“Now” is weird. It doesn’t exist in a cosmic sense. Check out book “the order of time”.

Well, that’s good enough for me.

If someone in that meeting quickly raised a hand in an arc, you would notice the “about to throw something” pattern, look and notice the hand holds an eraser, analyze the arc and predict possible flight paths of the eraser. Then possibly notice the hand is now holding its position and the owner is actually looking down at the table. Maybe to squash somethingMust be something on the table. Maybe a spider! Better look. Wait now many people are moving away, oh someone spilt some water and the eraser is actually the guys phone and he is checking to see if his laptop is safe from the spilt water.

Fortunately you are on the other side of the table and predict the water isn’t going to splash for otherwise flow onto your stuff.

All your possible responses result in you tossing a napkin towards the spill.

Our brains are always pattern matching and predicting. I bet you tried to reason out where I was going with my comment before you finished reading it.

FTC? They might be doing it FOR the FTC.

I thought you were going to say, don’t publish the code. Publish the prompts.

I hope we have the social infrastructure to support people whose jobs are automated. Because no one, especially a 75-year-old, should starve to death living in poverty.

This is the signal the the government no longer serves the people. Delivering water is a basic government function. If they won’t make water a right, expect large numbers of dead.

And here we are. Needing cars. Unless you want to spend the big money of rebuilding cities.

But we aren’t talking about that individual energy needs. We are talking about everyone’s energy needs at scale.

The economies of scale work differently for billions of mouths vs one mouth.

Religious and too poor to eat meat.

Not exactly selling the idea of “strict vegan diet” to a bunch of people with enough cash for meat and incisors in their jaws.

You got any examples of cultures en mass with “strict vegan diets” because lentils taste delicious?

We have zero business using AI en mass right now.

We are running random code in user space. It’s a damn virus. We don’t fully understand all of their abilities. We are cruising towards disaster.

Shan’t is a lot of fun. It feels like such a misuse of contractions. But it works. And it’s fun to say.

Also fun: yesn’t. Yes, but really no.

Why would SO be down? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around does it matter?

It was not a healthy relationship. And things slowly got worse and worse over time. I was too inexperienced to see the red flags.

Eventually after 19 years I wised up.

Resentment started building up and up and up.

I went under for 2 different surgeries. One of them I had post surgery complications. Years later, we needed to know the year I had the complications. I remembered the surgery, simply look it up and ta-da I got the date.

Except, my wife thought it was the other surgery. And insisted. I was incredulous and angry. I literally nearly died during the complications. I think I would remember the surgery it was from. And it definitely wasn’t from my vasectomy. I decided to make a stand.

I found the oxygen sensor we purchased for the event. Found to manufacture date. It was after her event. So it was physically impossible have the o2 sensor before her event. Wasn’t good enough. Maybe the date was wrong.

I finally went to the hospital and got the records. I was right. My wife simply could not or would not acknowledge it.

I spent the majority of my marriage being “the forgetful one”. And here was a single case where I was right and she had memory issues. And she could not simply say “oops, I got it wrong”. I began to doubt her memory and thought maybe I was being gaslit sometimes.

It was a very influential event in the course of our marriage. I lost a lot of respect for her and began to wonder what our future would be like.

We were divorced within a year.

Not only this, but other things too. But this was a big part of it.

Worked like crap on mobile as well.

News is hardly the Internet. And everything in News is on the Internet.

There are news+ articles available to Apple subscribers. This is hardly “the internet”. This is analogous to premium memberships on websites.

Nor is it required that an app developer make an app for every platform. Microsoft doesn’t make office for Linux.

Because when 50gb was a lot, by the time you filled it, 200 GB was cheap and a non event.

Korrect Oll

AI tooling will eventually become the default.

Engineers are an implementation detail.

One could use his flip flop to invalidate his new position. But one of those two positions is true. And if they guy who spent the most energy on position 1 changes his mind, that is worth paying attention to. His second position is likely a more informed, and true, position.

They said as much in their intro.

Due to a rare defect in our software, sometimes the zip is corrupted.

We blame the user for not backing up, or backing up corrupted files.

That is when I stopped reading.

Your point being?

Hubble in certain circumstances can see narrow and far. If you express this as a cone, you can extrapolate a volume.

It might be very useful to have something that can search wide and maybe not as far; nearer Earth dangers perhaps. Express that as a wider cone and extrapolate volume.

This is a fair trade off for many. I want my OS to protect me. All things being equal, if my OS doesn’t help shitty vendors install unwanted stuff… good.

It can swing the other way, my options are limited to company’s that pay my OS provider for access.

This looks like a sequence diagram than has been extended from a 2d graph to 3d with the 3rd d being “time” that you step through with a button.

You could render this interactive diagram as a static sequence diagram quite easily. And then see all the relations in full glory at one time.

I get what you are saying. But… if it didn’t need a browser, it still needs a runtime, and a computer, and electricity, and technology to print CPUs and and and

A browser is just a drop in the bucket.

“Saving and Editing” is pretty big for a menu title. But it is more applicable than “File”.

Most apps don’t deal with Files as the controlling metaphor.

Word would do well so call it “Documents”

Or maybe… put the file options in the App’s Menu. And only use file, it is files.

You shouldn’t be interacting like it is a human. It is a LLM. And if the interaction happens to be in a form of prose similar to how you talk to other humans, that is coincidental.

Are we really this devolved as coders? We can’t handle different syntaxes? We need LLMs to write queries? What the heck is going on with our industry?

Old man rant off.
