In the case of RPO it would be an accelerator,rather than a cause. Eliminate the need for workers and you've got that world, pretty much overnight. I was thinking of an AI that decides it needs the power, that is being funneled off to support mere biologicals. Or if there's a brownout, or full...

More "lack of...". I got it out of my system after a couple of big bikes. My last street bike was a 600 and my track bike was a 400 ;)

It will still be a dystopia, but probably look more like the world of "Ready Player One." A few rich folks, a smattering of wage slaves, and a whole lot of slums. Not blocking, but redirecting an limiting access? Smart Meters could make that pretty trivial.

"Just because you can do a thing..." ... means that someone is going to.

If you hadn't already posted the link, I was going to do it :ROFLMAO: ZX-11 ninja; fastest production motorcycle at it's time. I had the GPz1100, which had a detuned version of the same engine, in '95. Stump pulling levels of torque.

Wish that I could send emails like that one to clients that don't take my responses as the answer, because they don't like it, so they submit a new request to try and escalate. They usually end up coming right back to me because despite being in a group of generalists, we all tend to specialize...

Today I learned, or maybe realized is a better word, that a podcast/vodcast I've been periodically been watching clips of is done by Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor on "Smallville." I had no idea until an older one of his episodes showed up in my Youtube feed, in which he was clean-shaven.

Hopefully I'm not classed as one of the idiots around here, at least not always, but I don't post a whole lot, let alone anything really interesting ;) @Rob-maclennan.bsky.social‬

Name a creative and they're probably there. I don't have many follows so far and most are friends. Two, who I don't know directly in some way, are Alan Tudyk and civil rights/immigration lawyer Matt Cameron (Friend of friends and was the DM in the original "The Gamers" movie. Lots of socially...

Well no. It obviously can be done. It just shouldn't be done ;)

Jeez. Two in one day. "Client is getting an error after logging into Windows." What error? "User gets an 'elevation required' message when trying to enable a feature in Windows." What feature? Maybe we don't want it enabled! They had the clients on the phone. It takes 5 seconds to get the...

It's at this point I should mention that, back in the card programming days, I would sometimes slip cards numbered something like 05 and 07 into someone's programme stack that were an endless loop ;)

That we know of. He's still a dick.

You don't have to tell me. I'm one of them ;)

It's just advanced autocomplete. If you give it an option then don't be surprised if it uses that option, even if it's only a remote possibility. It doesn't sound like it was given any parameters for what was considered moral and, if it was, then survival was clearly a higher priority. You only...

It doesn't necessarily need to be key, but it should be referenced in some way. Perhaps as part of a spiral that ultimately needs to be addressed? Then again, what Star Trek character doesn't have some sort of reprimand on their record?

Hopefully it's a Chekhov's Gun and will later be of significance.

During lockdown that just wasn't an option. They weren't allowing anyone inside. You had to order online and then either pick the stuff up, or have it shipped. I had no luck with either.

I wouldn't put Home Depot on that list, at least not the Canadian version. Remember I mentioned businesses I've stopped dealing with? I ordered some "hobby grade" (supposed to be select) lumber from HD. It took them almost a month to send me the pickup notice, after having to pay up-front. When...
