Well, I've enjoyed it. It's easier to set up an run from a virtual environment than Jupyter notebooks. That was a big problem I had for years.

Well, my bad. I won't ask dumb questions like "was this written by AI".

Was this written by AI? This is just "I automated some things, use skills instead of scripts". Like, what did you automate? How much time did you save? How can I reproduce that?

100% I picked up shorthand to take notes quicker, but I'm still half-in/half-out of the conversation, mentally deciding what's important enough to jot down. This sounds like a grea…

I went to an old engineering school for grad school, all the older buildings had this color scheme.

I typed in my dentist's full business name and location, " family dentistry ", and it was still #5 in the results. I still, out of habit, tapped the first link and called that numb…

Yeah, and cameras changed art forever.

Can confirm.

I was consulting like this too, but my wife also had a full time corporate job. It all kind of ended with her team having layoffs around the same time that most of my clients figur…

This spacing reminds me of Turing patterns, or activator/inhibitor systems, but I'm gobsmacked that this occurs in random matrices.

What would I use this for? Everything in the examples is pretty easy to do in scripting languages like Python, JS, and Ruby.

I got a stable job! I was unemployed for a few months, we paid a small fortune for health insurance, and I got ulcers from the stress, but things worked out! I enjoy my team, and I…

Same.

Bro you can't just leak operational secrets on the world wide information highway like this.

They probably use Excel, maybe Microsoft Access.

Yeah, this is the kind of thing that makes me really enjoy the internet.

The thing about language is that words have a weird distribution. The most common 100 words show up in every single sentence, but then tons of "common" words show up statistically …

So much for being a safe and lucrative place for all the best minds of the world.

It would REBOLutionize everything.

I disagree about the thicker paper part. It's the "sizing" of the paper that's important, that's the preparation of the paper that makes it more or less absorbent. Moleskine/Lechtu…

That an interesting perspective, about working on a lot of your client's vibe coded fever dreams. Yeah, I'm don't envy 19 year olds looking for software work right now. God help th…

Well, I moved into a more conservative role, which I think was a good move considering the economy and the job market.

Racism? Lack of social awareness? Problems with impulse control? Trolling? Pick several.

I've lost consulting work because I'm a lot more expensive than $20 a month. I've literally had clients say, "yeah, I would have called you, but I was able to figure out that bug w…

Yeah, well, I was trying to be generous.
