sigh, another typo on my permanent record.

On my kids chrome books, the actual AI chatbot websites are blocked, but the kids just ask follow up questions to the AI response in a normal google search.

I've been posting under my real name for over 20 years because this was always going to be the case. Using my real name is a constant reminder to not to post things I might later regret.

Yes, but, it has to be done, so we should just get started planting those trees. Keep working on the tech in parallel. It's all well and good to switch to solar, but we also need to capture all t…

It's the second point in the release notes

I was reading the threads about local AI closely yesterday. Some people seem happy with it. If I had the cash, I'd spend 6-10k on a strix halo with 128 GB and run it local with no internet connec…

I thought of an example of how this should work. My parents used to go to the same restaurant every Friday night, for many many years. A little chit chat at the register each visit, it doesn't ta…

"...never fix a running thing. Replace it. AI pushes this premise beyond infrastructure and into application code itself. When rewriting is cheap, editing in place becomes risky. Mutation accumul…

Even the first story in the article sounds gross and creepy to me "The team became mini-concierges. Every guest walked in to find someone who knew them — not in a creepy, surveillance-state way, …

Can anybody let me know how just chatting with Qwen3.6 on a Strix Halo 128GB If I give it a page of context, can it write a linked list or identify a bad line of CSS? Is there anywhere online I can ch…

We should help by shooting them into space.

nope, Super Mario is just hard. I set the SNES up for the kids to give it a try. It's all skill and memory and repetition. Modern games just don't want to be to punishing. They want everybod…

Unity Game Engine does this, They support x distro only. So you mess around installing their chosen OS only to find stuff still doesn't work properly. :)

I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I'm so happy to hear Tony Gilroy drawing direct parallels to the Empire and the current US administration. also this link. https://kottke.org&…

I imagine it's really hard to spot a comma in the wrong place, or a missing sentence in a 10 page contract unless you wrote it yourself, or you assembled it from some battle tested templates.

Haha, Your still supposed to actually work when you're at home.

I was writing a similar comment to yours, thinking about "value to society", and value to loved ones, even negative value of enemies. I agree that talking about "value of humans" i…

Context is everything. If the wider discussion was about how men are better than women, and in that context it was shown that "Most good engineers are male", it would be natural to draw the …

This is not normal. Artists can and do work in a fixed size sprite sheet for so many reasons.

It's hard to care much about how software is written when superpowers are invading their neighbors, democracy itself is under attack, the food supply chain is failing, and the world is hotter tha…

I think smart developers will be building isolated modules, so if your AI generated module keeps failing, you can amputate it and make a fresh one.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. Perhaps because people don't like the sentiment. But its true, people are hired as tools to write programs. Both people and AI make mistakes. Perh…
