The one I have has been through a half dozen refills at least, it says “JR Watkins” on it.

Is that all it is? The little blocks do feel like slightly soft bar soap.

Hah, some real gems in there.

Tell your favorite content creators to get over to Nebula. Or are there better options?

Ah, yep. Someone seems to have the full PDF. Beginning of Part The Second is it, rather more disturbing thematically than I remembered.

Definitely some strangeness gold in there. Claw Machine for example:

(1) The PNG contains an embedded ICC color profile* (likely Display-P3 or another wide-gamut color space), (2) Chrome fully honors ICC profiles and performs proper color management (3) Desktop image viewers often ignore or approximate ICC profiles to keep things simple.

Source? Is this part of a story?

Which Neal Stephenson involved a DNA-based compute penal colony orgy? Hopefully that doesn’t describe more than one.

Mario just pops out of the painting, you’re saying the baby penguins don’t?

This one also tickled me:

And look, with AI you can do pair programming while avoiding any of that uncomfortable “team building.”

OK OK, updated the post with the recipe. (It was linked from the 1st attempt, but who’s going to go digging that many clicks for the recipe?)

Pretty much!

Exactly what we did!

Baked goods, coffee, and chocolate sounds as close to hope as one can buy.

Does that happen? I’m pretty impressed Google Photos can recognize photos of my kid from across many years (which also creeps me out).

Most of the bugs that make it to production are where the code seems totally reasonable, but someone misunderstood how systems interact, or what really happens in a corner case. AI is great at making reasonable looking code. It’s terrible at… understanding.

Me today: And make sure the tests pass. AI: Great, the test cases are all updated! Me: You didn’t actually run then. AI: Perfect! You’re absolutely right, I will run the tests now.

Yeah, the stripes look cool but I prefer the amount of chocolate on the more-covered ones, so I’ll probably dip next time.

Thanks! I got most of the way through the recipe and realized it called for bittersweet chocolate, whereas I only had chocolate chips and unsweetened baking chocolate. But I just mixed them and it came out tasty.
