Saturday Night "Club ONT" February 15, 2025 [The 3 D's]
Saturday Night Joke
Two foreign women have just arrived in the United States by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, one of the women points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk toward the cart. "Two dogs, please," she says. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil, and hands them over the counter. Excited, the companions hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs." One of them opens the foil and begins to blush. Staring at it for a moment, she turns to her friend and whispers cautiously, "What part did you get?

Or maybe you'd prefer some that taste like an old fashioned? Old Fashioned Jello Shots
Here, the boss himself brings the booze and happily toasts with his employees as part of a special benefit meant to attract young talent. And if some of them have one or two drinks too many, they can use their "hangover leaves" to come in late at work, no questions asked.[Dino says: sleeping off a hangover is one thing, but how about immunity for stupid things said or done while drinking at work?]

I am still setting up and migrating from my intel Macbook pro to my new M4 Macbook Pro, I setup the newest version of NeoVim on the M4 and was intending to just migrate the config files from my intel Macbook, the only problem was the newer version of NeoVim on my M4 configuration has slightly different syntax and some of the functions are deprecated and replaced, this constitutes a big chunk across a number of config files.
It would have taken me a couple of hours to go through and redo all of the config files, so I simply asked the AI bot to update all of the 25 config files to be compliant with the latest syntax, and it updated all of the files in literally, two minutes.
The other thing that is wild is you can ask the AI a question like, what are the most common reasons that Mason would not be able to load the black language interpreter, and it will dutifully list all of the reasons, make suggestions to resolve, and 99.9pct of the time, it will solve your problem.

I asked the AI bot for a simple c++ terminal program to do list, it created it in less than ten seconds.
I then asked it, make it more visually appealing. It did that in less than ten seconds by adding line colors.
I asked it to add a welcome screen, add a system sound when you display the list, add print list functionality and save and load features.
It did all of that in seconds.
I confirmed all the code in VSCode as working properly.
I then asked it to rewrite the code to work in a window on Mac OS 12.7.6, and I'll be darned, not only did it write the code, it described how you have to set up Qt and or build it in XCode.
You don't even need to know how to program any longer.
And even though I know how to program, this is shocking how easy this is all going to be.
So, Learn To Code is going to take on a whole other meaning.

Yes!!! That’s what I was talking about upthread, I had the set! Sinclair Oil Co. sponsored a big dinosaur exhibit at the New York World’s Fair in 1964, and for 3 or 4 years after that every Sinclair gas station in the country had these molding machines where parents could get plastic dinosaurs for their kids like me.
Btw, the Oil Company “Dinoco” in the Cars franchise by Pixar was inspired by Sinclair Oil.

Although the Penna Turnpike had lots of travel plazas, they also had plenty of places to pull off out of the way with trash barrels and picnic tables too. Lots of folks and trucks would stop there in the middle of the night to grab a few hours of sleep. They are all gone now.

I'd be interested, from those above with access to this AI generated code, how well it does with say, a highly technical type of task.
Ask AI to write say, a C function to calculate the coordinates of the Moon (right ascension, declination) on any given UTC input date/time, valid over 100 years +/- from present and accurate to 0.1 arcsecond.
I love to see what it would do with something like that.

Have not yet used AI to write code, but it sure seems like by the time you have specified the problem to be solved in software to a sufficient level of detail to get a correct result, you probably could've just written the whole thing already...and it might be more maintainable.
So, anyway, I want somebody (too lazy to do it myself) to write a tool for cell phones that "dumbs-down" your text, like substituting "could of" for "could have", "fer" for "for", "you" for "one", etc., and a voice on the GPS that rants whenever you don't follow directions...

Just give it all the data, all the storage locations, all the networks and potential integration points, the design guidelines (the most work accomplished with the least amount of typing), and spit out a flowchart for me.

All that is meant by "fossil fuel" is that the carbon and hydrocarbons in it were once part of some living things, be it plant or animal. Most petroleum comes from single-celled marine creatures, because they existed in massive abundance. Coal comes from plants, which is readily apparent if you look at it with a microscope.

Ask AI to write say, a C function to calculate the coordinates of the Moon (right ascension, declination) on any given UTC input date/time, valid over 100 years +/- from present and accurate to 0.1 arcsecond.
I love to see what it would do with something like that.

