Certainly more reliable than shitcoins. And I'm talking from a country with rolling blackouts given the disingenuous name "loadshedding". Electricity is actually useful, actually has some value. Shitcoins, not so much.

The muppet speaks. Before work can be optional, ubi has to be a thing. And a conservative redneck twat like musk will fight tooth and nail against that. What he's really expressing is a wish for humans to be optional. And fuck him, wit

The ai-grifter smoke-and-mirrors routine can only do so much, I guess. If they don't dogfood their own stuff, why should we guinea-pig it?

Rust is cool. A great idea, if a little hard to wrap a grug-brain like mine around (I've tried, and will try again, I'm sure) BUT There are plenty of programs written in C which require no rewrite, do what they're supposed to

aw, I thought this would be a diatribe about genai learning from it's own shitty output, but it's more of a complaint that "traditional knowledge" isn't in the training set for llms, mostly because it's not ava

The biggest problem I have with ai is the inaccuracies. When you're making a meme, no big deal. When you're asking a question and you get back garbage, it's a reminder that the machine knows nothing. It's just less effor

Yeah I basically use it only for 2fa. Used to use FastHub, not sure if that's still going, but I liked it more. But at the end of the day, for, eg, review, web lets me see more, so unless that change is minor (and mostly new files), we

Ah, money for the sake of money. Winning by score alone. This is incredibly unhealthy - those at the bottom get depressed, those at the top focus solely on money. Thanks for adding another enshittification to the web.

I think the author has "done a job" saying what _he_ thinks the articles are about. But he already primes the reader to take his viewpoint by shoving it in there, instead of treating the reader like a person able to make up their

Whilst DHH is a lot of things (many unpleasant), I find it difficult to get behind someone's argument when they provide links to blog posts, but retitle them to suit their own agenda - it's disingenuous, bordering on deceit. Such

Yet another reminder that The Great Orange Bigot and His Buddies DGAF about the "common person", (ie their own voters). They keep doing shit like this and their voters are apparently such rabid no-brain grugs that they keep voting

There's "flow" and there's FLOW. Even at minor levels of "flow", when you're still trying to "get in", you're building large mental models of the domain you're working in. If you don&#x

had to look up "what is an o11y". Yay, another "replace the letters with the count of letters to end up with something that only insiders can understand". What a stupid idea, and I extend that contempt to a11y and i18n.

The author claims lower cognitive burden from debugging ai output than from doing the work themselves - to which I'd counter that they're probably in the wrong profession if the process of the craft itself is tedious to them. Ther

I don't think I'm pro-bigtech or particularly anti-bigtech. I'm pro-use-shit-that-works and I'm anti-exploit-people-to-fill-coffers. Unfortunately, BigTech seems to shift out of the first realm and firmly into the second

Generally, I find aigen content to be obvious and lacking. However, there are some longer psytrance sets I've listened to that I eventually figured out were generated, but didn't mind in the background whilst working. I think it&#

People are so easily confused by the appearance of agency that they can't see the truth right in front of them. These machines are token predictors with zero understanding. There is no consciousness that can emerge. It's just repe

The ai industry needs to net $2 trillion revenue by 2030. Good fucking luck.

As far as cloud providers go - sure. We've had numerous "wats" with AWS, but I don't think it would have been better at, say, Azure. I do think we'd have avoided a lot of trouble by investing in our own servers rath

If you've made enough money to live comfortably, I refute the notion that I need to hustle for more. Instead, that would provide me the freedom to learn more, study more, create more, without having to care about the mundane stuff like

"hire for agency" could also be rewritten as "train for agency", the very reason Japanese auto makers are at the pinnacle of the game for reliability - workers at every level are empowered to impose their sense of qualit
