Context is everything. A twee handwritten sign for free range eggs at the roadside is likely to do well. A handwritten sign for flying lessons on the other hand..

I was writing a long reply about how even meat bags have amassed enough money and power to rival elected governments. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility to think an AI could do that. Couple that with mass unemploym

Similar boat - Panasonic glass fronted TV. Circa 2013. None of the smart works anymore. 1080p, but the picture far outstrips most other TVs I've owned to this day. I have zero plans to change it, and it's usefulness has outlasted

It's just a bunch of grapes. If there's more than enough grapes for everyone and one person takes more than their fair share, then, on the whole, it's fine. There's enough to go round. If everyone tries to take more than

Lol, I'm fully expecting in 6 months time: "A bug in our portal had the setting for training inverted. This means that when you expected us not to be training on your data, we actually were. We know this adversely impacts the trus

Ironically, having never been flagged - I've just restarted Claude Desktop and it's flagged a conversation that has already been completed. In a long session pulling data from all over the place it created a pretty PDF. "crea

The failing was the one and done nature of it all. The vote should have been, should we entertain this idea? If yes, a second referendum on what Leave actually means when it comes to the final decision point. Y'know the same way that a

Not to make everything about AI, but.. The current analogy I am using when vibe coding is it's like defragging a hard drive in terms of time wasted. Years of sitting there as the bar crept closer to 99 in the vain hope I could turn the

What makes an amazing coffee? That's a truly dialled in experience based on many iterations and fine control of input factors. That's the parallel I'm envisaging. Robo pizza doesn't need to mean 30 second pizza. Just a p

These comments about brains zaps is the first time I've heard confirmation from what I've experienced. I've had them every time I've started or stopped a *pine antidepressant. Like, something rolls off the counter and my

So, the "it'll get better" is the robot pizza learning. There's no reason it won't improve because we know that there is actually a world in which amazing pizzas exist. Teleporters seems a rather random comparison f

Authorization for sub-entities is what is needed. Having to define what an agent can do when it identifies on my behalf is cumbersome, especially when you start to get specialised agents. Pattern based would be too easy for AI to game, but

I did quite the opposite. Ignored all the sage advice, lived a rather tumultuous life, but lived it fast. Diagnosed ADHD at 45 was a bit of an aha moment! So I'm stuck on the treadmill for quite a few years yet. Envious of where you&#x

A bit of financial acumen goes a long way over the long term. Anything that compounds is better off started early. It's not about the money at the high level, but relative comfort frees you up to be your best self. Or so I'm told.

What's the stance on Astro? That still overkill? I find it decently fast out the box and possible to manage as it grows.
