ask jeeves sold to a parent company and rebranded "ask . com" in 2006. shortly after, in 2007, they ran a tv ad campaign called "instant getifaction".
the literal moment I first saw that ad, the term "getify" came to mind, and I immediately picked my company name and nickname.
I asked a few people if they remembered Ask Jeeves and every single one looked at me like I made it up. HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER ASK JEEVES??? We literally used to ask a cartoon butler questions before Google became everyone’s entire personality. Please tell me someone else remembers this.

a (republican) panelist on cnn literally just said (in ref to nvidia ceo affair) I care more about his pipeline of gpu chips than where he's laying pipe.
the panel was shocked into silence for many seconds.
truly unbelievable.

I went to share an idea/take with my wife... NOT one I had first generated or refined with AI... and as I started talking, she abruptly interrupted me with "I'm not interested in hearing from your chatgpt."
wow. so that's how life is now.

the SEC really doesn't like having texas and oklahoma
With the 24-team playoff arriving next year, here's a possible conference realignment solution that would address CFB's issues:
Seven power conferences organized by region and tradition, 10 teams each, with teams playing 9 conference games plus 1 power non-conference game.

equal parts horror and admiration that he completed this. I really am praying not for the lawsuit or heisman but that somehow his pancreas (and liver/kidneys) recover.
I said if Oregon beat Ohio State, I would eat 10 marshmallow Peeps for every point the Ducks scored
They scored 41 points
Here are Peeps number 408, 409, and 410 decorated and dedicated to the three men that made this happen
(and the 3 men who will be named in the lawsuit if I die)
Matt Patricia, Ryan Day, and Dan Lanning

lol please for the love of god just invent a new effing language and stop obsessing with changing JS. leave it alone.
"likely need new syntax" == "just invent a new language"
For TS/JS to reach performance closer to Rust/C than Go, it will likely need new syntax
Not proposing anything specific right now. Bun AOT is designed to be a drop-in for existing codebases. But we’ll likely propose some non-breaking additions later.

O/U on Trump declaring himself either:
* a "new democrat"
* an independent
* inventing some other party name (not maga or republican)
BREAKING: Trump now endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying the people who want full deportations are on the "pretty far right," after losing the midterms.
He admits in a 60 Minutes interview that his immigration policy "was too tough" and "ultimately that hurt me," and says "illegals" who have been in the US for 10-15 years, such as hotel workers and landscapers, should have an opportunity to stay.
"Let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them," Trump says, adding that "people have already called me," including Democrat James Talarico.

Now feels like a particularly apt time to say this... and mean it completely and full heartedly as a threat... not physical but political:

Oh, yeah, Austin is just this blue dot in the middle of a sea of red... Sure!

wanna understand texas "going blue"? this map is really all you need to study.
pay attention to the entire south of texas (that area alone is larger than a few states) and how much of it is dashed blue, meaning it flipped from red to blue this cycle.
even with gerrymandering.

this would be a pretty awesome #lego set, except for... the way the blocks make that flame from his mouth. wtf, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen lego put out.
