Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to watch this video with the sound on and *NOT* get all choked up about it. Do you think that will ever happen?
This is my son (and yours, too!) holding the Olympic Torch in Livigno, Italy.
Sam and I flew out to spend 29 hours at the Olympics because I wanted him to experience the Olympics from the spectator side before he qualifies for Los Angeles 2028. That’s our story are sticking to it!

Losing 158 pounds was the third hardest thing I have ever done in life, but it pales in comparison to the difficulty of keeping the weight off. I periodically post the results from my DEXAScans and BodyPod results as a way to keep myself accountable to staying healthy.

Do your airBnB's pans look pristine, but everything cooked on it tastes way too garlicky? Multi-tenant RAG/LLMs can be similar: broad semantic queries can leak "residual" context from other tenants.
Be careful, though: That weird taste might be from macaroni, but it also might be methyline!

David Lightman was played by Matthew Broderick, and “War Games” catapulted several careers in Hollywood and (eventually) in Hacking.

Correction: I think apple will actually drop the finale tonight. Check your apple TV's around 21:00 Eastern. (20:58, to be exact)
If you start watching this now, you can bing the whole thing except the finale, which should air this week.
It's the probably the best televised show since "Mr. Robot," or at least the first eight parts were. We shall see if the finale is or not.

I finally gave in and watched the Pluribus pilot. I was extremely skeptical, because the pilot episodes of “Lost” or “Breaking Bad” or “Mr. Robot” were instant classics.
“Pluribus” is too. Watch it.

I don't know Mick Foley personally, nor do I know why decided to take a stand against his employer, with or without several of his colleagues.
If you watch documentaries & interviews, Mick seems extremely genuine, empathetic, & kind to others.
And I support that.

Modern microcontroller based text adventure games (a niche space for sure) have an advantage from those back in the day of ZORK - namely, custom code.
Each year I write a new game and each year it needs a few custom behaviors ... like pressing 2 elevator buttons at the same time 😉

If you can find screenshots of these two tweet threads from 2021, I will pay for you 133.70 for each screenshot that I use (with your permission) in a public talk or book.

One of my favorite songs is paradoxically about two opposite concepts and I am curious which one of the themes you will pick up first.
