    I think a lot of it is depression and anxiety causing executive dysfunction. The claim about "Lack of Time" usually indicates that the person doesn't have the energy or wellbeing t…

    I think most people don't know how to cook cheap stuff and don't even know where to start. It is a bit of a learned skill. You get a repertoire of cheap but delicious menu items ov…

    If you want to make your own frozen potato product like this you also need to parboil them. Otherwise the results are acceptable but underwhelming.

    I can make about 2000 calories for about $2-5 using staples like rice, beans, flour, salt, yeast, pepper, etc... Generally, spices are pretty cheap. Especially if you go to the bul…

    I wonder if we have reached the point where Agentic LLMs could produce complex enough expert systems for these games to create a dynamic experience without needing a separate clust…

    But nobody is saying that is a flaw of the database.

    Personally I would rather vote to ban them if they aren't safe enough. If car makers want to cheap out at the expense of public safety they should go to prison for the people they …

    This article doesn't make any sense. An LLM is just the model. This is why you have things like Guardrails and sandboxes. Also you guard the inputs for the LLM prompt the same way …

    Unfortunately, the mark of corruption spreads to everything it touches. Once you are seen taking bribes for pardons, engaging in crypto scams, and manipulating the stock market to …

    I never thought it was that hard to make bio weapons? It's all over the internet and you can even find it in textbooks. College students are producing antibiotic resistant strains …

    Note: I know it is just anecdotal, but none of these experiences are unique to my experience. Not spending 2 hours in traffic every day alone is such a huge improvement to my life.…

    I think that a lot of the accounting, used mostly in factories and such, is having trouble with the new financial reality in the tech space. Running a factory, having a debt to ass…

    Yeah, sometimes you just have to throw out the current solution and start over/rollback. AI will go down some weird rabbit holes to solve a problem with the wrong requirements. Som…

    If I'm working on a non-coercive environment (No deadlines, requirements, etc..) hand coding in hyper-focus mode is extremely zen. But working on a deadline it really hurts. My bra…

    I agree, the speed at which the agents work is a problem. It creates an interrupt workflow instead of a flow workflow. This works for some people but I notice that I don't do well …

    I've found that my requirements and acceptance criteria are much less clear than I think they are. AI reveals when you are being too vague, almost instantly sometimes.

    I've noticed that you can either move very fast with AI, or very slow. Moving fast, you place a lot of trust in the agent and let it proceed and create something very quickly that …
