See, here’s the problem - I’m fifty eight and I feel fucking great. So long as I don’t, you know, pick up an empty cup at the wrong angle or breathe at an incorrect volume. Because random injuries caused by being alive are absolutely real.

Greenspan was far too much a free markets true believer to even consider that markets have a propensity to generate bubbles and manias since they are highly profitable to the intermediaries as they build up, plus the insiders often manage to escape losses when they implode, or at least believe they can.

A clean BeOS boot, from POST to login, was famously short. I am not going to put a number on it because the number depended on the SCSI chain and the configuration, but it was short enough to feel comedic if you were coming from a Windows NT 4 workstation where rebooting often felt like coffee time.

The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

Make sure all your questions are answered before you sign the contract, and know that it is okay to be “annoying,” getting as much clarification as you need. You have the right to counter-offer, asking for a higher royalty, advance, or something else. The publisher can then tell you if that is something they can accommodate. Be confident! They wouldn’t have made the offer if they did not want you. Trust me, publishers have no problem saying “No” to potential authors.

Without the severing and soothing brutality of [Dinosaur Jr's] first three records, the spaced-out, ear-numbing loudness of, in particular, My Bloody Valentine may not have been born to caress us with its turbine engine atmospherics. Source: NME - Why Dinosaur Jr Still, And Always Will, Rule

What do we learn from this? One: Don’t use “AI” as a search engine. You’ll get bad information and you might not even know. Two: Don’t trust “AI” to offer you facts. When it doesn’t know something, it will frequently offer you confidently-stated incorrect information, because it’s a statistical engine, not a fact-checker. Three: Inasmuch as you are going to have to double-check every “fact” that “AI”” provides to you, why not eliminate the middleman and just not use “AI”? It’s not decreasing your workload here, it’s adding to it.
