Sentence Splitter.

I looked for a paragraph splitter, but it's harder to find and some writing is just impossible.

I was briefly a manager/director and I asked my people to communicate well. Why? Because there's efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency is how quickly you can get a job done. Effectiveness is how you communicate your work and ideas. You can be the sharpest person in the company, but if you can't present your work and ideas, nobody knows. [0]

Tough love from an old-timer.

I just can't read that one long paragraph.

Hint. Invent something new if you can. That way, people will be interested in the end result and won't give a damn about how you got there, and quality still counts. In some areas and products.

[0] Blockhead bosses don't listen even if you write a Pulitzer Prize-winning report or writeup. I used to send their resumes out to other companies.


Bill Gates issues FURIOUS response to Epstein files claim he slept with Russian 'girls' and caught STD... and suggests late pedophile was desperate to be his friend [0]

> In a rare statement that clearly conveys the depths of his anger over the latest Epstein files release, a spokesperson for the Microsoft billionaire told the Daily Mail: 'These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.

> 'The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.'

I couldn't find a copy of Gates' full reply.

When I was the I.T. guy, my users would ask me to "fix the internet", so I checked everything on our end, up to the ISP, and if that was OK, just waited it out.

Two things accounted for all the outages we experienced. Routers and bulldozers.

Now we have Cloudflare as well.


This begs the question "Why go to college at all?"

Top engineers at Anthropic, OpenAI say AI now writes 100% of their code [0]

> ppl always complain that the clock on my microwave never shows the right time bcs i cant be assed to set it manually

> so now i have an unfuck-microwave.sh cronjob which briefly kills its power every day at midnight

The microwave that came with my home has no battery backup. When power comes back, IIRC, it sits at zero and stays there.

How about a cheap clock that covers the display and flips up when you cook?

I did something of the sort for a car clock that quit.

Not criticizing. Just saying.



The law is asymmetrical. The ruling power decides whom it applies to and whom it doesn't.

Wilhoit's law: [0]

> Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

> There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

> The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board (SASB), which sets the Clock, called for urgent action to limit nuclear arsenals, create international guidelines on the use of AI, and form multilateral agreements to address global biological threats.

So, it's general doomsday, not just nuclear war, and in many ways, the hammer is a few microns from the bell.


Finite and Infinite Games, by James Carse [0][1]

First Chapter: There are at least two kinds of games. One could be called finite, the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.

Final chapter: There is but one infinite game.

Enjoy the rest.
