What rock do you live under?

No Doubt is more angry than horny? What?

I had a paycheck bounce once. Bank of America retroactively applied a $30 fee to every transaction I had made in the three days since depositing it. My balance went from like $800 to -$2000 instantly.

They’re super conservative. I rode just once in one. There was a parked ambulance down a side street about 30 feet with it’s lights one while paramedics helped someone. The car wouldn’t drive forward through the intersection. It just detected the lights and froze. I had to get out and walk. If we all drove that conservatively we’d also have less accidents and congest the city to undrivability.

Yes it absolutely does matter if other people’s idea of offensive seems reasonable.

If it seems unreasonable my new game for that moment is to see how much I can offend them without breaking any laws.

This is hard to quantify. I use them constantly throughout my work day now.

Are they smarter than me? I’m not sure. Haven’t thought too much about it.

What they certainly are, and by a long shot, is faster. Given a set of data, I could analyze it and pull out insights and conclusions. It might take me a week or a month depending on the size and breadth of the data set. An LLM can pull out insights and conclusions in seconds.

I can read error stacks coming from my code, but before I’ve even read the first few lines the LLM has ingested all of them, checked the code, and reached a conclusion about the necessary fix. Is it right, optimal, and avoid creating other bugs? Like 75% at this point. I can coax it, interate on the solution my self, or do it entirely myself with the understanding of the bug that it granted me. This same bug might have taken hours to figure out myself.

My point is, I’m not sure how to compare smarter vs orders of magnitude faster.

It’s not 14 hours of effort. It’s 14 hours of letting shit boil.

I highly recommend getting slow cooker if you don’t have one. You can do stocks and broths without having to keep an eye on them. I let my bone broths go for two days.

You can also just reset your phone real quick. The first login requires pin / password.

You put your flesh under there!?

I get what you mean, I do the same, it just sounded weird.

How do you open a jar? Oh, I just use my hand meat.

Just get all your shit together, and put it in a backpack, so it’s together.

Came to say the same. Work from home, permanent remote. I moved out to acreage in the middle of the forest to raise my family. Pretty dang happy, with good pay, especially for the area.

It can be stressful, but like, the fun stressful. Like a really hard puzzle that you feel great after figuring out. And then I just go outside and walk around my property when I need a break.

I’ve been advancing slowly. Manager asked if I wanted to manage people, naw dog, that’s not me. But slowly they’ve been putting me as lead on projects with others assigned to it also. It’s leading but not managing, still comes with pay raises so whatever, maybe I will manage one day.

Point is I’m happy.

And can reproduce the whole business in a weekend with the help of AI. There are no moats anymore.

I’m honestly not so sure anymore.

I don’t know what tools you’re using, but that translating the problem into an algorithm is exactly what the AI is very good at.

I basically only architect stuff now, then fine tune the AI prompts and results.

Yeah, I use it daily for coding. It’s a force multiplier. It basically makes me 2 - 3x more effective. My company laid off all our junior engineers and is not hiring juniors any longer.

And that there’s no carrot on a stick, no incentive you can lie about that you’re rehabilitating these folks. There is absolutely no rehabilitation for people this far gone. They are nothing but a behemoth of a burden.

You go next zero to save the world.

I go next zero to survive the apocalypse.

We are not the same.

Is kraut acceptable? It better fucking be acceptable.

That’s what they’re doing quite successfully, so I’m sure you could arrange it.

I started to play this one, then when I was trying to decide how to place some skill points I went down the absolute rabbit hole of online build sharing, and companion apps to help you track how to place your points and what gear you need to aquire, got overwhelmed and bored at the same time and put it down.
