oh no
Today I found out that 3 friends I've known for over 20 years all passed, one last week, one in November, and one in June. As one might expect, they hadn't been a huge part of my life in a while, but even so it feels an emptier colder world tonight. Rest in piece mp, mf, rw <3
Well this changes the tone
@lhauser @briankrebs I'm so happy BC decided to just move forward on our own. Hopefully more will follow. 9am sunrise in the winter isn't too bad, by 3am sunrise in the summer would have been killer. I'd still accept that over continuing to switch, though.

Every AI company knows they're building the wrong thing.

I thought until I read the short stories at the end of the book. What an absolutely terrible way to end the series. Just destructive and awful for no good reason and completely undermines the entire point of the series.

@GossiTheDog @windsheep even more reason to leave it until December 26th or January 2nd.
@GossiTheDog @windsheep so it's their first day on the internet then? This was extremely predictable, and both Mongodb and elastic look very poorly.
