I find at the heart of all this AI slop is a deep sadness at the loss of connection. It used to be when I read something, or saw something that I knew it was real. Someone created …

Even then when using AI just for myself I limit it to building tools, looking for errors. But when it comes to full blown generation, I just don't like what it makes.

I feel like an outlier in all of this. But isn't this just more AI slop? How is this different from text generation or image generation? Like many people I have used AI to generate…

I'm a skeptic, because Self Driving is sold as a digital chauffeur. Not 99% of a chauffeur, 100%. (or 99.99999%) The roll out of this is clearly limited by the number of remote emp…

For me AI has given that back to me. I'm back to just getting stuff built, not getting stuck for long when working in a new area. And best of all using AI for cleanup! Generate som…

I'm using Claude code to help me learn Godot game programming. One interesting thing is that Claude will not tell me if I'm following the wrong path. It will just make the requeste…

I wonder how the police state works into this. China spends a lot of money on internal surveillance and suppression of information. If the belief was genuine, would this be necessa…

> big software projects I've seen succeed were down to a few inspired leaders and/or engineers who set the tone. People with emotional intelligence, tact, clear vision, ability to …

After learning that the Amazon Go store was power by hundreds of people watching video because the AI could not handle it was a real eye opener for me. Is this why Waymo is slow to…

Haven't we found that there is a limit? Math itself is an abstraction. There is always a conversion process (Turning the real world into a 1 or a 0) that has an error rate. IE 0.00…

GIT seams to be optimized for network of trust. With one person at the top approving what gets merged into the release. This person of course does not do all of the verification, o…

It was just a quick google. 150t reusable. No idea about the other costs.

I'm just so happy to see this level of progress. This another big step for opening up space. To think that one day this will be considered normal. 150 Metric tons sent on a fully r…

I have found that what developers consider easy to read varies. So unless you have a lead developer with the political clout to enforce a standard you will end up with a code base …

I've noticed teens using snapchat to just send quick videos. Just one sentence and then send. Is there anything like this for work, maybe where I can do a really fast screen record…

Has any company ever tried having a bonus pool divided equally between all employees? Ie 5% of gross revenue / employees. So every time you add someone you reduce the bonus unless …

The quote: `I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering’ really hits on the nose for me. My Dad had a successful business after a rough childhood, failing high school. He wor…

With all the massive life improvements we have with technology we could be investing so much more into our kids. Jobs could be flexible with short work weeks, and we could use that…

I feel that's why many people, especially families prefer detached homes. Sound proofing is guaranteed by the air gap. And if there is a problem with soundproofing you can solve it…

Is there a time limit? I'm still using the original iPod touch as a white noise machine.

This looks impressive. Much more than even the Boston Dynamics demonstrations. Flipping a pancake is extremely difficult because each pancake is different. I know that these videos…

We are past the golden age of retirement. Growing up I saw my entire Grandmothers family retire early and live a long time. They would retire in their late 50s. (Mostly government …

At many levels Canada seems to be choking on it's own bureaucracy. We have a complete lack of intra provincial trade, including many intra provincial barriers for experts. Does Sas…

Open office look great! Just like TV. I don't think I've ever seen an office environment that has not been open on TV. A TV show with everyone in a private office would not work, n…
