Yes agreed. There's skill and experience - and then there's... common sense? And some folks just don't have it.

> Half an acre that you have to care about, mind you. I have an acre and maintaining it's quite a nice alternative to computers and screen based entertainment. It's just another form of exercise basically.

I mean we used to have a strong Avocado industry here in the states before NAFTA. Which reminds me I have to go cut one of the dead Avocado trees in my back from those days.

> But this also tends to make us forget sometimes that those things aren't always a big deal. It's the distinction between solving an immediate problem vs. building a proper solution. I agree about the "code quality"

Replying to myself, but maybe this is to tap into power-trip marketing to manager or business types e.g. "fleets of agents", "at your fingertips", etc.

I'm noticing a pattern that any one or company that talks about AI "agents" is full of snake oil they are trying to sell you.

I've taken these and self injected, and it was surprising that I really felt nothing - no pain at all. I suppose because they recommend in stomach, and it's not in muscle, etc.

Isn't this basically a Raspberry Pi 400? https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-400/ I think the challenge is computers these days can do so much that tinkering with something like this no longer f

Interestingly, I emailed and got response from him about 25 years ago when I sent an email in protest about working conditions in Hasbro's factories in China. I appreciated the response at least, even if disagreed with the assessment.

> Talk to the LLM like a human Maybe the LLM doesn't strictly need it, but typing out does bring some clarity for the asker. I've found it helps a lot to catch myself - what am I even wanting from this?

Yeah I like dogs, but growing up we treated them as a home and backyard pet only, having them run around in neighborhood or bringing to stores or restaurants(!) would have been unthinkable. I really don't get it.

We seem less tolerant of kids these days, and more tolerant of dogs.

The issue with this sort of tightening is that people drive way more distracted putting phones down in their lap to "hide" them. (This is how my how my neighbor was hit and killed walking down a sidewalk.) To be clear, I hate peo

It's an innovative-sounding excuse for weak economic performance and the unfavorable tax rules for engineers.

Same here. I think the link to panic attacks and psychosis triggers gets downplayed a bit.

> We also need to tax interest, capital gains, dividends etc. at the same rate as wages. How about we first bring back pensions and 30 year jobs before we try and fix that?

They sort of do (or as much as they ever have), but I think that the modern world gives access to national and global stars via prerecorded entertainment and the little guys can't make a living like they used to. That's a drag in

Really cool, thanks for sharing the history of Gremlin, worked nearby a lot of the places mentioned without ever knowing the early video game history there.

Sure, but just keep in mind a couple things: One it’s a down market, the worst since the dotcom bubble. Companies are going to be needlessly selective to keep the hiring people busy, and also to get people who are the most desperate and mot

> Valuing a manager on their number of reports is now out of fashion I highly doubt human nature has changed enough to say that. It's just a down market.

Well they do take up a lot of housing if you live in areas with many illegal aliens, which folks here always complain about.

I think a big part of this problem is HR non technical recruiters. They really have no idea who to hire and trash people based on dumb voodoo criteria. They however will fight to the death on how important they are for hiring.
