My buddy graduated and took a gap year. That year happened to be the dot com crash. So he kept backpacking for another year then started looking for work. 😁

This isn’t the first time this has happened, though.

“Average” is the key word here, for sure. Our goal as humans is to be better than the AI. If you’re not such a good writer, average is a step up. But maybe we should all try to level up, instead.

I’m pretty sure every time you use AI for programming your brain atrophies a little, even if you’re just looking something up. There’s value in the struggle.

So they can definitely speed you up, but be careful how you use it. There’s no value in a programmer who can only blindly recite LLM output.

There’s a balance to be struck in there somewhere, and I’m still figuring it out.

If I wanted to raise superhumans, I’d simply not give them smartphones until they turned 18.

Additionally, I’m not paying that evil company a dime. All the people I follow on YT get way more money from me on Patreon.

I hear you, but I think Trump could easily do the exact same thing as Britain and call it a good thing while simultaneously calling theirs bad. And get away with it.

LLMs won’t get smarter in the next 10 years, but they will rapidly outpace humans.

Central Oregon has been unseasonably cool the last several days, like it used to be 10 years ago. Forecast says we’re only going to hit 95° here, though. But who knows if NOAA is even functioning properly any longer.

Everyone who is conflicted must resign immediately.

Will AI finally replace CEOs?

Top down effort to block top down efforts.

I just installed the original about a month ago to try it again. I hadn’t played it since the early 90s on a VT220 attached to a MicroVAX II.

Didn’t make it past the first level. 😅

Basically “does this JSON object contain at least these two properties, and is the value of one particular properties a string of digits followed by the letter ‘Z’”, for example.

I tried and failed to get an LLM to write jq code to do a regex based matcher for finding if one json object was a subset of another.

Gave up and learned it enough to get it going. jq is nutso powerful.

If Trump’s goal isn’t to cede most everything to China, he’s doing a poor job.

I don’t trust the people making the national citizenship list to be honest about it.

Lol… I wanted “DRM”. But it’s been a long day.

No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.
