I feel the same way about bespoke software as I do about 3D printing. For a small subset of people who like to tinker it is amazing, but there is a pretty big market for paying oth…

Yeah, I think I agree with your assessment. Everyone creating their own bespoke apps sounds great until all these people realize what they were paying software companies for, maint…

Interesting, how do you use that system? I could see it useful for genealogy research.

I feel this. Since my team has jumped into an AI everything working style, expectations have tripled, stress has tripled and actual productivity has only gone up by maybe 10%. It f…

Execution should be executing Also not sure about the usage of theater there. I'd probably swap it out for "show". Never heard theater used like that although it is pretty close to…

I won't argue that it is a universal truth but it has played out the same for my kids and my friends groups kids. They treat it like a drug and lose all emotional regulation. I don…

It is an over correction because of all the empty promises of LLMs. I use Claude and chatgpt daily at work and am amazed at what they can do and how far they can come. BUT when I h…

Nah just Vegas being Vegas. The whole area is designed to squeeze every dollar out of you.

So a VPN?

Great so train to major destinations and then rent a car from there.

The money is going to rent seeking middle man corporations. Our system is basically a jobs program for lawyers, defense contractors and insurance companies. They contribute nothing…

If it is clean, can't you also compost it?

That is the fun thing about English. There isn't really a single right way to speak or write it. It is defined by common usage. As long as your audience understands you, it is corr…

I don't trust most CEOs perspectives on AI at all, they are far too removed from the actual work to know what AI can and can't do. When I hear a CEO say this, what I hear is that t…

Tiff if you want to archive them and they started as raw or tiff, jpeg for everything else. If the file is already jpeg, there is no point in covering it to a new better quality fo…

Basically a new variation of SLAPP lawsuits. It puts a ton of power in the hands of wealthy individuals and corporations.

The one time I did it in highschool I suspended the egg in a small cloth bag within a box. No padding just the secure cloth bag attached to the inside corners of the box with taut …
