I work for a company with every AI tool imaginable. It's quite dystopian. Emails are flying back and forth with detailed AI analysis which is responded to with a copy and pasted re…

Absolutely, much harder to describe what I want the software to do in English than logical programming language, and then add to that the time taken to understand the code and make…

Yep, I am surprised by this whole vibe coding phenomenon. I find it imprecise, and I have to very carefully translate what I want into English, a very imprecise language with a lot…

My favorite things about the Tabs vs. Space war is that you can't even reference it without igniting it.

he only drinks Tab.

and plywood is probably the material of choice for cabinet boxes, straight, strong, not prone to warping, etc. Actually, seems crazy to use nice wood where it won't be seen.

Elimination of the incentives is the correct solution, yet solving the problem correctly is often harder and more time consuming than just saying you solved it. These raids are pub…

I agree with you, while it is complicated, news organizations should and are reporting the facts (we are discussing them here). I think some people in "media" are probably using ho…

Dang hello, me too. I recently became tech lead at our fintech co, and the few days a month I get to code is like vacation for my mind. I still remember the good ol' days where nob…

Yea, it's really the opposite of the stated desired effect, small businesses will go under or not even start, while Target and Walmart afforded to pre-stock their warehouses to rid…

2 years ago my eFile was rejected because one of my dependents was already claimed. I have 3 dependents, and they offered no way for me to figure out what happened. The internet to…

prediction: Prompt engineering will get so complicated. There will be a movement towards somehow telling the computer exactly what to do using a logical language of some sort.

I think that's a good analogy. We use on-prem co-pilot and it works pretty good. I find it more useful exploring problems or debugging than I do at using it to make code.

This is a great point. This mocked test, easy to literally click a button, look like you did something good, but potentially add massive negative value when the code fails but the …

We get to check a box on what AI we use when we close a ticket. I used to select "none" because most of the time that was the case, sometimes I would pick one if I used it to build…

It is saying something that Biden did not roll back some of Trump 45's tariffs (maybe related to chips?) on China when he took over in 2020. I agree with you; some thoughtful strat…

Also, if fixing trade imbalances is the purpose of these tariffs, that brings into question the constitutionality of this. I know nothing matters anymore, but how quickly he forget…

Yes, this is what I was saying.

Remember we are imposing the tariffs on an emergency basis because of fentanyl crossing the border. Even though everyone, even our mastermind president can't even play along with h…

Best source I've found for exactly what this is was reddit, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ATC/comments/1izjg2m/starlinkverizo... for a system called FENS here: https://www.faa.gov…

amazing that there's an article about it, thanks haha! Maybe we are the weird ones?

I know some guys who order water with no ice, honestly, I think it's weird, should I report them?

Interestingly my wife is offered O365 online as part of her Master's school as a way to write research papers. When she submits them in canvas, it cannot link to the document she w…

Often misattributed to Mark Twain but actually from Clarence Darrow, a lawyer I've never heard of: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mark-twain-obituary-pleasu... .

I'm late in reply but live in OK. We are the top wind energy producer in the country, at least we were in the recent past. We have A LOT of wind. It's a huge boom for our state whi…