I used to work with AI reinforcement training and it mostly sucked at tasks like these. Even with the cutting edge models not available to the public. It could do very well with some relatively simple coding asks, but would almost always shit the bed when asked to do something a bit more complex or more nuanced. You could even give it hints in what to do, it would respond like "ah yes, of course you are right" and then return even more garbage, often more broken than the first code.
The only coders who should be worried about their jobs are the jeets who got a fake uni diploma in CS.

Julian Date: 2460721.95833
Moon Right Ascension: 182.101325°
Moon Declination: -1.158695°
Those numbers appear to be wrong. They are in the ballpark, and I'm wondering if it's a time problem, the code isn't doing the time conversions correctly.
For example, at UTC 2/15/2025 11:39, the Julian date is 2460721.98542.
Second, RA should be in hours/minutes/second not degree form. But in degrees, that is close to the correct value.

From the start, Caesar simply refused to behave like a captive. When the pirates told him that they had set his ransom at the sum of 20 talents, he laughed at them for not knowing who it was they had captured and suggested that 50 talents would be a more appropriate amount. He then sent his entourage out to gather the money and settled in for a period of captivity. The pirates must have been dumbfounded. It’s not every day that a hostage negotiates his ransom up.
1/2
Posted by: BourbonChicken at February 16, 2025 12:09 AM (lhenN)
It wasn’t a joke. After 38 days, the ransom was delivered and Caesar went free. Astonishingly, Caesar managed to raise a naval force in Miletus—despite holding no public or military office—and he set out in pursuit of the pirates. He found them still camped at the island where he had been held, and he brought them back as his captives. When the governor of Asia seemed to vacillate about punishing them, Caesar went to the prison where they were being held and had them all crucified.

It went poorly. I made my way to the front of the amphitheatre and screamed bloody murder at Chad Kroger til the DPD hauled me into one of the underground dungeons they have in the caves there - even though it's not in Denver, they own it, and police it.
Those cops were dregs, and beat the shit out of me in shifts til dawn, then carted me off to the old jail at 14th & Court. That's not used anymore, IIRC. It was a real hellhole in its own right.

All you would really have to do is continue to describe it to the AI and it would get closer and closer to what it is you're trying to produce, it also doesn't preclude the person from inspecting the code and modifying it to produce a closer result.
The code it produces is probably better than 90pct of coders out in the wild.

If one tube of the tunnel is damaged, I could see them installing crossovers, and traffic controls to alternate eastbound and westbound traffic through the remaining tube, as is commonly done when bridges are under repair. Anyone planning a trip on that stretch if I-80 for the next few weeks should be seriously considering an alternate route.

The biggies were avocado, harvest gold, and that brown color, which I can't remember the actual name. The almond color got popular in the early 80's, that seemed to rule for awhile.

My guess is there's going to be a glut of houses on the market. There's going to be a housing market correction, how much I don't know. One reason for the lowered housing is the government layoffs/shrinkage and the other is no one is moving to the area now. MD/VA DC suburbs will shrink in population, but they will leave behind a glut of housing,
My great-uncle's farm, way out in Western MD 45 minutes or so on local roads from Gettysburg, is now a subdivision. The fields are now streets. The only thing left is the barn and the main house (part of his sale demands, that they stay, including a massive tree).
But I've had family in that area my whole life and I've seen the explosve growth in everything all thanks to D.C. and the jobs it provides. Northern VA is what's turned VA from Red to Blue, that much I do know: D.C. workers and family.

The one 1/2 bath in this house had a dark formica vanity and top with mint green fixtures, and lighting that looked like it belonged in the ponderosa. It was the first roomI vanquished. I swear, I don't know where the hell he dug up these colors. The house was built in 1983, and I was ripping these colors OUT of houses at the time, nobody was putting them IN. He must have shopped for dusty leftovers in the backrooms of the local plumbing supply.

It sounds like one of the tractor trailers involved was hauling large electrical transformers, which contain oil, and would burn for a long time once they get going, and this may have caused structural damage to the tunnel itself.

My week has been horrid.
Realtor/home buyer advised me that at best I will get my costs back at best selling my parents house.
That is provided I can get the solar loan reinstated so it can be assumed by the potential buyer we have lined up.
(I am assuming a bit.)
The house is in rough shape and between a reverse mortgage and 140k in creditor debt.
On top of that and we had two one hour trips (one way) to the emergency vet for one of our dogs who ate something on a walk causing pancreantitis and $5600 in bills.
But wait, there is more.
On the 3rd trip of the same day when it flared back up minutes after he got home, I had to carry the little guy inside the veterinary clinic when we returned.
I THOUGHT I had hit the lock button on the remote and either I missed or that sometimes wonky driver's side door failed to lock because between 12:15am and 2:25:am someone got into my car and stole a firearm and ammo totalling $900.
On the bright side doggy is home now recovering.
Police report filed, but I expect it is gone forever.
First firearm stolen in 38 years of collecting.

