brave enough to pull yourself into reality.
Meta had the right idea of adding older RAM to their existing servers instead of just buying more. Shame how nobody really noticed. Reduce, REUSE, recycle is the correct order and what we should be doing.

War with China has been on the roadmap for 10+ years.
I don't know what agenda you're going with, but it isn't reality. They're destroying water tables. I'll leave this link here for you to read if you're brave enough to step outside your Captain Planet cartoon narrative and have an actual look at the water consumption problem.

Dead with no funeral, no burial plot, not even a mention in the newspaper. But, you can own the original NFT eulogy as an NFT! There are many copies floating around but this one is the original. Bidding starts at $100,000.
A: Because they can get away with it.
Your two friends are factually correct. You somehow misinterpret how much water they consume.
I don't find value in it. The hard search results are usually better than Google, but not always better than Google. And when I'm paying for it, it needs to be better every single time or I'm not a happy customer. They need to do better and index more relevant results and vaporize the crap or give me a $.99/month subscription.
Those little virtual stickers isn't enough? What else could you possibly want as compensation?
Almost. NYSE:RDDT has decided that plain HTML is unprofitable. That is the entire premise in one sentence.
Mark your calendar. When the next generation asks, you can tell them it was today when the AI enshittification era truly began.
Yet another quiet moral failure at the 'don't be evil' company but this one has a happy outcome.
Shut up about the exact location, but do tell us about it. Just make it hard enough so the ignorant tourism industry cannot find it.
Tackling software architecture is not programming, that is architecture. They're called different things for a reason. It is now easier to write working code via AI. Anyone that can type can do it. The syntax (language) barrier is fully removed. I'm done with syntax, looking up the new right way to do things, etc. It works via prompting. Tell it what to write and it comes out the other end with a working program. That's programming, and that's not an opinion. This alone makes it easier to program.
Castle means fortified stone building then? What are you considering? Wikipedia has many more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_castles_in_the_United_...
Why nothing in North America but forts? There are lots of ancient structures that should be considered. Ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montezuma_Castle_National_Monu...
Life existing at the extreme of liquid water is indeed unique. Dropping some of them into the boiling oceans of Enceladus and waiting a hundred years would be a fun experiment.
Conflated terms because they've been that way for a very long time. If you're being strict, all computer viruses stopped being a problem a decade ago.
Those that actually understood security, and weren't on some kind of open-source enforcement mission in life, always knew the "Linux doesn't get viruses" statements would not age well.

Cognyte sells a lot of snake oil – for instance, the company claims to have created software that predicts where crime is likely to occur in the future.
So they claim to implement machine learning which is snake oil?
Good use of the .money TLD
You're not missing anything. Here is the full text: (this could have been an email:)
On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.
He did not look at any other cameras in the entire 400-camera network that day.
The community center shared their cameras directly to the PD under the pretense that access was “solely for real-time critical incident response.”
Flock and Dunwoody elected officials both say this was for a “sales demo.” They claim this was “part of authorized activity approved under the city's demo partner agreement.”
The problem with that is that the city cannot provide any information that that demo partner agreement exists.
What kind of sales demo would require looking at one camera in a children’s gymnastics room? Can anyone rationally explain why a police agency that is interested in Flock would like to see one third-party camera integration that is in a children’s gymnastics room?
