How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

Armed with some research (H/T @neil) and after spending some time reading up the subject, I went to the Apple Store and then spent an hour on the phone to Apple account support yesterday.

They're very aware that they dropped a bollock here and have thousands of very angry adult customers.

The support team manager I spoke to yesterday said that some sort of fix was due within days

That's the /good/ news.

ICE planned to buy an old Big Lots on the Chahta Reservation for a detention center.

Yesterday the Chahta Nation purchased that facility instead.

Native humor is only outpaced by our way of dishing deserved pettiness.

There is something I would like which I have not been able to find.

When I use the programming language R, I typically use the IDE RStudio. One of the things I like about RStudio is that it A: allows me to run individual lines of code, and B: it shows me the objects in the environment within another pane (see attached screenshot).

I find this extremely useful when working with code that is not mine - if I run part of the code and see the objects that are created, it saves debugging all the types (is it a list or a vector? etc)

I'd like to have a similar IDE that works with Python in the same way. Does such an IDE exist? Is it PyCharm?

OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿

Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑

Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯

It's harder than spaceflight!

You can't just sell someone a basic, mid-level car for $60,000, and then expect them to put $5 a gallon gas in it every month. That only works on Americans that don't know any better.🤡

You have to sell someone a great car that they never have to put gas in, and that only costs $18,000.

Agent: uh... it says here your name is The Who, and your song is called, "Who Are You?"

The Who: uh-huh.

Agent: And I'm supposed to take that seriously.

The Who: A-yup.

Agent: Don't..... don't you think that's a little too... I don't know, silly?

The Who: 🎶who-who who-who🎶

So two documentaries about "AI" are coming out this week -- a good one and a bad one. For some info on which is which and why, see:
