  • The ability of AI to write things with lots of boilerplate like Kubernetes manifests is astounding. It gets me 90-95% of the way there and saves me about 50% of my development time. I still have to understand the result before deployment because I'm not going to blindly deploy something that AI wrote and it rarely works without modifications, but it definitely cuts my development time significantly.

  • 100% this. I generally use AI to help with edge cases in software or languages that I already know well or for situations where I really don't care to learn the material because I'm never going to touch it again. In my case, for python or golang, I'll use AI to get me started in the right direction on a problem, then go read the docs to develop my solution. For some weird ugly regex that I just need to fix and never touch again I just ask AI, test the answer it gices, then play with it until it works because I'm never going to remember how to properly use a negative look-behind in regex when I need it again in five years.

    I do think AI could be used to help the learning process, too, if used correctly. That said, it requires the student to be proactive in asking the AI questions about why something works or doesn't, then going to read additional information on the topic.

  • It's the feel-good story that Republicans talk about when they say "pull yourself up by your bootstrap" but they're upset because that's only supposed to work for white men.

  • This man needs to go to prison for this. He is allowing unvetted people to gain access to sensitive information about former and current government employees. As a former federal employee whose information was leaked in the last OPM data breach, I am beyond irate about this. I will be contacting all of my representatives to make it ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CLEAR that this is unacceptable and needs to be stopped and result in incarceration for everyone involved including the security guard who was "just doing his job" by NOT DOING HIS MOTHER FUCKING JOB!

  • This rotation appears to be OAN, New York Post, Breitart, and Huff Post. So, three conservative organizations plus Huff Post.

    Huff Post is an organization that has no credibility on the right and no experience covering the Pentagon. They're removing the outlets that might actually be able to make a difference while still giving themselves the cover of "Well, we added Huff Post!"

    I'm waiting to see them start banning NBC, ABC, etc from Whitehouse press events.

  • So, the problem, as I see it, is that we already did the protest thing under the first Trump administration. It didn't do much then and we're tired now. It's been about a decade of hearing about awful shit from Trump and realizing that our family members, coworkers and neighbors are actually awful people.

  • Trump's order never went into effect. The judge blocked his order before it could take effect.

    It's unlikely that it will ever take effect either as evidenced by the injunction. The judge wouldn't have issued an injunction if she didn't think there was:

    1. a substantial likelihood that the law would have significant negative impacts if it were to take effect and
    2. a strong likelihood that Trump's order would be permanently blocked upon further review.

    She.

    Also, yes, she blocked it for a week. She blocked it immediately because it has a significant chance of causing harm if it were to take effect immediately. This gives her time to consider the issue and give a real ruling. The fact that she blocked the order from going into effect so quickly indicates that she thinks that she is likely to block the order altogether.

    You're right, it's not a "major loss" for Trump yet, but it is shaping up to be one. I expect she will block this, it will get appealed to the DC Court of Appeals who will affirm, then SCOTUS will decline to hear the subsequent appeal.
