I follow a tax guy on Twitter and he said it is because of regulations.

I just wonder why Intuit can't have some local model and do it within guidelines.

And you can add me to the list of people who ran my tax filings through AI and found mistakes.

Most were the CPAs fault but I forgot to include a local folder when uploading and codex was able to recognize that my CPA did not include those forms.

I would not advocate replacing CPAs with AI but they can definitely fact check the CPA.

I have a smart plug that can turn on and off...I have my coffee maker switched on, and it only switches on when my wifi plug is on. So I can have the water heating before I come down stairs. Whether it's better than a smart coffee maker or not I'm not sure - but at least I have a popular device that has more eye. Not sure how many people are looking at niche coffee makers.

The person who grows the wheat understands how to grow the wheat. The person who grist the flour understands how to grist the flour.

And I would understand how to bake bread from scratch.

Now in the entire chain, we will get to a point where no one knows anything.

That's great but you're not an 8 year old.

>we'd already be seeing vibed stuff succeeding everywhere, and pricing out incumbents, but I guess I'm not seeing this? Like at all?

As a small business owner I see this. Random people contacting me to sell a software where I can instantly tell it is vibe coded. Subscription prices half or 1/4th of incumbents. Domain names registered in the last few months.

Kind of similar to rabies. If you get bit by a rabid animal in an area with lots of rabies, the doctors know what to do and you get meds immediately for cheap.

In the US it's a few thousand dollars for the treatment.

I remember for math tests in high school/college it was easier for me to derive formulas than to remember it.

Can we be more specific and say it was Trump who pulled the US out of the Paris Accord, twice.

My comment got a lot of traction but for context my kids are early in elementary school, far from their teenage years.

The intention of the iPad was to watch some educational videos, check out books, magazines from the library.

They still have occasional access but only with direct active supervision (i.e we are next to them vs we are making dinner).

As they get older, we will revisit.

Fall behind what. How long does it take to learn how to use AI.

I would rather my kids have the intelligence to know when to figure out AI is wrong than to start using Ai at an early age.

>children have quickly found workarounds for such measures, such as asking friends to message them links, which can bypass restrictions when opened

I was very surprised of this by my own kids find workarounds like l33t hackers. Apple's restrictions are a joke. The app store is full of things they can mess with. My daughter mentioned some way to get around screen time.

I've ended up just taking the iPads away.

I don't listen to Dwarkesh but I'm aware of who is and his influence. I was baffled that he could not understand it...Don't know if he had his own agenda or just not intelligent (which is scarey for someone with influencec), but I sensed the frustration in Jensen Huang for something that is fairly obviously.

The same scenario happens all the time when the US takes away something from China and China doubles down, gets into survival mode and then beats the US.

May have an overlap of which political campaign they donate too.

Why hack a password when you can get the employee to just tell you.

>using LLMs for massive parts of the jobs they grow up to do

These are elementary school kids...if they start using AI in 6th grade, they have 6 years to learn AI before graduating high school.

I bought a returned, "Like New" laptop for my wife. Some Lenovo, higher end consumer laptop. The onboarding process was terrible. Something like, the wifi drivers were not included. I had to create a local account to download the drivers. But there's no ethernet port. Luckily had a USB to Ethernet dongle.

I thought to myself...yeah no wonder someone returned this.

I assume you refer to the Go Pro MAX2...I bought one because per reviews it was actually pretty solid. Costco sold it so I could return if I didn't like it. My prior camera was the Samsung 360 - which is discontinued. Been fairly happy with the Max 2 - I do mostly outdoor shooting. I can't compare it to the Insta360 or DJI but the reviews says Go Pro MAX2 is superior in outdoors, daylight which is my main use case.

Since everything is processed on camera/phone I hope I can still use it even if they go under.

It may not be as big as tech layoffs but my wife negotiated a relocation. We used a broker and a lawyer for the first time. We did consultation with a new set of brokers and lawyers. My wife felt they were not aggressive enough. She negotiated EVERYTHING with the landlord (a very large regional landlord). She got more than what she would get and everything was in her favor.

Not only did she gain $50k more in tenant improvement/free rent/et and other freebies that the brokers/lawers she did not get, but easily saved $10k to paying these "professionals".

I still use it to see of my Internet connection still works. It's only 3 letters and likely won't be serving me cached content from my browser.

>Why not require breathalyzers in cars before starting them?

FYI Cars will soon detect if you are impaired.

Then I suppose we can go back to having computer labs that can only access white listed domains and other study materials. Students code there to ensure no cheating.

Similar boat here. Many of these service industries are cheap. I've built my own CRM/management system that no big company will ever touch. Even if I can sell to 1000 companies and charge them $25 a month...I'd have staff overhead, maintenance to support it. SaaS isn't some little photo editing app or something you can just launch and forget.

I'd rather grow my business and make as much money. If I can crush it with my business I'd make more than that.

My use case was when I went to the office and I wanted to get some personal work. I brought a USB-C dock and plugged in my employer's peripherals, hop on my cellular connection and have at it.

This is exactly it. The junior and mids on my team produce Junior and mid quality level vibe code.

Too generic prompts, unaccounted edge casez, inattentive code reviews...

I think this is only true if the United States takes armaments from the Pacific theater.

I don't think OP is talking about a specific war, but the overall cost to maintain such a capability and project force all over the world. At least that is what I perceive when people lament about lack of healthcare.

The United States military budget is now 1.5 trillion dollars per year.

I have my own side project that I vibe coded. I probably did what would take one team 6 montns and produced it myself in one month.

I'm not afraid of breaking stuff because it is only a small set of users. However for my own code for my professional job no way I would go that fast because I would impact millions of users.

It is insane that companies think they can replace teams wholesale while maintaining quality.

>Laptops have small screens and poor ergonomics.

This is a huge gripe of me and my wife. Growing up we all had desktops in the computer lab at school (elementary+) and you had decent size screens. Now kids pull up their little 12" chromebook in their classroom. Kids have eye strains, myopia etc...

There's is a button at the top of the app you can hit to just show posts from your friends...try using it.
