I tried to find a coffee maker once. There's one automated product in the $1000 price range. I just use my all metal french press. FYI: They do sell cotton dental floss in paper packaging. Also, here's an unintuitive thing people

Nations simply need to lead by example and reject plastic waste. That certainly won't happen until at least 2029 in USA, if ever. If USA still exists then.

I feel like management roles would be much more easy to automate than dev. It's hilarious how they're trying to sell these products. The only thing they couldn't do is go golf and drink half the time. They would be superior i

If there are no devs, who finds the junior bugs?

If the general public believes this nonsense, I understand why there's so much AI hype. He's just selling his product like Musk, right? No one with a surface level of context could believe AI will replace all developers by March 2

I agree. There should be at least one from Patagonia or some decent company who takes a stand just by the law of numbers. It's possible they have a legal obligation to shareholders to not do it. Which is totally fucked and why our coun

The program makes money. Most of the programs DOGE cut are profitable or break even as far as I'm aware. They destroyed things for the sake of ideology.

Some never left. I don't feel the need to torrent anymore because free libraries are consistently available for nearly all entertainment. Given the world is falling apart, maybe I should download some things to enjoy when things hit th

You're making the same sort of mistake I make in situations like this. You assume they're good people because you're a decent person. You project that onto them. You don't consider they actually are bigots, and lacking c

Apparently, recently this is new and exclusively Republican policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_banning_in_the_United_Sta... Republicans are seeking to ban thousands of books nationwide.

by UmGuys 1y ago
Stop trying to both sides. I see crazed MAGAs banning books here and I would bet if we look at numbers the crazies censor at least an order of magnitude more than whatever you're referencing. I can't think of an example of books b

The judicial system is a wreck and obviously works for rich people only. This sort of obstruction of every day life by people seeking to destroy democracy should be filtered out of the system otherwise they can get their way or keep filing

They are the tyranny. They're literally attacking Americans with the military now. GOP has fully descended into whatever Tr*mp wants and he seems to want to destroy America.

It's marketing. Usually free speech absolutists just want to be able to say bigoted things. Often, they're simply racist. People are very volatile and polarized because of their social media's marketing. GOP marketing is insa

If you keep a journal of what you work on and learn each day it reinforces the concepts so you remember better. And you can use it for reference in the future. This is extra important for juniors starting out when everything is new. Taking

This is decent. Make tickets for the todos ahead of time and make sure your PM gives them priority.

The best programming advice I was ever given was given to me before I started while I was in college. It took me too long to appreciate how strong it made me. KEEP AN ENGINEERING JOURNAL. Keep it somewhere you have access to outside company

I'm not familiar with ELIZA. Technical terms mean things. AI has no technical meaning. It's difficult to distinguish what people mean when they say AI, but as technical people I assume we know AGI doesn't exist yet and we don

Nice. That's really great progress. Maybe a model will be able to infer what consciousness is.

by UmGuys 1y ago
I don't think so. It's just a bubble. There's no AI, we have fancy chatbots. If someone were to achieve AGI, maybe they win, but it's unlikely to exist. Or if it does, we can't define it.

CPB, Direct File, BLS head all in one day. Lots to sweep under the rug this Friday afternoon. We're spending more for this service incineration. Literally. Tr*mp has increased spending despite all these cuts.

by UmGuys 1y ago
Are you kidding? This is the type of thing Tr*mp has always done. He occupied the office before, remember? I swear no one remembers the disaster that was 2016-2020. I don't know how anyone could forget. Historians ranked him the 3rd wo

It's true. Recently I moved to a rural area and many nurses work as doctors. Soon we won't have hospitals here so there's no more need to keep up the cruel charade. It's absolutely disgusting and the primary reason I cou

There will be several executive orders dictating chatbot truths. The first order will be that Trump won the 2020 election, the others will be a series of other North Korea-esque nonsense MAGA loves. America the excellent!

> "because it would have to collect information on Android that could put people at risk." What's this about? Surely it's technically possible to implement. Can someone add more detail?

Of course it does. The framing is from the establishment. The surge in crime and rise in prison population is because we criminalized existence EG "the war on drugs". Now we're getting rid of some of the worse things.
