The reason people go from work to nothing on retirement is because work fills up the nearly all of the productive hours of a person's life. If it were to take, let's say 4 days, or six hours a day, people would be so bored, they w

I actually use LLMs a lot to rubber duck my problems and help develop plans. Then I manually code, to ensure my skills don't deteriorate. I feel like I'm a lot faster, with few of the downsides. Do you have any thoughts on this pr

How do you ever have a social media network that is immune to this from now? You could with the best intentions start a non-profit, defederated, open-source, grass roots social network. It would go great, until the moment it hits critical m

Builds a straw-man of the left only to tear it down. Technology is neither good nor bag; nor is it neutral. If you can't think of any reasons people may be critical of AI, given the amount of layoffs, then you're not very imaginat

Good advice. Personally I'm waiting until it is worthwhile to run these models locally, then I'm going to pin a version and just use that. I'm only 5 years into this career, and I'm going to work manually and absorb as m

I'm Aussie. Please explain to me; why should I care whether Chinese SOEs or the US tech companies are winning? Neither have my best interests at heart.

This is a cool exercise, but I would hesitate to choose files over SQLite or another Dockerised relational database in production. They are overoptimising for the simplest part of writing the application; the beginning. They've half-im

Huh? When did I say that was my only skill? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

How to avoid skill atrophy? Easy. Limit your use of LLMs. Intentionally practice. It's what I do. You're losing if you're handing your brain over to LLMs right now, because companies would prefer to hire someone with more up-

Really would love to see Tokyo, Kyoto, or Sydney.

That's pretty elegant, compared to a lot of the solutions in this thread. Honestly, it sounds like the what I'll be recommending. Using a logging tool to output JSON events. But what happens if you need to manually update a record

Because the advice from anonymous strangers in many online corners tends to be better than the advice from many countries and US states.

I guess this means a return to websites.

I'm 32 and submitted a photo of myself for age verification on Instagram and Threads. Was promptly banned, with no resource. I do look a little younger than 32, due to a healthy lifestyle and religious use of sunscreen but I have a bea

I live in Australia and we have d-m-Y, and even I would say just use ISO 8601. Just use the standard, please, pretty please with a cherry on top.

It's not simple, it has hidden pitfalls and footguns. Using it is the fastest way to blood on the floor (to quote a senior developer I worked with).

Bit of a tangent, but I really wish JavaScript was versioned. Allowing MDN to clean up the syntax and APIs would be incredible.

It does not. I'm Australian and our timezones are ahead of the US (NSW time is about 15-17 hours ahead of US Eastern time). If I took a flight from Sydney to New York (22~ hours) on my birthday, the US custom's officer would wish

Might be good for researchers to be able to perform studies on.

I have no problem with this being downloaded for personal use, in fact that's a good thing. But of course we both know it'll be used to train AI.

Diary and beef are huge industries, with the processors dominating the industry. Vegetable, legume, and grain processors are much more fragmented. The dairy and beef industry can and do pool their money into paying for scientific studies [t

This is dairy/meat-industry misinformation. Both industries really don't want you to give up those foods, so they pay to sway studies. If you want to know the truth about saturated fat, ask your cardiologist which foods they think

This is exactly where I'm at, actually. Nvim on Mac OS or Linux and Notes on iPhone would be my dream combination.

I down-voted because I can't imagine AI video ever being moral, not good. It's copyright theft.

I don't think a regular Raspberry Pi counts as embedded, although from Embassy's documentation, there is a version of embassy for the Rapberry Pi Microcontroller. https://docs.embassy.dev/embassy-rp/git/r

Hear, hear. There should always be steep consequences for taking advantage of the vulnerable.

While I don't have studies on hand, I recommend watching `Viva Longevity!` on YouTube. He makes a case for the Ancel Keys studies, and why saturated fat is bad and why fiber is good. It's been nearly a year or two since I've