A friend of mine renovated a family home so old it was pre-avocado. A cracked-up bathroom was done in pink and a sort of almost-turquoise that the tile guy said could never be found today. She'd have to have tiles custom-made if she wanted to replace them.
Such beautiful colors and you can't get them now.
I'd go back to avocado and harvest gold in a heartbeat even though it's not my color scheme. I work for a design firm and the greige is driving me mad.

Dumps: many cars built for street and strip had "Y's" in the header pipes coming off the exhaust manifolds. One branch of the Y went through normal exhaust pipe and muffler. Other branch had a removable cap so you could race with open headers.
Traction bars: A solid bar that parallels one side of the rear leaf spring to prevent the spring from winding into an "S" bend under extreme acceleration.

Allow me to sprain.
Drove one hour to emergency vet.
Left dog there, went to nearby city and got bad news on house.
Went back to vet to pick him up, but they were so slammed, that we drove hour home to take care of other pets including diabetic cat.
Went to leave, but couldn't due to approaching aura migraine.
Took meds, waiting for vision to clear, drove hour to vet.
Got dog, drove hour home.
Fed dog, pacreantitis flared up worse than before - puking, diarrhea, shaking, drooling. At this point it wasn't known what was wrong as dog had earliereaten something near neighbor's place known for poisoning prairie dogs, yet x-rays and blood came back clean.
Drove hour back to vet.
Got there at 12:10 am.
Shit show had started at 10:30 am previous morning.

This home was so old it was actually pre-yellow. The colors were from the 50s, not the 60s. The pink was truly pink, the almost-turquoise was something I've never seen elsewhere.

I pulled up wall-to-wall carpeting in my house and found an incredible oak floor. In one room the boards were beveled. I told my neighbor I was going to have the floors refinished and he looked at me like I was planning to paint them magenta.
At that moment, I realized: half the world is pulling up carpets and refinishing the hardwood floors, and the other half is laying carpet on top of the hardwood floors.

True!
Can always use the "dishwasher" as a drying rack, I suppose, to save on counterspace usage.

Monday morning, I was waiting for a call-back from heating-repair outfit because furnace fan had failed Sunday at my dad's place & single-digit temps were on the way.
And then, when I tried to go online... pfft! So put in a call to cable company for repair. Wednesday, they said.
Meanwhile, care home called to inform that hubby had fallen again although they said he was uninjured (turned out to be true, thank God)
Tuesday was hubby's birfday. He didn't really know what day it was, but liked his cupcakes. Got several calls from family that made him very happy, if somewhat confused about all the attention.
I'm having an adult beverage now...

My mom was shopping for a new stove and the eager salesman kept showing her this thing with electronic controls. She said "I don't want that burner with a brain!"
I made the mistake of getting a low-flow washing machine with a brain. When the guy came to fix it, I asked him forlornly where I could get non-electronic appliances. He told me there's a guy in Shelbyville who reconditions old Speed Queens. They sell for more now than they did used.

The dryer at my mom's house died a few months ago and I'm fairly certain I can fix it.

I need to fix the float switch in my dishwasher, but I can't find the dang thing. I removed the toeplate and the inside of the underside looks nothing like the YouTubes. When I get someone here to fix it, I'm going to watch how they do it.

We bought son and daughter in law a Speed Queen washer a couple of years ago. It died and they called for service. We bought the warranty. Well, they were told if you use bleach and something else I can't remember, that the warranty is void.
*ucking assholes. They have four kids and use bleach. They were told that bleach destroyed the rubber thing, I don't remember what it was, so the warranty was void.

The heck? A washing machine that can't drink bleach? Bleach is as basic as it gets.

My mom loved those coppertone appliances, paired with some sort of brick like linoleum pattern that was wildly popular at the time.

I live in Babylon DC but not in the high end district. It's more barrio in my little part of DC. I've been here over 26 years now so have quite a bit of mortgage paid off. I'd sell my dump for 140k. Not moving for now though. Not sure when.

I think (emphasis on "think") those were officially called "coral" and "aqua". There was also a pale yellow available to complete the triad. I don't remember what that was called.
