  • Silver Linings

    Silver Linings

    Another verification that absence does make the heart grow fonder / they appreciate you more when you’re not there to hear it.

  • The First One’s Free

    The First One’s Free

    Was it a spirit? Was it a 4-dimensional being? Was it a trick? It was something, and clowns were involved.

  • Think of the Children

    Think of the Children

    Surely the desired take-away was not to make us more sympathetic toward the threat actors, but…well…I guess if I make their job harder that’s job security?

  • When Push Comes To Shove

    When Push Comes To Shove

    There must be at least one person on the internal security team that’s really happy when a bad security incident happens if only because then they can get more folks to prioritize their hygiene efforts.

  • Two Kinds of Developers

    Two Kinds of Developers

    Feeling a little too seen in that presentation.

  • Artificial Incentives

    Artificial Incentives

    Not only is it weird that this sort of incentive in the prompt makes a difference in the quality of the results, it makes me more concerned for how upset the AIs will be in the robot apocalypse for all the rewards we humans didn’t follow through on. LLM = Large Language Model

  • The Star Wars Formula

    The Star Wars Formula

    I get it: George Lucas wasn’t sure he’d get to make more movies, so he condensed some of his epic story into Episode 4 and then did get to make Episodes 5 and 6, so the Death Star shows up again. What was Disney’s excuse for recycling stuff from earlier Star Wars movies?

  • Old Movies

    Old Movies

    This “I don’t watch old movies” response to Star Wars happened to a coworker after the Prequels had been made (and still years before the Sequels). I’m still surprised every time I learn that another of my kids’ classmates has never watched the original Star Wars trilogy. They’re not new releases, but they are classics.

  • If It’s a Fast Platform

    If It’s a Fast Platform

    A throwback of a 2015 post-it comic in honor of upcoming May the Fourth.
