Like all automations it's not 100% perfect, and they all require a human to monitor them. Turning over a problem to a LLM as solved means we won't be able to do the task anymore. Because we will never learn how. We will not know t

I find at the heart of all this AI slop is a deep sadness at the loss of connection. It used to be when I read something, or saw something that I knew it was real. Someone created it for me to experience. It was a form of connection. But no

Even then when using AI just for myself I limit it to building tools, looking for errors. But when it comes to full blown generation, I just don't like what it makes.

I feel like an outlier in all of this. But isn't this just more AI slop? How is this different from text generation or image generation? Like many people I have used AI to generate crap I really don't care about. I need an image.

I'm a skeptic, because Self Driving is sold as a digital chauffeur. Not 99% of a chauffeur, 100%. (or 99.99999%) The roll out of this is clearly limited by the number of remote employees that are filling in the 1%.

For me AI has given that back to me. I'm back to just getting stuff built, not getting stuck for long when working in a new area. And best of all using AI for cleanup! Generate some tests, refactor common code. The boring corporate stu

I'm using Claude code to help me learn Godot game programming. One interesting thing is that Claude will not tell me if I'm following the wrong path. It will just make the requested change to the best of its ability. For example a

I wonder how the police state works into this. China spends a lot of money on internal surveillance and suppression of information. If the belief was genuine, would this be necessary?

After learning that the Amazon Go store was power by hundreds of people watching video because the AI could not handle it was a real eye opener for me. Is this why Waymo is slow to expand, not enough remote drivers? Maybe that is where we n

Haven't we found that there is a limit? Math itself is an abstraction. There is always a conversion process (Turning the real world into a 1 or a 0) that has an error rate. IE 0.000000000000001 is rounded to 0. Every automation I have

GIT seams to be optimized for network of trust. With one person at the top approving what gets merged into the release. This person of course does not do all of the verification, other then broad strokes of what the change does, and who wro

It was just a quick google. 150t reusable. No idea about the other costs.

I'm just so happy to see this level of progress. This another big step for opening up space. To think that one day this will be considered normal. 150 Metric tons sent on a fully reusable rocket. Thats like a 747 to space.

I have found that what developers consider easy to read varies. So unless you have a lead developer with the political clout to enforce a standard you will end up with a code base with a very inconsistent style. Unfortunately in the corpora

I've noticed teens using snapchat to just send quick videos. Just one sentence and then send. Is there anything like this for work, maybe where I can do a really fast screen recording?

Has any company ever tried having a bonus pool divided equally between all employees? Ie 5% of gross revenue / employees. So every time you add someone you reduce the bonus unless that person adds more to gross revenue?

The quote: `I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering’ really hits on the nose for me. My Dad had a successful business after a rough childhood, failing high school. He worked hard and built a successful business. He also really did

With all the massive life improvements we have with technology we could be investing so much more into our kids. Jobs could be flexible with short work weeks, and we could use that time to invest in kids. Parent, volunteer, mentor. Remote w

I feel that's why many people, especially families prefer detached homes. Sound proofing is guaranteed by the air gap. And if there is a problem with soundproofing you can solve it yourself by making changes. Perhaps row houses are bes

This looks impressive. Much more than even the Boston Dynamics demonstrations. Flipping a pancake is extremely difficult because each pancake is different. I know that these videos must be cherry-picked but to be able to train a Robot to do

Open office look great! Just like TV. I don't think I've ever seen an office environment that has not been open on TV. A TV show with everyone in a private office would not work, no drama! But to work in them is a noisy hell. I ha

One thing AI could do is generate the "requirements" based on the code. Since really at the end of the day it's the code and not the "requirements" that dictate how an application behaves. We might find some interes

As a contractor in Canada, it's because it's a way to get paid more. I've been contracting for so long I might be out of touch with current IT salaries. But when I switched in the mid 2000s 100,000 CAD was a hard cap. Also Ca

I fear for a world where alcohol is banned. I feel modern society is built on it. A human is the only animal that is aware they will die. Also unique to humans is that we think about what others think. This makes us very anxious. Alcohol is
