Rather than argue over that detail the point is it doesn’t make sense to blame the entire population and turn it into more apathetic voters than voters. Our numbers are bad enough on their own, thanks

ChatGPT says the voting age population is 258m

Mushrooms, alright? I hate them. And people put them on meat

Spider-Man. Almost everyone is a high school student at some part of their lives. And yes, “student” for a teen holds the same place as “work”for an adult

Just scrolling by seeing fungus on meat, then WAIT, it’s garlic!

My mind always goes toward the Fermi Filter here. Maybe I need to get off the internet for a while

Freaking Canucks stole manufacturing for fotl, gold toe, under armour? Let’s invade ! Let’s bring home that American manufacturing to our 51 state

So true!

I’m a DevOps guy and seem to spend most of my time fixing AI slop. It’s supposed to mean automating builds, tests, scans, deploys, compliance, etc, so the other developers can focus on product code and all the process just works

First of all, there is no graphical stuff. That’s just for simple learning sandboxes.

We have an IDE - Integrated Development Environment. You can think of it as a glorified text editor. We type code in text and it gives us the equivalent of spellcheck, grammar check, autocomplete. They usually colorize the code so you can see structure, match parens and quotes, and other low level assistance. But it gets much more useful with integrations to version control, scanners, build tools, download dependencies . You can click to build, test, scan, commit. They’re usually tons of other tools to make life easier.

But code is cheap and easy to write the first time: much more expensive to fix. Maintenance over time is far more expensive than writing it.

So now we have AI as another tool integrated into IDEs, and it is somewhat useful for generating new code based on patterns from previous code. But it’s never good enough to be an end result. A good developer can use the ai to get a jumpstart on new code, iterate it to get better, and almost always have to use their own knowledge to finish it to a working, maintainable result.

So I have a bunch of junior developers in another country, just directly checking in ai slop. They don’t seem to be experienced enough or diligent enough to recognize when it needs more work. Which means I need to spend a lot more time on code reviews trying to figure out the unorganized mess, give the same feedback over and over, review the same code many times, and inevitably spend much more time on bug fixes for their mess than I would have taken implementing it myself.

The thing is ai is not good at bug fixing. You can try to have it summarize the code, or compare it to best practices but it can’t really help figure out what’s going wrong and how to best fix it. Especially if the original code is ai slop to begin with. So I don’t even get any advantage from it

Coffee with a bowl of yogurt, banana, Cheerios every weekday

Something with eggs on weekend. I try to be creative. If my kids are here, it might be pancakes or waffles, which technically have eggs

Healthcare is an excellent place for democrats to hold the line, especially now when so much is lost.

Usually I blame republicans for shutdowns but now I blame republicans, and cheer on the democrats.

Will it? I’m skeptical of the translation since it’s obviously loose and casual, and more optimistic with the quote from Tesla saying they’re redesigning it …

• article says mechanical release handles inside and out. Tesla model y could already be here depending on the details
• articles says a hand must fit behind the handle, ruling out flush handles, but depending on the details, the model y may a Ready be there, as is the Opel Corsa in this thread
• no mention of the electronic latch. I don’t get it, wouldn’t this be the actual most dangerous part?

It’s junk food. Pizza is like that too by being junk food it gets magical powers to stay on the counter until finished

Still rare, only trolls. If someone is judgy or confrontational I’ll move on. It’s only if they’re trying to start a fight, trying to create an ongoing argument that I’ll block them.

At the risk of being over-pedantic, we shouldn’t be calling that theft. I’m not condoning it but we should call it what it is

What the article calls “direct theft” is clearly theft

But the article also describes market manipulation like union busting as theft. That’s clearly a problem and I don’t know what to call it but we lose impact by equating this legal exploitation with clearly illegal theft

As my teens are getting their first jobs, I’ve talked to them about “direct theft” and other abuses common to minimum wage employers. I’m proud that one stood up for himself when his manager started trying to abuse his conscientiousness

Same here but also I don’t want a truck nor something with that low range. Aside from being not what I’m interested in , the “blank slate” concept is compelling enough to be very interesting. I’m definitely going to follow this.

For everyone reflexively hating on this “Bezos Mobile”, I’m well aware of the reputation Amazon built for itself. However they are promising something people could own. For a reasonable price. And even customize. Instead of jumping right to negativity, this warrants some optimism

Keep an eye on Slate. Hope they do well

Probably

No surprise that they are going to power this beast at all costs

I mean, they could use their fascist power grab to drive through the infrastructure work to expand power transmission lines needed to support a modern economy, renewables, and yes more datacenters

Additional coal is just the easiest way since we already have century old power lines bringing that power where it’s needed

Yes, in this case, coal might be easiest, cheapest, fastest because we can continue to neglect infrastructure. It’ll fall apart on someone else’s administration

But they have gotten significantly worse over time. I did buy a Fire Stick knowing i was getting ads, but it was so much better the Apps on my smart tv and cheap that it was well worth it. Now it’s gotten bad enough that I no longer use it but suffer through the TV’s apps

I do plan on trying Apple TV in case it stays useable but at this point I’m not buying consumer tech from three years ago

Similarly with the Fire tablet. I knew I was getting ads when I bought them way back when, but tablets were expensive. Fire tablets were much cheaper and quite usable so the tradeoff was worth it. That long since stopped being true, and this experience is e partly why I don’t have an echo show.

I do want some dory of home dashboard, but echo show had never been under consideration. If the Apple rumors are real I might try that but otherwise I guess I’ll see when I have the motivation to build my own
