Isn't this just the human condition at work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFB7q89_3U Fast forward a hundred years when we have a holodeck and sooner or later everyone will get bored with it.

(Just using the browserbase demo) Knowing it's technically possible is one thing, but giving it a short command and seeing it go log in to a site, scroll around, reply to posts, etc. is eerie. Also it tied me at wordle today, making th

This little morsel was coagulating in my mind as I was reading all of these comments. No idea what, if any, effect there would be, but it is a variable.

Bit of a nit but the Drake equation is intended 'to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy' (from the Wikipedia entry for it). Nice thing is that you can drop a few ter

Hard disagree. It's there to help management control the 'au-dhd' crowd with a manufactured focus that rarely aligns with what they could naturally focus on.

I'm sure there are those that have had different experiences, but I've been party to several M&A due diligence exercises (including >$1B) at a large financial and there is *tremendous* pressure (on both sides) to move quiet

Basically the category of stuff that makes you wonder if someone had too much time on their hands.

Agree generally, but in my experience AI generated code tends to have more gold-plating than hand spun code (likely due to the substantially lowered cost of generating it) Also generated comments tend to explain how/what vs why, which

Off-topic but I used to do security assessments and had a bunch of small banks for customers. One of them was still running the banking software they had when they first got computerized and it ran on an HP3000 from the 70s. Over the year

Oh nice catch on the sharpening bit! I don't know that I'd be able to resist on the finer grits. The only thing you really need to keep kitchen knives sharp is the habit of sharpening them. That said I've been using this re

I've invested close to a thousand dollars in sharpening tools over the years. I keep my knives super sharp as a hobby more than anything. I'd still love to have one of these in the drawer for certain tasks. It's ugly and c

I've spent hours watching Drew Berry/WEHI movies and that whole process just seems like straight up alien technology. Blows me away to think about the scale that it's operating at within my body as I type this.

If your line of work is amenable to independent contracting you might consider setting up a company that you can work through rather than raw dogging 1099. I ran a security consulting company for about ten years and only on exceedingly rar

The home buying process seems to have been thoroughly corrupted, at least in the US. The transaction costs are high, parasitic HOAs and paying over ask have been normalized, new homes are built as cheaply as possible, investors are driving
