Insanity

Would have been nicer if they stayed in the literary sphere rather than films. But funny nonetheless lol.

To a certain extend I can fully accept that GH has scaling issues because of the insane traffic increase from AI generated code. But they are owned by one of the largest technology companies in the wo…

Hardly newsworthy, everything is mocked on the internal slack lol.

9 is next to 0, so my guess was typo.

Which is pretty much aligned with what more level-headed people predicted would happen, if my memory is correct. There was a strong push for UK to leave EU, but it was more based on emotion than ratio…

To add to the other posters, keep-the-lights-on usually means a product has no active feature development. It’s just supported with on-call and maybe some bug fixes depending on capacity. No clue if C…

Yeah this is my feeling as well. I have a handful of friends in different countries, when we are near each other we just send a quick text. I don’t need Facebook to tell me someone I vaguely remember …

I was in high school when Facebook took off in my country (2008). And fair enough, first few years were maybe more “social-ish”. I left the platform by 2012 though. Might also say more about me and my…

Social media was never really “social” in my opinion. Reading updates from hundreds of people you have shallow interactions with offers the illusion of having a social life. So I’m not sure if this ch…

+1, and how does that relate to meth?

Yup, agreed. I worked fully remote for a few years and never felt like I lacked social interaction. Apart from being married, I had some hobbies where I'd meet people and was fortunate to have a …

Yeah. Compare mental health of those with families in remote vs non-remote work and it might flip entirely. It is valuable though to point out that loneliness is a real issue and remote work could exa…

I wrote a python script that I run locally which scrapes read.amazon.com (think this is the URL, I’ll double check when I’m home). Kindle highlights are automatically synced there. The Python scraper …

I highlight often when reading on my kindle. I have created a small program that scrapes my highlights and sends me a daily email with one of them. I get it before I wake up and it’s the first thing I…

Necessity is the mother of innovation. I guess they’re pretty optimistic that they can automate away the humans needed to sustain an aging population. Not a bet I would be willing to take though lol.…

+1. And honestly you can injure yourself pretty badly by just falling down. Especially if you’re a bit older.

I actually was about to post this quote for another reason as well. Usually you make these references to “known sizes” so people can relate. But no one has seen Napoleon in the flesh _and_ they undere…

Interesting experience. I set up 2 iPad pros, basically one shot experience that took a few minutes. Even the first one I owned was straightforward

Using both Linux (at home) and Mac (at work), the differences are small for development. But my dev stack is basically just Neovim & CLI tools. That said, I’ll never work on Windows. 15ish years a…

Or, an iPad. I’ve only traveled with my work computer and my personal iPad the past 5 years. Roughly on business trips once every ~2-3 months for a week and I’ve found I can do all I need on the iPad…

Price per M/tokens is also a fuzzy metric when newer models reason longer, and then burn more tokens while doing so.

Fair enough, experiences do differ. But how are you evaluating those POCs? Just based on 'visually what looks better', or architecturally etc? In my experience, the slow parts are around mak…

Yeah, there's just this massive wave of AI delusion turning into disillusion. Writing code was never the slow part of enterprise development. We've made the slow part _somewhat_ faster, trad…

Yeah milk is problematic. I don’t think people always realize that cows don’t magically generate milk, they need to be impregnated before you get to milk them. It sounds obvious but I’m not sure if it…

If this topic interests you, I recommend reading “Animal Liberation” by the philosopher Peter Singer. I discovered it during my philosophy classes at university, and eventually became vegetarian as a …

This might say more about the quality of modern apps than the power of the iPhone lol.

Ha, I did the same about 15 years ago. Nowadays don’t need the file anymore but it was a good way to get rid of that initial automated behaviour.

Which bomb would advertise itself as such.. this is something I’d expect in the movie Airplane!, not something to happen in real life.

Say MTHFR one more time, I dare you. Never heard of the acronym though so not sure what the mutation implies.
