It's exactly this - "coding was never the hard part" translates more directly to "coding was never was slowing me down". It's nailing down requirements, it's cross-functional team …

Because I wanted to ask a human who’s job it is to know, instead of an AI that might make things up and waste all our time.

Not just malformed, they have MULTIPLE malformed tails!

I feel like it’s been understood that we live in a low trust society for a while now. If not for all of us, at least for a LOT of us.

Not necessarily! If you have a semi-recent MacBook with even 32GB, you can run 20GB models that are pretty damn smart, with room to spare for the rest of your toolchain. If you’re …

I would say that the more-exhausting way to live would be to be unaware of this, to accept the “we’re a family here” lie at face value, and to be passed over and screwed over at fr…

If your threat model means you can’t afford for border security to view your device, wipe the damn thing yourself before crossing the border and restore it from an encrypted online…

That’s brave, and I don’t mean that shittily, but more cautiously. Like, I’m thinking of the Simpsons shirt-tugging meme when I read this. I’ve always been hesitant to short stocks…

One of the big dead giveaways for AI videos is the sequence of slow pan shots without any sort of real action or focus. Once you start seeing it in a few of them, you'll start seei…

We are speedrunning the various phases of learning about victim-blaming, as a community. It’s kind of wild to watch in real time, instead of over the decades it took society for SA…

Switch vs Switch OLED is fine, comparatively, because you are forgetting about the worst (non-Microsoft) naming choice of all consoles: the New 3DS. This lead to situations where y…

I mean, the first one was just called Xbox. (Tiny rant - and even THAT name sucked. Internally, since it ran on DirectX (already a name that only a mother could love), it was calle…

There’s certainly a debate as to whether animals are conscious or not, and if we’ve just been engaging in a kind of human chauvinism all this time, but I mean consciousness definit…

No, that’s a fair point. I definitely have certain coffees I still quite enjoy after they’ve cooled, and others that I really, really don’t.

It’s not an absolute. The fallacy doesn’t imply that every building would be better with a doorman. But it does suggest that buildings that DO have them aren’t necessarily making a…

This is what I run on an M5 MacBook Air 32GB. Works great. I’m not having it build whole features from scratch, though. I give it pretty explicit instructions closer to the class o…

> What the article misses is that money is saved for the company by moving the work to the customer / end user. What? No, you're making the Doorman fallacy here, explicitly. The co…

Nothing on that list sounds like a particular hardship. Your "Oh, and" is unfortunate and ought to be addressed, but then again, that was intended as your cherry-topper, not your m…

Call it what you want, but it certainly becomes less enjoyable.

> Correlation ... causation Yeah, I'm surprised this isn't highlighted more in these comments. "A small study" and "an article" and such seems to be the basis for this article, and…

Why would you even WANT to become a billionaire? Wealthy, sure, but becoming a billionaire effectively destroys your place in any of your social circles. It obliterates any dynamic…

Yeah, honestly, as one of those managers with calendars full of 1:1s, I was kinda surprised at this. They’re frequently the most-useful meetings I have all week. The first ten minu…

> ChatGPT has 1 billion MAU. People are now getting life advice, financial advice, and mental health help from chatbots at a scale and cost that no human support network could matc…

I dunno, the rest of the article feels very AI-written as well. Immediately after that, it goes into an overly in-depth bullet-pointed breakdown, it repeats information constantly.…

I know it's "Evil AL", not "Evil AI", but there _is_ an "Evil AI" at work here - this is aislop, pure and simple. I wondered for a bit why the whole thing felt repetitive and borin…
