Here is what worries me the most at the moment: we're in a period of hype, fire all the developers, we have agents, everybody can code now, barrier is not low - it's gone. Great. Roll up a year from now, and we have trillions of

That's almost me. I've always used Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with friends around the world. My friend list is 95% people I know in real life. A small fraction of them still posts. I also get a lot of slop in between. The

I love it. The aesthetics are fantastic. Can this record a video as well?

They made the data accessible though. From what I can gather, before them, the data was only accessible via old windows apps. If the source of truth is locked and gated, what good is it?

It's not just the historical data - they provided what is effectively a live stream of events from the courts in real time, allowing you to aggregate and filter it. This is not trivial.

I kept digging and reached the service https://www.courtserve.net . Seems like a windows application (old school one) that receives the data, but I need more time to explore there. They've been working with MoJ for 20 years

Between not delivering the data to AI companies, and barring it altogether is a fair distance. As far as I know, the MoJ is in talks with openAI themselves ( https://www.ukauthority.com/articles/ministry-of-justice-rea..

I've looked into the Courtdesk service. It's a stream of events from the courts, as they happen. They claim up to 12,000 updates in a 24 period, aggregated, filtered and organised. While court judgements are public, I don't k

You can add midi to the 2600... Just saying

I actually have a 2600 with the cartridge and a midi modification which allows it to act as a synth proper. It's a very distinct sound, and on the break I can play some space invaders

Yes, I agree on all points. Also, I keep finding new use cases all the time. So, going all poetic; part of me laments the death of my craft, and the other rejoices at the superpowers of what rises from the ashes...

This. I find bringing in the LLM when there is a good structure already in place is better. I also use it sparingly, asking it for very specific things. Write me tests for this, or create me a function that does this or that. Review this, e

I've had the same journey, same age markers. The sentiment is the same, but at the same time this new world affords me super powers I'm currently drunk on. When that drunkenness becomes a hangover I hope I won't be disappoint

A framework also gives you someone's expertise in a domain so you don't have to develop that expertise yourself and focus on all the other stuff...

Omarchy didn't grab me. Maybe I didn't have time for a new learning curve on hyprland, maybe something in Arch, who knows... But that's not the point - I just learned about Localsend. So, thanks!

Because War Games didn't have Jolie in it. Maybe that? It was rather awful. A one-watcher.

This reminds me of a "web site" (remember those) I used to visit a lot years ago, trying to understand Neural Networks and genetic algorithms: http://www.ai-junkie.com/ann/evolved/nnt1.html This is old.

For me that was War Games that got me into this world and career. Always felt like I owe Broderick a Raspberry Pie or something

Like many others who commented, this was my first computer. I received it as a hand-me-down from a french aunt. Manuals were all in French. The C64 just came out and was all the rage. Couldn't find games to save my life. All I had left

I evaluated a LOT of UI toolkits for React. The premise is always great - I want to save time by not having to build a UI toolkit for my application, so I'll use a great one off the shelf. But what I found was that the evaluation falls

I assume you're referring to VAT, and in the UK? It feels like they let us keep 20% of what we make these days... Don't get me started on poverty traps. The realisation and reality of all of this has recently hit me like a ton of

I don't think UBI will be enough. All existing debt needs to be erased as well. Otherwise, UBI means nothing if it all goes to repay old debt. If UBI is less than my mortgage, bills and other loan repayments, what good is it?

I don't presume to know the reasons. I want to believe that "leaders" just have their own misguided view as to what is "good for the country". That is, no malice, just gross incompetence. Maybe I'm naive. I
