I left for Apples Passwords.app and never looked back. Of course, that has its own limitations if you are not bought into Apple's ecosystem.

You bring up a point that I have been wrestling with in my mind. > "use AI make stuff and go forward for the win". If anyone with AI access can do this, then what real value can one produce? For example, if one makes a nice l

I have also considered switching careers, but my employer is not really enthusiastic about AI, so I am trying to hold out for as long as I can. As in, my employer does not pay for nor use any AI at all. I feel like the economic value of tal

Without typing up a long comment, fewer bears indirectly, yes. I am curious of that would happen.

Because bears and wolves could compete for resources, bears might avoid areas that were commonly occupied by wolves, and young bear cubs have been documented to fall victim to the occasion wolf pack here and there, albeit the Japanese wolve

I wonder if Japan would need robot wolves had they not wrongfully drove their native wolf species to extinction?

I wonder if we will ever reach a point on society where tokens just become the universal currency. We will all work for tokens, pay our bills in tokens, make purchases in tokens, strippers will dance for tokens, etc.. I'm kidding, of c

I do not want FAANG and FAANG does not want me. So, as a goblin, I must ask: how is your and your team's morale doing? People in FAANG likely worked hard to get in there or lucked out or some combination of both. I feel like my soul wo

To answer your question, both. Who I am is functionally disordered based on the societal expectations of how people should behave. Employer expectations of behavior are often harsher than societal expectations in some ways. It's like w

Tangental, but is Leetcode dead too? Part of me could foresee Leetcode being believed to be a stronger indicator now, since it would be unlikely that someone that can answer those questions would know absolutely nothing about programming. T

I have found the whole honor system of academics to be just another stick to whip students with when convenient. I am not opposed to any sort of honor system or academic integrity when there is actual honor and integrity , but the system

What even is rote, mundane code? How much of this rote, mundane code do you honestly have in any given project?

Perhaps my ego is preventing me from becoming too addicted to LLMs. It's not that I think the tools are incapable. Rather, LLMs are probably far more capable than me in nearly every programming metric that matters. However, if I were t

My Neo runs like a sowing machine with 8GBs. So well that I honestly cannot think of any instances where I have felt the system slowdown. I use the device appropriately though -- I'm not trying to run SOTA LLMs locally or anything. For

I lived a similar life to this growing up in TN about 16 years or so ago. I didn't necessarily enjoy the labor, the loneliness, etc.. Though, as I age I become more and more thankful for the environment I grew up in. Wrangling horses,

Record low morale for working for one of the worst companies in existence? How can one be smart enough to work for Meta, but not see this coming? I wish I had some sympathy for Meta employees, but I truly do not. You reap what you sow.

Battery issues perhaps? I haven't charged my Neo since I bought it 8 days ago. It came with a 78% battery charge and is now at 53%.

My Neo is currently sitting at 5.79 GB Used, 2.15 GB cached, thus 3.64 GB while Safari is open in the background and Activity Monitor is open in the foreground.

I bought an Indigo Neo last week. I am utterly in love with machine. It's honestly exceeded all my expectations. I have a more powerful Mac for "serious" development work, so I figured the Neo would practical to buy for trave

Not entirely sure what the GP meant either, but maybe it's like sports betting? Where some companies are heavily advertising and trying to get people to become "responsible gamblers" (addicted), meanwhile, some of those same

There is a genetic component to alcohol use disorder, for example. But if one is in an environment where there is no access to alcohol whatsoever, then that person, despite their genes, will not develop an alcohol use disorder. The disorder

It is interesting because while the hotline might help some, it can also do significant damage to others depending on what happens after the phone call. Of course, nothing in life is every 100% good for everyone or every situation. While no
