The DEC 20 I was familiar with was a PDP-10 with a PDP-11 as a frontend (i/o) processor. I recall one of the cookie messages was "Help I'm trapped in a PDP-11"

Ordered choice may cause a PEG parser to fail where a CFG parser would recognize the string.

Dick Van Dyke for President!

Did you do a backup :-)

Merry Christmas

These agents are acting on behalf of a person. Charge that person with a crime.

You get a Saucerfull of Secrets :-)

I can't take the argument seriously when they ask "Pop quiz: You’re going to get hit by something coming at you at 50 miles per hour; given equal mass, would you rather that be a small object, or a large object?"

Either way you're dead.

Well, Chekov is not Scotty

And both Charles Keating (actor) and Charles Keating (Lincoln Savings & Loan) passed away in 2014 :-)

It's possible that Adams was expanding on an Alan Kay quote "Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born"

Depth of use over the lifetime of an app is a quality all its own that often not appreciated. A recurring pattern at $dayjob is that a new manager or director will join a business unit and declare an existing app as the worst terrible, no good, horrible app they've seen and they're going to fix that. A year and a half later the new app is finally delivered with 80% of the original functionality and a fresh set of bugs. The new dev team sees the surface functionality but misses a lot of the hard earned nuance the old system accrued over time. This is a pattern that existed long before LLMs.

Now add a retention policy of 30 days. Business memory lived in those emails and now it's 50 First Dates

In this case it was a bicycle and not an ebike. That said, anecdotally, many ebikes I see regularly travel faster than the people powered versions

The Amanda solution is the intuitively obvious to even the casual reader. The Einstein solution is quite succinct but takes years to understand all the nuance in the one liner. :-)

I appreciate both for different reasons.

Pretty much bang on. I do have to remind myself that discipline in commit messages helps future me.

Admittedly only gave a quick skim but essentially looks like Deutsch-Schorr-Waite.

Thanks for the chuckle - you know there's more than one marketing guy out there who will say in all seriousness "I can do that for you" :-)

I checked in with Scribble as he did the typesetting. He apologizes for the error but says working without opposable thumbs makes the work more challenging.

Not to be confused with the protocol :-)

Let's not forget the Salmon Arm salute :-)

The authors concoct a Rube Goldberg legal framework on the assumption that an AI agent is acting as an independent legal entity. A straightforward way would be to say that any AI agent is acting on behalf of someone and that someone is who shall be held accountable.
