A billionaire discovers society exists. > Technology is the active human interface with the material world. It's also the exact interface that wealth allows you to bypass.

I've seen some weird behavior with it, as well. But I'm fine with it. I visit a single subreddit now and if they destroy the UX I'll only be happier for leaving.

The comment I replied to stated that only WoW and Overwatch had unionized. Every game team has unionized at Blizzard, along with some of the support teams.

Diablo also unionized and there's some representation in non-game teams like Battle.net. But I also know (I'm in games and in OC myself, loads of friends at local studios from SD, …

I started doing this in the mid-2010s, too. Used to grab throwaway hardware from a former employer and piece whatever still worked together. I've since moved on to a different empl…

I also primarily use Kobo e-readers right now but I've been wanting something smaller for an EDC. I think this thread is selling me on it.

You'd think Artificial Intelligence could be used to find a better path forward, alas.

I have the same sorts of thoughts rolling around in my head, and also agree that the college path is looking grim right now.

Have you tried Lisp Flavored Erlang [0]? I never got around to trying it out. I used Elixir for a couple of years, building web backends, and I truly loved the experience. I rememb…

I just got back from a 12 mile trail run. I'd love to be on the trails more often. And I'd love to explore more trails that are further away. But I have to work all week and that l…

This is fabulous and I'm going to buy a copy to play on my SteamDeck. Will be sure to leave a review after I've put some hours into it!

I live nearby, I'm hosting some family at my home who have been evacuated. A fireman friend who has been to the site said the same. That it'll either explode or spill and they're b…

How much time do I want to spend on this vs. just writing the old-fashioned way?

The friction at these commencements is a reaction to the macroeconomic consequences not the technology itself.

I remember being so confused in 2015, watching us go from on-prem to cloud. Truly, the shackles of AWS set us free.

I use coding agents and LLMs at work where I'm more or less to some degree required to. At home, I write code the old fashioned way. Not katas, etc., necessarily, but I've decided …

What percentage of people "seem accepting of violence as a tool" when they're starving to death?

I guess? Yes. But I played for like 20 seconds and lost interest.

> I still have a lot of usage for AI: Exploration, Double-checking me, teaching me. I'm ready to give up on having it even review my code at this point. It's been so frustrating. I…

Yeah I write prompts asking it to misspell a few words, break a few grammar rules, forget to capitalize once in a while, miss some punctuation once in a while. No one will ever cat…

LLMs are Brandolini's Law taken to an entirely different plane of existence.
