yea, this is bananas. There is so little REAL economic benefit of these AI systems, this feels worse than dotcom.

YUP. Came here to say this.

An “AI” was added to the expense report system at work and it’s pathetically bad at categorizing the simplest stuff like rental cars and hotels from major brands. A pile of if’s would be better.

I mute accounts which don’t allow replies.

This ad was so shocking, I was waiting for some incredible punchline which never happened. A pivotal moment from Apple’s past of working alongside other creative tools to thinking they have categorically replaced them all with their device.

I took this last storm, I liked how clear the sidewalk was

Yup, this is the administration trying to steal the tech.

Fight the power. Flavor Flav wins.

Probably an ADA failure as well, it’s too all or nothing for existing buildings.

me 10 years ago: selling old electronics on eBay
my teenagers now: buying old electronics on eBay to be retro.

He already had a massive following on Twitter (300+k followers) and has been engaged on there a ton for a decade plus so anything he does gets instant audience.

OH “What is Kinkos??”

Is it true TDD? I see a lot of using GenAI to write post implementation tests to lock in behavior vs writing tests up front.

most big projects have this problem across the globe, always easier to just point at the past than predict the future.

We lose perspective on how big the US is, the CA high speed rail is 500 miles which is 2x longer than the entire country of Denmark.

1. Rebrand OpenVPN on a bunch of shit infrastructure
2. ???
3. Sell to private equity firm
4. Profit!

This is the rural&suburbia vs city schism of the US in general. A lot of people want huge vehicles because they have space for it — a lot of people don’t. The top selling cars in the highest GDP population dense states are smaller but there are simply more less dense states.

Had maintenance two months ago and they didn’t replace the original battery and this bothered me and lo and behold low battery and need replacement

I’m glad that I had all notifications on for the generator app which failed to tell me it’s not working and I only discover this physically looking at the lights on it.

yea, and once they have customer lock-in products like this aren’t well funded because the don’t have a way to make more money. Features which get improvements either have someone projecting or generating revenue with the work done. Customers lose.

Looks good!

In a sane timeline, this sentence alone would be the end of this guy’s career.

I can’t believe how well he nails this, too funny youtu.be/T5QNUNd0sx8?...

Lived near Groton and we’d drive by his house on the way to places and say “that’s where J. Geils lives!”

My sarcasm didn’t come through well enough :) I use it all the time and analogs on other platforms drive me bananas

dude have you heard of perfetto 🤦‍♂️

I am not sure I am enjoying the GenAI tool flip flopping around on C++ template link errors but it is amusing.

lol this is great

True, and a lot of people are underwater with their existing loans.

Renovating a bathroom and the electrician from 25 years ago was too lazy to drill the studs so I have to re-snake these to put tile where a tub was.
