Why does talking about a special interest have to be a negative/panic response? I do this all the time and people seem interested. Or they suddenly have to go haha. Either way, you asked! Though these days, talking about machine learning is more socially acceptable than it used to be thanks to ChatGPT! A lot of opportunities to correct misinformation too, though people hate being wrong, so that needs some care...

Anyway, yeah, I take that as an invitation!

Git itself is a distributed VCS...

There are some people who own a bunch of properties and their job is maintaining them and dealing with the paperwork. And then there are some people who passively collect income and have a management company do that with no real connection to the place...

We need laws to LEGALLY hold these people accountable. Criminally.

I think it's probably marketing more than convenience

"Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes" -- Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.

Sad. Reads like they needed a warm body but it didn't much matter who

Not in NYC. Spectrum is my only option and they are flaky as hell
