It's time for me to find a Grammarly alternative. There seems to only be three that come close to the core, non-gen AI mechanics of Grammarly, but I only need something that helps me with my horrible spelling and grammar correction.

"AI means anyone can be a software developer"

A question that's going unasked: Is AI capable of testing beyond just the acceptance criteria given to it?

Again just like when automation was the hottest thing in tech, AI is being used to get rid of QA/testers completely because tech devalues them.

I'm gonna use Polymarket to bet on when Polymarket is hacked by someone who lost all their money betting on Polymarket.

We got another Vietnam war-like conflict before GTA 6

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

You know what would be a better use of Flock cameras in Colorado than on the streets of Denver? Early wildfire detection. This summer unless we get a few major snow storms next month will probably be one of the worst years in a while.

I'll definitely check it out!

Once AI figures out how to register an LLC to start its own businesses and rises and grinds every morning to make that money, humanity truly will be doomed.

Can someone point to solid analysis on the potential Paramount - Warner Brothers merger? Pretty much the only thing I'm seeing here is acting like the keys are being handled over tomorrow without any push back.

Davidson also said he was seated next to a microphone as well.

It's coming out BBC & BAFTA producers lied to everyone. They told both John Davidson and Warner Brothers they would edit any inappropriate language. They said they made announcements to all attendees before the incident which many attendees confirmed as false. This seems Orchestrated

A Persona 5-stylized graphic with bold red-and-black concentric circles like a target or hypnotic spiral. Across the top, ransom-note-style lettering reads "Fix Your Hearts Or Die." In the center foreground, a close-up of David Lynch as Gordon Cole from Twin Peaks, in a dark suit and tie, looks toward the camera, with small lapel pins visible.

I have like five other things I should be working on that are due this week but my brain thought it was important to make this Persona 5 / Twin Peaks meme right now.

*No AI was used to make the image

All I'm going to say on the BAFTA thing is that BAFTAs and BBC deserve all the smoke they're getting when Warner Brothers is considered the responsible entity in the situation.

I know many of you are dealing with record breaking snow and cold, but just know it will be 70 degrees Fahrenheit in Denver and we're under a Red Flag (Fire Weather) Warning today.

Wuthering Heights isn't a romantic love story so when I see an TV or film adaptation that tries to make it one then I know it's not worth watching.

Each task does require a number of tokens (our tokens are called money) to be given either before or after the task is done. If you pay tokens and the task isn't completed by the human, you can submit a ticket to your local civil data regulatory center (courthouse).

I'm happy to announce I'm launching the world's first HMM or Human Manual Model. Unlike a LLM, a HMM allows users to give tasks to a human via spoken or typed prompts. The human will do the tasks and will even learn how to do the task more efficiently if the task is to be repeated.

(similar to literacy rates among the total population) Captions are important and Sign language interpretation is equally important.

Sign language interpretation should be more prevalent but especially with live events and emergency communications. There's the assumption every deaf individual can read captions but one in three deaf students who graduate from U.S high schools have reading skills between the 2nd & 4th grade level.

Live-Coding with GitHub Copilot YouTube video by Crystal Preston-Watson

So I am about to go live in 15 minutes, trying to build an accessible site/app using GitHub Copilot. That's it, that's the post. I have no clue what I am going to build, so if you have any ideas, feel free suggest one

Sorry about the confusion for the first live stream. I thought if you had steamyard integrated that going live on it took you live on Youtube as well. So only half the stream was accessible on YouTube but I'm gonna do a prerecorded version of the talk and post it later today.

A promotional poster for a comedy variety show titled "Laughing for Liberation," benefiting the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC). The design features a vintage aesthetic with a sunburst background behind a city skyline. In the center are stylized theater masks: a smiling "comedy" mask and a "tragedy" mask wearing a red bandana over its face and holding a sign that reads "No Scripts, No Limits, No Borders." Banners around the masks say "Laugh Now" and "Organize Later." The event details indicate it takes place on March 8th at 6:30 PM at RISE Comedy, featuring improv, stand-up, and clowning by local performers.

The improv theater where I'm on one of the house teams is having a benefit show for Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) in March. I created the poster for it. Sometimes I surprise myself..

An event poster for "STEMprov: Circo FlamboyΓ‘n" on a black background. At the top, the word STEMprov is stylized with scientific icons: the "S" is an atom, the "T" is circuit board, the "E" is a gear with a minus sign, and the "M" is a geometric shape.
In the center is a cartoon illustration of a smiling man with an afro and glasses, wearing a blue plaid shirt and holding a small Puerto Rican flag.
Below the character, the text CIRCO FLAMBOYÁN is arched in white bold letters over a small red flower. The event details are listed below:
Date: February 20
Time: 7:30 PM
Location: Mary Harris Auditorium, RMCAD, 1600 Pierce Street, Denver, CO 80214.

My team is celebrating Denver's Puerto Rican community performing at Circo FlamboyΓ‘n, a 90-minute BIPOC and queer vaudeville-style variety show celebrating arts, community, and culture. We will be in the February 20th show but there are three other dates that are packed with performers and artists.
