This is awesome. Great use of AI to realize an idea. Subject matter experts making educational tools is one of the most hopeful things to come out of AI. It’s just a bummer that it’s far more frequently used to pump wealth to tech investors

I’m pretty sure it can’t process voice commands on-device other than whichever ones you use to activate it. The thin client architecture was the only option for most of its existence and the only one that works for older devices, which they

I’m not saying AI isn’t useful or won’t get more useful, but the entire business side of it seems like a feedback loop of “growth at all costs” investment strategies.

Yeah I don’t think they’re going to have much of a choice unless they plan on doing gig jobs indefinitely. The software business has given a lot of people the impression that they’re far more special than they actually are. I’ve seen devs s

Tons of welding and other manufacturing jobs in the northeast— they’ll even apprentice you into positions with no existing knowledge and larger companies (like General Dynamics) will even pay for your job-related degrees, sometimes being ab

> All the good devs that I know aren't worried about losing their jobs While many of them are mistaken, the much bigger problem is for all the early career developers, many of whom will never work in the field. These people were ass

Mitigation strategies start to look a lot different when you have a better sense of adjusted capability. I expected it to be something I felt when I started a task, or how I felt about starting tasks— like if you’re stronger it’s easy to se

Sure— here’s a pdf one so you don’t even need to use some janky JavaScript quiz. https://contentmanager.med.uvm.edu/docs/default-source/ahec-... The DSM-V criteria are also available on the CDC website. Important

Beats me. My best guess is they let the hype blind them to the reality that this tech wasn’t merely a few months away from the production-level reliability they needed from it. After a while, it sank in that they couldn’t play this up as a

If you really truly wanted to aim for realism, digging to the core would require a huge budget and an international coalition that would get bogged down in politics and mismanagement and it would never happen.

They got burned by over-promising Apple Intelligence and then embarking on a so-far failed, rudderless journey to land features regular people actually gave a shit about. I’m no expert, but I reckon the exact right move is concentrating on

Many young developers’ careers are fucked for at least a decade. Their lifetime earnings will never recover from this.

I can take pretty high doses of Ritalin and sleep as long as it’s not the extended release. The lowest dose extended release medications didn’t touch my symptoms and reduced my average sleep to about 4 hours per night. My wife gets good res

My wife had some serious problems with the stimulant meds, and atomoxetine did the trick for her.

No. Brain chemistry is complex and different stimulants hit different people different ways. It took like 5 medications to find one that didn’t make me feel like a tweaker.

Take one of the more reputable questionnaires... they never require a login or anything. If you score high enough, see if you can get proper neuropsychiatric testing done. Really think about the questions and be honest with yourself… is eas

Those interfaces are not likely designed by interface designers — they’re either assembled by developers using framework libraries trying mimic things that ‘look designed,’ or “designed” by visual designers that have no more business design

In my experience, most US tech workers see the non-tech US like most of the US sees the rest of the world: they intellectually understand that they’re a small piece of the pie, but living within an attention and influence bubble subconsciou

This just doesn't seem to sink in with a lot of people. The very second most people need to think about implementation details, like what instance is connected to what instance and what that means, they're done. It's not like

Depends on if they had something compelling to migrate to.

This is also true of interface/UX/interaction design. Most developers are really skilled at maintaining a higher cognitive load than most, and the interfaces that work best for less technical people often frustrate developers, who

People use much more invasive tools than that. If it works, they don’t care. I think it’s weirder that they’re clamoring to give people tools to detect AI while clamoring to present AI-generated content as perfectly normal— no different tha

People that want fun harmless things out of analytics usually use free add-ins that are free because they’re made by megacorps connecting services and building shadow profiles of people.

A) J. Crew and others are using AI models instead of real models. Retail modeling was steady pay-the-bills work for models and actors and is actively being replaced by AI image generators— sometimes trained on images of a particular model t

Sometimes I think we’re like cats that stumbled upon the ability to make mirrors. Many cats react like there’s another cat in the mirror, and I wonder if AGI is just us believing we can make more cats if we make the perfect mirror.

My intuition says there are some stylistic differences. It seems like some development cultures somewhat have better results with more rigid computer engineering sort of tasks with high granularity requirements and more straightforward goal
