You said it - and the same is true for many of the other talents from Ai. I've worked with gobs of artists, accountant, MBAs, developers, appliance repair techs, and so on. Ai does a better job than most of them, but not as good as t

The thing I recall about playing CNA and other big tablers like it (e.g. Hobbit, Axis & Allies, etc.) was when they were over, the replay in debate about how things turned out, especially the simulations, went on almost as long as the g

I once gave a short talk at Harvard. Nearly didn't because I was so intimidated by the crowd. Got through it, hardly able to read the room because of my internal dialogue of focusing on the content, and also convinced I was a fraud.

And you reminded me of a short-lived station out of either Philly or maybe smaller market like Pottstown that played new wave. I was loading my tape deck every night. I just dug out my old disks, cassettes, I wonder if they are in there.

No kidding. Seattle has almost nothing left, except an AM station and a few shows on mixed format stations. Chicago's top shelf if you're hunting for online. They have lots of choices, just depending on your particular need &#x

This is a timely intersection for a search I've been doing for archives of the Quiet Storm shows of the 90s from Power 99 FM in Philly. At the start of my search I didn't realize how ephemeral radio was treated. Growing up I lis

It's a few hours long on Sunday mornings, snacks and of course coffee. We start with hot coal and long pot (I decided against the hook and flat pan style mostly for safety as well as the challenge is just too high for a beginner). Th

The local app for tracking the ferry system and tickets started to fail on my ancient telephone, so after losing physical ticket with 10 passes on it, worth a couple hundred bucks, I spent a few weeks building a simple web app that scans a

I think this is a pretty important perspective to hear if you are a developer. It was mentioned somewhere else here today about the craftsman vs the producer. This is a example of goals and authorship in the face of shortcuts and extended

Nice work - the map UI is smooth and easy, sites are surprisingly accurate for single scenes. Can you partner with another database to really bulk this up? Possibly even grow it a little more with crowd-sourcing with verification. More n

That reminds me of "coding" in my Roaring Spring No.20165. Which is to say, my notebook. It was great for when I didn't have access to a computer. I remember the feeling of how cool it looked along side cartoons of monster

The thrill of hunting sound is unlike anything else. Maybe 20 years ago I used a software synth to match the sound I had from tinitus. It magically erased my tinitus, making me feel like I was somehow a walking video game. Pew pew - alie

Just like working with Ai on dev projects is like working along side a really smart but drunk buddy, an Ai CEO is like being guided by a coked up business coach. In the end, with Ai where it is, I think it could maintain a company already

That's a totally legit answer! I've heard that from quite a few friends. My personality (or something) nags me too much to do so, but I get it.

Frank and earnest question about using a company when you think they aren't a net benefit to society, especially when there are other options. I too have my reasons for thinking Goog, Amzn, and others are not good. I just don't

You got it - a very little joke. I was going to double down on a dirty chai joke, but I felt it would be inauthentic.
