Premature DRY and premature attempt at separation of concerns have resulted in absolutely horrible spaghetti code in too many code bases. Many times it's fine to repeat yourself. M…

Just finding a drag able area of the window to reposition it is a huge pain.

It seems like there might be just a small vocal minority that hates AI art. Most people probably don’t care. I bet there were painters in the 1800s who talked about how people hate…

I don’t think the SCOTUS has said that AI output is uncooyrightable just that a human or humans has to own the copyright.

The existence and ubiquity of bash scripts make me doubt this.

Books also cause loss of skills. One effect of widespread books is we don’t have poets like Homer. We don’t develop the memorization skills like they did in the past. And that’s ok…

But are you doing real food preparation unless you are hunting and dressing the animals and foraging for your own food?

And if a result is surprising to you, you should trust it less and look into it more deeply. And if you do so, one of two good outcomes will hopefully happen: 1. You find the resul…

So like McKinsey consultans but just at the personal level instead of the corporate and government level. And much cheaper.

I wonder if there was some confusion between Stryker the Army infantry vehicle and Stryker the medtech company. It seems a really weird target for Iran otherwise.

That was not what the USSC case was about. It was about assigning copyright to an AI instead of a human.

I don't think Fontana's reasoning holds up. I think it is more like photography. The case law is that a camera can't own a copyright, but a human can, even though all the pixels we…
