Not at all, I just like to pay special attention to how the normies view AI. I have nothing to add to the debate over whether it's good, but I will adjust myself to its impact.

Perhaps journalists are just trying to make fetch^^^^^Claude happen, but I've noticed it popping up a bit more (The Atlantic): https://archive.is/6YvPh

There are reddits, discords, and even companies that assist vets in working the system. many of whom never got close to deployment and were never combat arms. If you're persistent …

Outside of SV the thought of More Tech being the answer to ever greater things is met with great skepticism these days. It's not that people hate engineers, and most people are con…

For those building applications with Langfuse and Clickhouse - do you like these products? I get the odd request to do an AI thing, and my previous experience with LLM wrappers con…

It's quite likely that the answer to the worlds problems isn't more apps/products. AI may have arrived at a moment to bring the cost down of creating software there isn't much dema…

Literally all much of the business world needed was a slightly more capable VB but now we have a bunch of crappy, web browser based SaaS platforms instead.

Same. I randomly had time off and someone in IRC noticed. I traveled from the US to Germany to hang out with them. Their brother was involved in BMW racing, and we hung out at Stut…

Good point - I think there would need to be a UCMJ equivalent for armed, federal LEO, in which case the accused would be judged by peers across agencies.

If federal agents want exceptional power while running around in military gear, using military tactics, put them under the UCMJ and fry them for conduct unbecoming when they mess u…

There is something very irritating seeing someone dismiss someone else on the internet using condescending therapy speak 'Thats Ok', nevermind the fact that calling him out as some…

I don't really view this as the show runners fault. GRRM was unable to complete his own work. The show worked best when it drew from the authors own material (GRRM was a screenwrit…

Well thank th FSM that the article opens right up with buy now! No thanks, I'm kind of burnt out on mindless consumerism, I'll go pot some plants or something.

For all the toys my kids received until they hit 3+, they probably got the most enjoyment out of cardboard boxes.

Well, I'd be interested to hear what some of those nuances are, personally. I primarily work in highly regulated industries and air gapped environments. I probably bother to do thi…

There is vast difference between writing glue code and engineering systems. Who will come up with the next Spring Boot, Go, Rust, io_uring, or whatever, once the profession has com…

There are only two kinds of cloud regions: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses

It's more work and more restrictive I suppose. Any business is free to set up jfrog Artifactory and only allow the installation of approved dependencies. And anyone can pull Ironba…

Is it possible to use an LG without ever connecting it to the internet in the first place?

Well, perhaps this is naive of me from the perspective of not fully understanding the training process. However, at some point, with all available training data having been exhaust…

I can think of a lot of reasons why someone like Zuck would be targeted for surveillance but the rest of us are fine.

The SGI VRML browser plugin is all anyone needs.
