I wail a lot about computers and the Newcastle Knights. I also now wail about the SF Giants. Sometimes I post about chicken and gaming. You may use software that I’ve written, sorry. Currently helping humans explore space. 🇦🇺 Sydney 🕸️ https://oysta.au/

It takes out a lot of the human error, and introduces a lot of the agentic error
"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.
“Factory 42. Experience a workweek of Marxistic dwarves in a steampunk industrial setting. Negotiate and manage your resources to fulfill government contracts.” ok ok sign me the fuck up
poor old schizanon has been suspended once again, rest in piss bozo
I feel like this article would have hit hard in like 2015
On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
I’d hate to be the one that has to explain to Leo that the team named after a Saint is going to get the wooden spoon
