Eh, it’s my fault as I was more blowing off steam than asking for help - I had a long week where in the middle of it my tooling cost me few hours of time but at the end of the week…

I totally agree that we need to reinvigorate manufacturing in the US and that it’s going to take the government (federal level) to make this happen. But for some reason we’d rather…

I'm speaking pretty generally here - the tasks vary, as do the models and the way I access them. The point I was making is that they are inconsistent hour to hour, much less day to…

One thing I struggle with is the value proposition. One day on a specific task I'll feel like the model saved me a couple hours of work. Then days like yesterday, the model cost me…

I just heard about a rare one in Wisconsin - someone I know knows someone that has land that includes original prairie and there is an almost extinct plant on that property. The lo…

I am pretty down on the pervasive LLM psychosis - but that doesn't mean they are useless.

I've been saying "The economics of AI investment don't make sense" for 2 years but this audience in particular doesn't (on the whole) agree.

I imagine because Bards never let the truth get in the way of a good story?

Mostly agree. Hacker News has a stronger signal-to-noise ratio, but I wouldn't say it's immune to enshittification. It just manifests differently. And it feels anecdotally worse to…

Trillions in some cases.

$150bn a year? Awesome. But the investment obligations are in the trillions already so where is all this new revenue coming from? I think that is what the article is saying and wha…

"You'll own nothing and you will love it"

I’ve had a few iPhones. Own 2 right now and I completely agree with your sentiment but while the hardware gets faster the software gets slower and worse. ;)

I'm not sure a government can bail out these irrational companies and have it not be political suicide.

>There's absolutely nothing of value on any Word Press site. I would hope not, but I’d be surprised if that were true across the millions(?) of Wordpress sites?

Poblano and jalapeno grow fine here (SW Wisconsin), but absent a green house we can't get sweet (bell) peppers to grow.

That's covered in the article, along with a bunch of other things I had no idea about.

We will see if the outcomes are similar - dotcom sucked and hurt a lot of individuals and small businesses. This is different and the effects may be a lot worse.

Or composted to feed my garden. I hardly throw out any garbage.

Buy frozen fruit?

Subsidized Gen AI maybe. Also, California has a high cost of living.

Compared to what?

Maybe healthcare shouldn’t be primarily for profit?

I would never use a product from that company for any purpose.
