Tortoise sex is a bold choice for a logo, but certainly memorable.

Still easier to navigate compared to Windows 8 and Win 11. Everything has a label AND an icon.
Also funny to note there is a clipboard viewer, which as far as I know from extensively using Windows, did not feature again in Windows till Windows 10's WIN + V.

I made one for Hipchat at a company. I can't remember if it could emulate specific users, or just channels, but both were definitely on my roadmap at the time.
I'm hoping someone can find it so I can bookmark it but I once read a story about a company that let multiple markov chain bots loose in a Slack channel. A few days later production went down because one of them ran a Slack command that deployed or destroyed their infrastructure.

I live in Minnesota and do not own a snowblower. Probably my mistake, but I always joke that I get most of my exercise in the winter. Snow is really heavy for those without context.
A couple years ago we had a particularly bad snowfall. The plow has a nasty hate filled habit of dumping all its snow in my driveway. I had a drift at the end of my driveway about 4 feet high and 6 feet deep. Literally up to my chest. I had spent a solid hour just chipping away at it trying to get my car out and had made very little progress.
Right as I was about to give up in frustration, a man in a bobcat drove by. Moments later he turned around, came back, and asked "would you like me to clear that for you?" I told him that would be amazing. Took him a couple minutes and then he waved and drove off before I got a chance to offer him any money or even thank him.
I think about this guy pretty often, it's absolutely the random act of kindness in my life I have appreciated most.
A recent lesser snowfall for context:

What is this?

Does every LLM have this internal thing it doesn't know we have access to?

"So, I woke up today. Got my coffee, family went to sleep, and I have a free afternoon." What kind of schedule or different timezone does this author have with their family? I am trying to imagine a family that either goes to bed in the early afternoon or a person who wakes up in the evening to start their day.
> I always use the example of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This game is so well crafted that I know people who don’t even like video games but bought a console just to play it — and once they finished, they sold everything.
I feel like with the part you highlighted and this quote here that we are reading a blog post from an alternate dimension or something.

What was the point of it? Terraform supports AWS anyway.
