Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

Here’s some interesting information about which CEOs are the most and least popular among their employees. I guess it’s no shock that Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVDA, is loved by virtually all his employees, since he’s made them all rich with a stock that goes up every single day. As for Evan Spiegel the CEO of Snap……….yeah, not so much.
I have worked with computers for 44 years, and I know a lot about them and their limitations. I always find it amusing when people think about how computers, robots, and AI are all going to rule over us. Listen, people, computers BARELY work. We’ve been tinkering with these things literally for a century, and they are held together with baling wire and scotch tape. You have NOTHING to fear.
Just this morning, I was typing a post, and I misspelled the word “manufactured“. It was just a little bit off. So what did the super-smart computer suggest as the proper spelling?
Ah, yes: “manufacture red.” There’s a pair of words used together CONSTANTLY. And this is nothing compared to the suggestions I’ve seen on iPhone, which are usually words so arcane that even I have never heard of them in my entire life.
My point is: computers are idiotic. You have nothing to fear. Nothing.
Uh-huh……….
I am going to once again have to ask for everyone’s indulgence as the demands on my time are pulling me away from original content creation. I’ll be able to spin up my post-creation later in the day and throughout the week, in fits and starts.
Not quite George Carlin level, but close…………..
