@jbcrawford '“When somebody overpays a meter, often, somebody pulls up. They see there’s time on the meter, then they get a ticket because there wasn’t enough time, so it was easier to rest the meter back to zero, so when you put your money in, you know it’s zero minutes,” explained Mayfield.' goddamn lol also looking forward to the widespread deployment of these and the likelihood that rain or direct sunlight or whatever can erroneously trigger it, zeroing your time while you're still parked
Overheard in the airport: "Oh, it's AI generated, that's terrible".

Speaker about AI and platform engineering using AI generated graphics for his slides, which is why the word cloud actually says "flaaatforn eugineering" next to "AI" repeated three times. The word cloud, the most cliche of all illustrations, and we can't even make them right any more.

@quantsini "I hate <generally good thing> because it has a positive effect without sufficient suffering" is a pretty common sentiment whether you're talking about drug policy, climate change, sex ed, urban planning...

Are you feeding these images into some sort of AI thing to generate the descriptions? Because it's pretty inaccurate. I can't see any mattress or wheelbarrow, and there are people in the picture! "The image depicts a narrow street in what appears to be an older urban neighborhood, likely from the early 20th century. It's captured through black and white photography which gives it a historical feel. On either side of the street are rows of multi-story residential buildings with various architectural details such as wood siding on some facades and decorative elements around windows or eaves. Many of these structures look aged, possibly in need of maintenance, evidenced by weathered paintwork, exposed bricks, and missing exterior trim. The street is empty except for a few scattered items like a mattress propped against one building's side and what looks to be an old wheelbarrow on the sidewalk near another house. Utility lines crisscross above the street, connecting each home or business along this alleyway which adds to its authentic small-town vibe. No people are visible in the scene; it appears desolate save for these everyday objects scattered around. The image feels candid and unposed, capturing a slice of life from an era that has long passed, providing insight into urban living conditions during those times. Overall, this picture encapsulates the essence of historical urban decay with its depiction of rundown residential buildings in close proximity to each other along what seems like an abandoned alleyway."

@knapjack @kimlockhartga Poetry is like champagne. If it's not written in the Poetré region, it's legally just sparkling verse.
I expected to get some LLM responses when we sent out a coding challenge to the candidates for this dev position, but I also expected that the applicants would at least type
go run main.go
before packing it up and shipping it.syscall.Msync
isn't actually a function in the Go stdlib's syscall package.

@jbcrawford I read your first paragraph and started thinking "well actually" but as usual you were already aware of it :)
