Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Do you want a hug?

Not from a weirdly muscular, all natural I am sure, dog.

When's your next show, bodybuilding dog?

My next show is a colab of Muscular Panta with muscular Negan Froggs

Why is he breaking a sweat just from flexing?

It takes a lot of energy to keep rigid its glutes

This UX course from Google is interesting, but damn... its a bother when they simply pile content together, without proper care with coherence.

Im so tired about ethical design, incluaive design, bias, etc. Every module they talk the same stuff over and over...

Right now the module is about prototyping in figma. At this stage, you are already closer to the implementation than the ideation.

But then they add a chapter about Ethical Design. In the prototype section...

I get the relevance of the subject, but repeating stuffs when makes no sense to talk about it is just tiresome.

I've cleared out the stuff in there. I have a much lower opinion on generative AI than most, and mostly try to keep my opinion to myself, but flooding the image uploads with that nonsense is not gonna fly.

Even if it's flagged as AI, I will probably nuke it if I see it. That ***requires no talent, no effort. It has no soul; why would anyone even care to see it?

I disagree about a muscular dog not having soul, also i would side with Viciouss here, considering most of Rady complains are just his whinsical boomer bickering, but anyway.

The muscular dog will live forever on me.

(Btw, I just sent one image, I didnt flood anything with it)

how do we know the positive comments and upvotes were not made by AI, too?

I'm sure the "Prompt Engineer II" that created prompted for those images is deeply offended

Because this would be a bot, not AI.

AI does not have fingers to hit the upvote

Today is Freud anniversary.

He could explain all your pervetedness you pervs.

Christ. I hope at least one interesting thing or one thing worth seeing actually happens in Andor. Good lord.

This is all so pointless. I don't know who these farmers are or why I'm supposed to care. Or Mon's daughters wedding and it's 3 solid hours.

Gave up watching any new star wars ages ago. Gotta let that old horse die.

Andor season 1 was very good, probably the only really good SW content to come out in years. It's far better than anything else, especially the sequels.

Season 2 has been a little on the slow side, I think they leaned too heavily into the political and social aspects, which hasn't been terrible but it's not as good as season 1 either.

It should be like 80% show and 20% filler. They've got this season assbackwards. It's 95% filler and 5% show.

So, it's just those first 3 that are a complete waste of time. 4 5 and 6 are much better. They shouldve wrapped all that ***up in 1 episode for 10 total instead of 12. Just wasted budget for no substance.

Yea, progress has been slow most episodes and I'm tired of seeing the senate crap. It's like going back to the PT when they had those senate scenes, so fking boring.

It's had it's moments so far but I think they could've condensed it. That whole art gallery sequence was just entirely unnecessary and it seems like the France planet is just a weird distraction although it's pretty obvious where they are going with it.

There was a movie on netflix with Anthony Hopkins as Freud that was pretty good, watched it not long ago.

Over in the PS thread i was responding to Iamaman and remembered a story from my predecessor in my department at work.

He told me when the company moved into the building where it is in now, they put "the computer" in the "A wing" and our factory is in the "H wing". he had dumb terminals in the H wing connected to the computer in the A wing that he would use to edit the code for our manufacturing systems, but when he compiled he had to walk to the A wing insert a 8inch floppy compile the code onto the floppy and walk back to put it into the test system and see it fail, fix the bug and repeat.

It is the best "When I was a kid we walked to school uphill both ways" stories

And I love that old man for sharing that story with me :D really painted a vivid picture for me.

(for perspective the walk is just over 1000ft, one way, just finished walking it out of my own curiosity)

Pretty sure Freud would just blame the mothers.

Finished editing the A story of Book four today. Now its on to the B story, which is the harder one to get through. Still on track to publish by Mother's Day.

What are the odds that the designer of this Met Gala outfit played a Red Mage?

Sad thing is that if you let that company do it they'd probably still be using that same system. "It's our most profitable line" then you'd think you'd want to modernize it. That being said "modern" isn't always better. But sometimes it is difficult to get parts to fix the older equipment.

Not to mention if you slap Allen Bradley on it the cost just went up a few 0's.

Probably the designer played Diablo

:D we do still use the same equipment! it is a laser that was sold with a PDP-11 that ran the trim programs. The system has been updated on the computer side to a myriad of OS and platforms, currently locked into Win 10 x86 due to some vision software I need to rewrite to use a new library. But the hardware of the laser is the same system, and all passed their 40th birth day.

We save all sorts of old junk, but no old PDP-11 laying around would have been so cool to have one to poke at.

Goodness episode 8 of Andor could be the best Star Wars content I have ever seen.

What happened to the only good star wars is animated lol

I said the best star wars content is animated. Which is still true. But Andor has always been an exception to the small screen live action, which has almost universally been bad.

I don't know but if there's a turd in her(?) way she's better off switching the sidewalk.
