Is the song AI generated? If so, I am extra sad now.

It is just a resource! Hello ResEdit.

Woah dude I took a nap and woke up in 1995.

Did they assess if any wanted to use their own brain?

Interestingly, the smartest students I've worked with do use AI - but more in the sense that AI is a good comparison tool and a good bottom ceiling of the quality of work they should bring in.

Lots of research shows being able to see different answers improves the quality of a student's output - especially as the good ones are able to pick out what's good from the other work and then add their own insights or takes on top.

NO WONDER I've become lost in Shinjuku Station on at least 3 occasions!

Every person I know me included got lost there multiple times, yet some users here get offended by this somehow.

If you take the gross area of Shinjuku, including its multiple maze-like levels, it is comparable to the size of city centers of Florence or Bologna.

Shinjuku isn't the worst - it's big, but every part of it has its own distinct feel, you never get confused about where you are. I actually think Ikebukuro is the worst - there are too many places where you can rotate 180 degrees, or move up or down a floor, and find yourself looking at an exactly identical scene.

anyone who hasn't been lost in Shinjuku-eki has not been to Shinjuku-eki. Or has been, but it was Golden Week and the place was nearly empty.

80Mb Drives were _expensive_

I don't get the impression that a single aspect of A/UX was meant to be cheap, except perhaps in comparison to the other Real UNIX Workstation offerings.

Installed via QIC tape to Rodime 120Mb drive. Had fun formatting the Rodime; but got it working.

Learnt TCP/IP with this setup. Good Times(tm)

Yeah...using anything other than an Apple Approved(tm) scsi disk (or, really, anything 'not Apple') was an adventure. One of my least favorite Unixen, frankly. SVR2 based when most of the world on the AT&T side of Unix was SVR3 (and SVR4 was just around the corner), some BSD bits tossed into the blender, coated in a not-very-good MacOS emulation layer. Congrats to you on your perseverance; I recall the TCP/IP stack was...challenging.

A/UX was created so Apple could bid on government contracts that had a "must be Unix and/or POSIX" checkbox (common requirement at the time). IMO, they should have either gone all-in on a "MacOS apps running perfect on a Unix kernel" and picked a better kernel, or done the Atari thing and tossed the legacy OS and gone all in on a "Unix on Apple hardware". Instead it was 'meh' all around.

I remember hearing this live while in a car on a hot summer’s days in the Adelaide hills.

Not a cricket fan now, but was subjected to it as a kid.

NZ are generationally enraged. Australians have wilfully forgotten.

Well, kids, it looks like we're back to closing those tickets the old fashioned way.

By thinking for ourselves and writing the code with the keyboard.

Asked AI to generate some code.

It looked absolutely unmaintainable and horrible.

"oh shit" there are serious developers using this crap? As an industry, we are so fsck'd

Reflect on this in the context of the US right now. Makuthink.

Indeed, indeed.

It was filed under “unintentional allegory”. Or intentional, it’s hard to say.
