I mean you don’t _have_ to make python available to the agent. Nor bash.

I also read about Canada maybe joining the EU in some capacity, although I'm not sure if that was a joke. Eurovision could be a start.

I’d just suggest skipping the references and going directly to EvilCorp.
user_of_the_wek··on Two and a half years without a gallbladder
Similar here, I had stones, they took it out, like 10 years ago. I don’t think about at all, I do have some digestive issues from time to time but I can’t even really correlate it to what I eat.

Btw. - worst pain ever. Allegedly worse than giving birth, although I don’t have a way to confirm.

You could even do combinations of colors like on resistors.

And Rollercoaster Tycoon. But I‘ll never forget how awesome the original Theme Park felt. I even had the SNES version.
user_of_the_wek··on Quake Shareware, a CD-ROM just a little too full

I just wanted to add, it also had John Rhys-Davies and Malcom McDowell! Crazy cast for a video game, especially back then. And these were not „just“ voice roles.

user_of_the_wek··on Migrating a production AI agent to GPT-5.6: 2.2x faster, 27% cheaper
Google Translate can change the writing style of a text? I thought it would just translate between different languages.
user_of_the_wek··on Migrating a production AI agent to GPT-5.6: 2.2x faster, 27% cheaper
Unironically, I think in the future we will have the option to run filters in our browsers that can reword articles to your preferred writing style. Like user stylesheets for text. I also assume it already exists out there, I've just been to lazy so far to look for it. It's a relatively obvious application of LLMs.

> In the beginning, the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
user_of_the_wek··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
I‘m wondering if there’s a better term to use than „digital games“. Those physical discs are just as digital as anything else.
user_of_the_wek··on CarPlay Is Additive
Weirdly enough, some cars don't even have that cluster any more. Like the Volvo EX30.

Do you think its zero sum? We could just put all the gender studies students into engineering and expect them to thrive there?

I mean, surely there is a more defensive way to communicate his preference, and the word disgusting is a bit unpolite. But still, does this really count as toxic behaviour?

You can avoid being taxed on unrealized gains by realizing them first ;)

user_of_the_wek··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
It seems this wasn’t about the code itself, it was about Apple Pay not being announced yet. So only people under NDA would be allowed to even know what they are working on.

Don’t forget the candles
user_of_the_wek··on If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know
OTOH I have often witnessed people agreeing without realizing it. I‘ve been able to defuse a bunch of arguments by pointing that out.

Ouch

user_of_the_wek··on 210 IQ Is Not Enough
No, I think you are misunderstanding. IQ does not describe the likelihood of someone being that smart. It just means you order a number of people by their „intelligence“, the one in the middle is defined as 100 and then it depends on how many other people are in that line which IQ number the person at the end of the line gets. So it’s impossible because the definition of IQ is such that a certain number doesn’t come up without a certain number of measurements.

It‘s as if you would say 150% of all people are female. That is impossible, not just unlikely.

user_of_the_wek··on 210 IQ Is Not Enough
If you just take the statistical definition of IQ and run with it, AFAIK the smartest person alive will be at something like 190 IQ. If you really run with it, the smartest person that has ever lived should be around 200.
user_of_the_wek··on Why do LLMs freak out over the seahorse emoji?
There is also an old point-and-click adventure game based on the story, in case you didn't know.
