My company uses a third-party deployment platform that gives you dialog with a 60 minute countdown and a button to start immediately. And I think the deployment dialog can't pop up if you're not on the computer. Because nobody likes nonsense like five minute countdowns that can start while the screen is locked.

In Stuttgart they would've cooled someone's eyeballs directly.

Has been since Dubya, Obama just tried to convince everyone it was a fluke.

German here. Same. How could you even tell it's the new year without everyone on your street setting off a dozen rockets plus various assorted low altitude fireworks each?

I love how most of these look like they're showing off their stuff while Robert Duncan McNeill and Garrett Wang look like they're off to do something stupid with it. Honestly, that has peak Harry and Tom energy.

And the Doctor is exactly the kind of person who wouldn't shut up about his Blackberry.

Bit unusual what Robert Beltran is doing. That picture has more personality than seven seasons of Chakotay.

You're thinking of dark bears which don't interact with regular bears and are hard to detect.

The companies can stay. Their IP rights, though..

I recently helped evaluate it for company use. My test considered of vibecoding an App that takes a Pipewire screencast and does some basic image processing on each frame. In C#, which doesn't have great options for talking to Pipewire. I did several runs with various iterations of Claude.

On the upside, it had few problems navigating DBus to negotiate a screencast handle. So that's one annoying API out of the way.

On the downside, all attempts at taking to libpipewire through P/Invoke failed, usually because Claude hallucinated parts of the API or set constants to incorrect values. I only got a working program when I allowed the use of a prerelease Pipewire NuGet package.

The generated code was of acceptable quality but I wouldn't allow it into a codebase without a refactor. The code has zero consistency and one time the whole solution didn't have any namespaces. The fact that the LLM writes and rewrites the code during a single prompt means that you can get mild spaghetti as an initial state.

Honestly, I can see it for something like rapid prototyping or implementing basic scaffolding for an annoying API. But damn is Claude bad at detail work.

"Houston, what is 'New Teams Classic' and why is it asking me to log in three times in a row?"

The GL also stands for "genetic lifeform", unlike Chell who is a generic lifeform.

Wait. All the other lifeforms just called and told me they don't want to be compared to Chell. I give my apologies. To them.

You could just... wash them right before serving them. Why would you wash them way before?
